Milo Monster

Milo is now 11 months old and is officially walking. He started out slowly, walking around the furniture, a few timid steps here and there, then one day he just took off and never looked back! This is my favorite age and stage so far. The kid cracks me up. He has a sense of humor now and does the funniest stuff. He fake sneezes just to get an "Oh bless you." He has started blowing kisses, which melts my heart. He snaps his fingers and claps along to "If your happy and you know it." He has mastered the stairs, up and down. He says, "Ma", "Da", "Dog", "Baba" and "Go" as in it where did it go. Even Toby is starting to warm up to him. Milo takes Toby's ball and waddles away as fast as he can just giggling because he knows Toby will follow him. Toby doesn't even mind because its a form of fetch, I guess.
I love, love, love this baby!

Easter

Intoducing: Briten D. Anderson

My best friend, Maclee, had her sweet little baby yesterday. We are so excited for Jade and Maclee. They have been waiting a long time for this little guy!

Snowbasin

Every March we go to Snowbasin with Cody's family. We all stay in a condo together and have so much fun watching movies, playing games, hitting the hot tub, eating yummy food and just hanging out. I look forward to this trip every year. It's a great way to end winter and bring in spring.

Diane & Shannon watched Milo one day so that Cody and I could ride together.
It was the only time we got to all season.

April Fools!

San Diego and Sunshine!

Warning: Picture Overload!

Milo and I drove down to San Diego last week with my parents to visit the Welkers. It was the perfect getaway. The weather was beautiful, 60's and 70's, the whole time. We went to Sea World and the beach and just spent time hanging out with the kids and shopping, of course.
My parents drove home Saturday. Hayley and her kids and Clay and his cute fiance, Chayla, came on Sunday. So we spent a few days with them and then Milo and I flew home Tuesday. It was a little depressing to come home to the snow and the cold:(
Lola and Milo were so cute together! It is so funny to see how alike they are. They make the same sounds and were both crawling around. Kye and Ashton are so cute with the babies and such good helpers. It made me realize how much I miss having Amber and her family just 5 minutes away.
Amber and I are already planning my next visit for this summer. Hopefully for even longer this time!

Kye was a little excited when we got there.
This is him being "Gollum" on grandpa's head.

Old Town
Kye was being the pirate from the ride at Disneyland.

Clay and Chayla.

It was so much fun getting to know Chayla better.
She is so fun and easy going and she and Clay are great together.

Lola 10 months, Milo 10 months, Fisher 19 months

Milo loved crawling in the sand, and eating it!

Happy Birthday Cody

We love you!
