Easter, Cousins, and Tulips

We had so much fun watching Ethan get his presents from the Easter Bunny. Having children makes the Holidays so much more meaningful.








We just went down to Arizona to see our new nephew, Landon. He is so cute, and it was crazy how big Ethan began to look. I felt like I might as well have had a toddler. These two are going to be such great buddies.











Landon is such a beautiful little baby. He has a dipples on his nose, and chin. He already has pretty blue eyes, and such cute features. We love you little guy.


























Gavin and Baylie are great big brother and sister to Landon. It is so amazing to watch them. Gavin loves to hold him, and Baylie sometimes tries to take care of him like she does with her dolly. Rachel and Alan have done such a great job with these two and it's so fun that they are now the parents of three. Ross and I look up to them alot. We love you guys.

























As I was down there I couldn't believe that now I had kids that were going to grow up with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas. It's funny because I have been an aunt now for over five years but it didn't hit me until I had my own. Funny how that works!!! Ross and I are so grateful for both of our families because they are so wonderful and we are so excited you guys get to be a part of Ethan and our future children's lives.


























































Ross and I went to tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point to celebrate Sarah's birthday. This is my favorite thing in Utah of the year. It is so beautiful, and colorful. It was fun to go with Sarah, Trevor and to have Jen and Covey there too. We had a blast. It was so beautiful and overcast. We had to wear ponchos, which was cool, and Sarah and I took a ton of pictures.
















































Ross and I like to call Ethan our "bud"dy. Ok yeah that was lame but I swear it was funny in my head. Good thing we all can laugh at ourselves sometimes.
















My sister Sarah has such a good eye for photography. I love to go and take pictures with her. She is amazing at it. These two photos were among many of her good ones. I am so lucky to have three very beautiful and talented sisters. They, along with my mom, are my best friends and I am so happy we get to share life together. (Wow, having a child has turned me into a sap.)

















Seriously, if you haven't gone to the Tulip Festival you should put on your list of things you want to do. It is so peaceful to walk around God's beautiful creations. I always think of that beautiful song.

Whenever I hear the song of a bird, or look at the blue blue sky.
Whenever I feel the rain on my face, or the wind as it rushes by.
Whenever I touch a velvet rose, or walk by a lilac tree.
I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world, Heavenly Father created for me.
