Happy Graduation Chels!

We have been MIA for a while now, mostly because my little sister, Chelsi graduated from high school and so we went home to Idaho for a couple of weeks. We took a million pictures while we were there so I decided to just post these. We just wanted to tell Chels Congrats! We are so proud of you and are excited for you to start a new chapter in your life. We love you!

If you were wondering...

Some of you may (or I guess, may not) be wondering what the gender of our second baby is going to be. Well, we decided (with the persuasion of some sweet friends and family) not to find out the gender and make it a surprise! I know, some of you are thinking, what were they thinking!! I think the same thing some days too actually! I have always wanted to wait and make it a surprise, but I never planned on doing it with my 2nd baby, I was thinking more down the line like the 4th one or so. We thought what the heck though, we have everything we will need except for clothes and I can always handle clothes shopping. So... 6 months down in waiting, 3 more to go! It will be fun!

Congrats!!

My little sister, Rendi and her husband Greg had their first little one today! We are so happy for them and Coulson is so excited to have his first little cousin on my side of the family.

Easter Weekend

We had lots of fun this past Easter weekend. It is hard for me to be away from family during the holidays, so we still try to do all the festivities we can!

On Saturday morning, we went to an Easter Egg Hunt with our friends, the Thomas.' Coulson and Shylie did pretty good, they got the hang of it real quick when they saw all the candy! The hunt is sponsored by Nestle, so we got some good candy!

Before the big hunt!

Mom was showing him how to do it!!!

Then he got the hang of it!

Coulson is usually pretty scared of things like the Easter Bunny, but we told him to be really brave. He is getting better!

Coulson made a haul at the hunt!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Easter Morning!

Coulson was so excited the Easter Bunny came to his house!

On our way to church!

Coulson's Easter attire!

Thanks for making Easter so exciting Coulson, what would we do without you!

Birthday Weekend!! (Lots of Picts)

"Hot Dog" Park

Ready for our big day!

Our birthday boy with his birthday pin.

Goofy was Coulson's favorite!

Finally meeting "Hot Dog!"

I didn't want him to be scared of him like he was of Santa Claus, so we kept reassuring him that he was really nice. He didn't cry, but he had a pretty tight hold on me. We were proud of him for giving him a high five though!

And he crashed about 5:00. It looks like Dad is pretty tired too!
The Jungle Cruise, Coulson liked this one cause he said it was like a boat ride through the Zoo!

Shooting Zurg with Dad on the Buzz Lightyear Ride!
Coulson loved the train!

It was a pretty exciting day! A little overwhelming I think for a 2 year old, but we still enjoyed it!

Coulson's favorite part, we think was at the end of the day when Woody, Jesse, and Buzz passed by in the Parade. His mouth just dropped open and he couldn't believe his eyes that he was seeing them in real life. Nate and I thought it was a priceless moment.

"P-sants"

in Coulson's words (Presents)

On Sunday, we opened presents! Coulson couldn't wait for this moment!

Coulson always wants to wear Daddy's hat, so we got him his own hat to match Dad.

This is my most favorite picture in the world

Coulson loves bubbles, so we got him a giant bubble wand.

He is such a "big helper" and always wants to help Dad "fix" things, so we got him his own tools. He thinks they are pretty cool!

Chuck E. Cheese Party

On Monday, we and our friends the Thomas' went to Chuck E. Cheese for a little birthday party for Coulson. Coulson loved it there!

The Dads seemed to love it just as much or more then the kids!

I love the look on Coulson's face in this picture.

We blew the candles out 3+ times, because that was Coulson's favorite part!

Coulson and his cute little friend, Shylie. They are only 2 months apart!

Yes, our child is taking a bite out of his cake. We don't know where he got this idea?!?

Thanks Coulson for a fun-filled birthday weekend. We had a blast and are so glad you came to our family. Happy 2nd Birthday! We love you!!
