Welcome Hathaway!

Hathaway was born at 8:01am, Thursday April 16. She was 7 pounds 14 oz. We think she is super sweet and are happy to all be home now. Oakley and Tessa are in love with her and cant stop going over to look at her. We feel very blessed.

Tessa's Party












For Tessa birthday she said that she wanted to dog and baby party, so we tried to accommodate both. She was a sick with a bit of a cold but I think she had a fun time.










Tessa's Birthday

Tessa wanted a dog birthday cake, so I made these little dog cupcakes for her to have on her real birthday and to practice for the big cake for her party. Also, note the cute pajamas she got for her birthday from Grandma Donna and Grandpa Gary.
Oakley decided to use his own money to but this little kitty as a present for Tessa birthday. He thought she would be good to play with his two big cats: Ella and Sketcher. It was a great gift.





In the morning we took the kids to the Safari at Great Adventure and they had a fun time.



Tessa was up early in the morning on her birthday ready to open presents. The presents from G&G Harrison had arrived the day before and she remembered they were there and that she could open them on her birthday.

Easter Eggs

As we traditionally do, we dyed Easter Eggs for Family Home Evening on Monday (sorry for the shirtless photos, but it is much easier to clean up without them). The kids had a great time being very creative with the eggs and Tessa also decided to dye her hand blue (and just so you know, it takes a few days to wash away).







We have a Reader

Oakley has really become quite the reader. He has even started to read to Tessa--this is great for me!



Bryce in Utah

Bryce had a chemistry conference in Utah a few weeks ago. He decided to drive to St.George after to visit his grandma. He had a good visit with her and was glad he was able to see her.
