Jude at 8 months

Jude turned 8 months on Sunday.
Spencer and I, of course, took a
billion photos and these ones made the cut.

Jude has been crawling like crazy,
and just today he stood up for a few
seconds all on his own.





Amelia, Steven and Lincoln came to visit.
The boys got "bunch naked" (Amelia's name for
babies just wearing diapers)for the cameras. We ate delicious Aussie burgers and
had a walloping good time.

My Birthday

So, for my birthday Spencer, Jude and I
drove out to Antelope Island. It was so
fun spending an entire day with my boys.

I love Antelope Island because from its east
side you can see most of the Wasatch Front, and
from the western side of the island you get a greater
idea of the actual extent of the lake.

For dinner we got take-out from our favorite Ogden
restaurant, the Athenian. The Athenian has the
best Greek food.

All of these photos were taken at the Garr Ranch
on Antelope Island.


Jude just started sucking his thumb last week.
I love it



I think Jude was a bit tired because he looks
stunned in all of these photos.

"Buy me last paps (paper), sir?"

So Jude went all "Newsies" on me for
Mother's Day. I loved it!

Jude will be 7 months on Thursday,
and to us he is quite the cutest.



Over Easter break Jude had his first rock climbing
experience at Chuckawalla Wall in St. George.

Jude's Baby Blessing

Spencer's parents hosted a delicious luncheon
at their home the day before Jude's blessing.
Also, my parents and some of my siblings were
able to visit and attend the blessing.
I am so grateful for all the support from both
our families.



I especially love this photo of Jude because
he looks so much like Spencer









Also, my sister Eliza and her sweet girl
Elise were able to stay with us for a week.
They were both a big help and I was able to get
a lot done on Jude's bedroom while they were here.

Just for Fun

Here are a couple of photos we have taken of
Jude since the beginning of January. I can't
believe he is almost 4 months.

Spencer bought this polar bear outfit on Ebay
for 99 cents. I love playing dress-ups.

Christmas Highlights

Our annual family photo by the Christmas tree.

Sweet "Mary" Elise


I can totally hear Lincoln saying to the
innkeeper, "Can't you see she's pregnant."


Christmas brings out the ugly side in all of us.


All the single babies on New Year's Eve


I wanted to showcase some of my favorite Christmas decorations.
Nothing can compare to the wonderful atmosphere
my mom always creates at Christmas time



Every year my mom makes a delicious gingerbread house.
When we were little, my siblings and I would tear it
apart and eat it on New Year's Eve.
