March 2016

 

David playing peek a boo with Eli looking under the table

Because what's cuter than a baby eating his toes??

 Jared was at a Nascar race in Vegas, so my dad took Halle to her school's daddy daughter dance. She was SO thrilled to go with him!

It's totally normal to be able to sleep at a car race...right??

Puppies love the sun

I took David to the store and he would ONLY be happy if I walked around hunched over with my arms around him. If I tried to push the cart like a normal person he'd scream. You can see the tears and red eyes, but now the smile because I'm hugging him. 

I was watching Jess and Joan's dogs, and while pumping, they HAD to be in the bathroom with me. 

 
David was consistently behind in his development by 2 months. He sat up at 8 months, crawled at 10 months, and walked about 14 months. This is my attempt to get him to get him to crawl to anything. And his lack of crawling.

Great Grandpa passed away the evening of March 10. He'd been without his sweetheart for 14 years and I'm sure it was a most joyous reunion. We quickly planned a trip to San Diego to attend his funeral. We got a nice condo on the beach.

The day of the funeral was beautiful and peaceful. Joan spoke lovingly about her father, and Jared and I played a musical number. Jared made an incredible video of the life of grandpa, with so many pictures from his life and awesome videos of grandpa playing his trombone. He was an excellent trombonist, and as he lost his sight he continued to play from memory. We sure love and miss that great man, and are so grateful for the blessing of eternal families.

Happy Easter

 We went on a little hike up AF Canyon on a beautiful March morning.

This is a picture of what we call "naughty Mozzie" which is a normal phrase.

Jared had a business trip to NYC and got to see Alfie Boe in Finding Neverland.  We saw Finding Neverland in April 2015 and while it was enjoyable, it wasn't completely memorable. Jared said that Alfie joining the cast completely transformed the show. I'd like to go see him in it in London.

 While he was away the boys and I enjoyed playing and napping while Halle was at school.
