Karen and Gavin

Karen and Gavin came over yesterday to play and go swimmin! We had a great time. Orion was really excited to see Gavin again, he kept trying to talk to him and play (thought he wasnt really sure how). Karen and I had a great time catching up - We dont get to see each other as much as we would like. It sure was a great day!

These are pretty funny pics, I am not as good at this as Kristen - I always forget my camera! lol! So, I just snapped some quick ones when we got back from swimmin and the boys were tired. :) Such a big boy! According to the doctor he is only in the 20th percentile in growth this last time we went in - but he sure seems big to me. Its amazing how much he is starting to just look more like a toddler then a baby. Its going by so fast. :)

Fun with Amanda and Merrik



So yesterday Amanda and her son Merrik came up to visit us. It was so fun to see them! Orion had a blast playing with Merrik - he was so excited to have someone to play with that he kept practially running poor Merrik over, lol. We had fun catching up - we need to get together again Manda lynn :)
I will get more pics next time, I was lazy again ha.

He is his Mothers son...

So, anyone who knows me knows that I tend to fall asleep with my eyes open. Yes, I know weird... and now I have passed this crazy trait onto my son. Here is a quick pic of him asleep today, this is just a little bit of what we are capable of. I remember when I was living with Julie she had like a whole conversation with me once and I was totally asleep lol. I am so weird.
Gammy bought Ori this cute little shreck toy, while we were down visiting for a few days, I was really bad and didnt take many pics, but here he is on their floor playin. He really likes his new toy, he has been rollin around with it on the floor the last few days. :)

Crazy day!

So today after I took a shower I stuck Ori on the floor to explore while I got ready - lol I am still getting used to him being so mobile (since he has started crawling a little late) so when I turned around he was stuck in the middle of his saucer lol. I couldn't help but laugh... and then of course... get a picture :)

As you can see in this pic his head is up in the place for the seat - he couldn't figure out how do hunch over and get out lol ... silly.

Last night Mike and Lisa got everyone tickets to go see The Association at the Scera in Orem. It was way fun, we all had a good time. Dustin was a little sad to miss the Jazz game - until he found out what the score was lol. Come on Jazz!

Bonaire Video!

Its a little long about 8 min. but it was fun. I hope you all like I finally had time to put it on the blog. Again, it was only done with our regular still camera instead of my professional cam so the quality isnt the best. Enjoy!

We're back from Bonaire!!

Well we are back! We got back late last night and after 15 hours of traveling we are exhausted and in need of serious sleep. I decided to stick these pics on real quick. We had such a great time and I am working on a little video to throw on. However, I only had my camera so the quality of the video will only be minimum quality. Anyway its good to be back in the US. For those of you wondering about Bonaire here is a quick link. :)

Uh Oh...

Orion was being so cute today, while I was cleaning up after Steve and I did gospel study this morning, I went into the kitchen for a second (and I mean just a second) when I came back around the corner Orion had rolled across the floor and had his toy basket on its side getting ALL his toys out. He looked so cute I had to snap a few pics lol -
He is not crawling yet so it is always a reality check when he is able to get to stuff by himself, I dont know what I will do when he is mobile.

Crater Dive....






So we went up to Heber last week to do a practice dive for Bonaire! We are so excited to go this year! Anyway, we got Orion some of the cutest swim trunks ever. This is one pair that we tried on for our practice dive.

Oh Bother...

...as my Mother used to say. Today I think Orion had the worst blowout ever! I know its not pleasant to discuss ... but wow. He has had some troubles these last few days with him being able to "go" so then today when he finally went - lets just say he ended up in the tub with his clothes on lol. It was crazy - on the couch, on me (luckily there was a blanket on the couch)! uhg.

This is Ori playin in the tub - feelin much better!
He is SO lucky he is cute!! lol.


In this pic (sorry its fuzzy, my phone isn't fast enough anymore) he is learning how to escape from his tub.

new movie

I wanted to get a video on here of Orion rolling over, he has been doing it for a while but I have been a slacker mom and havent done any video of it. So here it is. This is Ori playin with the dog - they LOVE eachother so much they are almost inseperable. Ender is so cute with Ori and is never rough - it may look a little rough in the video but its soft. Orion loves to get Enders toy and play tug-a-war with him (not mention pull on Enders beard) lol. funny stuff.

YAY Grandpa's a genuis!

Here is our fabulous new fireplace!! Grandpa came up yesterday and created this masterpiece in a day and a half! We are so excited and it really does wonders for our living room. We are doing so much fixing up lately - we just bought new hard wood flooring, and I am putting wains coating around the bottom half of the walls throughout our main floor (as you can see next to the fireplace that is why it painted that way). It is really coming along - Thank you so much Grandpa for taking the time to come up here and work so hard!! We are so happy it looks amazing.

Below I took some before pictures so you can see the progress he made in such a short time. He even taught me a little about tileing.


More progress on Orions room - It is coming along slowly but surely. It has been a crazy undertaking but I am happy I decided to do it - I am only able to work on it 15 min here and there so it is really slow but I think it will be fun when its done. One day I will actually finish one of the many projects I have going right now haha (they boys make fun of me for starting so many, but hey you do what you can right lol).

More pics...

Well I realized the other day that there are not many pictures of me and Orion together. So Dustin took this one at the aquarium - he is kinda mad in it because he wants my phone that the picture is being taken with lol.

He still falls asleep in his stroller - haha its so funny to see his head bob when he starts to fall asleep - but if I try and lay him back he cries. :) Silly.

Playing at the Aquarium...

Farewell Elder Dibble!

Well Dax is off to the MTC now!! Dustin was so excited to see his brother off. What a great spiritual experience it was just to take him to the MTC! Dax is going to be great and we are so happy he has chosen to go serve the Lord!
So Grace is the other baby in Aarika's arms, she is Orions cousin and she is almost 2 - I just realized that Orion looks almost the same size! WOW I cant believe how much he is growing, he has been eating so much lately - now I see why haha!
He was trying to walk away here - he is so ready to take on the world and would rather I leave him to do it - he seems to think I hold him back ha.
Dax is getting his name tag! Now its official. Elder Dibble is ready for work.


Farewell Dax - we love you!!

oh small pictures...

My phone ran out of space so it took pictures in a really small setting :( oh well. I like them anyway. Again its been a while since i have posted any pics.
I am always surprised at how much he learns by watching us. I gave him this bottle of Pepsi to play with because he REALLY wanted it. He immediately tried to get it out of the bottle, and tilted in all sorts of directions trying to drink it. He is so funny.
I took my sister Micki to the Airport today and while we were sitting waiting he got so tired, he fell asleep in Steves lap lol - He NEVER does that - he is usually way too interested in everything to sleep in the car or anywhere for that matter.
I love this pictures, he fell asleep just like this - he looks like a doll haha cutie.
