 Happy Birthday Rivey!

After making that dolly, I had enough material to make Riv a little matching dress!

not pictured: my heart melting in half

 The boys had a "dirt" for their 1st birthdays, so we thought this would work for River's. 

For maximum mess, add chocolate pudding in blobs throughout the dirt. 

What about J? His big day is next week, so let's keep this party going!

Liam is 7!

My friend drove up and helped me make cakes yesterday, since I have a few to do :) Liam's cake totally rocked.

 

Liam will learn how to fly fish this summer from the best (and handsome and sweet etc.) coaches!

There is nothing but a dirt field over the white fence, perfect for practice.

We invited a few super heroes to come. My brother's wife Christine made these herself! 

 

Liam is such a great big brother. He loves to share his birthday with Riv. We're so grateful he is in our lives. 

Birthdays!

River is turning 1 on Saturday! We love her so much!

 Liam and Julian have birthdays too, so we're having a little get together. Last year was the worst birthday ever for them, so this year we need some redemption! If you're in town, please stop by!

 Here's what I found on Etsy for the boy's gifts.

... and the dolly I made for River's gift. 

We visited an old friend a couple weeks ago too. We're going to give Liam something else that he can use on the rivers. Can't wait!

Easter Sunday

Right before church I snapped this shot- I was so happy it turned out. These kids mean so much to me and Tanner. We are definitely so blessed.

I'm grateful to know that Christ was resurrected and that we all will be resurrected again too. We hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend!

Get Your Bocce On

Warm weather came, and with it comes out the bocce ball set.

The kids LOVED it.  It's so easy to play for them. River enjoyed being pushed around too. 

Tanner's juggling skills. Isn't he the sweetest?!

One main reason for our move was to switch up Tanner's job, and work half as many hours! It was so nice to hang out with him this weekend and not have a project looming over his head. Can't wait for summer!

Lately... (Mostly Instagram Pics)

We moved into our new place. Things are going pretty well. We really miss Montana, but hope to find our niche in Idaho again soon.

I was feeling pretty lonely when my sister came up from Nevada to visit. It's so nice to be closer for things like this!

 River has cut 7 teeth, which makes for some pretty cute smiles..

 Point proven!

For Spring break we jetted down to Southern Utah to help my poor sister and her family. She is on bed rest due to early contractions (she just made it to 30 weeks). Keep her in your prayers!
