Sleep

We've been pretty busy around here, with farming underway. Our crops are growing, and we're irrigating. We all get pretty worn out, Terry especially, but Oliver sure knows how to take a good nap or two!

He's growing up so fast, I had to snap a few pictures while I still could! Lately, he has been sticking his legs through the rungs of his crib and getting stuck, we're hoping he grows out of that real quick. Love this little boy to pieces.

Happy Birthday Oliver!

Can you believe it has been a year?!? Our baby is ONE! He was sure spoiled too! Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins gave him so many presents! What did mom and dad give him you ask? Bubble bath, and some new clothes. He didn't need any more toys! We celebrated his birthday with our families the Sunday before his birthday, which was May 8th.

 He LOVES his new toys! He plays with them all day. Especially if they have wheels. which all of them did.

He also got to have a cake smash! Candice Mourtisen with Candy's Eye Photography took these pictures.

He was crying during this whole thing, and never wanted to touch the cake. I put his hands in it. Some how they turned out good though! We love our little boy so much! Happy birthday big guy!

Twitter!

That's right! I now have a twitter account! Oliver thought it was necessary to keep up with the times. I let him play with my phone (on a daily basis) and some how he created me a twitter account! Now, I only have a dumb phone. Not a smart phone. How he managed to do this, I'm not sure. So, follow us on twitter

@Wm16519273 (creative huh?)

only kidding, it will never be updated, unless Oliver figures that out too.

Yesterday was also Oliver's birthday! I'm just waiting on getting his pictures, and then there will be a post on that as well! :)

Whooaa

 Terry and I had quite the adventure the other day. It was decided that our barn needed a light, so guess who got put on the job? That's right, I did. We climbed into the bucket of our neighbors telehandler, and up we went! This machine has been "well loved" and every now and then, it would begin to sink back down, and it would have to be raised back up. Well, I didn't know it was going to do that, so in an attempt to help Terry lift this huge light, I was leaning against the barn. When the bucket started to move, I only freaked out a little, but I tend to say "whoa, whoa, whoa" when something unexpected happens, and unexpected that was! Terry wasn't quite prepared for it either, because he quickly grabbed a hold of my shirt (like that was going to save me!) It really wasn't that bad though, and I would definitely do it again! The sad part is, we haven't even turned the light on!

We waved to Oliver, and told Sherri to share him with my mom if anything happened ;)

The Zoo!

Oliver and I had the opportunity to go to the zoo with some friends. Oliver was in a terrible mood on the way over, so I thought we were in for a long day. Much to my surprise however, he did great! We got to see giraffes, penguins, hyenas, a leopard, a lion, and lots more! I think the best part though was getting to feed the goats! It was awesome to have an interactive part at the zoo! Oliver was trying to grab the goats by ears. It's so much fun getting to watch him learn to play with other kids. We had an awesome time and can't wait to go again!

 

Easter 2013

Oliver had his first Easter! I think he had quite a bit of fun too! We went to Darcia and Levi's to celebrate the Saturday before. We had some good food, a water gun fight, and an Easter egg hunt! We sure did miss out on seeing Anna, Dian, Jenny, and their families. We are so excited for their visit this summer. Here are plenty of pictures to show our day.

The Hunt

 Everyone checking out their goodies

See that rock? It went in his mouth.

 The Egg Race

I brought real eggs, not knowing I should have brought plastic ones full of candy (duh..) I heard a little boy say he threw his in the garbage, but hey, my kid ate his!

Becca's face was covered in chocolate!

 Water Gun Fight

Oliver proceeded to dump the water out of the bucket.

We had a fun Easter and we are so grateful for our Savior and his great sacrifice that we will one day be able to return unto him and be an eternal family.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

The last couple of months have been rather busy, so instead of a boring post you have to read, here are some pictures of some of the things we've been up to!

We've folded laundry. 

Oliver likes to climb in to any of the laundry baskets. The round black one is especially fun because he can roll around in it!

   Hung out.

Oliver wants to be just like his dad, when Terry is home, Oliver is stuck like glue to him! He is also getting close to only taking one nap a day, the picture on the right he conked out at Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's house.

 Made new friends!

Left- We went and saw Grandma Craig, (she was my "Emmett" grandma while growing up.)  Right- Logan and Oliver getting close!

 We play.

This was originally a video, but I can't get them to upload for some reason! This is Oliver and his cousin Stryker wrestling at Grandma Jensen's house. They're already buddies!

Went to work!

Oliver can't wait to go to work with his dad! Left- He heard the tractor going and was not about to let it leave his sight. Right- We took Terry some water and Oliver just had to get dirty!

We painted.

I refinished our table and chairs.

We ate.

Look at him crossing his cute little legs!

 Just a little bit of what we have been up to! Terry has been out working on getting everything ready for the new farm season. It's right around the corner, literally, they turn the water in on Monday, at least that's what Terry said... We are looking forward to the warm weather and being outside!
