We love the sun!

Rhett really loves being outside!! It's been nice here in Rexburg so we go outside a lot. We have a few friends in our ward that we've been going on walks with. It's nice for mommy to have some company! :) Most recently we've started taking a blanket out to sit in the shade and play with toys. Rhett just loves being able to look around, and if he can sit up while looking then that's even better!! :)

Solids

As many may have saw on Facebook, Rhett is eating solids-rice cereal. He did good for a week or so and then didn't seem too interested. Travis and I tasted it and it was NASTY!! So I've started adding some flavor to it and he's doing much better eating it now. Here daddy is feeding Rhett. :)

We've got teeth!!

Rhett has 2 teeth!! They've come in over the last week and a half. So far he's been a pretty good teether. The first tooth was the worst, but even then he was just a little fussier than usual. We tried teething gel...he hates the taste of it, but we used it anyway. Tylenol worked great for him. This is a really bad picture of his teeth, but it's the best I've been able to do this far. :) the tooth on the left has grown in more than the tooth on the right. 

Washington Trip

Rhett and I went to Washington for 2 weeks. Travis stayed in Idaho to finish up his semester and enjoy most of his spring break. Our trip was a lot of fun! Rhett did pretty good being in the car for such a long  time. On the way home we traveled at night and for both the 6 and then 7 hour drives he woke up only once to eat. I sure was tired when we got back to Rexburg. It took me a few days to recuperate. Here are some pictures from our trip...

We didn't bring Rhett's bath tub with us so he got his baths in the kitchen sink. He didn't know what to think about that! Haha! 

Grandpa took us out to lunch at Mexican! It was Rhett's first time going to a restaurant. He did really good! 

Grandma Lovena figured out that Rhett is ticklish on his back. It was pretty cute watching him squirm and giggle!

Marayd was a great help while we were home. She loved coming over and spending time with Rhett! She also got to practice using my camera. She got pretty good and taking pictures of everyone (and some random objects) in the house. :)

I love this picture! Rhett is showing Grandma Annette how strong he is! 

Travis, his sister, brother, and nephew all have a picture in these pajamas. It's a good thing we got the picture this trip because it barely fit him! 

We got to go see Auntie Beth and Cousin Jaydon. Rhett loved to watch Jaydon do silly things! 

Pictures from my phone:

Grandpa read Rhett a story! What a precious sight! :)

We tried to Skype with Travis each day or night. This particular night Rhett was extra tired. He fell asleep real quick. 

Here we are at the Primary School! We LOVED seeing our friends there, and they loved meeting Rhett! 

Another picture with Grandma Annette, Auntie Beth, and Cousin Jaydon! This is a great picture!

Mommy and Rhett. :)

It was so fun to be home and show Rhett off to all our family and friends there! Next time we make it to Washington he's going to be so much bigger! We miss you all!

Happy Easter!!

We hope everybody had a great Easter Sunday!! We did! We went to church in the morning. Then in the afternoon we went on a walk at the park with another family in our ward. The day was beautiful!! It was a great day to reflect and ponder on our Lord, Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful for Him!! I know He lives! I know He has conquered all, and because of Him we too will be resurrected. What a great gift he has given us!! I know it's a little late, but Happy Easter!!

Happy birthday Travis!

Travis turned 25 this month!!! Rhett took a really good nap on the morning of his birthday, so I was able to finish the cake. It worked out perfect! For his birthday we hung out as a family all day. We went to the golf course and bought his present - a season pass & unlimited driving range pass. Travis is so anxious to go golfing! In the evening we had the Krupa's over and ate cake and hung out. It also snowed, which did not make Travis happy at all! Haha! He wants to golf so bad!! Tomorrow will be his day to go. The golf course opened today. The weather is finally warming up and most of the snow is gone. He'll be happy to get out on the course!! Happy birthday babe!!

Rhett's blessing day

Here are pictures from Rhett's blessing day, and all the family that came for it! It was a great day and we were so grateful to have family there to share it with us!
