The Leavitt's

April...I've got no titles.

Okay, I don't know how they do it, but these two keep on going and going. Tanner's grandma Leavitt just turned 93 on April 10th. She is the cutest little (and I mean little) lady ever and she just makes her whole family feel so special and loved. Her birthday wish was for her family to attend a temple session together, so that's what we did! There was a dinner at the Leavitt church afterwards and gave the sweetest speech saying how she didn't mind getting old if she has a family like hers. Finally, we got a picture with her and grandpa.

Some of the moments we catch on camera with Watson around.

What a HAM!

We had a little Easter get together a couple weekends ago. My parents brought my nephews Draven and Jaxon in to go swimming and the boys had a blast. We even got Jaxon to come into the "big" pool (he was a little hesitant). In between swimming and bowling my mom set up an easter egg hunt in our backyard for the boys and they had a really good time.

Here's a few shots of their finds!

Two cute little bunnies.

A Short Trip to the Sun

2009-04-02T08:58:00.000-07:00

Tanner and I took a little 4-day trip to Arizona

to visit our friends Darren and Alisha.

On our last day we rented a couple jet skis and spent

the afternoon on lake Saguaro...we even got a tan!

Little Finley came along for the trip. I think it was

the first time she had actually been in the sun.

Our lovely hosts took us to a spring training baseball game;

San Fransisco Giants vs. Seattle Mariners

Just before the game we enjoyed a little picnic lunch

and stopped for a family photo.

Watty's 1st sledding adventure

2009-03-06T17:39:00.000-08:00

We took Watty sledding last saturday and he had a blast! He waited all day for daddy to come home from work to take him sledding. I remember we tried to pull him around the yard on a toboggan last year and he did not approve, but things sure have changed. Although there was a chilly breeze it didn't stop us from having a good time! I love having kids because I get to have fun all over again!

Family picture, minus Finley.

She did get to come out for a little while!

Of course we had to take some friends along!

Chelsea and the boys!

Just a Few Photos

2009-03-06T17:15:00.000-08:00

We went to Calgary last weekend to watch some of Avery's basketball games and stayed with Tanner's aunt Jenny, who is just the most kind and welcoming person. On friday night Tanner treated us to his yummy shrimp feast and, as you can see, he was having a little too much fun!

This is the MASSIVE chocolate bar I got for Valentines. Before we opened it, Tanner and I were joking about how funny it would be if it was one whole bar (we were thinking it was 6 smaller ones). We sure cracked up when we realized it really was one huge chocolate bar...and we just had to take a picture!

Finley is sure turning into a chunk; a very cute chunk!

Watty really loves his little sister. They watched a movie together

Okay, I have to post another one today because I have been meaning to get this one up. I was creeping on Skye Johansen's blog a couple weeks ago and she decided to start something called Project 52. As mom's we are behind the camera 99% of the time and I know that when I look back on pictures I am never there. I want to have pictures of my children with their mommy, so Skye has inspired me to begin my own Project 52. Every week I am going to try to take just one picture of myself with one or both of my kids and by the end of the year I will have 52 photos. So here is Project 1/52.

Lately we've been learning that Watson has a huge disgust with boogers and spit-up. The other morning we were all lounging in our bed and Finley spit-up. As soon as Watson saw it he started to gag, pointing at Finley. Tanner and I laughed so hard because he was obviously grossed out! Then on monday I put Watty in a timeout because he hit Finley while I was feeding her. As I sat there in the nursery I could hear Watson crying and I could tell that he had a runny nose. He immediately started shouting, "boogers, eww; boogers, eww" over and over. I was laughing to myself because I knew he was so disgusted (mean I know). Eventually I told him he was done his timeout and to bring the kleenex. He came into the room with snot dripping down his face, begging me to take care of it. It is gross, but it was hilarious! I am really glad he hates boogers because I hate when kids pick their nose and eat it! Seriously, how can you not love this guy!

I am finally going to post some pictures that my good friend Chelsea Bretzke took of Finley when she was about 6 weeks. I think they turned out really cute!I am finally going to post some pictures that my good friend Chelsea Bretzke took of Finley when she was about 6 weeks. I think they turned out really cute!

I am finally feeling too guilty about not keeping a blog so I will try to keep it updated from here on out. My last entry was a week after Watson was born and he is now almost two and Finley is 2 1/2 months! Wow, time does fly.

So I have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, and a cute house (which I am glad is one the smaller side because I can barely keep it clean!). I stay home full time with my kids and Tanner is currently taking Management at the university and working as a trainer for APX here in Lethbridge. We have decided that it is going to be another APX summer, which Tanner said was not going to happen, but we got the Lethbridge office so there will be no tiedious moving or exhausting drive. We will miss the travelling and sightseeing in an interesting city, but we are excited to be able to have some what of a normal summer with family. I am especially happy because I will have a vehicle to drive and I won't have to feel like a single mother and I can take advantage of having grandma and nana so close!

Here are just a few photos to bring me up to speed.

This is little Finley and Watson ready for Cambric and Davis' wedding!

Their darling outfits were of course made by their Nana (Marina).

Watty and Finley ready for bed!
