May 16, 2009 - After our family water fight (which Aniston LOVED) we decided to head up to the mountains. We wanted to go up to Donut Falls, but there was too much snow. Instead, we stopped by Moss Ledge/Falls (I don't know what it is called) to become one with nature. The girls LOVED being "in the mountains" so much that Tylar threw quite the fit when it was time to go.

May 10, 2009 - Look at these cute girls playing in the box...again

May 8/9, 2009 - A visit to Logan AND she's walking!

We had a quick trip up to Logan to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson. Of course, we had to go sample some aggie ice cream.

Yumm!

Grandma Lois has perfect sized chairs for our little ones. Tylar loved being a "big girl" as she got on and sat all by herself. Although Tylar has been taking steps for awhile now and has been cruising along all the furniture, I would say that she "officially" started walking when we got up to Logan. I guess "official" to me is more than 7 or 8 steps. As soon as we got to Grandma's, she simply took off.

April 30, 2009 - Aniston loves to try new tricks with Brownie. Whenever we are playing upstairs, inevitably I will hear, "Mommy, look at me...look at what I can do." More often than not she is trying something that makes mommy more than a little nervous. In this picture, however, she is perfectly safe!

April 25/30, 2009 - Look at that messy Tylar!

Tylar is turning into a pretty good eater...as long as she gets to do it herself!

April 24, 2009 - Aniston and Grandpa Craig, "Best Buds!"

While exploring in the backyard, Aniston and Grandpa Craig found a worm...awesome!

April 23, 2009 - Tulip Festival

This was our third or fourth annual visit to the tulip festival with grandma Eileen. The flowers were in full bloom and the weather was perfect!

This is my favorite "Tylar scrunch face."Grandma Eileen and Aniston played "chase" on the giant hill.

Me and Tylar hung out while grandma chased Aniston down.

Our little Tylar is growing up...sniff

Grandma LOVES being with her grandbabies!!

Although this isn't the most flattering picture of Tylar, it is a great view of her GIANT front teeth. In fact, when I took her into her 12 month appointment the doctor was shocked to see her teeth. As she looked in Tylar's mouth she said, "Wow! I wasn't expecting to see those! They really are big!"

April 22, 2009 - We had a fun day at the zoo with Gabe and Faith. Right after this picture was taken we headed towards the giraffe's. For those who don't know the lay out of Hogle Zoo, there is quite a steep hill in between the African Cats and the Giraffes. Aniston thought she could run as fast as a cheetah! Needless to say, Aniston was zooming down the hill...almost faster than her legs could handle. As I turned around to see the smoke coming from her shoes I started to yell, "Walkwalkwalkwalkwalkwalk!" Immediately the expression on her face went from excitement to terror as she realized that she had two more seconds before she would become one with the ground. Without even thinking, I let go of the stroller to turn around and catch her before she lost all of her teeth from the impact. I caught her in time and, very fortunately, my dear neighbor Nanette caught Tylar in the stroller. Phew! Thank heavens we prayed for safety at the zoo!

April 17, 2009 - "Look mommy, I decorated the potty!"

Tylar and her crazy hair!

Tylar can sign and say "cheese." It sounds more like "sheese."
