Easter Celebrations!

We had such a great Easter this year! It was great to hear all the wonderful talks during General Conference (I wish it was always on Easter) and great to be surrounded by family. We were a little surprised in the middle of the day by the earthquake, but luckily, it wasn't a big deal and we just continued with our Easter festivities. Here are some pictures from our fun day:

Graham woke up early and after a good breakfast, we sent him on his way to search for his Easter basket. We had to coax him a little bit, but he finally found it!

Grandpa is showing Graham all his fun goodies.

Bubbles!

Grandma and Grandpa got him a fun Easter Little People car toy that came with a DVD that Graham has been watching non-stop. It's the first video that he actually sits and watches...I'm not sure if that is a good thing. :)

Daddy reading Graham one of his new books, Goodnight Moon in Spanish. He already has the english version but it is all packed away so we thought it would be fun to get him this is Spanish since it is his FAVORITE book! One if his first words was "moon" because of this book! Now we have to teach him to say "luna"! :)

We went over to my aunt's house and had a delicious brunch. Then my cousin Sarah put together this great Easter egg hunt that Graham got to participate in. It was so fun!

Graham found his first egg!

We came home, Graham had a nap (slept through the earthquake), and when he woke up, we dyed Easter eggs. He was a big help!

Our finished eggs! Graham enjoyed sticking them in the dye.

Then, Travis set up an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. This was my favorite part of the day! Graham was so cute going around picking up eggs and putting them in his basket. He loved every second!

Looking to see if he could find some eggs behind the planter.

He found one!

Putting another one in his basket, look how full it is!

This is his, "I found them all!" look. :)

He went up into the jungle gym and kept looking out and saying "cheese". I couldn't resist taking some pictures. He looks pained in this picture, but he was really saying "cheese"!

Another "cheesy" picture.

I did manage to get a family picture. I think it turned out pretty cute. Graham would not let go of the basketball.

Graham's Great Grandma got his this adorable lamb that he carried around all day. I tried to get a cute picture of him sitting and holding it, but he was too distracted by the dogs. This was as close as I could get.

Graham has started to love the dogs and doesn't mind being out in the backyard with them. They are usually good with him, but they occasionally knock him over. He still loves them though!

The queen of the backyard, Dakota, on her throne. We have to be careful when Graham is in the jungle gym because she will run up the slide to be in there with him. I get so nervous that he is going to get knocked out one of these days.

What a great Easter! We loved every second of it!

Yep, We're Still Here

I know, it appears that we have fallen off the face of the earth and it certainly feels like that. Things in our life have been super busy these last few months, I went back to work and we moved into my parents house to save some money. We have spent the last three months working to get adjusted to the new schedule and I think that things are finally starting to feel back to normal...at least, for now.

Since I am back at work, Graham has been spending his days with his Grandma. I am so lucky that I have her to help me out these few months. I am so glad that he is able to be cared for by someone who loves him as much as I do. We are so blessed to have her here. This also means that Graham gets to have tons of fun! These are a bunch of random pictures of Graham and all the fun he has been having over the last couple months:

His cousins Payton and Owen came to visit and of course, they got to visit Disneyland. Here are the three of them together.

Payton and Graham are playing together.

Owen, Graham, and Payton posing with Minnie. Those character meals are definitely worth the price, it is so nice to have the characters come to you instead of waiting in line!

Payton and Graham pose with Tiger.

Graham had his first dentist appointment! He screamed and cried and the doctor barely got to take a look, but it is over now and we just have to go back in six months. Weird thing though, Graham is missing one of his bottom front teeth, not the two in the middle, but the one on the right of the two. It still hasn't grown in so when we go back, if it hasn't grown in, we will have to do an X-Ray. That would probably be weird if Graham ended up not having a tooth!

These pictures are a little bit out of order, but we got a lot of rain in the beginning of February and Graham discovered that he loves to play in the rain. He got completely soaked so Travis had to strip him down to dry him off. Love the look on Graham's face!

The before picture...all soaked!

Graham can now look at the camera and say "cheese". I love it!

Uncle Tyler came for a visit and Graham loved hanging out with him!

Having fun!

Getting tickled by Uncle Tyler.

I love this picture! Graham insisted on sitting between the two apples. Look at that grin on his face! So cute!

Here is my happy boy!

Since Graham is home with my mom during the day, he gets to be a part of preschool. He thinks he is so big now! He had a great time this day playing trucks with all the boys.

Driving his truck around with boys.

Just one of the boys... :)
