Happy Birthday Daddy!

 Eating out!  One candle in his cake and ice cream.  (Not too difficult to blow out compared to the 34 that should have been there!)
 Happy Birthday daddy!
Chillin' with the fam at basketball games.

Denver

 June 2012
Brandon had a Blaine Ray TPRS teaching conference in Denver, so the kids and I played while he was in sessions!

 Visiting the temple.  The kids loved it.  They asked so many questions, and watched some grounds workers trim high branches on the trees.
 Putting our hands in the wonderful water!
 Enjoying the high life...
 Wow! That is tall!
 If you ever ask Isabela about her wedding, she has it all planned out.  She is going to get married in a white dress, have a white cake, wearing a tiara, and her husband is Alexander, whom she will be marrying in the temple.  But they can't get married yet, because they have to "grow up first."  My mom asked me once if I was going to correct her and say she can' t marry her own brother.  I said, "Of course not.  He is her best friend, and I am not about to go ruining that any time soon."  They love to hug each other, and Bell says, "Xander loves me toooo much!"
 We walked to a nearby park from the temple.


 On tip-toes to get up to the hole.
 Not quite tall enough, but I LOVE this one.
Just a few more inches, and I can do this one by myself.  I can't believe how big they are getting!

Splash Park in Rifle
 He is always so good to leave on his hat and glasses.  And loves, Loves, LOVES, the water!

 






 Blowing a kiss!


Getting ready to go...
 Daddy's little girl!
 Isabela teaching me how to play the violin!  Greatest imagination!


 Tucked herself and her baby in to bed!
 The little daredevil kept jumping off this box.  It took him almost 5 minutes each time to get up and get his balance, then he would squat all the way down, and fly off it.

 She chooses her own outfits everyday now.
Thanks, Abuela and Papi, for my cutest new swimming suit!
 Swimmin' with Mom and Xander.

 Eating "cake" in the hotel room that morning with Abuela and Papi!

What we've been up to...

 My best hiding place at Beyond the Bell, our after school program:  Sitting inside folded lunch tables in the cafeteria at the elementary school.
Xander, riding to Utah with his friend, Micah!
 Hide-and-seek under Grandma's table!  Cheese! (Xander LOVES posing for pictures and saying "Eese")
 SOOOoooo tired, she literally fell asleep like this on Grandma's stairs when we got there!  Totally made my day!
 Xander's new favorite thing... being a puppy!  He fed the dog, petted the dog, laid with the dog... everyday.
 Umm.... I am not sure how this one came about.  Feeding her lambie?
 At the baseball game with Kimmy and Bill in Grand Junction.
Ready for my cracker jacks and hot dog!

Xander 1 year old

2 April 2012

Weight 10lbs 9.5oz  10-25%
Height  29 1/2 inches  50%
Head Circum 19 inches  95-97%




 His FAVORITE present by far!  If only you could see his smile! 
He loved the food Kimmy and Bill gave him.
This is seriously when he first starting really walking.  He had taken steps before, but he got this ball for his birthday, picked it up, and walked all the way across the room to put it in the basket!
Daddy's little boy!!
(Ok, so it was actually a blue ball he got started with on his birthday,
 but he kept at it with all the balls!)
 Swimming at Papi & Abuela's hotel for his birthday!





 It was funny.  They really were spinning a lot, and Xander didn't know what to think about the whirlpool effect.



  Look at that face!
