I'm catching up on the blog! So here are some more pictures that I love!

Theo is so amused. I love his smile. :)

Peter holding Theo and Oliver. Just two weeks apart, but they are two totally different babies!!!

For the first time ever, my mom and I attended Women's Conference at BYU. Here we're at the Conference Center waiting for Elder Oaks and his wife to arrive.

Theo: just chillin'

Oh, the places he'll go!

Theo's quite the traveller. He goes with Mom pretty much everywhere:

At the bus stop en route to Midvale for internship

Theo went to college with mom.

On a walk with our friends, Andrea and Oliver.

And on a picnic with Mom and Dad!

A Week in May

Two days ago my good friend, Rachel, and her husband, Josh (who was in the same district as me at the MTC back in '06) drove down from Rexburg. And they brought their almost 3 week old baby boy, John. He is so cute and so little compared to Theo! We had them over for the evening, and it was wonderful. I'm so glad they came.

This is an updated family picture of us, taken on Mother's Day.

Here's Theo riding the bus like a big kid!

And here's Theo sporting his cool BYU hat backwards (he got it from his cousins, Luke and Ezra). He's sticking out his tongue!

Spring Break with the Ashworths

Peter's family came down from Boise for their Spring Break at the end of March, and they treated us to a day of skiing. It was my first time. I was nervous about my knees and leaving Theo, but it turned out okay and I'm glad I went.

Canda, bless her heart, took care of Theo in the lodge while I took to the slopes.

This is Spencer sporting his cool hat hair.

Here's Grandma playing with her first grandbaby. She's so sweet with him.

It's harder than it looks, but I did have a lot of fun after the first run! Skiing is like glorified sledding. I think I'll do it again.

And of course all Theo's uncles adored him. Nato even showed him how to play his video game.

Look what Grandma got Theo for Easter! It's made to hook onto the car seat handle, and we do put it on when we're in the car, but for most of the time when we're at home, we hook it onto a dining room chair! (Believe it or not, it was I who figured this one out - not Peter. :P) Theo loves it!!!

On a Sunday afternoon...

STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM!

I've never made homemade jam before, and I've been meaning to... Well, Wednesday at Buy Low there was this big sale on strawberries, 8 pounds for $7! So I bought lots of strawberries as well as some jars, sugar and corn syrup and crossed my fingers. My friend, Andrea, and her baby Oliver came over to help. It must have been quite a sight - two new moms nursing their babies in one arm and cutting strawberries with the other. Yeah, it took a while. But it was worth it... because WE LOVE HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JAM! We ate almost the entire first jar last night.
