April snow brings May flowers

On Saturday this is what greeted us....SnOw!! Thankfully it'll warm up fast and melt it all quickly!
Jeter is starting to show his personality more everyday. He makes new faces like the once below. And can make lots of new noises. He says Ma and Da But doesn't know what he's saying so for now it's just fun to hear him practicing new noises. I love when he just says the same sound over and over, so funny!
Happy Jeter!

I have been going to a park nearby and it's fun just to get outside and get some sun on our faces!


Jeter at the Park!


Just trying out the sink...


And just smiling for the camera!


SO! This Sunday was little Logan's blessing in Kingman. We wake up bright and early get all ready and out the door, only four minutes behind schedule. Well 50 minutes outside of Flagstaff is the town of Winslow. As we enter this lovely town a big sign says "road closed 7 miles ahead, expect delays". Not good. The blessing is at 11:00am and we still have a good hour and a half to go! Well we come to a complete stop at 9:05 AM behind a semi. And we wait, and wait,...and wait. This was our view for SIX HOURS!!!!!



But that doesn't stop Kam, Jeter and I from having a fun day! We took pictures and ate a tasty lunch, used the internet on Kam's phone and had some good quality time together which doesn't happen much these days because of work and school. And Jeter was so good the whole time!


Daddy and Jeter getting some fresh air. It actually was a good experience because we were able to look at all the positives of the situation. Like the good weather, imagine if we got snowed in or something!


Our yummy lunch consisted of brownies, cheezits, and a yummy pasta salad I had made for the blessing.


Buuuut since we wern't prepared to eat in our car I got to eat with a serving spoon!


And Jeter munched on his bottle.


We finally got to squeeze onto the shoulder at about 3ish PM and drive don the on ramp. What really urged us to make that decision was the car beside us opening up the lane and we needed to use the bathroom :) It's funny how a situation like this could be soo miserable but the time really did go by fast and it was fun spending time together (don't know if being stuck in the car had anything to do with that haha) and just keeping a good outlook on the whole deal. When we got home we found out that the roads wouldn't be open until 10:30 PM !!!!!! yikes. There were several other accidents on our way back into town, just not a day to be on the road I guess!


**Shout-out to Nick in Hawaii for graduating this past weekend! Good Job and we can't wait to see you back in AZ!

Sports Fans!

We recently went down to Mesa for Dayton's baptism! Dayton is the youngest of my oldest sister Janel's kids. I can't believe how old these kids get! It's crazy to remember them as babies and see them now growing up into teenagers. We have lots of fun at Janel's and spending time with family! This is Dayton with Mark and Janel. My dad recently had to buy a new truck because his Ford was a lemon. He bought a monster truck, GMC Sierra. It's prrretty sweet. Wouldn't it be nice if this was us taking a picture next to our new truck....yeah some day :) We all went to Red Robin...Yum! I seriously inhaled my burger, it was not a weekend for weight loss. I was at the kid end of the table, so here are a few snapshots: Dayton Above and Ava Below And Wyatt. We gave them quarters for the little game things, man those kids go crazy for quarters! We had some fun the other night playing dress up with Jeter-Boy style! Our little D-Backs Fan! I am excited for Baseball season because it gets me in the mood for spring. Or just feeds my spring fever!

We were trying on these green pants and accidentally got two legs in one! I would like to see Killian pull that off....


Last but not least our New York Yankees Fan! and his name sake!

(Don't my eyelashes look great!)



Everyone enjoy conference this weekend! One of my most favorite times of the year!!!

Lots of fun!

Jeter has turned four months (Five in a few days!) But this means we get to eat rice cereal! Jeter is getting used to it and I am getting the hang of feeding him. I feel like he has to learn and I have to learn along with him. But we make it happen and it adds some excitement to our life!
Jeter at his first try at cereal:

Next came Melanie and Henry's Wedding! Sadly this is the best picture I got!
K & K Photography: Melanie & Henry. Emily did her makeup/hair/eyelashes and that is a recipe for one beautiful bride! I got to be a bridesmaid so hopefully I can snatch some cute pictures from the reception.

Jeter is getting more into toys and we have fun playing in his entertainer!

This past weekend Kameron and his brother Cade went to lake Pleasant for a little guys lake trip. SO I volunteered to watch the babies while Caryn went to work for the day. It was really easy actually. Both babes took Looong naps but the problem was I got kinda bored. It was fun playing with them though!

We started the day with toys!

Conner!!!

The three of us just hanging out.

Once we were all dressed for the day we....played with some more toys!

Jeter!!!!
Kameron's Fish
The guys both caught a fish or two and got some sun. Back at home we all bundled up in our hoodies and I couldn't help but take a picture!


So Natalie had her baby! Logan Jacob Robles! But we haven't had the chance to see him yet, hopefully soon! We are still waiting to hear about internships and whatnot, that needs to be solved because we have to renew our lease the end of April. We just have to have faith if something is supposed to work out, it will.

The Japan earthquake/tsunami thing is Really sad! I cannot imagine that kind of devestation. I read a story of a lady that was running with her little girl and lost her in the confusion and hasnt found her yet. Can you imagine? I can't. I pray they recieve the reliefe they need physically and emotionally. It's hard to understand how Heavenly Father could let something this horrible happen, but He is the only one that can get them through this.
It makes me think about the things I have and all the people I love. I am so grateful for all these wonderful things in my life.

This past week I went to Thatcher. I got to meet the new dogs, Track and Macey and just enjoy being home. before I left we got these cute pictures of Jeter...

He loves being upside down (if you look at this picture upside down it looks like he's cheering)
We went down to Mesa to go to the temple. It was a special visit because my friend Melanie went through for the first time because she's getting married March 4th! I'm so happy for her! And also Kameron did my grandpa Fenstermaker's endowments. It was such a good feeling and I am so glad the work could be done for him.
After the temple my mom and I, and Jeter of course, headed to Thatcher. I have lots of pictures of Jeter and Killian! They're just sooo cute! We pretty much just hung out, got our eyelashes and hair done. The bad part was on Sunday we went to church and Killian got sick and it spread to Jeter. Poor thing had a fever. And since I got the sickness a few days later the poor kid most likely had the aches, sore throat and a stuffy/runny nose. Sick babies are no fun. We are both still recovering. But anyways! Here are some fun pictures I took in Thatcher:

So when I got in the car I look over and both babies are just staring at me it was SO funny!



I made these yummy orange cookies (Thanks Kira for the Recipie!) I think the best part was the frosting! And they are "healthy"


cute little Killian!

While the babes were playing on the floor Killian's active legs smacked Jeter in the face. Poor little guy but it was funny!

my mom, the baby "whisperer" --notice Jeter's glazed look. So sick!


Macey and Track--the black one is Emily's and the Yellow one is my mom's




The pickle. Yummmmy....

This picture is once we got home Jeter had the biggest snot bubble, the picture doesn't do it justice


We also got a New Bouncer!


Love this boy in hats! (Just like his Daddy!)




We had fun, but it's good to be home. I think the best part was the drive to Flagstaff with my mom! We now are just surviving the snow storms, ew. No word on any internships, but it may be too soon. We also gave Jeter his first taste of Rice cereal. Not a good idea to try it when he is kinda tired and already hungry but it did help him sleep more peacefully that night! I can't believe our baby is already four months!

Natalie's baby shower!

Thanks for all the sleeping advice, it seems there are good nights and bad nights. And sometimes we just like to take naps...too cute!!

Im finding out Jeter likes to play with toys when he wakes up. He loves this little squeaky money and he's starting to hold things, even his bottle! yay!

This past weekend we went to Cottonwood for Natalie's baby shower, we had so much fun and she got lots of cute stuff!

Caryn made this adorable diaper baby and I brought a diaper cake, hence the diaper theme.

Jeter and Conner

Natalie happily opening her gifts

Conner, Jeter and Nat's nephew on Jacob's side. He's the same age as Jeter. Lots of Babies!
And Im crazy because I'm jealous! Work has been super busy!! And I'm in the process of starting to work for a company called 5star billing it's from home. That'll start like the end of March. Kameron is still waiting to hear back from interniships, just wait wait wait! School is going well for him just always busy! It seems like we are always busy these days! Oh and Kam's cousin had his baby this week! Another boy! congrats Randy and Chelsea!
