SPA Night!

Tonight I was in charge of our mother/daughter young women activity. I had so much fun preparing for it! I learned how to make lip balm, bath salts, and face masks - all with natural ingredients, of course:) We had a great turnout of mothers and daughters, and I think they enjoyed putting together the different products. I even ordered a carribean spa music CD and had it playing in the background. Trina Keck spoke to us about keeping our bodies clean. It was a fun night; can't wait to see all our girls at Spring Camp this weekend!

Baby Legs and Bunny Ears

Andy likes being able to hold his own bottle, and doesn't mind getting milk all over his face and clothes in the process.

Eating at Lucy's Pizzaria. Last time we ate there we had to give Andy a sink bath in their restroom and dry him off with paper towels, but he was a good little boy this night!

The Easter Bunny brought Andy an activity table! I tried to prop him up against it, but those chubby legs just can't hold his weight up yet. He seems to enjoy sitting by it though:)

I don't know that Lance loved his son wearing purple bunny ears on Easter, but one thing's for sure, he'd take the ears over baby legs anyday!

Sweet potatoes for breakfast - yum!

He didn't know what to think of all these new toys!

...so he went for the grass first, of course.

Andy really wanted to eat the grass, but didn't like the feel of it on his face, so he was frustrated and started waving his hands up and down really fast trying to get it off.

Mom and Dad were good this year--Easter bunny brought us a refurbished TomTom!

I am in love with Andyman's baby legs! Especially how they're being held up by fat rolls!!

The annual Menan Easter Egg Hunt was cancelled because of a snowstorm with 50-60 mph wind gusts (laugh it up Lacey), so it's a good thing Grandpa and Grandma Sheppard had a hunt of their own on Easter! But don't worry, I heard a rumor that Menan is rescheduling that hunt for sometime in MAY! (How do you reschedule an easter egg hunt??)

Andy had no clue there was anything inside of his newfound toys, but Mama knew!

This child is very good with his hands. He could pick up the big eggs one-handed!

Don't be deceived by my sandals. It's freezing here; we woke up to 4 inches of snow this morning. I'm in denial.

Andy couldn't stop looking at those eggs long enough to smile for the picture! But hey, I'm just glad Lance is smiling AND looking in the right direction:)

Pretty sure he was posing here.

Brad's body building competition..

Kind of awkward to see your little brother in a speedo, but I'm proud of him for being so dedicated. Out of 240 contestants he made 6th place! Congratulations, little buddy:)

Happy 6th Birthday, Leah!

Leah had the cutest ladybug party! Here she's holding the gifts Andy brought her.

Alyse Marie

Alyse's new favorite toy is a plastic owl yard decoration; she packs it around everywhere!

She's really proud of her owl. Dana says she even sleeps with it:)

Like Father, like Son

SLC March 14-19

Visiting Temple Square

Andy was very interested in all the colorful flowers

...so we HAD to let him pick just one!

Strait to the mouth, of course:)

He would've jumped right in had we let him!

Lance still does not get that when someone's taking our picture he needs to smile the WHOLE TIME; which is why we always have to take so many pictures of the same shot!

It was in the 60's part of the week so we went to Fore Lakes for a bucket of balls. Andy's first time holding a club!

Salt Lake's snow-covered mountains sure beat Idaho's sagebrush.

Trying to smile and be happy, even though he wasn't feeling well:(

Watch out brothers, it is on!

Lance really loves the driving range

It's not easy being in a hotel with a rolling child for a week! Especially since Andy was sick the whole time, and frustrated because he only had the bed to roll around on. When we got back to our house he seemed very happy to have room to play!

Andy and Daddy snoozing in the hotel bed

On our last day in Salt Lake Andy and I visited Utah's Olympic Oval while we waited for Lance's class to get out! Unfortunately Apollo Ohno wasn't practicing while we toured the facility, but they said he had been there a few times that week.

Andy was obviously thrilled to be there..

I was excited to pull into the yard one day to see the guys working on the poles, so I took a few pictures. Turns out none of them were Lance, he had already done his job and was on the ground holding the rope line.

Group photo with the guys! This old, old house is where their school is.

Baby Food

Does Andyman like squash?

Nope.

Sweet Potatoes?

Yum!!
