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!

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!!

Buddy's 21st Birthday

This trip was Brad's first time meeting Andy

We thought we'd surprise Brad by wrapping up his GPS he had let us borrow!

In light of his upcoming body building competition, (and the costume he's wearing for it) little Rachael wrapped up a pair of doll undies for Brad's birthday

Can't believe my little brother is 21

Yes, we are getting much too old (and big) for this...

Lincoln City Beach

In the car again, driving to the beach after the wedding

All in all we spent over 40 hours in the car. Andy cried ONE time, for under 5 minutes, which we later realized was because of a dirty bum. He is a miracle child!

Sleeping by the fire in our hotel

Lance and Andyman out on our balcony

He loves poking and grabbing at faces

Wish that was our Katie in the background; whenever we're at a beach we always talk about how much fun Kate would have there. At least she doesn't know what she's missing. And we're so thankful for Richard and June for always willing to dog-sit while we're away:)

First time in the ocean! (Hopefully first of many!!)

A typical Oregon Coast day - overcast and windy

Andy was enthralled with all the seagulls flying overhead

Rover's done great; 2300 miles tacked onto her from this trip
