Bear World!

We have had such a fun week, I am in love with this nice weather, and even more in love with a baby happy because of the weather. The best part of this week was our trip to Bear World!!!! I know it is cheesy, but it is my absolute favorite place to go, we go on the big opening day and get community cards. With cards you can get in for less than going to a movie. My parents came with us this time YEAH! It was so fun, I was so nervous that Mak would have a mental break down, or puke on the bears, but he was so happy. He was just excited to be out in the warm weather looking at new things.

I do not know why, but birds always want to attack my son. At the petting zoo all the chickens ran from everyone except my kid.

Things just get busier all the time, I love being mobile. Everyone always asks me if I am sad that Makray is growing up and not a tincie baby any more. Yes, I am, but in truth, I love him more everyday. I love to watch him learning new things, I love that he giggles so hard it until he cries, I love that he is determined to figure out how to move, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that he sleeps through the night! So I miss my newborn, but I love my messy face baby, except he does puke horribly....does anyone have any suggestions. (probably not since I have tried everything)

I really wanted one of these slings before I had Makray, I thought it would be the handiest thing, then I had this nutty child who HATED being carried like a new born and always had to be up looking around. But now that he sits up really well he enjoys being carried in it, this way he can watch what I am cooking and hope that it is for him.

Makray eats anything and everything, this is carrots. He isn't crazy about them, he prefers pears or apple sauce, but he downs everything, even green beans which I personally hate!

Makray hates being bothered while he is eating, when David started tickling him, Makray gave him the finger. HEHE

Spring is Here

Like everyone, I'm sure, we are loving this warm weather. It was so depressing to sit in the apartment and watch the snow pile up. Makray loves being outside, he cries when we come back in. I love being able to sit outside and show him new things. He loves the sun so much that he is willing to face the wind and hold his breath. We recently got a new jogger, with all the bells and whistles, and there is nothing better than going on a jog to the park or walking to the temple. Behind our house we have a duck pond, there are hundreds of ducks there just waiting for people to feed them. At first I was pretty scared of the ducks, they kind of just swarm around you, and sometimes get mixed up between bread and my toes. Just as I was getting used to the ducks, Makray and I met the geese. We were in the park happily feeding the ducks when out of no where three geese pop up! They were HUGE, and worse than huge they were mean. They started biting the ducks and pulling out there feathers. Makray immediately started whining and his eyes were huge, I was being the brave mother, telling him "it's ok," when I really wanted to take off running and leave Makray and the stroller to the geese. They came right up to us and were biting at the bag of bread, finally I couldn't take any more so I threw the bag as far as I could and we took of running with the geese chasing us all the way.This is where I began to get a little uneasy!

These are just some random pictures of Makray with his onsie on his head, they make me laugh so I thought I would post them. He is so big and is so much fun I just love him to pieces.

Something to Brighten Your Day

Leaving Rexburg!

It has been so long since I have updated our blog, probably because we never do anything interesting! The latest and greatest news is David got accepted to Pharmacy school at ISU. We are so excited, things could not have worked out better. We are sad to be leaving Rexburg in July, but really excited to see what Pocatelo has to offer. We have spent the break between semesters shopping for houses. It is so scary to think that soon we will have the pressure of owning our house. I like our tiny little apartment and staying debt free, but I guess we have to grow up. Makray is getting so big! He had his four month checkup yesterday and shots (boooo). He his such a fun little boy. I live for the moments of unstoppable giggles and messy food faces. He has become pretty dramatic, he mostly has happy highs, but he has an amazing temper. Turns out he does have some of me in him. He gets furious if he is removed from the bath to soon, if we don't offer him some of whatever we are eating, or if he has the wrong toy. But fortunately there are more big smiles than whines of protest.

The Many Moods of my Baby

Anger

"Is that ice-cream you are eating...and where is mine?"

Extreme Happiness

"That ice cream was the best!"

Annoyed

"I am wearing this stupid hat and you are eating ice-cream!"

Sad

"Please, please can I have some of your ice-cream?"

Conference Weekend

We went to Island Park for conference weekend. We were excited for the break, we expected a little bit of snow, of course, but when we got there we quickly learned that spring was more behind there than in Rexburg.




We spent our time indoors playing games and eating licorice.

For Easter my family came to visit! It was a lot of fun. My parents came as well as my brother Preston and his new fiancee. (Whom we like a lot, and pray that she can put up with Preston for a very long time.) It makes me laugh to think my parents are grandparents. Here is Grandpa Clyde, I told him to feed the baby, next thing I know they are both snoring!
