More Spring

Chris said to me yesterday that Alex was getting too big. I would have to agree. We have a hard time believing that he is going to be 2 pretty soon. He is quite independent except for the sleeping. We have never had a good sleeper on our hands. I haven't helped matters but Alex just doesn't sleep good.
Alex is in love with being outside. He could be naked and want to go outside. This crazy Utah weather hasn't given him enough outside time as far as he is concerned. Last week Chris finished out swingset we purchased. Alex loves it. Most of it he can play on but the monkey bars make us a little nervous. I'm sure we'll have a few falls but he will learn eventually. He is definately fearless. But we have been lucky so far no super bad falls.
Alex is trying to potty train. I am not completely ready for him to potty train but he is ready to be naked all the time. He enjoys sitting on the toilet but most people don't have the entire day to play on the toilet. So probably by the summer we will be potty trained.
I am extremely ready for the weather to warm up and stay warm. I have enjoyed planting flowers and I am going to plant some tomatoes when the weather cooperates. In June Alex and I are talking swimming classes. We will see how that goes. I think he will love it but ya never know. Sorry no pictures I will have to post pictures of the swingset next time.

Spring

Well even though the weather hasn't been so wonderful we have tried to take advantage of the weather when it is nice. Alex loves to be outside and so we have played as much as we could. Chris and I have been trying to get the backyard in good shape since the dog has pretty much destroyed a lot of it. She gets bored while I am at work or while we are gone. She digs lots and we are at a loss as what to do with her. We are trying to fix all her holes and fix the flower beds she has dug in. That has been keeping us busy.

Chris' next project is a swingset we bought for Alex this weekend. We got it at Toys R Us on sale. We'll see how long it actually takes to put it together. It says 8-10 hours. I'm sure Alex will love it when it is ready for him.

Last Tuesday on April 27th my parents and I were able to attend my neice's adoption hearing. What a blessing to have her adopted in our family. My uncle and aunt adopted her and will now be able to truly call her theirs. She has been living with them for the majority of her little life and they are her parents. I can't wait for the day when they will be able to be sealed to her. It reminds me of when I was sealed to my parents. Even though she will be younger I am sure she will feel how special the time is. Also on Tuesday my friends and their kids were able to attend the Tulip Festival. That was super fun but...lots of walking. Its always the uphill that kills ya not the downhill. But none the less it was enjoyed by all.

Well here are a few pictures for the past month or so.
