Fun times with Grandma Suzie

Grandma Suzie was in town in early April. She got to have fun with Jordan while she was here. It was so great to have her visit on her way down to New Mexico to see Grandma Sharon.

Here is Jordan at the park loving the swing.

Jordan hanging out on the grass. Spring is slowly coming back to Provo... and I mean really slow... it snowed this morning. Eventually Jordan will be able to enjoy warmer weather and greener outdoors.

Michelle's Bridal Shower

One of my best friends growing up is engaged! Michelle Lizon soon to be Michelle Nielson will be sealed in the Logan Temple this coming May 6th. I am so happy for her. Here are photos of her Bridal Shower.

Preston and Jordan having fun with balloons.

Jordan really thought the balloons were simply amazing.

Michelle and here sister Raechel. She did most of the work for the shower. She's such a great sister.

Michelle's friends all crammed into our living room. She's got a lot of friends that love and support here... no surprise there.

Congratulations Michelle!!! The special day is approaching fast.

Jordan and Friends

Here is Jordan hanging out with his buddy Tyler. Michelle and Ryan Williams stopped by while they were in town. It was so fun to see them and to compare how the boys have grown in the past months. They are only a week or so apart in age.

Now the boys are at least old enough to know that they are in the same room with each other.

Here is Isaac and Jordan. I got to babysit Isaac one day. Jordan had fun looking at another baby.

Hanging out on the bed... Jordan and Isaac spending some time relaxing.

I love Spring!

I love Spring! In celebration of the first day of spring being last Sunday I wanted to post these pictures of the beauties of this earth. To start off, what is spring without Rhody bushes.... a Washington favorite.

Anyone from Bremerton will recognize the view of the mountains called "The Brothers." Growing up I thought it was fun when my brothers hiked "The Brothers" for scouting trips. The water below the mountains is the great Puget Sound. I love kayaking the Sound in the spring and summer time.

This flower is a poppy. You can often see these wild flowers around. They are small but are bright and vibrant in color. The following flower pictures were taken by the Webb family botanist, Ron (my bro).

Lilac bushes are so pretty. They also give off a wonderful sweet smell. For all of those with pollen allergies... my apologies. But I think spring smells awesome!

Don't forget about the wonderful fruit that's coming. These are kiwi's... did you know that kiwi's can grow in Washington? It's true! And they are delicious!

Here are some grapes. I think my favorite fruit or berry actually are raspberries. But I didn't have a picture of any. When I was younger we had a big raspberry patch. I think I eat more berries than I ever actually got into the bowl. Yummm....

Wherever you are I hope that you enjoy this spring with all of it's colors, smells, and beauty.

Special Things

Here is Jordan at 6 months with a baby blanket that Grandma Suzie (my Mom) made for him. It is so special to have something made just for you and even more special when it's from your grandma. I feel lucky that I got to choose the yarn for the blanket. It's perfect Mom... thanks for the precious gift!

Jordan looks comfy in his baby blue baby blanket.

(Now try to say that three times fast.)

Bedtime...

Just kidding... play time.

Here is Jordan wearing a blue sweater made by my Great-Grandmother Henderson. You gotta have documentation that they wore it at least once right? Jordan thinks it's yummy.

What a cute little boy! I think it's really special to have some things from my Great-Grandmother. It is neat to think she made this with her own hands and now generations later, her great-great-grandchild is wearing it. (That took some thought to figure out.. I won't lie.)

This brown sweater was also made by my Great-Grandmother Henderson. Mom said that she has a picture of Ben (my bro) wearing it when he was little. Jordan is also sitting on a white blanket made by Great-Grandmother Henderson. It was the blanket he was blessed with for his baby blessing.

Jordan's shirt says, "Charmer" on it and I have to agree. He has his parents hearts wrapped fully around his little finger. We love our little charmer!

Jordan experiencing food

Turns out Jordan doesn't think rice cereal is all that amazing. What a look of concern. It has been really fun to give Jordan some semi solids and see what he thinks of them.

So far he is a fan of the orange vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. But he isn't too impressed with the green vegetables like peas and green beans. In this picture Jordan's acting like those carrots are pretty tasty.

Jordan's thinking, "I'm taking the spoon Dad. I've got this eating thing down."

Preston and Jordan enjoying some food exploration together. We tried pairs the other day and he acted like it was candy! We have fun times with Jordan seeing him experience new things with those little taste buds of his.

Cougar Times

This is what Jordan's t-shirt says... and yes, he is "one cute cougar."

Here are some fun times we've had at BYU with Jordan.

Jordan's first basketball game didn't go so well. The Marriott Center was too noisy for him... as you can tell by his facial expression. He was probably thinking "all these people are crazy."

Ahhhh... football season. Go Cougs!!!

Jordan's first BYU football game. He did pretty good at this game, but definitely got over stimulated. Oh well, gotta start'em young on the right path in life... right?

Jordan taking it all in.

A view of the football field. Fun times.

Jordan currently still thinks it is football season as he is sporting a helmet. Just kidding... this helmet is to help fix the flat spot on the back of his head. We've had people ask if he's getting ready for extreme sports. Who knows? For now he's just our little cute cougar.
