Life Loves Leah

a wedding and trip home

Oh how I love Boise. Or Eagle I should say.  I fully enjoy living in Utah, but oh how I miss Boise.  I love  my parents house in Eagle.  It is so homey and cozy. 

This trip was quick- but packed! One of my best friends from High School got married to a wonderful guy.  She was one of those girls that everyone just KNEW would find the perfect guy for her. 

Well, she found him and it brought tears to my eyes to see her happiness. 

They are a darling couple. 

Since Chase had a work meeting that he couldn't miss, Leah and Jonny graciously offered to drive Beck and me.  It was so much fun catching up and seeing how much Leah and Jonny love each other. 

They held hands THE entire five hour drive, both directions.  I was impressed.  They also said they didn't mind hearing the "Baby, Baby, baby signing time" song over and over again from the back seat. 

I don't believe them. 

The Grandkids LOVE to go to Mimi and Papa's house. They are such hands on  grandparents and have the coolest toys!!  Beck and Ryenn loved the mini 4 wheeler.  They could even ride it themselves!

This weekend, Papa was busy making a cradle for Tiffini's baby.  I helped him for a little bit and man, it is no easy task to make it just right.  What a loving gift! 

It is always so wonderful spending time with Mom and Dad.  I miss them!

live in action

Our little Beck has been so much fun lately. He seems to be extra happy now that he has the freedom to walk around. He is quick to laugh-especially when he is tired. The last video is one of his favorite activities. I must admit. I stole this laugh-inducing technique from my Dad and Bro-in-law Garrett.

Every now and then when we are driving in the car or while I'm cleaning the kitchen and he is in his high chair, he will start blowing kisses (smacking his lips) with a huge grin until I look at him. He'll do it a few times and then go about his business, almost to say, "Just want you to know I love you Mom!" It makes my day every time. (first video)

I think he understands I lot more than I give him credit for. The other day he found a binky on the table and plopped it in his mouth. He only has them at nap time so I saw him from across the room and said "Beck, can momma please have your binky?" He immediately crawled right over to me, pulled his binky out of his mouth and put it in my outstretched hand. Genius I tell you! haha just kidding-but I was impressed. I've tested it out a few times since then and he usually knows what I am asking.

Lastly, here is a video of the little guy in action. 

This was one of the first days that his walking really took off. 

Spring has Sprung... or so we thought!

This week gave us beautiful weather.  On Friday Beck and I enjoyed a picnic with Jalene and then met Chase at the park with Kyle and Jade. 

The parks were packed with people all trying to remedy our vitamin D deficiency. 

It makes me grumpy to admit what kind of weather we have as I am typing this. 

Here is a picture for those of you who are visual learners.  :( This is me with a sad face. 

Sometimes I feel like Spring is one big April fools joke! 

You want to know what makes me happy though?  Listening to our prophets words!  Wasn't general conference awesome?!!  AND!  A temple in Meridian Idaho! wahoo!!

Anyway,

Here is one more picture of the cute little guy- just for fun.
