There's those teeth.

I finally caught a pic of his mouth full of teeth. He has six teeth on top and two on the bottom. That has got to feel so weird on his bottom gums!!

Butterflies

My preschool grew caterpillars into butterflies. It was so neat. I have done it the last two years at the u of I so I was excited to order my little caterpillars let them grow and get into they chrysalis and then into butterflies. My favorite part is releasing them. You stick your hand in the net and they climb right on your hand. Then you set them onto a branch or grass or flower. I feel as gentle as Jesus! I can't wait to do this with mason when he is bigger


Mustache binky

Nothing is more funnier than a baby in a mustache. Oh goodness I can't stop laughing or taking pictures. The best part is he keep making faces but has no idea how adorable it is!











So excited for school

Olde European breakfast

We went out to eat with Travis' parents for a quick visit. They came to visit grandma but we didn't want to spread our colds so we didn't go out to the ranch. On the way out of town Chris and Jim invited us to breakfast. It was delicious as always. We love you. Thank you for the quick visit.

Mom and chases visit

I love when We get visitors. Chase and my mom came to visit. It was a short trio during their spring break. They came in on Wednesday and left Friday so I took Thursday off for a full day of spoiling. We went to the park, out to eat and did plenty of shopping at all our favorite local shops. Travis and I had colds all week so it was the perfect distraction and just what we needed. Thank you so much for coming!!
