Memorial Day Weekend

My sister, Miranda, her husband, Reza, and my niece, Leila, all came to visit us last weekend. We had such a great time together. That was the first time we have seen each other in almost a year, so it was nice for them to finally meet Delson and for me to see Leila again. Leila has changed so much since I last saw her. She is walking all over the place, getting into everything, saying lots of words, and also being a good helper. She is the cutest niece ever! I am sad that our visit was so short, but I'm glad that we finally got to see each other after all this time. Here are some pictures from their visit:

Alex took Miranda for her first motorcycle ride. She was a little nervous at first, but she did it and I think she liked it!

Some cute pictures of Delson in different hats. Gotta love him!

Delson...Nearly 5 Months Old

Delson is getting so old. He will be 5 months old on Sunday and I can hardly believe it. It is crazy to see how different he is now compared to when he was a newborn. Time just flies. Right now we are working on teaching him to roll over from his back to his stomach. He can roll over the other way really well, but when he does it in the night, he can't go back to sleep, so I have to get up and roll him back over. Once he can roll over both ways, I think I will have completely uninterrupted nights because he is sleeping 10-12 hours at night which is wonderful! He has also learned to bring his feet to his face and he loves sucking on his toes. Here are some pictures:

Best Friends Forever

Two weekends ago, my long time best friend since 1st grade, Tanya, and my Freshman dorm roomate and best friend, Kristen, came to visit with their husbands and babies. We had such an amazing time together! Their visit went WAY too fast, but we did a lot of fun things together and laughed A LOT! We had not all been together since graduation 2 years ago, so it was nice to finally be together again like we were at BYU. We played poker every night like the old days and enjoyed laughing at the babies when they were all crying at the same time. (Click on the link to see an awesome video that Tanya took of the babies crying. She also posted some other awesome pictures.) It was probably one of the best weekends of my life. I will never forget it. Kristen figured that between the 3 of us we took over 400 pictures! So here are some of them:

Gavin loved to chase MooMoo around.
