And finally...

OK so to continue..In March Trevor was ordained an elder and my mom was able to come and visit. It just so happened the Westovers were in town at the same time. We had a great big dinner over at the Linthorst house and played games. It was a ton of fun. Trevor's girlfriend Ali and her parents were able to come down for his ordination also. We had lots of fun with Grandma Mary in town and my kids got spoiled rotten with the granny suitcase she brings filled with goodies. Isaac got to read a new book with Grandma Mary every night. It was definitely his favorite part of having Grandma Mary stay at our house! Just a few weeks later Brooke started crawling and now we can't keep her out of anything. She always wants to be following someone and now she is trying to pull her self up on everything. We love it and hate it! Brooke also loves her big brother Isaac. She has to be around him any chance she gets. We love it!
At the beginning of April we celebrated Ali's birthday with pizza and cake at our house. The exciting news was that day before Trev proposed in Moab to her. We are so excited to have her in our family. They plan on getting married here in Salt Lake, August 6th!!  Another big Linthorst party, yay!
And of course the best part of this blog are the last few pictures! Isaac is way into stealing my camera. I never knew why because how would this kid know how to take a real picture, right? Well this week I discovered what he has been up too! CHECK IT OUT!!

February and March were busy months for us! Valentines Day came quickly and we were able to have a wonderful family and friends dinner over at the Linthorst house. As a family gift for Valentines Day we got Isaac a Wii. I am not sure now if that was such a great idea. He loves the game Just Dance 2. It is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. He specializes in the Charleston..everywhere we go!! Our little niece Hannah had her birthday party and Isaac enjoyed every minute of it at Classic Skate. Adrianne made an amazing cake for her part. She chose an army themed party. Those of you who don't know, at the time, her dad Steve was going through basic training. He graduated just a few weeks ago. We also had a cousin wedding on the Radford side and the kids were loving themselves some treats!! And of course we got lucky to see the Ricker's in March. They came to town for a few days so we got pupusas in and of course The Pie pizza!! It was so much fun to see all our kids together.
More to come!!
Owen and Brookie on Valentines Day!

Long Past Due!!

I know I've been totally lacking on the blogging. I didn't realize it had been since January and here it is April. So I am slowly but surely going to catch everyone up about the past few months. Life has been busy but fun. Still waiting on our spring weather, or at least NO MORE SNOW!! Brooke was 6 months at the end of January and started eating solids. She took the veggies very well but it took her a few weeks to eat the fruits without getting squeamish. Isaac got to enjoy some fun activities with his cousins either at Discovery Museum or the Dinosaur museum. There were a few days that we were able to get out and enjoy the sun. Isaac loves his scooter and because Brooke was in her stroller with sunglasses on, Isaac had to make sure he had his on too!

First bite of baby food!


Brooke on her 6 month mark, just home from church!


Fun at the dinsaur museum.

Brooke loves bath time. She loves to be cuddled in her towel!

Isaac and Brooke ready for a walk!
