April

Easter with the Family
It was fun.  This was Natalies first Easter.  No easter egg hunt this year since she was too little, but definitely next year. 
here are some of the pictures from Easter 2011

Our Logan Trip

So we are planning on moving to Logan so El can go to Utah state university.  I can not tell you how excited I am to move.  I love moving to new places and Logan is gonna be so much fun! I finally get my own kitchen and our own place with our own space.  It will be so great!  Not that living with the in-laws isn't good.  El's parents are definitely the best in-laws to live with.  They really do give us our own space and and they always offer to watch the Natalie when we ask.  It is great!  It will just be really nice to have our own place and be on our own.

So, we took a trip to Logan with El's cousin Daniel and his family to check out the university and campus and possibly the town house we will be living in if we can get it.  It is  on-campus housing, and small but really cute.  And it looks really nice in person too.


The Logan temple is so beautiful!  It looks like a castle and I love how the outside is made of brick instead of being all white.  It is gorgeous.  I am really excited that this will be our new temple.  Its great to move to another city where we will have a temple so close to us!  What a
great blessing!







Natalie's Baby Blessing







This was a really exciting week for us.  Natalie was super sick this week with her first ever cold.  That really sucked for Natalie.  She was so uncomfortable and we felt so bad for her and helpless since there was nothing we could really do for.  We finally know why parents say its the worst to have a sick child. it really is.  As a parent I have never felt so helpless.  We did end up buying a humidifier for our bedroom to help her breath.  Our room now feels like a cigar room or like the Amazon Jungle haha.  But it works wonders for Natalie!

This is also a really exciting week because this is Natalie's baby blessing.   A really exciting time for our family, especially for Eldon.  He has been in tons of baby blessings before, but this is the first time he has had the opportunity to bless his own daughter.  It was a very tender blessing!  Definitely from the heart.  We were both really emotional that day.  What a wonderful day, and great testimonies that day as well.  Eldon's cousin Daniel and his family were able to come down for the blessing which was really nice.  We were able to see baby Carter and little Elise (who is getting so big)  Both El and I can't believe that she is only 2!  Daniel and his family are actually the ones we are going to be living by when we move to Logan next year.  We are so excited for that. Great family!!!

First week of April and Conference
This is becoming a really fun month!  Natalie is doing great with her reflux and is such a great baby.
She had her first conference this month and her Aunty Jen came down to visit and couldn't believe how big she is getting. She is starting to giggle too. She giggled for the first time this month and I was the only one who didn't hear it.  She giggled for her daddy and giggled for her Aunty Nat but not for mommy.  She is holding out on me.  She is beginning to focus on things and people and when she sees you she'll smile now.  It is so much fun!  She is really not a newborn anymore, but a baby. Her face is also starting to form into Her face, rather than the little generic newborn face all babies have.

Her first conference with Aunty Jen. She really couldn't believe how big she was.  She thought she is really filling out.  We agree.







I can't believe she is holding on to her toy!!  El captured this and its so awesome!


So we finally caught her first smile on camera.  Actually her Aunty Tash captured it on her cell phone and then sent it to us. How CUTE!!!

Sleeping just like daddy..... seriously a becoming a daddies little girl!


Baby and grandma sleeping.  I thought this was really cute.
