Easter

I am in love with Harrison's Easter outfit. The plaid pants and sweater vest make me smile every time I look at them. And his white collar shirt with the sleeves rolled up makes it that much more adorable.

But add in that ridiculous plaid hat and my heart just sings. Seriously, this is the best Easter outfit there every was. It makes my heart oh so very happy.






And then there's this cute face...


That smile + the amazing outfit = crazy amounts of cuteness.


I can hardly stand it. Love this boy!








The best part about this outfit is that later we read in Parents Magazine the list of the best baby names in 2009. They were put into categories such as "Royalty Names" (Henry, Victoria, Anastasia), "Nature Lovers" (Cliff, Winter, Daisy, Dawn), "Rock Stars" (Elvis, Janis, Ashlee), etc. The name Harrison fell into the category "Country Clubbers" along with Stanford, Chase, Brynley, Grace, Eleanor and others.

Haha. Little did we know we were just helping our son live up to his name. :)

Rachel and Eric spent Easter with us:

Here is Harrison checking out his Easter goods. The Easter bunny brought him some dinosaurs and a Lightning McQueen sippy cup. Lucky! (the Little People cars are from Grandma Wride - she is so sweet and always so good to us!)



Hunting for eggs...


I was worried that Harrison wouldn't really get the concept of hunting for eggs, but I should have known better... Harrison is all about things being in their appropriate place. He's almost OCD about it. He loved it! He was all about finding those eggs and putting them in his basket where they belonged.







Even better was when he realized there was stuff inside!


He then proceeded to dump the contents of all his eggs,


and give this "Is there a problem?" look when we asked what he was doing.




Kate and Brock joined us later!




Cute outfits, yummy food, lots of candy, and family. We love Easter.

Are you getting excited?

More Easter pictures coming soon. Just wanted to give you time to prepare yourself for a MAJOR overload.

I can't seem to keep up

I use to be really good at updating our blog, but there have been so many other things going on lately that I just can't seem to get to it. Someday I'll post all the cute pictures from Dallin and Amy's Wedding... from our trip to Arizona... playdates with friends... and a million other things that I keep meaning to share with all of you,

but not today.


Today you just get one picture. :) Hopefully this will hold you til I can get to all of those other posts I keep meaning to do.


This is my new favorite picture of Harrison. Well, today's favorite picture. I'm sure I'll have a new one tomorrow. Man I love that sweet face.

We're still here...

I'm learning how to use my new camera.



It helps to have a ridiculously cute little boy as my subject to practice on.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Harrison, out little heart-breaker:



For Valentine's Day this year we made sugar cookies! Harrison was a great helper. He loved to push the cookie cutters into the dough,










and he was very good at pointing out each of the shapes once they were made.


Maybe a little too good... (take note of the fingerprints in each cookie)


Turns out making cookies can be messy, but how cute are those flour covered toes?!


A little fun with the big cookie cutters:








And it turns out that Harrison does NOT like the cookie dough. Ewww...


A little more work, and the cookies were baked.






Good times. :)



Next up, decorating.

Yes, we let our child play with knives.








We were there too...




And even Aunt Rachel came by to decorate a cookie!


Harrison's finished product:






Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese!!





Happy Valentine's Day!
