Baby Shower!

Two great friends, Heidi and Veronica, threw me a beautiful pink library baby shower. It was absolutely darling and so much fun! They truly went all out and made me feel so special:) The invites: The pretty and pink decor: The Menu: The Favors: Great family and friends! I can't believe I didn't get a picture with Heidi. She was taking all the pictures and did all the work and somehow I didn't make sure we got a picture together.

Uncle Nic

Eric was out of town while I was 38 weeks pregnant so Uncle Nic came down to hang out with us on his day off. Weston had so much fun he cried everytime we left somewhere. We started at the skate park, had lunch, came home for a nap, went swimming, and hit one round at the batting cages on Nic's way home. I was completely out of energy so Weston was in heaven having Nic around to play with. Thanks Nic!

Jump Street

In an effort to get out of the house and have some fun before the baby came we decided to try out Jump Street. I have no idea why I wasn't there all winter with Weston. He loved it!! (And so did Eric:)

Happy Easter!

The week before Easter, Weston and I, went to Utah to hang out with family and go to my cousin Hayden's wedding. Somehow, I don't have a single picture??? We spent conference weekend and a few days out in Sandy with Grandma and Grandpa Nielson and a few days in Bountiful with Grandma Beverly. We had a great time with family and I was able to go to Hayden's wedding ceremony which was beautiful, but Weston came down with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease while we were there so we missed out on the reception. I felt so bad for the little guy. We drove home on Easter Sunday, and after we made it home and Weston was feeling better I still wanted to celebrate Easter. My family came down the week after Easter and we had fun dying eggs, playing games, and eating the usual ham and potatoes dinner: The eggs: While we were in Utah, we were driving out to Stan and Krista's and Weston said to me, "Mom, you need to get me and Dad to like the Cougars." This was completely unsolicited and for months he'd been regularly asking me if I like the Cougars and then yelling "THE COUGARS ARE YUCKY." I think it may have had something to do with the fact that Uncle Tony likes the Cougars. I asked him how I should do that and he told me to just have them think about it. A few seconds later he decided he liked the Cougars and just in time to go hang out with Uncle Tony. When we got home, Eric was trying to undo all of this Cougar Loving work so after I made a BYU egg to give him a bad time, he took Weston outside and they smashed it. Of course Weston loved that, but we've since agreed that it is actually okay to like the Utes and the Cougars so that Weston doesn't have to be so conflicted:)

Swimming!

Weston did a couple months of swim lessons and it is amazing how much more comfortable he is in the water. He can only swim a few feet at a time, but he just ducks his head under and goes for it. I love watching him. He can stay occupied with a couple diving sticks for an hour! Grandma and Grandpa came to see his last lesson and Grandpa was a good sport and jumped in to play with him for a while after the lesson:

Bloomington!

Back in February, Weston and I decided to tag along on one of Eric's trips to Bloomington to go see all of our friends before some of them moved away. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone that I hardly took any pictures, and it was so fun to see Weston playing with friends he remembers and I loved just chatting with friends that I'm comfortable with:) It's amazing how much a move can affect a 2 1/2 year old. I was able to snag a couple shots of these two guys on one of our swimming and lunch dates...Weston regularly asks me when we are going to see Will again, and when he asked today I was so excite to be able to tell him "In about a month!!"

Food and Dirt

Eric just told me this story and I thought it was cute. He and Weston were driving home in the car and had the following conversation:

W: Dad, did you know some clocks are made out of metal?
E: That's cool. Did you know some Westons are made out of metal?
W: No, I'm not made out of metal.
E: What are you made of?
W: Food and dirt!
