Drive Date

Darin, Matthew, and I went for a drive for a drive for our date yesterday. Here are a few pictures from our journey.

Videos of Matthew

I know that I am his mother, but I just think that Matthew is so stinkin cute!! Here are two more videos of him lately. One is Matthew laughing--sorry about the camera work. It is a little tough being the camera woman and playing with Matthew at the same time. The other video is Matthew trying to make the rasberry sound or the “voiced bilabial fricative” sound as genious Heather calls it!! :) Enjoy!

Rolling Matthew!

As I mentioned in a previous post, Matthew has been rolling over since he was 7 weeks old. I know that the doctors tell us to give babies "tummy time" but this is what happens as soon as he gets on his tummy!

Farmer Darin

Darin has been working on his garden lately, and he sure has done a great job! He is planting beets, corn, carrots, crookneck squash, lemon squash, spaghetti squash, tomatoes, daikons, Chinese cabbage, zucchini, mint, pepper mint, and Asian melons. I wish that I would have taken before an after pictures because he has done a great job! I love going up there to see his work, but also to visit with my grandparents, look at the hummingbirds, and have little picnics. Here are a few pictures from our recent journeys to the garden.

Matthew's Favorite Things

Matthew is starting to LOVE his tounge!!


In the last few days Matthew has a new favorite thing! See if you can guess what it is:





Yes, Matthew has learned to grab anything that is within reach and put it in his mouth!! Every time Darin gives Matthew a kiss Matthew grabs the glasses off Darin's face and puts them in his mouth. He did the same thing with my sunglasses. But I have to say that my favorite it the library card and the shoe!

Friend Get Together

Yesterday I was able to get together with a few of my friends from High School. Three of us had babies within a few weeks of each other. It was fun to see them all together! Here are a few pictures from the day! Thanks Annie for letting us come up!

Fun Weekend

Darin, Matthew, and I had a fun weekend! We walked up to the Post Office where they had a bunch of chalk art! I am so impressed with anyone that has artistic ability! Here are a few of the pictures from the fun night!

Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Darin, Matthew, and I had a Happy Cinco de Mayo complete with mariachi music, virgin margaritas, enchiladas, and a home-made piñata! Hope you had a good one!

Matthew's First Hair Cut

Matthew got his first haircut on Saturday! I had a dream on Friday that someone thought he was a girl, so I knew it was time for the cut. Grandpa Gunnerson gave him his first cut! Here are a few of the pics.

Easter Weekend

Happy Easter!!

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend! It started on Wedndsay when Darin's mom brought Matthew a little cute Easter bag:

On Friday night Darin and I dyed some hard boiled eggs!



Saturday Morning the Easter Bunny brought us our Easter Baskets and hid eggs around our apartment for me to find!! (The Easter bunny did a really good job hiding the eggs and I had a lot of fun finding them!) Us with our Easter baskets:





Sunday was a wonderful Easter day! Darin and Matthew took a nap together before church. Aren’t they cute?!


After church we went to my parents for a delicious dinner!! Here are some of the pictures from the afternoon.


I took orange rolls for the dinner. I was pretty nervous to make them, but I was glad that they turned out. For the recipe click here.

Darin bought me this beautiful Easter Lilly. The last flower just bloomed today!

I also made some peanute butter chocolate Easter eggs. For this recipe click here.
