My favorite little man

Brantley loves his daddy so much and all that his daddy has including his boots and hat

 Brantley LOVES to read. I frequently find him in his rocking chair or somewhere reading a book!!!

 The pictures below he is actually singing from a hymn book that we have.

Zions National Park and Davids Convention (Warning Picture Overload)

At the end of March David was able to present a research project at a Wildlife Society Convention. He works so hard and Brantley and I were thrilled to be able to go with him. This was a great little (MUCH NEEDED) vacation for me to get a way from school for a couple of days. While we were there we got to go to Zions National Park. This was Brantley and my first time there and even though we weren't able to stay for very long or visit many different places and trails (it also didn't help that I am 5 months pregnant and don't want to risk early labor) but we were able to walk on one trail.

 I cant even explain how beautiful Zions is.

 Brantley LOVES LOVES LOVES being outside and this day was no different.

I am so glad we were able to take a few hours to go spend some time outside in beautiful Zions!!!

**The hotel**

 

We had a great room that had an even better view!!

 

 We didn't get to see David very much but when he was we loved spending time with him

 

Brantley had a great time but he didn't have much a good schedule but he was a great trooper!!!

He loved looking out the deck at all the people below

And he would cry and scream when we brought him inside.

 One of the things Brantley and I did a lot while David was away listening to different classes is visit the little outdoor room the hotel had.

Brantley loved it when David was able to join us. They had a good show of lots of different animals.

 This is David posing in front of his poster he was presenting. He did a great job and we hope we can go back next year!!!

* 5 MONTHS *

Here I am 5 months pregnant and I wont lie the pregnancy has still been super easy. Here are a few of the happenings and feelings so far.

1. Not nauseous

2. Not sick

3. I feel her move CONSTANTLY which is totally opposite of Brantley

4. I am still tired but not near as much

5. Still easily irritated by small and stupid things:D

6. I have no food aversions

7. I still fit in my normal clothes but they are getting a little tight.

I AM STILL LOVING BEING PREGNANT

A fun spring break

For spring break I was able to go up North with Brantley and spend some time and watch my nephews and niece for a couple of days. Brantley loved staying at Grandma and Grandpas house. Brantley LOVES Papee he also LOVED playing with his cousins.

 Brantley and Corbin are good buddies I think they will be the best and worst of friends.

 Lilly was such a good helper but she just needed to be reminded to not pick up Brantley quite a few times!:D

 We played outside a lot Brantley loves the little car he would just get in and out.

I would take Brantley, Lilly, and Corbin and walk to pick Bradley up at preschool. One of the days a mother of one of the preschool kids brought baby pygmy goats for all the kids to see.

 We loved spending time with family!!

Arizona Trip

Back in April Brantley and I joined my mom in driving down to Arizona for the weekend. Brantley did SO good on the way down. It was his first real road trip.

 We stopped quite a few times but Brantley seemed to enjoy the adventure. He would cry after a while and we would know that it was time to take a little break. Once in Arizona Brantley got to meet some of his cousins for the first time. We also went to one of the coolest parks I have ever been to.

 Reagan was very helpful of making sure Brantley didn't get to close to the water.

 After everyone (except Brantley) was done watching and feeding the ducks we got to go ride the train that went around the park. While waiting for our turn on the train Brantley got to ride a merry-go-round.

 He wasn't really a fan at first....but

 he LOVED the train and so did I. We got to share a seat with Kaitlyn and Logan!

 Cute Mom and Dad(or pape to Brantley)

 The next day we got to go to church and see Logan (who had just turned 12) receive the priesthood!

We had such a fun trip. Brantley didn't have as much fun on the way back. He was definitely ready to be home and see his daddy!! But we are so glad we got to go and visit family!!

Mornings and A Fun Baby Shower

Our special morning ritual. Most mornings when Brantley gets up one of us goes and gets him and brings him into lay into bed with us. Brantley hardly ever sits still. He is always on the go, but a lot of time in the morning he will lay by us(crawl around on us, over us) and just be happy in one place for about 5 or more minutes. I sure love my two boys!!!


Baby Shower
My friend Che had a beautiful baby girl but a few weeks before she had her baby I was able to get together with a bunch of my friends from high school. It was so much fun getting to catch up with everyone and seeing Che and all the cute little girl things made me so excited for my little girl.

I am so glad that I was able to see all of them again!!
