Happiness

It's taken a few weeks- he started taking a few steps here and there at 12 months old, then 5 or 6 and then across a room and late Saturday night, up at 3 am and everything was quiet, he began walking and walking and walking. He has such a cute walk- he moves his hips and falls down a lot! He likes to carry something in his hand- a Kleenex box, a bitten into jelly bean, my shoe. He just smiles and laughs like he knows he's doing something amazing! Go, bigD, Go! So, he has dropped from taking two naps to one nap a day. Oh, my! I fall asleep so fast at night since he wears me out! I may have him do quiet time in his crib with books and toys while I take a quick nap!  Also, Josh had an interview for a position for Associate General Counsel of the Utah State Legislature last week. They got 250 applications, interviewed 30 and will be calling back 10 next week and hiring three. It would be an understatement to say that we would love this job- maybe even better than the BYU position ...

  I can't believe how fast time flies! Our little preemies are now 11! They were once so tiny and seeing them turn 11 has reminded me of how lucky we are that they are here- healthy and strong. We love you guys, Ethan and Jonah!

    My littlest sister is expecting her first- a baby girl- in June. She lives in Logan and my sister flew in from California to help with the shower (and attend BYU Womens Conference with me)! My Mom and Dad drove up too so it was a party! We did the theme "She's About to Pop!" and it was loads of fun! 

Declan turned ONE! Happy Birthday, baby boy!! We love you!
