2 YEARS!!!

Das and I celebrated our 2nd year anniversary on Monday.  I really can't believe he has put up with me for that long.  It has been the best two years of my life.  Das proposed to me on a cruise we took to the Bahamas.  We both had never been on a cruise, or to sand clear blue water beaches.  He chose the perfect place to do it.  Previously, Das had spent 3 weeks in England for his job.  He came home for a day, and we were off to Miami where we spent a night in Key West before we left on the cruise.  Das and I will be going there this July to celebrate our 2nd anniversary.  Key West is a blast, if you ever get the chance to go.
These were our announcements.  My sister in law Keli took the pictures in our neighbors back yard.  They turned out so cute!
Our wedding day!  I was so sad that it had rained, but it still was such a wonderful day. 
This past year we haven't been able to travel as much as we did our first year of marriage....since I was pregnant.  But we were able to go to Mexico, New York, San Diego, Arizona, the cabin, the condo in St. George, Colorado.  Many more things happened to us this past year.  The big two being Logan, and going through the temple.  What two wonderful experiences.  I couldn't have chosen a better husband. 
And in June, we will be getting sealed as a family in the Oquirrh Temple.  Tristan and Ashton included.  I am so thankful for Das and for what a wonderful husband and father he has been.  He is my best friend, my everything!  And I am looking forward to many more anniversaries to come!
I Love You Das!

Hip Hop A Hippity Hop Hop

Our Easter festivities started early Saturday morning.  Our friends Joe and Kelly told us about an Easter egg hunt at a park in Draper.  We woke up early and headed there.  It was crazy how many people were there. 
They had sections for each age group.  Das told the boys to run straight to the middle to get more eggs.  (Of course they didn't listen) I wasn't expecting the parents to run with the kids.  So as soon as the buzzer went off, I instantly lost sight of the boys.  I got pretty nervous.  Luckily I found them.

The Easter egg hunt took a whole 10 seconds.  It took us longer to get out of the parking lot. 
Mr. Easter Bunny Das.Tristan made this hat at school. The teeth are homegrown. lol 
Das headed over to IFA that afternoon to pick up stuff for our garden.  And looky what the Easter Bunny showed up with . . . baby chicks.






And then later that night we dyed Easter eggs, and then sent the boys to bed.  

 
The boys were up bright and early Sunday morning to search for eggs.  The Easter Bunny over did it this year. 
 
Usually on Easter we go to my parents house.  But they are in China right now, so we invited Das's family to our house.  Ratha and Racie had plans already to go to her mother's home.  But they stopped by on their way to visit.  Cutest little boys ever. I can't tell who is bigger.  They are both growing so big!







We really enjoyed being with family and celebrating the true meaning of Easter and His resurrection.  We are so thankful to Christ and His sacrifice for us.

What a big boy!

Our "not so" little Logan had his 4 month check up last week.  I can't believe he is almost 15 lbs.  He was about in the 50% for everything.  Just look at those cheeks!
He is a really good sleeper, but is a light one.  I had just propped him up while I ran in the kitchen, and came back to him asleep.
He loves to cover his eyes when he is eating.
The pediatrician gave us the go ahead to start him on oatmeal/rice, fruits, and vegetables.  So I started him on oatmeal.  What a mess he made.  But after spitting out the first couple of bites, he ended up really seeming to like it, and finished it all.  The peaches were another story
Eating in style!
Logan loves his daddy and big brothers.  I am constantly catching the boys playing with him and picking him up.  Although we have told them that is a no no.  But they are such a big help when I am working out in the morning and any time he is fussing.
I captured this yesterday while Das was watching the Red Sox game.  Logan watched it with him for quite a bit.
And then tuckered out.
Everyday I am amazed at how much he is changing.  He grabs for things and loves to stand.  He is also starting to sit up by himself....with just a little help.  And laughs at everything.  We played poker with some friends the other night, and everyone just passed him around the table talking about how stinking cute he is.  And in Relief Society, the teacher had to stop because he was laughing so much.  I haven't gotten many pictures of the older boys lately, but we have been so busy.  Last week flew!  Ashton had his kindergarten orientation last week.  He is so excited to be going to school with Tristan.  We also signed the boys up for Spring soccer.  They get to be on the same team this time with their triplet cousins.  We are also planning another trip to San Diego.  We are going to take the kids to Disney Land.  We are all loving this warm weather.  More playing out in the yard and summer walks.  Das and I also have a trip planned to Key West.  And then we are trying to plan a trip to Lake Powell with a few of our friends.  It is going to be a great summer!

A work in progress....Literally

I don't know where to begin.  Do are start off by thanking my wonderful sister and family for all of their hard work?  Or by showing how far our yard has come?  The past two weeks have flown by, with plenty of progress.  We could never have done as much work that has been done this month without the help of my sister Lynette, and her husband Bruce.  And definitely not to exclude her children, Mike, David, Zach, and Jake.  Dan I am sure would also be there to help, if he weren't serving an LDS mission right now.  And Samantha....had girl things going on.;)  Top picture....we can't forget, was the starting pic a few weeks ago.  


These are our finished grow boxes.  We kept a spot in the top right corner for our strawberries and rhubarb.  Now we need some compost and peat moss and hopefully we can grow stuff from these wonderful boxes. 
While the men were in back working on the garden, Lynette and I (mostly Lynette) were cleaning up the front yard. Top pick was last week, bottom pic was today after Lynette "fluffed" my soil.  We are going to plant a weeping cherry right in the middle. 

Tristan sat inside watching cartoons most of the time.  But Ashton was out digging up weeds and worms.  He loved talking to his Aunt about all the things he sees and what he can do to help. That kid can talk.
Lynette cut down all my rose bushes, and some others that were over grown.  We are going to dig these out, and plant a maple tree in its place.
A  cleaned up front yard. 
We are going to dig up this apple tree and replant it at the pic below.  And in the apple trees place, we are going to plant a white pine. 


This rose bush will be removed soon.  It was too much of an annoyance last year.  Today was a very productive day.  Still lots to be done but it feels so great to be making progress.  Thank you so much Adams family!
