Dawson's first birthday

We celebrated Dawson turning 1 at the park in our neighborhood. Dawson dove into his cake and got a little shy when we sang happy birthday. Dawson, is getting good at walking across the family room, can take around 4-5 steps before falling. He loves playing with balls, likes to take baths, and enjoys wrestling with his brothers. It's hard to believe he is a year old. Thank you family for all his birthday gifts and for attending his 1 year old birthday party.

Dixie Sign

Jake, Jaden, & Owen climb to the Dixie sign in St. George.

Owen says

Owen says to me while we were swimming, "Mom, why can you touch the bottom of the pool and I can't." My reply, "Because you have to be five feet." Owen says, "Five feet....., you don't have feet."

Dawson update

Dawson is now standing on his own. Is able to go from sitting to standing without holding onto anything. Is taking a couple steps prior to falling. Weighs 18 pounds. Enjoys wrestling with his brothers. Is learning to crawl down the stairs. Did not like whole milk so we went back to formula. Will finish the can of formula and go back to trying whole milk. Likes rolling around in his blankets on the floor, and gives high five. Last but not least, whenever Jake comes through the doors after work Dawson is always looking for Jake's pen hanging from the top of his ear. Dawson enjoys taking it off and trying to put it back on.

Dragon Award

Jaden received the Dragon Award from school. This reward is a result of good attendance and academics. Great job Jaden. The whole family was there to support him.

St. George & Zions Canyon

We spent Memorial Day weekend in St. George and Zions Canyon. During our drive to Zion's Canyon Owen says, "I want to jump on the clouds." And during our drive on the shuttle up to the area where we were going to hike Owen says, "Her face isn't old but her arm is." (referring to our shuttle driver). During our hike he kept yelling to Jake, "You who wait for me. Oh You Who." Owen also says to a couple resting and drinking some water, "Your going to melt." There is no doubt that he says what is on his mind.
