Terrible 2's have started early

Dallin has been getting into mischief recently. Coloring on walls, rubbing food all over his body, dropping food on the floor, pushing other kids around. And laughing about it all! He seems proud of his rebelliousness.I guess my taking pictures of it probably encourages it, huh? But wouldn't you love a picture of yourself or of your kid like this later? I would.

Free downloadable books

My mom emailed me this link to Deseret Book. (http://deseretbook.com/free) I guess they are offering some LDS books for free to download. Here are the titles. Some sound interesting. I downloaded them all. I may read them while in Utah. We leave in a week and a half. I am excited and nervous. Mostly excited.

2. What I Wish I Would Have Known When I Was Single (by John Bytheway).
3. Women at the Well (by Richard and Jeni Holzapfel).
4. Digging Deeper (by Robert Eaton).
5. 10 Secrets Wise Parents Know (by Brent Top and Bruce Chadwick).

No more teasing Spring!

It appears Spring is here, but you never really know here. But it is amazing how the weather influences my mood. I am so much happier to be able to go outside with the boys and go for walks. It is supposed to be nice for a few days, and you know we will be enjoying it.

How do you like Tanner's sweat shirt? His aunt and uncle Matt and Mickie got one for each of the boys. Love them!

Drew's blessing

My nephew Drew was blessed this Sunday and I took some pictures of him. My parents were in town for it, it was good to see them.

Here is my brother Paul's family

Precious.

Grandpa and Grandma Tanner with my boys. They wouldn't cooperate taking pictures.

A little more Easter

The hunt.

Here are some of my favorites of the Spence boys. There are lots.

Michaela and I were snapping away with all the dads and Mickie calling their names to get them to look in the right direction. It was pretty funny. By the way, Michaela made these adorable ties.

Ty (Matt and Mickie's son) and Calin(Jordan and Michaela's son)

Just a peek

We went to Utah for the weekend to spend time with Nate's brother's families. We had a great time listening to General Conference, visiting, eating, and celebrating Easter. We took some pictures of the boys and their cousins. Here are just a couple of Tanner that I think are adorable. I will post some more later.

Braces savings account?

I took the boys to the dentist today and no cavities, BUT the dentist said to start saving for braces now because both boys have weird bites. 4 of my siblings had major orthodontics done to fix their bites. I guess as long as they can get the no cavities from Nate's side we can deal with braces.

Ok, so this isn't Tanner's real bite, but it is a little crooked, Dallin's too. You can kind of see Dallin's in this picture. Wonder if braces will be necessary, or if it is just "cosmetic".I think it is sort of cute actually.
