April 2011

In April we had Easter and several baby showers.  We had a lot of fun celebrating the Holiday.  I enjoyed making the cakes.  Enjoy the pictures.

Here is the first cake I made.  It was for my cousin Keri.  She had her little daughter at the end of May, her name is Makelle.  I had so much fun making this.  This was the first time in a long time.

 This is the second diaper cake I made.  This was for Jenny she is Angie (my sister-in law's sister).  She had her little girl in may as well.  I believe they named her Lily (I will correct this if I am wrong).  I wasn't able to make it to the shower so I had to ship it.  I was glad it made it there safely.

Grant takes after his mother.  He loves chocolate especially oreo's.  I wonder if that has anything to do with the oreo's I ate almost every night  when I was pregnant with him.

Easter weekend was great. We spent the weekend just the four of us.  We had so much fun.  The first thing we did on Saturday was go to a local easter egg hunt.    

Waiting for the egg hunt to Begin.

 Tate and his five eggs.  He only would gather blue and green eggs. He had a lot of fun gathering up his eggs.

Then since it was actually sunshine and somewhat warm outside we put on our Jackets and went to the park for a picnic.  Tate had so much fun running and playing on the slides.

Grant enjoying the Sunshine.

Tate climbing up the slide.  This is one of his favorite things to do.

Then we went home and dyed oiled eggs.  Tate was very proud of his eggs.

Easter Morning we found the Easter baskets.  He certaintly was spoiled.

Grant checking out his basket.  He loves his new little toy.

That morning I went outside to take out a dirty diaper and this is what I found.  A little delivery from the Easter Bunny.

This is what was inside the box.  This was a fun delivery from Jace's Parents!

Here are my boys in their Easter outfits ready for church. 

At the end of the weekend this is how we found Tate.

I guess we tired him out!

March 2011

In March we had the Pearson March Birthday's. It was a lot of fun. We had the traditional cornbeef and cabbage. I tried my hand at making a cake with fondant. I thought I did a really good job guess I will let you be the judge.

I had a lot of fun making this!

The boys blowing their bubbles!

This is Lela!  Remember my post regarding November.  She sure has grown.

Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Pearson.  We all had to wear leprechaun costumes for the dinner.  It was fun.

Max and Tate.  Tate loves his cousin Max. Afte we see him he talks about him for weeks.

Grandma Pearson and Grant.

Our little Superman!

He sure knows how to make me smile!

January & February 2011

2011 brought on a new semester for Jace, Grant turned 6 months old, and Tate continued to be a little rascal.  Here are some fun pictures from that time frame!

We had these taken at Grant's 6 month photo's. 

Oh How I love this boy!

   

December 2010

December was really busy for us.  I decided to make most of my Christmas projects for everyone this year and of course some of them were saved until the last minute.  I wish I had taken pictures of them all but I forgot to.  So I will just list out what I did:

1- Christmas Stockings for Tate and Grant

2- Levi Quilt for my brother Matthew

3- Temple Plaques for my Mom and my mother-in-law

4- Fleece blankets for my two nephews

5- Sweater purses for my two sisters

6- Christmas Table runner for my kitchen Table

Whew! Did I leave anything out?  Lets just say it was a bit crazy.  My Dad turned Fifty on December 23rd so we went to Roosevelt for that and Christmas.  It was the first time in two year my mom had all her kids home so it was nice to be there.  Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Our Christmas tree at home before we left.

Santa brought Tate a tool bench!

Grant trying to figure out what is going on!

Tate going through his stocking.

So are they spoiled or what!

This is what Santa brought Grant.

Grant loved sucking on this turtle.

The penguin scared him.

We gave this to Tate.  It is the Thomas track and Tate loved it.  We have to pull it out all the time.

Rachel exhausted from all the fun!

Jace's mini helicopter I got him.

Tate and Jace flying the helicopter.

Later that day we went out on the four wheeler's and had a really good time.

Tate was really tired at this point.

Grant bouncing on Grandma's leg trying not to fall asleep!

Tate got the fish game where the fish move around in a circle and you have to try and hook them with your pole.  He really likes this game.

Tate got this superhero outfit from his Grandma and Grandpa Pearson.  A few nights after we got home he had to wear it to bed.

This is all of Tate's train track put together.  Jace did this while I was at work one day.  He said Tate was entertained for hours.

2010 was a so much fun.  We added a new member to our family, my brother returned home from his mission, Jace's brother got married, and Jace continued to do well in School.  Somehow we made it through and I know a large part goes to our Heavenly Father.  I am so happy with the life I have and hope I remember to enjoy where I am at and not keeping looking to the future.

2011 Here we COME!!!!  

November 2010

Well November was a little quieter.  At the beginning of the month we had Grant's 3 Month pictures done.  Those dark brown eyes melt me almost every time.  I am so grateful this little boy came into our family.  He is definitely going to be a handful just like his big brother.  Here are a few pictures from the shoot.

His little mischievous grin!

Seriously Mom you want me to do what?

Okay I will give you a big smile!

Are we done yet?

Then at the end of the month we had Thanksgiving with part of the Pearson Clan.  There was so much snow in Logan.  We had such a good time with all the family.  The only ones missing was Jake, Angie, Max, and Ty.  We missed having them around.  Tate loved playing with Lela.  She is Jared and Kimee's American Bulldog.  She is so little in this picture she is now at least twice if not three times the size shown here.  

Lela eating the snow!

Tate getting Lela more snow.

Lela wanting to run after Tate!

Tate calling for Lela!

Lela Excited she finally got to Tate!

Lela pushing Tate into the snow, especially since they were the same size.

Starting the process all over again.  Getting snow...

Feeding Lela the Snow...

Lela sitting to eat the snow!

The day after Thanksgiving I did the Midnight and early morning sales.  Jace and Grant were troopers by coming with me.  Tate stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa.  I went to Wal-mart at midnight by myself and had a really great time.  I know many of you probably think I am crazy but for me it is all about the adrenaline rush I get trying to beat out someone else who is just as crazy as me to be there for something I want.  For the  most part I was able to get everything on my list and had 50% of my Christmas shopping completed by 11:00 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving.  Next up is Christmas and Christmas Projects!!
