Preschool Fun...

 I picked up Nash from pre-school looking like this...

 He was so happy about this tattoo...

 He has been asking for another one ever since, and notices when others have a tattoo.

 While getting ready for school Nash found his alligator slippers Grandma and Grandpa Willardson gave him.  He had to wear them to school to show Mrs. Cowell.

He was pretty proud of himself!

Willardson Farewell tour...

Our friend Christine Masick called the month before we moved from PA the "Willardson Farewell tour." Because of the series of parties thrown for us to say good-bye.

  Stacia, Malesa and Brook put together a good-bye party with our closest friends from PA.  It was such a fun BBQ and we are so grateful we were able to spend time with each of the families.  Thank you ladies for putting this together for us.

Even Share Bear got to come along.

  The kids were really into playing with Ike.  Keith was good to supervise. 

Thanks again everyone!

Beep Beep...

To be honest I am one of "those" people who drive into the grocery store parking lot and start scouting the carts to be sure to park as far away from the car carts. Although, every so often I TRY to earn the cool mom status and let them sit in the car and I bite my lip as I am running everyone and everything in the store!

This is Asa's first time in the car.  Aren't they so cute and SOOOO happy!

 I was even impressed with how they were color coordinated with the car. :)

Annie Lorretta...

One of my FAVORITE roommates Annie Grimmett or as I like to call her Annie Lorretta came to visit a friend in Philly.  I was so happy she contacted me to meet up with her.  I brought my side by side stroller which turned out to be a nightmare to push through the street markets.  Annie was a gem and did most of it, because Asa wanted me to hold him after I bashed his head into the side of the stroller.  I know ROCKSTAR mother!

 We had an AMAZING breakfast.  I can't remember the name of the place but it was OUTSTANDING!  I am sad I experienced it at the end of our stay in the area.  Darin would have loved the french toast!

It was fun catching up with Annie.  She was my roommate after my mission during my senior year.  We became quick friends and were going to room together the following year when I got a job teaching school in Cache Valley...that was until I made the decision to take the job with Alpine school district and made the move to Orem.  I love you Annie but I am sure glad I made that decision!

Share Bear...

Share Bear was Nash's preschool class pet.  He got to spend a weekend with someone new each week. Nash was the last child to get to spend time with Share Bear...I have a feeling this is going to be his life since his last name starts with a "W".

 We started the weekend off with lunch together.

Saturday we took a trip to Philly to visit a college roommate of mine. Share Bear got to come along.

 We did a lot of walking and grown up stuff while in Philly so on the way back to the car we stopped by a playground for Nash to play.

 It was a pretty hot day.  Asa wasn't crawling yet but was pretty content just hanging out in the stroller.

 Nash had a great time.  I started watching the children around the park and really felt sorry for them.  The park was so small, with hardly any grass. I am just not a fan of city living!

 Where ever we went with Share Bear, Nash was good to "buckle" him up! Safety First!

 As we were getting ready for church I made the kids pose for some pictures.  They were not very cooperative...

 Poor Share Bear was attacked by the slobber monster!

 Later that night we got together with some friends over at the Brinton's for some Cafe Rio yumminess.

When the weekend was over we had to write our adventures down in the class journal.  I don't know if I have said it enough I REALLY LOVED NASH'S TEACHER! Mrs. Cowell was amazing.

General Conference...

I am so happy we can watch General Conference on the internet.  Although, I don't know how much "watching" we actually do with these little rugrats!

Asa was pretty easy to entertain.

Nash on the other had we had to make a game so he would listen a bit.  So with each talk I wrote down  5 church words that he needed to listen for.

 If he heard one of the words he got to roll a jellybean down the shoot into the prize jar.

 It worked pretty well for about 3 talks and then he was done.  But I am happy w

Blue Bells...

 Blue Bell season is a ridiculous time of year for me.  I think I come to this grove of flowers everyday that they are in bloom...in fact the whole Lehigh Valley comes to this grove.  It is funny how the photographers go on blue bell watch.  When one is spotted a "secret" email is sent out to all the photographers you know and we are to keep there bloom a secret. It is all in hopes that less people will visit them.  They get pretty trampled.

 I had an idea for a birthday invitation so Stacia let us borrow her airplane.

 4 years old...

 Nash is SUPER hard to get pictures of.  I have realized that my photoshoots with him are no longer fun.  I spend most of the time yelling "LOOK AT THE CAMERA!"  I need to make this fun again the poor little boy had bad anxiety in these pictures...you can tell by his hands. :(

11 months old...

I am pretty much in love with these two little boys!
