Baby Conner

My sister Annie and her husband, Jeff added a cute little boy to their family of girls today!!! They named him Conner Ladel Byington. He is a long skinny boy at 5lb. 15 oz. and 20 inches long. How fun for them to have their first little boy!

No pictures of the little guy yet but here is my mom and Annie, getting organized and ready for the baby.

Me and Annie's youngest girl, Paige. She is adorable. I wish I had a picture of Jade, these two girls have the biggest blue eyes you will ever see...so cute!

Random catching up

Jared and I got to spend Easter in Idaho with my parents this year. The kids were super excited and a little worried the Easter Bunny wouldn't find them but we had a lot of fun. Here are just a few of the tons of pictures I took.
Cute TJ dying easter eggs. I think he did all of his yellow

Emma and TJ. Emma is showing off her egg.

Just relaxing in the hammock


On our way home from Big Judd's. I love that place, they have the best burgers and fries ever!

Me and Mom

Grandpa Hulse tickling TJ. He was going around to everyone asking them to tickle him. Silly boy.

Emma and Grandma Hulse. My grandma has a collection of Care Bears that is pretty impressive and Emma absolutely loves it!!!


TJ playin' ball. He was doing awesome!


Rees and Grandpa. She was helping to pitch the ball and would run like crazy to get it when TJ hit it.

Emma and Rees playing outside. Notice Emma's little patch of hair she decided to cut herself...nice.


I love this picture
A few weeks ago Annie and I loaded up and drove to Riverton to help Nancy plant some flowers in her yard. We didn't think to bring shovels and Nancy couldn't find hers so we ended up using kitchen spoons, which we got a good laugh out of. It was a lot of fun to spend some time with the girls and the kids had a blast!
Nancy and Annie are both getting pretty far along in their pregnancies and it was funny to see them trying to bend over and dig with their spoons :)

Nancy got out the hose to spray the flowers and the kids decided to have some fun in the water. Rees was hilarious, she loved it! Here is Emma trying to take her spoon.


And getting a drink. This went on for a couple of minutes, every time she went in to get a drink she ended up getting her whole head drenched.


Some of the kids running through the water

Rees and Paige. Their clothes were soaked so they rode home naked. Cute cousins!

Moab

This is long over due but a few weeks ago Jared and I spent the weekend in Moab with my parents and Chris and Nancy. The plan was for Jared, Chris and me to run in the Canyonlands half marathon but Nancy had to go and ruin it :). We got a call from Chris the morning of the race telling us pregnant Nancy was in the hospital with kidney stones. Ouch!!! So Chris missed out but Jared and I ran and had a lot of fun. We spent the rest of the trip hiking and sight seeing. It was my first time to Moab and I loved it! I am hoping it becomes a tradition. Jared and me after the race
Dead Horse Point


Nancy and me, it was freezing!



On a little hike
This is me and my niece, Livvy at lunch. She is hilarious. She was playing with my camera and kept taking random pictures of people walking by. We got a couple good ones of our waitress too. She definitely kept us entertained.


Jare Bear :) He didn't know I was taking this picture. Doesn't he look happy?


Chris, Nancy and my mom at the arch. It was super windy, I was afraid I was going to get blown off a cliff.
