Can we say Easter?!

Decorating Eggs!

Our friends Emily Anderson and her kids Abby, Jaiden and Ali were nice to let us join in on their Easter egg decorating adventure. Aiden and Abby play really well together, thanks for being so sweet Abby! Abby called it "painting" eggs, she would correct me every time. We had a ton of fun!! Even us moms were able to enjoy ourselves because we knew the mess would be inevitable and so we didn't stress! lol Although my friend Christy game me this amazing idea for coloring eggs. Use a wisk and it makes the process pretty much as mess free as one can get with 2 yr olds! Lindsey just gets to sit back and watch the egg "painting" process....next year you can join in on the fun.

The Hunt!

Grandpa and Grandma Crist had a little Easter egg hunt just for Aiden and Lindsey! Thanks guys, it was the best! Lindsey figured out the fun fast and was totally into finding the eggs. She also realized that candy was in the eggs and tried to open them and succeeded a few times! Aiden had a blast, he thought it was so cool that he found so many, especially the ones really hard to find...like up in the tree! Good thing uncle Richard and Daddy were there to help out! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Easter Bunny!
The Easter Bunny soooo came to our house. This is the first year that he came, so we were extra happy! He brought outside toys, cool straws, coloring books, and more candy for Aiden. Lindsey got some fingernail polish, kites, straws, and outside toys too! Thanks Easter Bunny!m

Sunday Best!

Isn't Aiden oh so handsome? I'm biased but I definitely think so!! :) He is getting so big, I can't believe he is almost 3 yrs old already. Aiden you are such blessing in our life....it wouldn't be the same without you. Please don't change, We love you! Lindsey wouldn't cooperate with us while we were taking the pics before church so we don't have a cute one of her. But we still love her anyway! :) Thanks for being such a good little girl and always bringing smiles and happiness into our lives. We love you girl! :)
Last but not least...Our Family! I can't believe we are a family of four. I love it!! We have been so blessed in our lives! Rog has a great job that supports our needs, he also just got accepted to the MBA program at UVU starting this fall. Congrats Rog, you ROCK!!!! Rog is now the 2nd Counselor in the Young Mens, that has been an adjustment but has brought more blessings than we can count. We enjoy the Gospel and are blessed to have it as apart of our lives. The knowledge that it gives us is truly priceless. We love our Savior and are greatful for the sacrifice that He gave in our behalf. All we have we owe to you. THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU!

Party for Lindsey!

Yummy in my tummy!!!

She was actually happy for her cake and ate most of it!

She sure can eat for such a small gal.

You make our hearts smile Lindsey!

Presents equals FUN!

Lindsey got so many great presents from all who came.

Thanks friends who celebrated this special day with me!!!

Hmmmm....what's inside?

I found it mommy! :) Isn't she so cute!

Crist Family March 2011

Family photo shoots are always oh so much fun. Especially with a 2 1/2 and 1 yr old! Good thing we got a few good ones to share with ya'll! Our friend Jessica took them for us, I think she did a great job. As a family we are enjoying life and doing great! Enjoying our sweet little experiences with Aiden and Lindsey! Excited for Spring to be here and to be outside at all times. :)

Happy 1st Birthday Lindsey Dawn!!! :)

Our cutie Lindsey Dawn! At Her one year appointment she weighed 17.8 lbs and 26 in long. So tiny she is in the 5th percentile, same size as a 6mo old.
She is such a fun, sweet little girl. Always all smiles and talkative!

Lindsey started crawling and got her first two teeth at 11 mo and walking at 12 1/2 mo.
She is our late bloomer but mommy was definately ok with that! :)

We love you Lindsey just the way you are! :)

Valentine's Day!

Rog and I enjoyed a night out on the town! We got to dress up, dance, have dinner, and play games. It was a fun and new way to celebrate Valentines Day! Twas FUN!

Update in the Life Thereof!!

Lets hope this will be a come back to the blogging world not just an appearance. We got rid of our internet for awhile but now we are back in progress, so I am in charge of our blog updates from now on! Soon we will have pictures to bring you up to the present time in how the kiddos look and such, but our picture upload isnt working right now. Yeah, figures. Now onto the updates...
Aiden is now 2 1/2 yrs old and is going on 12! Seriously, he is in charge in every way, at least he thinks he is! Watch out when you are with him cause he will talk your ear off! He is a typical boy in every way. He loves to fix things, cars, airplanes,all sports (especially basketball and soccer like his daddy and uncle Richard), he is going through a new stage called...Be agressive...B E agressive!!! It is his lifes motto these days! He is an awesome big brother, it has turned from the love hate relationship with Lindsey to more of the love, which is good for us all! lol But all in all he brings so much life to our little world...we wouldnt have him any other way.
Lindsey is now 10 months old as of yesterday! All I can say is "what?". Where did that time go? She is completely different from Aiden, so I feel like I am being a first time mom all over again. She is very chill for the most part. Every time you look at her she has a grin from cheek to cheek that you can't help but smile back at, and it warms your heart oh so much! She has hair, so I have been enjoying doing it and getting her to look so girly! She is stubborn, refuses to crawl, she gets on her tummy and makes us think she is going to but then rolls over onto her back...the little stinker! She loves to hold on to my hand and walk her around everywhere, but the moment you let go...she falls down. She doesnt have the confidence in herself yet. She loves music! She can say hi, mama, dada, and copies any sound she hears, its quite funny! If you ask anyone who is around her for longer than 2 min they will tell you she is a complete mamas girl! I luff it but it's hard to get anything done with her around! We love her and are glad she brings her smiley light into our world!
Rog is awesome! He is applying to the MBA program at UVU here in a few weeks! Lets hope he makes it! I have no doubts! So he plans on being able to start the Masters program this upcoming fall which will take his Fri nights and Sat mornings for 2 whole years. Not sure we are ready for that but definately ready for the next chapter financially in our lives! He is also on a city basketball league with a few friends that he enjoys every thursday night! Rog is doing well at his job. We are so greatful that he has it and it can support our growing family without me having to work. He's willing works hard for us, no questions asked! Thanks babe!
Me, I am being a Mom 24/7! I love it but it sure is an adjustment to the system from the free single life once lived! I have found some good friends in the ward that have saved me from total despair! Recently I was in need of some extra help for the post partum blues that I just couldnt shake...so all is well now, I feel like Nicole again! We just started a Biggest Loser challenge with some family and friends so lets hope we are the Biggest Losers so we can look good and get the big money jackpot!!! Still visit with my mom and sisters every wednesday so that our little kiddos get to see grandma and play with eachother! So if you are ever bored on a wed and need something to do...come on down for a crazy filled visit!!!
Well, I guess this has been a long enough update post! I hope you somewhat enjoyed!
P.s. I promise pictures will soon be coming!

Lindsey's Blessing

On May 2, Lindsey received her baby blessing. It was a wonderful experience, and we are grateful to all who were able to show their love and support for our growing family!
