Redd's Birthday

Redd had a Football party this year.

We invited all his cousins, aunts, uncles,

and grandparents.

Jadon, Dallin, Ava, Tayah

Jax, Griffin, Brad Chloe, Redd, Ava & Tayah Jon, Bailee, Andria, Bart Jackie, Duane, Joni Getting ready for the Balloon Pop game. Round 1: Big Kids & Redd Round 2: Little Kids & ReddNone of the kids even tried to pop Redd's balloon.

When it finally popped on the grass.

He cried and went to Granny for a love. Then we played our football version

of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey."

The kids had to try to

"Kick a Field Goal"

with their little footballs.

Present Time!Football Pinata!

Redd needed a few helpers

to blow out his candles this year!

Riding his cool new Bike!

On his birthday Judd and I

gave him our present..

a train!

He also had a package waiting

for him in the mail from

his cousins in California. After singing "Happy Birthday"

he decided to sing

his own version to himself..

"Aber Cupcake, Aber Cupcake"

This time he had no problem

blowing out his candle!

Happy Birthday Reddy Bear!

Mother's Day

On Saturday before Mother's day

Bonnie planned to get together & go

to a soccer game.

It was a great game & Real even won! Uncle Jake carried Redd all the way back

to the car after the game.

Bonnie treated us to a delightful pizza dinner after the game. Look at my sweet little girl! And notice my sweet husband coloring in the background. So the day of Mother's Day was quite interesting at our house. We woke up to Redd having some serious pink eyes that were all goopy. We skipped church & took him into the doctor. And yes, he had pink eye.. so no visiting the Grandmas. When we got back I was wrestling with him on the floor and he ended up standing over me. Yikes.. next thing I know, his foot (including shoe) was being stomped right on my eye. Lucky for me, I was wearing my glasses so they got jammed into my eyeball, leaving me with a beautiful black eye! What a sweet present from my cute little boy!

Oddball Pictures

This post is mostly for me...

just so I can remember the

randomness of my little Redd!

He finally got to play the Wii at

Granny Deb's & now he thinks

it's his turn everytime!

He will even climb up on the

Wii Fit board with you..

that makes for some interesting scores!

Vacuuming at Grandma Bonnie's.

He isn't afraid of their vacuum because it's so quiet.

Plus it was just the right size!

Right now, Redd is obessed with sports.

He talks about sports constantly.

He has a favorite team for each sport.

Football: Utes

Basketball: Jazz

Baseball: Dodgers

Soccer: well just the word Soccer!

(it's funny how those teams seem to

correspond with the one's his dad likes!)

Redd loves his cousins & talks about them

all the time. (even his cute California cousins

who he only gets to see every once in a while)

Judd is always out with the kids.

I feel so bad when he has to work long

hours because he loves to spend time with

Redd. All the Littles know that on Sunday

Judd is the guy to ask for a push on the swing.

Judd had to run an errand and Redd

was super sad he couldn't go.

He kept going to the door & asking for

Daddy. He finally curled up and

fell asleep waiting for Dad to come home!

Easter

Brad, Jadon, and Cord PC Easter Egg Hunt

Super excited to go!

Redd wasn't quite sure what to do at first,

but caught on pretty fast!

He even stopped in the middle to say

"cank ku" (thank you)

Redd, Cooper, Brad, Berkely, Griffin, Jax, and Jadon

Easter Morning

Redd woke up easter morning

jumping up and down in his bed...

he was super excited to find

the eggs all around the living room!

His mouth was so full of 'cany'

he couldn't even smile for me! Costley Egg Hunt

After this egg hunt, Redd wouldn't

put down his basket, we had to

take it and dump the candy so he

could jump on the tramp with it!

Cooper, Jax, Redd and Griffin

Peterson Egg Hunt

At this hunt, Redd found a blue

egg that said "Go BYU."

Dad told him to leave it on the ground

But Reddy Bear couldn't pass up the candy. We had a fabulous Easter

thanks to our wonderful families!

Love you!

Icecream

Every year in April we have

LDS General Conference.

On Saturday night, there is a special

session for just the men...

so we go out to eat with all the girls & kids.

This year my mom took us to a crazy

little mexican place in a shady part

of town.. but the guacamole was delightful!

After, we took the kids to get icecream

at our favorite...FARR'SRedd and Berkley Cooper, Tayah, Dallin and Brad

Sleep Over

Jax got a little suitcase for his birthday

in January & kept asking when he could use it

to have a sleep-over at Reddy Bear's.

Spring break was perfect, with Judd working

late and me having a few extra days off!

We decided it would be more fun with

all three Parker Butts.

So we had them over for pizza, movies,

a giant bed on the living room floor

& lots of basketball!Jax, Redd, Griffin & Jadon
