Hooray for a new cousin!

Jen's sister Stacie and her family - Mark, Erik & Aidan - welcomed baby girl Isabelle Jane on April 7th.

She's so cute and we can't wait to go visit and squeeze and hold and love her in person. Elizabeth loves babies...it was her second real word (other than mamma & dad), right after puppy.

We got all these adorable pics from Jen's mom, who got to spend 10 days with the Oliverson family. Grandpa Porter was able to go spend a weekend too.

We're so glad you're here Isabelle!!!

Check out Mark & Stacie's blog for more adorable pictures.

Happy Birthday Daddy Zach!

Lunch with the Alands the day before Zach's actual birthday.

Poor Elizabeth touched something on her highchair and had a reaction that ended in a rash and hives all over her little mouth and cheeks.

Patrice gave Zach an awesome gift basket with lots of goodies, the book Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, and the movie Sherlock Holmes. Thanks Patrice!

Elizabeth and Jen gave Zach a chair-top back massager, the new Hugh Nibley book "One Eternal Round," and the new Truman G. Madsen dvd "In the Holy Land: The Eternal Christ."

And Elizabeth gave her daddy lots of smiles, kisses, and high fives!

She kept putting her crown on her head this way and it looked like a bonnet! How can that face not make you smile?!

Happy Birthday!!! We love you more than most!

Get In My Belly!

We've started to let Elizabeth eat whole fruits. She loves it!

We did cut the skins off half the apple because she kept choking on it, but she did all the rest of the work herself.

The Grandma's (on Jen's side)

We had a fun afternoon hanging out with Grandma Trena and Great-Grandma Elda a few weeks ago.
