Bryce and Russ doing a puzzle after church one Sunday. I took this picture because I thought it was a sweet moment between these two. Bryce is definitely a Mama's boy so I love to see them do things together.

This boy loves wearing sunglasses when it's bright out. He says "I'm bright." instead of the sun is bright.

Annual dental hygiene conference with some of my sweet friends from hygiene school It has been years but when we get together we don't skip a beat.

My parents and grandparents came up to visit for Bryce's birthday and to do some wedding stuff with Tanner and Lauren. We had fun going to Disney on Ice with Russ' grandparents, mom and niece Mccall along with my family. Bryce also got to play with Papa at the Dinosaur Museum.

Tanner and Lauren's bridesmaid dress.

Sunday bike ride to the park. We started to walk to the lake but realized it was further than we thought.

Bryce's 3 year check up. He was not interested in getting measured by the nurse but he did love playing the doctor's tools. 

3 year stats:

-30.8 lbs (40%)

-36 3/4 in (32%)

and healthy as can be!

Spring wouldn't be complete without a visit to the farm to see the baby animals.

 Bridal shower for one of the girls I work with. As I was driving down the freeway my vision started to go. I was like I look at something silver with the sun reflecting off of it. I couldn't see and I was so scared. We figured it was an ocular migraine and hasn't happened since but it terrified me.

Two of Russ' siblings live right next to the Payson temple. We stopped by on our way to visit his parents one Sunday. It was so beautiful with all of the blossoms nearby. And Russ has started wearing this shirt a lot. It starts to make an appearance in lots of photos. He has been asked several times if he works at the gym. haha. Russ' mom had a friend draw her a beautiful sketch of Olivia's feet in the hand of Jesus.

We have been trying to do FHE more. We are working on getting Bryce to recognize the Prophet and his name. Russ and I are also working on baby blankets to donate to Angel Watch for Olivia's one year birthday. And yes, that is Russ using a sewing machine! So proud of him for wanting to be involved.

3 out of 3 for temple service this  year! This is a big goal for Russ and I

This month we found out we are expecting a baby!!!! I'll save the details for a different post.

BYU spring scrimmage. They allowed the kids on the field to run drills and play with the team before the practice. Needless to say, Bryce was in heaven. He even got to take a picture with Cosmo.

Olivia's birthday rounded out our month. I did a separate post for her celebration but the actual day was busy and full of perfection. Our block has an annual egg hunt with brunch. Bryce loved picking up eggs and we enjoyed visiting with our neighbors. We had all our family at the cemetery for Olivia's celebration in the afternoon. To end the day I went with Lauren and her visiting teachers to women's conference at the conference center in Salt Lake.

And a few of my favorite quotes I found this month:
"Trust God and believe in good things to come." - Jeffrey R. Holland
"I plead with you to control your tempers,... speak out with words of love and peace, appreciation, and respect. If you will do this, your lives will be without regret. Your marriages and family relationships will be preserved. You will be much happier." -Gordon B. Hinckley

 This month was crazy between Bryce and Olivia's birthday and finding out we were expecting. I was very emotional. It was happy and sad. I am upset with myself I didn't record my feelings as I went but now that they are dulled with time I remember more of the happy than the sad.
