All About Reed

Reed's personality continues to shine through, and there isn't a day that passes that he isn't into a little mischief or one where he doesn't make us laugh. Reed loves to make messes and eat things he shouldn't. He is starting to say more and is frequently found saying Da Da as he crawls around the house. He also can say Ma Ma, although it's not heard often and I could swear that he said brother the other day. Tonight we were out having fun and actually snapped a picture of him standing up on his own, he'll be walking before we know it, and you'd be amazed at how fast he climbs our stairs, if only he could safely climb back down. I have a feeling he inherited his Dad's sense of humor and goofy moves.

A Weekend Away

We enjoyed spending a few days with Ross's parents in April. During our stay we took the chance to go and see Cauldron falls near Murtaugh. Michael and Julie were also able to come over and we enjoyed playing games and a night out to dinner.

A Visit to Neola

After our visit to Twin we traveled to Neola. On our way down we were able to attend my cousin Scott and his new wife's wedding reception - it was beautiful. While we were in town we were able to get in on all the action of the annual branding and vaccination of my Dad's cattle. We thought Dallin would love it, but I guess he is a little young for bellering calves, burning flesh, and more. He loved his time with his cousins though, he idolizes Kolby! We stayed the night at Missy and Tommy's and the boys were thrilled to have a sleep over. Ross was able to also meet Jared, Hailey's fiancee; it was amazing to all be together, and to see how much our family has and continues to change with the two new additions.

In the Lords Hands

You could say that this past Wednesday was a faith building day for our family as we were reminded that we are all watched over and comforted in times of trial. My brother, 14 year old Luke, was terribly sick. My parents thought that he had a bad flu and was suffering from the chills, but as he started to complain that his heart had been beating hard for more than 24 hours they went to the ER. He was monitored and immediately transferred to a more specialized zone where his heart had to be shocked back into rhythm. The doctors believe his heart was in heart attack mode for many hours, and amazed that he was alive. His heart had been pumping so fast that it was unable to preform normal function and had literally stopped producing blood, his skin was tight to his body as his body basically was shutting down. Later he related the experience from the night before telling my parents that he felt as if he were going to heaven. The doctors believe that he has a short circuit in his heart and he will be having an operation at Primary Children's Hospital this week. What a marvel modern day medicine is. We love you Luke and pray for your recovery.

Congrats Hailey and Jared

My little sis, Hailey, finally got her ring, Jared actually was very timely but Hailey was extremely anxious as she is head over heals in love. I simply love that he put her to work all morning and then took her fishing so she was as dirty as can be for the special occasion! We are so thrilled for the two of you, and know that you will be so happy. What a year for weddings this will be 3 within six months for our Hyatt/Crozier family.

A Fun & Busy Weekend

Yeah! Tax season if officially over and we were able to spend some time with Ross this weekend. My sister Hailey drove up from Logan on Thursday and we had a great time catching up. We went to Planet Kid Thursday and the Boise Zoo on Friday. Dallin was standing right behind the lion, poking at the glass, when all of a sudden the lion powerfully pawed at him. All the visitor jumped back, all except Dallin, he stood wide mouth and laughing at the unexpected moment. Saturday Ross and I spend the day with our realtor and put an offer on a home, it could take up to two months to find out if we'll be able to purchase it but we are hopeful. To top it off the weather was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed a long walk to the park! Thanks for coming up Hay, can't wait to see you again.

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter Weekend with the Hyatt Family. Julie and Michael were with us at Mom and Dad's and although our stay was short we were able to get in a couple games and we had fun with the kids on Easter. Getting the Easter Eggs ready was so fun, Dallin and I had a good time, the yellow eggs were his favorite and he loved his Car's stickers! Reed slept soundly through the festivities and simply looks perfect lying on his little tummy. Easter morning proved to be a success, the Easter Bunny did well as Dallin was thrilled with his fishing game and Reed was simply his happy self - not quite knowing what was going on. Mom and Dad got the kids some summer pj's and they look so cute in them. I would have to say that the hightlight was the joy in the Easter Egg Hunt. Each time Dallin found an egg he would get so excited and when he found a plastic egg filled wiht jelly beans he would jump up and down happy proclaiming to the world, "jelly beans jelly beans jelly beans".
