Peek-A-Boo

My cute sister-in-law watched Blake for me last week and she took pictures of him playing his favorite game. Blake loves to play peek-a-boo and he will play it over and over and over again. He laughs the hardest when he is the one holding the blanket. I sure love this little guy! Thanks Nikki for the cute pictures!

JaneDear Girls...Radio Tour

The JaneDear Girls made a stop in Salt Lake last week as part of their radio tour. The girls have been traveling around the country promoting their new single "Wildflower."
John's dad gathered quite a crowd to meet the girls at their hotel. They signed JaneDear hats for the kids and let everyone check out their tour bus.

This picture makes me laugh. The cute little boy is John's cousins son, Garrett. He has a huge crush on Danelle and even has her on his "girlfriend list." Look at his face...he's in love! He gave Danelle a purple flower (her favorite color) to wear in her hair.

The girls went to a couple of radio stations and we were able to go to KBULL 93 and sit in the "BullPen" while the girls put on a concert. They did a great job and it was so fun to see them in action.




Their single "Wildflower" will start playing on the radio on April 26th!!!

Spring Break

The girls had some time off school a couple of weeks ago for spring break, so we flew to Nashville and then drove to one of our favorite vacation spots: Pigeon Forge. It is the cutest town about 3 hours east of Nashville. If I lived closer, I'd definitely want a vacation home there!
We were so nervous about taking Blake on the plane, but he did great. He stayed wide awake the entire plane ride. He wasn't about to miss a single minute of his first flight! Here he is checking out the safety manual.

Last time we went to Pigeon Forge, we took the girls to Dollywood and they have talked about it ever since, so we had to go back. This is the shuttle ride into the park. Blake was all lubed up with sunscreen, so he's kind of shiny!



While we were gone, a huge snow storm swept through Salt Lake. We were so happy to miss it! It was 84 degrees, sunny and perfect! Blake got a little warm, so we stripped him down to his diaper to help cool him off.


Look at Kensie's face in these next few pictures. She hates slowing down to get her picture taken...




Blake's very first ride!

This one was especially painful!

We were getting ready to leave Dollywood and Kensie found this rock and ASKED me to take a picture of her. I was shocked and laughed so hard when I saw how cute she can be when she wants to!


Blake thought this was the greatest ride in the whole park!



Blake's first Easter


Nashville has the coolest hotel: Gaylord Opryland. This was the view from our room:


Daddy and Blake sitting out on our patio in the hotel on the last night...Do you think we wore him out? He looks exhausted!

I was talking about Blake, not John, Ha! Ha!
