Daddy's Birthday

This year for Brett's birthday we were going to stay in, eat pizza and watch the Jazz game (which we did along with my parents who came for dessert) but somehow the day before his birthday we ended up seeing the Hobbit and going to Red Robin for dinner. Brett ordered his favorite, Burnin' Love Burger!!

I told the waitress it was his birthday and I thought he was going to kick me under the table...hehe!

The dinner and (free) dessert were delicious and it was nice to get out.
And the Hobbit was good even though I slept through the first 30 minutes. That is a long movie!

A couple nights later we celebrated with the Keetch's by watching the BYU bowl game and eating cake!!

BYU Spring Game

Every year Brett gets so excited to see BYU play in the spring. Last year it was freezing and wet so we were excited this year when the sun was shining and everything was dry. Afton loves running around with her cousins and had so much fun after the game throwing around a little football.

Brett's cousin Joe is one of the coaches so we get to hang out and the boys get the inside scoop!

Baby bird

I can't believe how many birds nests we've had in our trees this year.

It's so much fun to watch the nest come together and you can't help but pay attention to the momma bird coming and going.

The sound of the babies draws you in and most of the nests were low enough that we could actually peek in.

This particular nest was a little higher and the tree less stable. One day Brett and Afton were outside and all three babies fell out of the nest. Brett carefully tried to get them back in (which he did) but we eventually found one dead in the sandbox.

Another birthday

Brett's birthday (37 WOW) happened to be on the same day as a BYU game so we dressed up, headed to the Keetch's and celebrated with burgers, cupcakes, and a fun football game. Brett will take any chance he gets to dress Afton in her little BYU cheer outfit and she loves wearing it.

Afton loves spending time with her dad and as you can see, blowing out the candles, even when they are someone else's. Brett didn't mind.

My camera battery died after a few minutes but luckily Tiff had her camera. Thanks Tiff for the great photos.

Sunday snow storm

Brett and Afton spent a good portion of the day playing outside in the freshly fallen snow. Afton loved wearing her hat and gloves but got frustrated when the snow stuck to the bottom of her boots.

Brett was like a little kid, rolling snow into a ball and devising a plan to make a snow hill big enough for all of us.

They rolled snowball after snowball toward the garden and soon enough a hill started to form.
Afton loved climbing to the top for a rest!

I think this poor kid needs some snow pants!

Goin' in for the kill... I mean cauliflower!

Father's Day

A Day With Dad!

I LOVE hanging out with Dad!
He lets me sit on his lap,

and helps me drink milk from a bottle!

He encourages my spit bubbles,

and even lets me borrow his hat!
Hanging out with Dad is fun!
