Family

We spent one day while dad was here visiting family. First we headed to Tooele.

Lots of memories from this place when we were little. We loved visiting Tooele! Thought it was the coolest...we rode horses (until I fell off a horse), climbed haystacks, picked fresh apricots! It was nice to go back and visit.

Then we went to visit Uncle Claire and Aunt Marianne in Riverton.

Grandpa's visit

My dad was in St. George on business with his colleague from China, Tang Cai. They drove up to Provo for a visit which was fantastic! It was only the second time Julius has seen Grandpa! We had such a good time...I didn't want them to go!

Tang Cai made us an authentic Chinese meal which included the best dumplings (like potstickers) I've ever had. He was even nice enough to make me a batch to put in my freezer!

A lesson in dumpling making.

Dinner with friends, the Beus's.

Julius was sad to see Grandpa go too.

Easter

These first 4 pictures were taken by my friend Tiffany Garfield again. I just love them!

This is Julius' best friend Kirra (Tiffany's daughter). She's two months younger than Julius. Tiffany and I hang out all the time, as a result, so do Julius and Kirra. But they are finally starting to notice each other! It's very fun! Tiffany snapped a few of the two of them when we were taking their easter pictures.

Trouble

Since becoming mobile he's gotten into a few tight spots. He just yells until someone comes and saves him.

He quickly figured out how to open the cupboard and pull everything out. I really wasn't ready for all the destruction yet!

He knows where the toys are.

Haha! He got stuck...it was pretty funny!

Julius has decided that he doesn't like having his diaper changed anymore. As soon as you get him down and get it off there he goes! And he's quick! Really...it's a two man job now.
