Everything happens at once!

         (I have listed what has been happening then the pictures follow).

         Well the long await for Elder Bird happened. He was suppose to fly in at 1:00 pm but his plane had problems so we had to wait even longer until 4:00 pm.  It's good to have him back! Welcome Home Mitchy!!
         Dayton's first Easter came and left so fast good thing we got pictures for the event.  We gave him his first tractor and the Easter bunny treated him well too with new toys he will soon one day appreciate. (He hasn't figured them out yet).
        Alicia and Andrew got their baby on April 7, 2010. (Exactly 3 months after Dayton was born).  His name is Carson Scott Archibald.  Weighing 8 lbs 8 oz with long BLOND hair. We are happy that after the fever scare and making a visit in the NICU for about 5 days, he was released to go home with his mommy and daddy last Sunday. 
         Dayton's Blessing and Mitchell's homecoming talk were both last sunday. I kept joking about "hitting two 'Birds' with one stone". It was a wonderful day.  It was so nice to have the love and support of all the family members who came the long distance to be here.  We know it is quite a drive to get here so we really appreciate and love you all. (And those who couldn't come...my immediate family we missed were; Shelley, Riley, Scott and Sophie because they live in Colorado.  And for more obvious reasons we missed Alica, Andrew and new little Carson.  (Great) Grandpa Bill also missed because he didn't feel well.  We know you all would have loved to come but we will see you all hopefully soon)!  Oh yeah the day before his blessing, Dayton gave us his first belly laugh. It was so cute.  Luckily Blaine and I were both around for it.  Blaine was singing for Dayton and I was holding him and he laughed pretty loud for his daddy.  He is also cooing for us alot more now that he can focus on us.  He loves to watch us move and walk acound.  He is starting to get a bald spot on the back of his head from looking back and forth.  He is the highlight of our lives. And rightly so!!
         The house is almost ready after a long time out.  The power is about all we are waiting on now.  I went to the house and started to clean all the counters and cupboards in preparation for the move. It will be so nice to finally be settled and relaxed in our new home.

Happy Easter Dayton!

Easter Sunday with cousins Madison and Keathen.  We had a fun time getting ALL the family together again for Easter and Confrence.

Dayton's blessing.

He did so good during the blessing, he didn't even cry.  Blaine and I expected him to cry but he did awesome.  Although right after the blessing during the sacrement Blaine was holding him and he had a massive blow out of the front and back.  Good thing for being a crazy over perpared person, I had a extra pair of pants and shirt for him.
