baskets full of eggs...

our easter was filled with reminders of our savior, family, first easter baskets, first egg hunts, first reese's peanut butter cups and a whole lot of love...
bragging moment: camden is such a toddler these days, hands and knees crawling around everywhere (i wasn't sure that i would necessarily like this stage all that much, with the chasing around, but he is still our observer and takes things at a slower pace, besides the fact that i think having those 4 extra months to take it in and gear up to it helped me to be more and more excited about it, and i am happy to say we are loving the crawling thing)...attempting the bottom steps on his own, signing (most consistently more, with his thumbs though, and doggie...but he has also begun using dad, milk, grandpa, hurt all in correct context although not as frequently as doggie and more...i have also seen the sign for cracker and water although i don't think he understands the context), mimicking sounds, and he even started saying mama on demand...that's right, i say mama...camden says mama. he learned how to do the "indian call" (you know the hand on and off your mouth to change the rhythm of your voice). mom brushes her hair or teeth, camden brushes his hair or teeth. he understands simple commands, like "camden look at mommy", "sit up", "come here", "kisses" (he loves to kiss the people and animals in his books as well as his own little reflection...vain?) and he knows he shouldn't do something by the tone of my voice, although that doesn't seem to stop him for more than a second to look over at me. all in all he is getting bigger (by that i mean older) each and every day and we are loving every new little phase.

in bloom...

happy late easter all! bb and i spent the weekend in idaho enjoying some much needed time with his familia...easter weekend was full of fun adventures including the titanic exhibit at the idaho falls museum...dinner out with the bushes...ice cream with skyler and becky and easter sunday madness! needless to say we are very thankful to have billy's family close enough to spend quick holidays with them! :)

on a side note...when we left our home in utah for the weekend it was still yucky outside and i must say i wasn't feelin' the whole spring time thing...i was longing to see some pretty colors and green grass, starting to get a little depressed...and then....when i got into work this morning i was so excited because the trees outside my office were in bloom just for me! :) YAY for spring! so now i'm happy as can be on this sunny monday morning and thought i would share some of my blooms with you...in case you haven't seen any for yourself yet....
lovely.

too tired to eat chocolate...

today is the official three year anniversary of bb's proposal...

he proposed on good friday, right before midnight...

he hid the ring in one of these little babies....
our courtship took place over a series of months switching off between idaho falls and salt lake city...

i went up to idaho for easter weekend....

he lied to me and said the ring wouldn't be in for two more weeks...

i was hoping that he was lying but didn't want to get my hopes up....

he was so excited that he couldn't even wait til the morning to ask me....

i was zonked...and completely oblivious....

he had to eat the chocolate easter eggs himself because i was too tired for chocolate...

he asked me to unwrap one for him...

still oblivious....i handed the unwrapped egg back...

he asked me to open it...

subsequently thought...oh my gosh...seriously?
pulled out the ring...and thought to myself....too tired to eat chocolate...of all the nights to be too tired to eat chocolate!!!!!

bb popped the question...even though he already knew my answer...and we all know the ending to this little story....
