We have had a visitor this week, my niece Katherine came up to stay with us and enjoy the wonderful Logan area. This is her and Ammon fishing at the pond that is also in our backyard.

This is the horse track that we look at every time we look out our windows. On the other side of it is the zoo and the pond, all within just a few minutes of walking.

Ammon's new sport is stair climbing, especially when you aren't looking. He has only tried to fall once or twice, but he was in good hands. He doesn't quite get the going down idea, but he will.

Tyeanna is definitely pregnant. I will be finding out what we are having in about a week. Tyeanna doesn't want to know what it is but I do, so I'm going to find out and she isn't. Don't worry the secret will be safe.

Tyeanna is slacking, so I (Darren) am going to update things a little around here. First of all, we are now Loganites. Changing wards of from a yuppie upper class Lindon to small town Logan was almost jaw dropping different, but wonderful. The day we moved in I could have sworn I heard an Owl, the next day we found out that there is a zoo about 100 yards from our house. So now every night I sit and listen to the peacocks, and during the day I watch the horse riders on the horse track right behind our house. Ammon still isn't sure what to think about our new place, although he loves to climb the stairs. He still hasn't figured out how to go down them yet. He is sooo funny because he can pull himself to his feet now, and when he gets giggly while standing he starts to fall and do the splits or straddles and laughs even harder. We can't keep the little guy out of anything any more.
We love it here, but we miss every-one at home. Tyeanna is doing awesome. We have found some cool camping spots if anyone is up to it.

Pictures Below

We went to Bear Lake for a weekend in April so Darren could check out the college and we could look for housing. Tessa showed us around the neighborhood and hooked us up with a great tour of the Wildlife Resources department. The pictures below are from our condo in Bear Lake. Ammon was crawling on his tip toes like he use to do. Now he is crawling more on his toes, knees and pulling himself with his arms. The second picture is of his adorable swimming trunks that Mimi game him for Easter. We had to try them out in the pool even though it was snowing outside. Ammon liked the water but didn't like all the noise from the other screaming children. The last picture is of Darren reading some funny emails. He had his mom and Grandma rolling on the ground and they were all crying from laughing so hard. I just sat back and laughed at them. It was hilarious. We had a great time!

A Weekend Away

1-2-3

When Tintsy wants something, he knows how to get it.

1. REACH

2. PUSH OFF

3. GET IT!!!

Buddies

My friend Sheana had a baby just a few months after me. Can you believe the difference in size!! Her baby is a squirmer and so active. I thought Ammon was an active baby but not compared to him. I think it's fun to see how chunky Ammon is here compared to Brennan. Brennan had a fun 'jumper' car that Ammon just loved!

Sleeping like a Baby

My baby loves to sleep sideways in his crib. Every morning I go in and he's found some uncomfortable new position to sleep in. I wish I could sleep like this!

Pull-Ups

On 4/08/09 Ammon started pulling himself up on things. I love these pictures. I think they're so adorable. He was so proud of himself but I was worried that the chair was going to topple over on him.

Push-ups

Ammon started doing push-ups and going up on his toes about the beginning of April. It was so fun to see him trying to reach for things. He could move his toes forward but couldn't move his hands yet.

Jammin'

Ammon has been jammin' out to anything that resembles a beat. It was so funny the other day when I was washing dishes. Every time the dishwasher noise would change he would start rocking back and forth to the beat. Today the washer was swishing and he was on his hands and knees rocking out exactly to the beat. It's so fun to watch him and he just giggles the whole time. I love it!
