Brother in Germany!

I just wanted to talk about my little brother Elder Evan Blair. He is on his mission in Germany and comes home next year. He is doing so great out there! Everyone loves him to pieces and he loves serving for the Lord everyday! I am so very grateful for the great example he is to me! I'm so grateful that he is my little brother! He has always been so positive about everything and so uplifting. Evan had some problems with his foot and had to stay in the mission home for a while and try to keep his foot up and he had a hard time with that but he really was still able to be positive and new that he needed to be where he was for a reason. Everything really does happen for a reason! I love being able to email him and hear all of his wonderful stories and all of the lives he has touched! So basically.....I absolutely love my little brother!!! We are so proud of you Ev!

Random.....

He LOVES to play the piano ALL the time!!

I lOVE his face in this picture! Swimming at the Lehi Legacy Center!

He wasn't too sure about all of those bubbles!

Picnic in our backyard!

This was on Easter weekend at my parents house in Manti! I didn't get to post anything about Easter! But here is at least one pic.

Andrew is walking!!

Well Andrew is officially walking now! Yay! Of course it happened when I wasn't home!!! I was at my sister's baby shower and I looked at my phone and Chad sent me a text saying he was walking. I called him and said ya right. My brother and his 3 year old were at my house with Chad & Andrew. I told my brother last night that he would start walking because he was around his 3 year old Alana all day today. But I was joking around. I wasn't serious. It's just so funny how it happened when I wasn't there and when I try all day everyday to get him to walk. Chad said that Andrew just got up and started to walk towards Alana to play with a ball. I promise I really am so excited that he is walking. Less carrying for me to do and more things he gets to get in to! He is almost 14 months old! He is growing so fast everyday and I love how he says and does new things every day! Andrew is so much fun and the joy of my life! Here comes a whole new phase of life!!!

My second diaper cake!

This is the back of the cake!

I made this diaper cake for my sister Mindy who is having her 4th child. I did the blue and brown colors to match his bedding. This is my second diaper cake I have made. On this cake I rolled each diaper. There are 66 diapers. It took me about 3 hours or so. It was fun making it! I think the best part was finding all of the fun ribbon and different fun things to put on it and in it. If anyone wants a diaper cake.....I wouldn't mind making it.

Busy Busy and Andrew got burnt.....

(This isn't the best picture but he wouldn't let us take any of him. You can see both burns on his face and on his arm.)

Well, can I just say this weekend we were very busy! It all started Friday morning. Andrew some how got a hold of my flat iron and BURNT both cheeks and on his arm. The one on his arm is about the size of a nickel and a couple smaller ones. I don't have a CLUE on how he got a hold of it. I even had the cord up on the counter in the back. He must have grown like 5 inches just standing there! I of course was flipping out. I tried to stay calm and it's so hard to! I just cried and told Chad to come home to help me. I sat there thinking...how am I going to take care of 3 kids when one of them gets hurt like this?? I guess it will all work out. That's till a ways down the road. I put cold wash cloths on it and then aloe vera and then neosporn. I talked to his nurse and thats what she told me to do. I hadn't gotten ready for the day yet and we had a graduation to go to in a hour. I didn't know how I was going to make it when Andrew just wanted me to hold him! He cried for about a good thirty minutes and then calmed down after I gave him lunch. Then he was playing again but I HAD to be in the room with him.
Anyways, he is doing much better now. They are just scabbing over and we are putting aloe vera plant on them all day long. He is such a strong boy! I just pray they don't leave any scars! I know baby's body's are fast healers and very strong!

We ended up on making it to the graduation of Chad's really close friend! It went well! That night Chad had to work for a while and got off early and came home. Saturday morning got up and dropped Andrew off at Grandpa's house to get watched while we went to the Draper Temple to be there for my Cousin Merrissa as she went through the Temple. It was so amazing!
After we went to get Andrew and went to a BBQ at my cousins house to celebrate! Then Chad went to work and I went home to do Young Women's stuff. It was a very great weekend but busy! Overall we are all safe and Andrew is doing SO much better!
Thanks to everyone for giving us advice on how to take care of Andrew's burns!!
