Where are all the Tulips?

Last weekend my parents came into town. We were so excited to take them to Thanksgiving Point to the Tulip Festival and had told them how beautiful it was. So Friday morning we arrived at the gardens but because it has been so stinking cold, only 20% of the flowers had bloosomed! It was still a pretty day and fun to roam the gardens but as you can tell, spring still looked a few weeks away. Oh well!

We had to take some pictures by some of the few tulips that had come up.

If you follow the Richter grand children, you know that my nephew Carson just adores my dad. So from the start mom has been working on making sure she was Crew's favorite and all the hard work has paid off. Crew loves my mom and although he still likes grandpa, he is grandma's boy.
Crew is at a fun age right now too because he gets really excited about things. He loved the waterfalls!

I love my little man!
Crew and Grandpa. To any of you who are in Utah or are coming up soon, you really should go see the gardens sometime. This was last year. Amazing huh!

Another pic from last year. Crew is so little! Anyway, we still had a great weekend with my parents and already miss them!

Finally a taste of Spring!

The past few days have been so nice and we have loved it! Of course today is back to crazy Utah weather but last Saturday was the BYU football Blue and White game. We went for just a little while but it felt great to be outside in the sun!

Catching Up

Here are just a few pictures to let you know what has been going on over the past couple weeks...

Two weeks ago, Crew and his buddy Andi , went to the Kangaroo Zoo in Pleasant Grove. Crew spent more time just running around all the blow-up toys and eating fishes than going on anything but it was still a fun day. This is Andi and Crew during a snack break.

We got to spend a whole afternoon with the Brutsch's not too long ago and this picture cracks me up! Our little fuzzy headed and white naked boys are too cute. Cason's belly is cute too!

Last Tuesday we got to play with Cason for a couple hours in the morning while Lauren went to an appointment. Crew was nice enough to share his castle with Cason and I love that they both have toothbrushes in hand. What funny boys.

Ok, now for conference weekend. We were so excited to have Brandon, Kendria and Deacon Holyoak come and stay with us for the weekend. Brandon and Matt served together in Samoa and it is so funny that Brandon and I grew up just a street away! Deacon is hillarious and we really enjoyed having them with us. This picture is from Saturday morning session. Deacon, who is 8 months old, was playing with our friends the Hunter's little girl Miley, who is 9 months old. I guess Crew thought he was too cool or too old to play with them so he was just observing from behind. They all got along great though.

Crew has discovered bubbles and loves them! So now every bath is a bubble bath and he just can't get enough of them!

Now for bubbles on land. Matt parents were up this week too and Grandpa brought bubbles. Crew is swatting at them with a spatula and whenever he is getting cranky I just bust out the bubbles and he is instantly happy!

It was so fun to have Dave and Becky up for the week. Crew just adores them and we miss them already!
