Easter

Here are some Easter pictures. We sure had fun on Easter. Chris came over for dinner and also got to see Makenzie hunt for her easter eggs. Also, Toby and I have decided to leave our kids and come on the trek. We are excited! So we will see some of you there.

Evelyn Lately

Hey ya'll! We made our blog private a couple months ago and I have been slowly adding email addresses to invite people who want to see it. I sent a bunch of invites today for the people who regularly post on the blog. If you know anybody in the fam who can't get on our blog and would like to, just leave a comment on this or my blog or email me and let me know.

So here is a couple of pictures of me and Evie in the last couple months. She is 8 months old. I can't believe it! She is so cute and fun and likes to say dadadada and eat and grab everything and roll all over the floor. So fun! I think she is finally teething and I think all of her teeth on the top are coming in at the same time (well, like 6 of them) - we shall see! Check out those blue eyes! She got those from her daddy!


I love this blog! It's so fun to see what everyone is up to!

They grow up so fast! She is darling. I loved the picture on your blog when you are holding her and taking a picture of her and you. I do that too.

 

 LaVerne Bird said on Sun Mar 23, 07:51:00 PM PDT:

She is growing up so fast. So cute.

I can't get into your blog. It says the invitation has expired.

I haven't been able to post of this blog for awhile. Alan figured out what is wrong tonight.

I still need a picture of the three of you.
Love
Grandma B

I'm Getting Married!

Hey family! So to the surprise of most of you...I'M GETTING MARRIED!~ His name is France Nielson (named after his dad's mission) and he is a farmboy from Blanding, UT. He and I met on OCT. 7th 2004 and have just realized that we were made for each other :). Hahaha. It's all about the Lord's timing huh?

SO the wedding will be on JULY 19th, 2008 in the Salt Lake City Temple which we figured would be a great central location for both families, I have apologized to most heads of the households for the close proximity of the date to the trek! But just so you all know, I'm sorry! Hahaha, he starts school up again (he's in dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University) the first week of August, and hopefully I will start Law School at the University of Richmond that week as well (cross your fingers!). We were trying to do it around the trek but the SL Temple will be closed for cleaning at that time. SO the 19th it is! We have a blog now that is very plain but will start to grow as the wedding plans get under way. Franceandlindsay.blogspot.com.

So I LOVE YOU ALL AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE IF HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!

We are excited for you Lindsay!!! And we are excited that we won't have to travel for the wedding! Let us know if you need any help at the reception. Sorry, I just made the same comment on your blog.

 

 LaVerne Bird said on Sun Mar 23, 07:56:00 PM PDT:

Hope you had a great weekend.
Let me know what your reception colors are.
I still think he looks like your Dad.
Did you get the ring?

 Alan Bird said on Fri Mar 14, 03:21:00 PM PDT:

Congratulations! That's really great. I'm sure it will be an interesting place to serve a mission.

 

 Kelsey said on Sun Mar 16, 01:54:00 PM PDT:

Hey Wes man when you get back you'll probably be say`in stuff like Ya Mon or some other lingo that i am not aware yet. A good buddy of mine actually went to the West Indies on his mission he said that they wore white T shirts and khaki shorts and their transportation were boats, canoes, anything water related. Other then that have fun Mon

 

 Lindsay Bird said on Mon Mar 17, 08:05:00 AM PDT:

DUDE!!! That is soooooo coooooool! The West Indies huh? I hope your family gets to pick you up after! :) Goodness, I'LL pick you up after!!

Sledding

Adam went sledding for the first time when the Forester side of the family came to Rexburg. He was too overwhelmed to show emotion apparently during the event.

Alisha, they are so cute I want to pick them up and hug them!

 

Sea World!

Ok- I don't know about you all- but I'm tired of opening up the blog and seeing a couple of sweaty guys in matching shirts. No offense guys- but you just aren't as cute as my kids. :)
We made a trip down to San Diego and had a blast with Uncle Alan, Aunt Melanie, Ryan and Kara. Aunt M helped me make a quilt and it turned out really cute. We also went to Sea World and watched a very interesting Shamu show in which a Pelican decided that Shamu's tank was the place to land and Shamu ended up having an extra little snack during the show. Ask my kids what Shamu eats and they will tell you, "Pelicans." They used to say, "fish." But we had a lot of fun anyway.

I wish I could have gone with you guys, but it sure was fun to video chat with you while you were at my parents house. Your kids are so cute! I was planing on posting earlier tonight, but I couldn't get it to work. It's a good thing because I loved your comment about the sweaty guys! If I get pictures up, I'm sorry to cover yours so quick.

 

 Alan Bird said on Mon Mar 03, 04:29:00 PM PST:

That's me in the top photo on the left with my best side to the camera.

As we saw the pelican fly in and land on the water, Melanie asked me, "Do you think Shamu likes pelican?" Her question was immediately answered.
