Welcome Violet Rachelle Cook!!

Way to go Anjelena!!! You would never think that this is her sixth after seeing this picture eh?

Here is a couple pictures of Violet Rachelle Cook. We are so happy she is here!!!

Kezia with her cool cousin Chase! As you can see Chase is getting so big. When I saw him at the hospital I just couldn't believe how big he was. The little boy is no longer there!!!

Sisters in Zion Fun

On May 1st, a few of my missionary companions and friends put together a little get together. It was fun! From left to right is Hermana Smith, Hermana Wilson, Hermana Elmer, Hermana Anderson, Hermana Thatcher, and me.

Here we are playing Rock Band!

Here is Kezia and Felicity. They are about a week apart.

Random pictures of Kezia

Kezia eating her prunes!!
Here are some good ones!

Moab Fun!

On April 23rd, we went to Moab with Janelle, Dean, and Davis Ayala, Michelle, Emmanuel, and Emma Knowles, and Charise and Greg Balls. It was really fun and our little ones were definately troopers. They did so good...especially during the day. Kezia loved her carrier and loved being outside and seeing all the cool things.

Janelle, Dean, me and Bret with our kids barely made it to Landscape Arch. It was so windy and we were getting beaten up by the sand. Luckily, I was able to get a few pictures of it.

This was on our way to Sand dune arch.


Here is a picture of Bret, Kezia, and I under Delicate Arch. Yeah we look like midgets! It's incredible!!

My friends are so cool that they watched Kezia while me, Bret, and Emmanuel went on a bike ride to Gemini Bridges. We thought it was going to be so awesome. Well, to make a long story short it was a crazy day!! We lost Emmanuel almost at the begining of the ride, we came to a T in the road and couldn't figure out which way to go and our friends couldn't find our truck to shuttle it down for us. Kezia was screaming...which is not like her at all. This is a picture of Bret and I at Gemini Bridges.This is us waiting for our friends to pick us up at the bottom of the trail where our truck should have been. :-) Yeah, Emmanuel was nowhere to be found.

Our great husbands packing around the kids. Dean and Davis Ayala on the left, Bret and Kezia, and Emmanuel and Emma on the right.

Here's the gang! I've got the best friends ever!!!
Here are just a couple of cute pictures of Kezia. She's growing up so fast!!!

Happy Easter!!

Ok, the bad thing about having a fun camera to play with is you take lots of fun pictures. I hope you enjoy these from Kezia's first Easter!!

Kezia's Easter basket and cute little dress

Kezia liked to play with the grass!

And her spoons

I had to put this picture on so that you could see that daddy didn't really care that her hair was all crazy...as usual.

There, mommy fixed the hair

Kezia likes things on her head and doesn't attempt to take them off unless she is tired.

I thought this was cute!

We are getting Kezia use to wearing her hat so when we go to Moab. These were my favorite ones.

Fun in the Sun!!!

Yesterday, Janelle & I had a blast roaming the great streets of Salt Lake City looking for great places to take pictures of our beautiful babies!!! We went to the State Capitol, Memory Grove and Temple Square! We ran our kids to the ground! Here are a few of the adorable pictures of Kezia!!!



This is Kezia in her Easter outfit. I thought it was so cute so I had to buy it and with the flowers, it was perfect!

This is one of mine and Janelle's favorite!!

Just so you know, you can't have your shoes off on Temple Square....so says the security guard. Hee Hee Hee! He didn't know I had my feet in the water. :-)

This one is at Memory Grove

Yep!

So I know that most of these posts are of Kezia but she's the one changing the most. Bret and I still look the same...except for maybe a few more wrinkles and a gray hair or two. ;-) However, I swear Kezia changes every week, if not every day. So, that's why there are so many posts of her. When the weather gets better here in Salt Lake there will be more of all of us actually doing things so be patient and enjoy the pictures of Kezia!

Yep, Bret is really watching conference....maybe on the back of his eyelids. :-)

Kezia loves her jumper!! She's getting good at it. It's so funny to watch her. Her arms go flailing and she just laughs.


She also loves bath time! Same thing, she kicks her feet and flaps her arms loving the noise of the water.
