It's May?

 Darla and Audrey were both 8 months old when we moved to Minnesota. They are the best of friends. It is crazy to think that the time has come for so many of our dear friends to graduate and move away from the student life.
 Darla and Jack . . . man they make a cute couple.
 Uncle Jeff (Erik's Brother . . . if you can't tell) came to visit. The kids LOVED Uncle Jeff the second he stepped foot in our apartment. It's always fun to have a visitor! Thanks to the State of Utah for taking us all to dinner!

 Precious.
 Taken on Erik's 28th birthday! They were so excited to celebrate him. Cheesecake . . . yum.
 Tate is now sitting!!! He is 6 months old, 16 pounds and is the happiest baby.
 Hello eyes.
Darla has pretty much taught herself how to read. She is amazing. She read those three books she is holding up, word for word all on her own. She is 4. What is happening? She looks at books and is trying to figure out words all day long. I love how determined she is and how much time she spends on it. Her focus is incredible.
