Photos by Preston Lindsay


 
All these photos were taken by Preston on BYU-Idaho's campus. I thought they were darling and wanted to share them with you. If there are any family members (Grandparents) that want copies just let me know and I will make them available on the web.

Old School




I know what your thinking,"That kid totaly rocks" and your right, he does.
He's having fun and the only thing I care about is that he's not making a royal mess.

The Only Easter photo

This is the only Easter photo that we got of kellen, I think he's really starting to hate the camera. But you can see how cute he is in all his new clothes, and rockn' flip-flops.

A day at the Park

These are the most up-to-date photos of Kellen, I took them today.
It was warmer (44F) so I decided to get the stroller out of storage and take him to the park. He was ecstatic. . . until his pants got all wet from falling in the snow so many times, his hands were just freezing. Poor little guy, but we had fun.

Preston's new toy

Preston got a Bike. We have been needing a second form of transportation for a while. When the weather warms up a little bit more Preston will be able to ride his bike to school and work Then Kellen and I won't be stranded at the house all day long, and I won't have to go grocery shopping at 9:00 at night.

Horton Hears a Who

We took Kellen to go see Horton Hears a Who last night. During the beginning he was having a lot of fun climbing from Preston's lap, to my lap, to our friends lap. But a little less then half way through the movie he calmed down and decided that my lap was the perfect fit. He sat and watched the rest of the movie,(and for anyone that knows Kellen knows how amazing that is) and when it was over he was squealing and clapping, so I guess that means he liked it. Preston and I definitely enjoyed the move as-well. It's very appropriate for young kids, and yet still appealing for adults, with some great laugh out loud moments.  So Kellen had a fantastic time, for his first real time at the movies.

Mommy Tip of the Month

It's time to make good use of the stuff you are probably about to throw away. Does anyone have an extra baby whipes container? Here's an idea.
Step 1: Go get all those annoying plastic grocery bags that you've shoved under the sink, or in some untidy drawer and put them inside your Baby whipes container. Step 2: Now take that little box to your car. And whaala, now you will always have a bag when you need one the most. Dirty wet clothes, trash, or just bring home a bag full of rocks from the park.
Step 3: Now, go tell your husbands how smart you are, and show them what you've invented all on your own, without any outside help whats-so-ever.

Article of the Month


April 2008 Parents Magazine "boys will be boys" is a wonderful article. Ok, for all you mothers of little boys, you have to read this article. I tried to find a link so you could read it on the internet, but I guess this was one of the articles they didn't make available. So-if you haven't already-head out and buy this months Parents Magazine, or go to Barns & Noble, sit down and enjoy. It has great information on the "how to" raising little boys.

Spring, What's That ?

Well Easter is almost here, and for the rest of you guys spring is well on it's way. Ohhh but not for us, not even close. We still have 3 feet of snow out our back door and 20-30 degree days. So brag all you want about the beautiful flowers and sunshine, and I'm going to brag about how we can still go snowboarding. Ahh snowboarding...not that we actually went, but it is still perfect weather for it.
Only 4 weeks left of school, Yeah!! But theirs no summer brake for us, Preston and I are on Winter Summer Track. So we have one more semester before we get a brake. Well I should say before I get a brake. Preston will be applying for Fast-Grad. It's something that BYU-I dose because they have so many people that want to go to school here. But it lets him go all three semesters so he can graduate faster. Anyway this semester has been a lot of fun, and challenging at times. But we are both doing really good in all our classes, and might bring home all A's. Rock on!
We love and miss you all, and hope to see everyone soon.

I really like this photo because I actually have makeup on, and I just had my eyebrows waxed. And lets be honest, Kellen looks freakin adorable. And look at those cheeks . . .  
I just want to pinch em.

Nampa and Family

Scott & Liz Potter




Congratulations to Annemarie, she was just baptised on March 1st. Preston and I were lucky enough to have the time to go. It was a fantastic trip and Kellen had a blast playing with some of his cousins. So much fun in fact that he started to cry the moment he realized that we were home.

It's always play time at our house

Kellen loves to play, especially with his daddy. Preston plays with a little more high energy than me, and Kellen just thinks it's the best. They both run around the house, and Kellen squeals with excitement.

Bath Time





Mommy's Little Helper




He's not really helping me he is just playing in the water, only his favorit thing to do.

My Big Boy

Kellen likes to climb up into the chairs at the table, (a counter hight table) so we got him a booster seat so he could sit at the table and eat with Preston and I. He loves his new seat.
