1999

Christmas 1999 we came back to Utah to visit relatives. We were staying at Aunt Carrie's castle - I mean house when this little knight when nighty-nite right on the stairs! This by the way is one of my favorite pictures. You fell asleep just like this!

Summer 1998

We were visiting Grandpa and Grandma Dysart in Oregon. Grandma wanted to have your picture taken. You were 2 1/2 years old. Grandpa came from Oregon and drove you, Christopher and I back to Oregon. We visited with Grandpa and Grandma Dysart and Grandpa and Grandma Zaugg. Then we went up to Allyn, WA to visit Grandma and Grandpa Rogers. They drove us back to Utah.

Spring/Easter 1998

In Provo, UT there is a really neat park up the hill behind the Provo Temple. Sometimes we would go up there with Aunt Carrie and Robyn Dowers. Here you are coming down the slide.
This was your first Easter egg hunt and you brought your little "tool box" for a basket.

January 1998

Donovan is 2 years old! This is one of my favorite pictures of Donovan.

October 1997

Donovan is showing off in his new Mickey Mouse P.J.'s!
Tupperware. Not just for baking anymore.
This was your first time to go trick or treating. I asked you what you wanted to be and gave you some ideas. You said "the letter Y." That wasn't one of the ideas. You came up with that all on your own. We lived in Provo, UT and up on the hill behind our apartment is a huge "Y" for Brigham Young University. You wanted to be that letter. This is what I came up with for you to wear.

August 1997 - a trip to Hogle Zoo

Grandma Dysart came to stay with us for a few days in July. She had this picture taken at the mall. You were 19 months old.
Aunt Carrie and I have had many a laugh at your expense with this shot. Your little bummie is so cute! I love the baby fat on your legs.
Playing with Ryan in the little kiddie pool. It was very refreshing for a hot Utah summer!
