February 1997

In February 1997 Grandpa and Grandma Dysart came to visit in Provo, UT because Uncle Neil entered the MTC to go on a mission. Here you are Donovan with Grandma Dysart - just fresh from the tub!

January 1997

Donovan turns 1! You were not messy with your cake at all.
Russell and Donovan.
Grandma Zaugg made this beautiful blue sweater just for you!
Back in the bathtub again. When you guys were little - you had such fun playing in the tub. You guys would stay in for as long as possible! L-R is Ryan, Donovan and little Kyrsten.

Fall and Christmas 1996 - Your first one.

Christmas evening we went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah with Aunt Carrie and Uncle Ron. It was so cold! Look at the chubby red cheeks you have. Dad's nose is looking pretty red too!


October 1996. Donovan is 9 months old.
Donovan is 9 months. The company that took the first picture posted here - took the one above with the wagon and displayed it in their store because they liked how photogenic you were.

One of your favorite pasttimes was to empty out the cupboard and then climb in. You aren't quite a year yet.
Your very first Christmas. Looks like you got some really cool toys!


Summer 1996

Donovan at 6 months old.
You always turned yourself around while sleeping. Nevertheless - you were so darn cute!
August 1996. You have a splint on your right foot because you had a mole removed. You were born with the mole and it was a very large one. Luckily it was just a mole and not anything serious. All that's left is a scar.
"Dad - How come the keyboard isn't doing anything?" You used to sit and watch Dad work on the computer. You were his little helper.
Donovan at 6 1/2 months old. We used to get coupons all the time in the mail for free 8x10 pictures. We usually used them.

May 1996 - My first vacation

In May 1996 Dad had to go away for 2 weeks with the Utah Army National Guard. Grandma Rogers flew us up to Seattle from Salt Lake City. Here we are with Grandma Zaugg at your Great-Grandpa/Grandma Zaugg's house in Union, OR.
Watching Grandma Zaugg's fingers was a favorite pastime for you.
L-R I don't know who the girl on the left is or the boy she is holding. We have Aunt Carrie holding Ryan. Grandma Delta Zaugg and Grandpa Abraham Zaugg are sitting down. Grandpa is holding Donovan.
Back visiting with Grandpa and Grandma Zaugg at their house in Sandy, OR. You are sitting with Grandpa and Ryan is sitting with Grandma. Grandma bought you guys matching P.J.'s.
We were all over the place! This picture is up at Grandma Rogers house in Allyn, WA.

3 months old

Donovan at 3 months old.

March 1996

Donovan and Candace. Bathtime was your favorite thing to do when you were little. Bundling up when you were done always made you happy.
