Slow Down

Life seams to be going faster than I can handle these days. Luke turned two, but it kind got lost in all the craziness. Here he is eating his birthday brownies and showing off.

This little guy is growing like crazy. We have had a crazy month so far and here is a little recap: First off we moved again. This time we should be in the same town for longer than a few months! Matt got a job in Mountain Home and we are excited to finally have a job and a paycheck. My sister Abby stayed with us for a couple of weeks to help with the kids and packing and I couldn't have done it without her. The boys loved playing with her and had tons of fun. Moving was fairly painless and we have felt so welcome in our new ward. I am amazed at how kind everyone has been. We unpacked for four days and then we headed to Spokane for Matt's graduation. It was fun to go back and see some friends and see the changes that have happened in the last year. We stayed with some friends who were so kind to let us invade. The kids had a blast and Marc even found their pool. He was supposed to be dipping his toes in and I looked over to see his head in the pool!

Matt's parents also flew to Spokane to be there and we had fun together going on a hike, and to the park, and just being together. I was so grateful they were there, I couldn't have done it without them. By the time graduation rolled around the kids were so tired and they were not going to sit still for anyone. We ended up standing at the back and the second Matt walked across the stage we left. The problem was I forgot to get the keys from Matt, luckily there was a shuttle and we were able to find a park. Matt came a rescued us when he was finished. We tried to take some pictures and the park, but our camera has serious problems and this is the only picture that worked. It really sums up how the day went! After that we loaded up and drove back home. It was a whirlwind of a trip, but it was fun

John at 2 months

I really can't believe how fast time is flying. Our little guy is two months old already. Here is a little about him. He weight 12.5 pounds and is almost 24 inches long. He has started smiling and even giggles if we are lucky. He is becoming a better sleeper and isn't crying as much, which we are grateful for. We love John and are grateful to have him in our family. I realized I have never just taken a random picture of John, so I decided to do better and here are a few.

Blessing Day

John was blessed last week in my parents ward. We went home for the weekend and it was so fun to be with family. Marc and Luke went non-stop the whole time and had a blast with all the attention and fun things to do. I was terrible at taking pictures but here are a few.

April Fools

I had fun this April Fools making a fun dinner for Marc. It was fun to see his reaction to the trick food. Here is a video of him eating it.

John at 6 weeks

I can't believe it has been 6 weeks already. The time has flown, although most days seem to go very slow. The adjustment to three kids has been tough, but we are getting used to it. John is growing like crazy and likes to eat. He loves to be held, but not by his brothers. He is still working on the whole sleeping at night thing, and I really would like him to hurry up and decide to sleep without my assistance. At times I think he looks like both boys so it will be interesting to see which brother he looks like. We love little John and are glad to have him in our family.
This is the look he has on his face most of the time, What are you doing to me?

Easter

Marc is to the age where he understands the different Holidays and gets really excited about them. Easter was no different. I got out some decorations a few days before Easter and we had to have an Easter egg hunt. We filled the eggs with raisins, I was the pretend Easter Bunny, and Marc found the eggs over and over. He was very excited for the real hunt he went on and made quite a haul!

When Luke woke up to candy he didn't know what had happened. He was so excited he was shaking as Matt unwrapped his chocolate egg. He didn't care about anything else but getting as much candy before someone took it away!



John didn't really get it for some reason, but his brothers took care of his candy for him.

It was fun to get Easter treats and hunt for eggs, but it was wonderful to go to church and remember the real reason for Easter, and reflect upon all that my Savior has done for me.

Easter Eggs

The boys loved dyeing eggs. I saw a great idea to use a wire wisk so little hands don't have to reach in and get the egg out of the dye and it was awesome. Anyway here are some pictures.
