Baby Jaws

 When I was a baby, I got the nickname "Baby Jaws" from this picture when I was 6 months old. Gwen totally reminds me of my "Baby Jaws" days. Her smiles are huge and always with her whole mouth wide open. She is a much cuter "Baby Jaws" and I proudly pass the nickname on to her.

It's nicer than "Thunder Thighs".

Boys Night Out

Despite all of us being sick, Eric brought home 2 tickets to the Jazz game last night. I probably wouldn't have let them go had their seats not been in the 4th row! Adam eats, sleeps, and breaths basketball right now. Especially Jazz basketball. He would have gone to this game on his death bed. He about burst into tears when Eric called to tell him where they were heading for the evening. (We love Eric's boss!)

They had a great time and the Jazz ended up winning after the game went into triple overtime! They didn't get home until after midnight and are both paying for that today, but they both agree it was worth it!

GO JAZZ!!

Spring Break

This week was Spring Break for us and we have tried to have as much fun as possible! It has been so nice to have Adam home with us and some nice spring weather for part of the week. 

 We spent Tuesday at the park. 

 Gwen rocked her shades!

Aunt Katy came down and played with us.

 I found Adam teaching Gwen about animals and bugs. He even took his shirt off to show her his "bumps". That's what he calls his biceps.

 Eric was sick for most of the week and we didn't see much of him since he slept a lot. The kids and I tried to think of fun things to do during the evenings. Adam got to watch 2 Jazz games this week and on Thursday, we decided to have a camp out. We played games, watched movies, had popcorn and hot chocolate and slept in our tent. It was raining cats and dogs that day, so it was a perfect night to stay home and get cozy!

 Gwen sleeps like she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders,

 By the time Saturday rolled around, we were all feeling sick and spent the weekend sleeping and trying to rest....well, everyone but mom that is:) 

Adam is sad spring break is over, but is also excited to go back to school and play basketball with his buddies. He loves playing with Gavin and Ryan. We are anxious for summer now and can't wait to have our Bug-a-Boo home all day long!

A Happy Easter

We had a very busy, but fun Easter weekend. Saturday morning we headed over to the park for an early morning Easter egg hunt here in Spanish Fork. It was a cold morning and kind of different hunting for eggs in the snow. Gwen finally got to wear her snow suit-even though it was April 7th. 

 Adam and Tessa all lined up and ready to take off.

 Tessa didn't get very many eggs and Adam decided to share some of his with her. They each ended up with some candy and they each got a prize.

 Tessa was excited to find some princesses at the egg hunt.

 When we got home, Adam had a letter from Uncle David waiting for him.

 We planted some jelly beans to see if they would grow into anything special.

 After dinner we colored eggs. I had to start saying that we were "coloring Easter eggs", because when I said, "dye Easter eggs", Tessa got this horrified look on her face. 

 They each got some pretty colors!

 Gwen had fun watching the kids. She loves to "talk" to her Daddy. Eric is the only one who can get her babbling and just about laughing.

 That sneaking Easter Bunny left some fun things for the kids this year. They woke up ridiculously early-you would have thought it was Christmas.

 Tessa wasted no time making a dent in her candy stash.

 Those jelly beans grew into suckers!! 

Adam and Tessa helped me decorate Ellie's birthday cake. 

 We attempted some Easter pictures. We eventually got some cute ones.

 After church we headed over to Mamma and Bampa's house for dinner and another fun Easter egg hunt. The cousins had so much fun playing together! We had a great time visiting with everyone.

Happy Easter!
