Idaho Falls




This past weekend Al and I went to Idaho Falls to hang out, we left Jeff here to do homework and watch the draft. It was awesome, I mean let's face it, everyone needs a break from Jeff every so often! ;0) So we mostly just did some hard core hanging out while I was there. Jill is officially looking pregnant, and dad's finger wiggles like a hot dog and twitches by itself. He's pretty much a freak show at this point, which is awesome. Alex also took his first steps this weekend. 3 steps all by himself which of course were to get his hands on a chocolate chip. No one ever said he doesn't like to eat.
We will be moving next month into a smaller cheaper house. It's a pretty cute cottage style house so we are pretty excited about that.
I think that's about all the updates I have, so bye!

Spring done sprung!!




So it is finally getting warm here in Boise. Finally. We are still getting used to the the whole not being warm all year thing and not quite sure we like it. But we are remembering how excited you get for spring after you have had an actual winter. So a couple days ago it hit about 65, and Alex and the puppies LOVE to be outside. You can put that kid in the middle of the yard and he will just sit there playing with the grass and looking around. And both the dogs go outside and lounge around and keep an eye on him. So we all went outside and Alex and I blew bubbles while Jeff and the girls played fetch. I'm pretty happy we got a picture of Bear bouncing like that, she does it all the time. We realized we should have named her bunny instead of bear. But too late now! Happy Spring everyone!!

Easter!











So, Easter was a two day event around here. We went to a city easter egg scramble on Saturday morning where Alex got 3 eggs. He is 9 months after all, I was pretty impressed he got more than one. Then on Sunday we did an egg hunt and dinner at my friend Katie's house where he just followed all the other kids around and ate their candy. It was awesome! He loved tearing apart his easter basket and as you can see by the first pic, he loves Peeps. Honestly, who doesn't?

Lost the battle...

So, any of you that have met my son know that he doesn't like having his diaper changed. He hates it so much and he is such a little devil that he will lay there perfectly still while you take off his pants and his diaper, but the second it is off, he bolts. So today I got quite the kick out of his bare behind speed crawling away from me, and by the time I got the camera this was all I got. And I have now looked at this picture about 50 times and it still makes me laugh so hard I cry. My life, summed up in one sweet shot.

Bored!!











So here I sit watching Michigan state lose even though they had the overwhelming home court advantage... and anyone who knows me knows I HATE sports on TV. So to pass the time here are some of the more hilarious moments of the last few days.

Baby's Best Friend

This was taped a few months ago while Alex was playing with his BFF Bear. We are glad that we got it on tape as the dogs have grown wise to the fact that he pulls hair and just walk away from him now. It was fun while it lasted.

Welcome to our blog.


Here is our pretty new family blog! It took us so long to get set up (we can't agree on anything..) that now we are tired and don't have the energy to do much more. So here is a sweet picture of our gigantic baby splashing in the dog's water. Poor sweet Cami is in the background waiting patiently in line for her turn. Post more later.
