April and May of 2011

Parker and Jordan took a tumbling class while I taught a dance class at Santaquin city center. Their parent's night made Jonathan and I so proud. We actually ate ice cream before dinner that night because we were such proud parents of our 3 year olds. Check out the videos at the very bottom!

Grandma O's bird. Avery is the bird girl. She carries it around every where.

Jordan got a black eye in Idaho. He would tell people, "See my blue eye." We all thought it looked pretty cool.

I just think they are super cute.

Leslie is 25 weeks in this picture and I am 30 weeks. I definitely have a much larger belly.

Daddy took the boys on the fathers and sons camp out. I had a free night which I spent organizing, cleaning, and getting things ready for our new baby. By 10 o'clock I missed my family. I always dream for a day or night all by myself and then once I have one, I just miss my family.

May 6th we had a fun out at the playground and Mom finally remembered to bring out her camera.

Love this one of Jordan.

I just don't know what to do with these smiles. Below are Parker's goofy faces.

Happy Birthday to Lucy. Parker and Jordan play so well with our neighbor Lucy. We are lucky to have them as neighbors.

Jordan's hands were dyed for days.

I don't know if this is inappropriate, but it is such a cute picture.

Random Pictures

These are the curtains I made for the baby's room. The two ribbons in the front are used to tie the curtains up to get light. There are two more ribbons on the back. I will post a picture when they are hung in the baby's room.

These pictures are just to show my pregnant belly. It is getting huge and so is my face. Gotta love being pregnant...and to think I will go through this as many times as it takes to get a girl. I am crazy!

Family Pictures!

Just a few undated family pictures.

Thanksgiving to Christmas

Christmas is Carey, Idaho

We had so much fun in Idaho this year for Christmas. In fact, today at lunch Parker asked if we could go to Papi's house today. Jonathan was extremely happy to get his new road bike; Santa brought me an IPOD for my dance music; and Parker and Jordan were excited about all the fun little things they received. Probably the best part of Christmas was Parker decided to potty train. He just started using the potty and hasn't looked back. Jordan, on the other hand, is "not ready" as he says. He is Parker's biggest fan and cheers him on. But he prefers his diapers.

Uncle K.C. and Uncle Charlie dug out a huge snow cave. I was a little nervous during this picture.
With all the snow chunks that KC and Charlie dug out, Parker and Jordan build a snowball wall.

My College Roommate and Great Friend!!

I was so blessed at college to get to spend 4 years with some of my very best friends. I was so excited to see Elise and her family this year. Our families met for pizza in Salt Lake one night and then Elise was able to come spend the day at our house. The day she came we had the biggest snow storm we have had since I have lived in Utah. I measured 15in. in one night!! The best part was how warm it was. We were able to play outside without getting cold.

Uncle Preston jumped in the snow for a lowsy $1!! I have yet to pay him.
We built this snowman a few days before Elise came. It is amazing how by simply putting two eyes, a nose and mouth on snow, it seems to be real. Parker and Jordan loved seeing it out their bedroom window until the neighbor kids ruined it.

Jordan is very meticulous about his decorating, yet he didn't eat a single cookie.

Thanksgiving in Idaho

Last year we spent most holidays in Utah so we were able to spend a lot of time with Jonathan's family this holiday season--Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!

This is our cute niece Evelyn. She is 6 weeks younger than the boys.
Olivia is in the pink.

We had our friends over for Family Home Evening to talk about Thanksgiving. I found some cute crafts online that were really easy. I collected the pine cones from a gas station's landscaping. I looked really odd running from tree to tree at a gas station, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy them at the store when they are free in nature. This is Jordan below.

Parker with his cheesy smile.
Aren't these cute. Super simple and fun! Next year I will be the candy corn at Halloween because I literally went to three stores trying to find it. I guess they clear it out after Halloween.

Jonathan's 28th Birthday

We celebrated Jonathan's birthday from a Tuesday to a Sunday. He milked every last minute of each day. On Tuesday we ate at Tucanos Brazilian Grill. Jonathan's favorite since he lived in Brazil for two years. Then he saw The Scarlet Pimpernel at the Hale Center Theater. We absolutely love going to musicals there.

On Sunday we ate a delicious turkey dinner with my parents and brother.

Notice the red mark on Jordan's face. Parker bit him.

On Friday, Jonathan's actual birthday, I surprised him at his work with a homemade cheesecake. Because we didn't want to make another cake that night we decided to eat at Magleby's Fresh. We had a two free dessert coupons from our musical. So we celebrated again at Magleby's.

This is the only picture taken on Jonathan's actual birthday. The boys wanted to get him "a blue surprise." So we got him some blue dress socks. Stayed tuned for the awesome suit he got for his birthday.
