A fun, busy week

My sister in law had the same spring break as us, which never happens, so she came to Denver for the week to enjoy a break from the snow. It felt like we went non-stop all week.

Jeff was finishing his night rotation, so we tried to keep out of the house so he could sleep during the day. We went to the movie theater and watched How to Train Your Dragon (great show!) so we could escape the 82 degree weather we had that day, poor kids all ended up sun burned.
We had a little easter egg hunt for the kids early, since star valley is still covered in snow.
Nicki and her friend Coleen came over and we had a picnic too.

Ali and Miriam, hid one orange egg for Nicki so she went hunting.
We spent one night making easter cake pops. Now that was a very time consuming activity!

We spent a lot of time at the park. In this picture Ali had got herself stuck in a baby swing and couldn't get out. Instead of helping we just laughed. Ali was quite embarrassed and Miriam was saving her from being humiliated in front of the camera, kind of.

Ali's baptism

Ali was baptised on March 6th by her daddy. It was such a special day for our little princess. We were so happy to have my parents come and also Julie, Jeffrey, and Annie flew in for the weekend. We are so appreciative and grateful for the wonderful support of our families. While they were here we went skating, dinner and a movie and just hung out and played the wii. And thanks to Jeffrey, Julie and I got a seven mile run in while he watched my kids. We have been enjoying the spring time weather that has started to find it's way here. We are looking forward to a great summer!

December/New Year's 2009

The beginning of January we spent a week at my parents cabin. Jeff bought model rockets and we had a lot of fun shooting them off, it was even more fun trying to find them!

They got in a little bit of snowmachining.

For New Year's Eve we met Jeff's family in Bear Lake at a cabin. It was a lot of fun


We had a pool tournament. I think Tanner and Jesse ended up winning the whole thing!

We had a great Christmas together as a family. Jeff was home this year so it was so great. Last year he had to work all Christmas day. We are so greatful that we could all be together.

It's a BOY!!!

It's a boy....Okay, admit it, I got you all with that one didn't I. This is the new addition to our family. We got him yesterday. Jeff surprized us with him. He is the funnest little puppy and our kids are soooooo happy to have him!!! (That by the way is an understatement.) We named him Trapper....yes, it is after Trapper in the MASH show...if you know my husband, then you don't even have to ask why! The kids like the name too, so I think it's a go!

My two little boys were watching the lights on the Christmas tree and we came in to find them both asleep. I though it was so sweet.

Ali had her second grade program of songs around the world. It was a very cute program.
She had her own little part to say and did very well!

This is Ali's Brownie Girl Scout Troop. She is having a lot of fun. This was their dedication ceremony they had and the all did a super job.

This is Ali lighting her candle.
