We got a new van!!

The Taurus died. As we have recently been fixing different things that have been breaking, when the transmission went out completely we decided enough was enough. We upgraded and got a new van, well, new to us van.

It's a 2007 Toyota Sienna.
We like everything, but the car payment.
(We haven't had one of those in about 4 yrs.)

I can't jump anymore.

I was in the kitchen cooking and Jason and the boys were in the living room, Jason reading, Jordan watching TV and Zachary jumping in his jumperoo. This is what I saw when I came back in the room...He jumped 'till he couldn't jump anymore.

Jordan playing Hide-n-seek

Jordan has started playing hide-n-seek lately. It's cute.



Jordan's dialog:
Counting, "Hiding behind mommy, noooo. Hiding behind bad guy, noooo. Hiding in box, noooo. Hiding behind froggie, noooo. Hiding behind bus, noooo. Hiding behind truck, noooo. Hiding behind blocks, noooo. Hiding... Hide, daddy's coming. Find daddy. Hiding in closet!!"

My boys

My talented pianist. He's dancing while playing.


Jordan likes to snuggle when he wakes up.

This tummy time thing is finally getting fun.

Zachary Rolling

Zachary thinks he's hot stuff now...
"Look what I can do!"

(He rolled for the first time on Thursday, Apr 3rd, from back to tummy, he hasn't figured out the reverse yet.)

Zachary

"I know I'm handsome!"

My newest nephew

My brother Brian and his wife Lisa had their first baby. Gavin Cole Lamb was born on Feb 29th (yes, a leap day baby) at 7lbs 10oz and 20 1/4 inches long. This is him at about a month old.

Basket Hunting

A tradition in my family growing up was that the Easter Bunny would hide our entire basket and we had to find it, somewhere in the house. Now that tradition has continued with our kids.



Even Zachary found his. :)

Coloring Eggs with Grandma

Saturday before Easter, while Jason and I were at the temple, Jordan got to color eggs with his cousins and Grandma.
"We should do this everyday!!"

And we had a lot of potato salad for dinner that night!

Easter Egg hunting- Shakesphere

Jordan went Easter egg hunting with his cousins Emily and Sarah at Shakesphere Festival Park.


To entertain himself while they were hiding the eggs, he decided to chase the ducks.
Then the race was on the find the eggs...

(One egg, three kids...)

Look what we found!
Sarah, Emily and Jordan

Jordan Sharing

When I came back into the living where the boys were, I saw Jordan with Zachary and asked him what he was doing.
He said, "Jordie sharing."

I had to laugh. I thought it was cute.

Zachary Jumping

Zachary likes his Jump-a-roo. Anything to keep him upright.
And as you can tell, Jordan always need to get attention too...
