easter

I'll let the pictures do most of the explaining.  Easter 2011 was fabulous.  Lots of Easter Egg Hunts, Decorating Eggs, a visit from the Easter Bunny and time with family.

it's a{nother} boy!

We had our 20 week ultrasound and were so excited and not shocked at all to find out we were having another boy!  Leading up to this ultrasound I think we both knew/joked that we would, of course, be having another boy.  Joking aside, I was really excited and so happy to find out that we were having our fourth boy.  Obviously, I would have been equally excited to have a girl, but I feel so grateful that Heavenly Father is blessing our family with another boy.  It's funny to me that I have to keep convincing people that I really am excited to be having another boy.  People are not buying it.  They think I'm just putting on a brave face.  Absolutely not!  I love having my boys.  I also feel like I could never doubt Heavenly Father's plan for our family.  Like they say in Kindergarten, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit."  Payton was the only one in our family that was a little disappointed, you know, that his Christmas wish didn't come true.  He didn't seem to dwell on it too long and I'm sure will still be an amazing big brother.  More than anything, we are just so grateful that the baby looked healthy and the pregnancy is going well.  We feel so blessed! 

cooper's third birthday party

off track

In addition to our Vegas vacation, we also did some fun activities at home while the boys were off track.  The boys got to have sleepover's at their Grandparents house and lots of play dates with friends.  We also went to our new rec center for the first time.  Of course, the boys had to do their homework first!  We also had fun making sugar cookies.  Have I ever mentioned how much I love having my boys off track?!
