Julia's two front teeth

Julia lost her two front teeth in April! Here she is without them!

Easter 2010 with Julia and Ethan

For Easter this year, we enjoyed our community's first ever Easter Egg Hunt. It was a huge success with almost the entire city there! It was full of activities and millions of eggs, well at least it seemed like it! Ethan got the most eggs in his age group and had lots of fun. Julia did very well on her age group's hunt considering that there were hundreds of kids there!
These are pictures of the hunt and the day. Ethan loved seeing and greeting the Easter Bunny, Julia was terrified of him. They both got their faces painted, Julia's was a rabbit and Ethan wanted a Farmington Cardinal. They got to play a rubber ducky game too. We can't wait until next year's event!

J.C.' s 11th Birthday

It is hard to believe J.C. is 11. He had a good birthday! He enjoyed his presents and in got a kick out of the the fart maker, but what boy wouldn't? On his birthday, we had his favorite cake, angel food with berries and took him out for his one of his favorite meals - Orange Chicken at the Thai House. On the weekend, we had lunch with Sally, J.C.'s birth mom and her family. We topped off the fun by seeing Fiddler on the Roof. It was three hours long, but J.C. really liked it and we continue to sing the songs around the house.

J.C. 's First Zit

If only this would be the last..... J.C. is finding out quickly that growing up isn't all that wonderful. It comes with things, like hormone fluctuations which turn in to artwork on the face. Not exactly a masterpiece, but it is reality. He is, however, very proud of his tiny mustache hairs.

New Year's in Vegas

After Christmas we headed down to Vegas where Uncle Matt and Aunt Kim. Their son Jacob turned 8 and was baptized. The kids had a good visit with their cousins, they enjoyed playing and running around. Matt and Kim have a huge front room, perfect for fun!

I'm not sure why we don't have pictures of Jake in his suit or any others from the baptism, but we won't forget the day and are proud of Jake for making such a great choice and thanks to Matt and Kim for letting us hang out at their house.
