If You're Happy and You Know it....

Things have been pretty crazy around here lately....just with the routine things of life.
Ammon has been loving soccer and has just started practice for his first ever theater production. Check it out here:

I have been helping found the group and can't wait to get more involved once school is over.
Brandon had been testing us a bit lately with some tantrums and obedience issues ...but so goes growing up. On a positive note he is almost completely potty efficient! He has only had two accidents in the past week and has been in underwear the whole time. Yippy!!!! out of pull ups before the baby comes.
I am doing great! I got the go ahead to exercise again and have been loving it. I sure do look funny on the weight machines with my big tummy though. I am still teaching four days a week and only have one more month left to enjoy these rambunctious little ones.
Jeff is the same old same old.....work...elders quorum....Tv.....family life...
Life is great for us ....Hope the same is true of all of you!

Our New Little "Rascal"

Introducing......."Rascal".......our first family pet!

The young women in our ward held an auction to raise funds for girls camp. Among the treasures for sale was this adorable little Lion Mained bunny rabbit. When I realized he was only auctioning for 15 dollars I snagged him up without even counseling with Jeff. (Opps! Heehee)
He is a great family pet because he is quiet, small, almost shed free, and very easy to care for. The most difficult thing to deal with has been his chewing on things. He loves to chew on cables, and the first place he bolts to when we let him free is over to the computer. Now we have a baby gate there!
It is great fun to watch as he jumps around in the air in pure happiness. We all love him even though Jeff doesn't like to admit it!

Celebrating Jeff's 31st!

Nothing will do but an American Cookie Company cookie for Jeff!
He really enjoys them!

We had a pretty laid back birthday for Jeff this year. The boys and I made him a scavenger hunt for his presents and then we all enjoyed his big cookie. We didn't have enough candles so we used 25 regular ones and Ammon's 6 from his last birthday. Jeff said "That's one big flame."

We love you Jeff and are so lucky to have you in our family....we are thankful you were born!
