Easter 2008

We had an eventful day yesterday. Friday night we went to bed at about 2am. We woke up at 10am from there we went to a neighborhood easter egg hunt/gathering that our friends Brad and Rachel invited us to, it was really fun, the kids loved it. they got lots chocolate and plastic eggs. from there we went to the Boise Zoo where they put on an Easter egg hunt as well. After we walked around the zoo and showed Justin the animals. He got to see Tigers, a Sloth bear, a Leopard, a Zebra, Penguins and all sorts of other animals. The 4-H put on a Petting Zoo, Justin really liked that part. They had Pigmy Goats, and baby Pigmy Goats, and Bunnies to pet. They were really Cute(the baby pigmy goats that is).

When we got back to pick up our dog from the Landons house, Our friend Brad had rented a Power Rake. I don't know if any of you had ever used one of these , but it is one of the coolest things ever. (Granted you still have to rake with your hands after.) Needless to say we did his yard then ours. It gets everything up out of your grass and makes it look really healthy. I started to bag up the grass last night, and filled 8 Bags and i'm not even half way done. Any hoo, if you havn't used it I recomend it. (oh yeah, the kids loved playing in the piles if grass hahaha.)

Then we had Hamburgers and played games. All in all it was a good day.

Justin and Layton excited to find eggs.

Rash Or Chicken Pox

Well we had an interesting week, Justin had been sick with diarrhea for a week. Then he threw up, then on Monday night we noticed some red spots developing on his neck and back. They began to spread. Was it chicken pox? Was it measels? Was it a rash? We had no idea, so we began calling, We called family and friends to see if they would know. then we called the doctors office to see if we could get him in. We got him in on Tuesday to see the doctor. He said that it was a reaction to the MMR vaccine he had recieved two week prior, and that the spots would go away in two to three days. By the second day they were all gone. Yeah!!!

Talk about a nail bitting game for Justin

Well we Had an intersting morning. we got a phone call at 8:20am from our hometeachers telling us that church was cancelled "BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER". We laughed pretty hard. so we went and look outside, and well we had about 8 inches of snow, and up to 2 foot snow drifts. Overall in the last 2 weeks we've gotten about 2ft total snow fall. Last night we went to the BSU basketball game were Justin had a blast. We usually sit by the band, and he loves to watch the game and dance to the music from the band. He kept saying "lets go" and "Ball, Ball", then when the mascott would come by he would say "Horsey" and makes the "niegh" sound. We had a lot of fun.

Well we made it. christmas is over and the new year is about to begin. Justin really liked Christmas, he got a lot of stuff. a whole bunch of trucks, Books, Clothes, more Toys and big blocks(big legos), and a V-Smile Baby. Jessi got scarpbooking stuff, pj's, a cd, jewelry, and more. Josh got tools, a compressor, a wet dry vac, and a whole lot more. Santa spoiled us. Justin is doing really well. He really loves to climb on EVERYTHING, and he's starting to put 2 and 2 together. its really fun to watch. He loves playing with his mom and dad, also picking on the dog and cat. We hope everyone is doing well and has a very Happy New Year.

Christmas Jitters

Hey there, right now Jessi and I are getting ready for Christmas, and what a job, only two weeks away. Justin is running, climbing, and drooling on everything. Its a lot of fun watching him grow, learn, and laugh. Yesterday Jessi got him to say the entire alphabet. he's really getting his animal sounds down. He has an animal book that has the animal and the sound that it makes, (it has to be his favorite book). Jessi is busy taking care of Justin and I while we're sick. When she isn't doing that she is trying to get back into scrapbooking. Oh yeah and keeping the house in order and the dog and cat from attacking eachother. For Christmas we are going to Jessi's parents houses, one lives in Idaho Falls and the other in Swan Valley. Things are going well here we hope all is well with all of you.
