Grandma and Grandpa come to town

to show off their cheesers!

mostly they were helping Kate "the grad" move

home from rexburg after her graduation from

BYU idaho!!

and grandpa pulls out Logan's front tooth and

gives her $5!! she's really excited for the $ from

him, and the toothfairy. thank goodness it didn't

hurt. i wouldn't want him to traumatize her by

pulling it out, but i'm glad he got it out for her.

she tried to ask for $20 for the tooth. great!

we are in for it!

we had a great visit with you mom and dad,

and hope you'll come back soon!

Easter

Such a lovely Easter morning..........with 6 inches

of snow!

Neighborhood Easter Hunt the day before.

We also colored eggs that day, but didn't get

any pictures. The coloring/painting was quite

the mess. The girls had fun though!

Disney on Ice

A few weekends ago we got to take the girls to Disney on Ice!

They had so much fun and were both really good. What a fun

family outing!

Mickey and Minnie came out to greet everyone first.

Followed by the cars from the movie "Cars"! That was

pretty cool to see all the cars on the ice at the same time.

They were followed by The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King,

which I guess James must have not thought were as cool as

the others since there are not many, if any pictures of those.

Last but not least, the girls favorite, Tinkerbell! It was fun to see

a few of the fairies flying around the arena, and all the beautiful

colors and flowers floating around! It was a great time, and we

definitely recommend it to anyone!

I promise, he had fun! He probably would have rather

seen a basketball game, but he loves his girls! He's such

a great sport to put up with all of us girls!

In with the NEW!!

Here is our new car!! It is an 05 mercury mountaineer. I really wasn't expecting to get this particular vehicle. I thought James was kind of set on a nissan pathfinder, but we test drove both and also a toyota sequoia and liked this the best (sorry shawn, no toyota). We picked it up on thursday night, and are really happy with it. It's got plenty of room for our growing family, and we hope it will last us a long time. Favorite thing: heated seats! Too bad we didn't have that all through the last winter. Girls are happy the dvd player is being installed on monday! PHEWWW....can't live without that right? Spoiled girls. I guess there is only one person to blame for that.

Out with the old

Today we are saying goodbye to our fun little Volkswagen Jetta. Since our family is soon to be expanding we need a bit more room in the car. Funny how you can get so attached to a car. I have really liked this car, but won't miss having a dirty BLACK color! I also won't miss expensive repair costs for a foreign car. Sure, it looks clean now, I had to get it ready to be evaluated for a trade in. We'll be better about keeping the new car clean. Promise. Have you heard that one before?! When we went to test drive some other vehicles, all the girls cared about was if there was a dvd player. Even Autumn started asking us between different vehicles, "does this have a dvd player?" I'm looking forward to having more room for some friends to ride with us and to also not be kicked in the back every time one, or both girls, are throwing a fit. Also, leather interior will be so much easier to clean up after spills! In with the NEW pics to come soon!
