My Sister's Baby!

Early this morning my sister, Michele had her sweet little baby girl. Jaisa Ann Thompson. She was 6 pounds 1oz and 19 inches long. They are both doing great. I am just sad that I am missing out on these two beautiful girls. I am sure glad that we have the technology that we can at least get pictures. This is their fourth child and they are such good parents. Mason, Zoe, and Porter are all so excited to have her finally here!

My Brother's Baby!

Yesterday Mike and his sweet wife, Traci had their little girl, Ellanie Weston. She is so beautiful! She was 5 pounds 3oz and 18 inches long. She is doing really well for being 4 weeks early. I am so excited for them they are really going to be the best parents!

It is crazy how little she is, compared to my brothers hands, (which really aren't that big :0)) she really is tiny!

Farm Animals!

Finals are done and we had a couple of days to celebrate before Brian started work, so this past weekend we went to the Minnesota Zoo. It was so fun and the weather was perfect! The farm animals were an instant hit! Marcus and Tyson really loved it.

Here are the boys all ready to go. (Good lookin' shirts huh, thanks Jeana!)
Tyson just chillin'.
Marcus loved the little goats they would slobber all over him, but as you can see it didn't bother him at all!
Here is an Oreo cow!

This is my favorite, I love Marcus' little smile and he loved to get behind here and look out.

Best Four Years!!

Brian and I have now been married for four wonderful years!! (yesterday, March 12) I am the luckiest girl in the world. Brian is the best husband and father - I couldn't ask for any better. I am so excited that I get to spend eternity with this good lookin' man!

My Brothers Wedding!

San Diego Temple

This past weekend I was able to go to my brother Chris' wedding. He and his beautiful bride Hailey got married in the San Diego temple. The weather was perfect, flowers were everywhere, the sun was shining but it sure made me wish that my little family was with me. I guess that is what it is all about.

It was the first time that I have ever left our boys. It was sure good to know that they were being well taken care of by the best Daddy in the world. They had a whole lot of fun together...going to the zoo, eating hot dogs, playing at playgrounds and eating lots of ice cream! It is always a good day when their Daddy is around.

Tyson's New Trick!

Tyson is much more daring then Marcus was when he was his age. He has already started going down the slide by himself!! He will climb up the stairs and turn his cute little body around and push himself down while I catch him at the bottom. I guess since Marcus isn't scared to do it then he figures he can do it too. He has the cutest smile at the bottom of the slide, I have yet to catch it on camera but I hope to soon.

Getting Ready For Bed

Each night it is the normal routine... get pajama's on, brush teeth, say prayers... but when Daddy is home it is a whole different ball game! This is just a small clip of what life is like when Daddy is home "helping" get the boys ready for bed. I was really impressed with how well Marcus was catching the ball, and each time he didn't he would say "oh, bad throw." Marcus really loves his Dad!
