Growing Boys, Growing Ducks

Yesterday morning the boys and I decided to have a little picnic for lunch. I let Marcus and Tyson ride their bikes, while I took Carter in the stroller. Tyson is still learning and was so excited to be like his older brother Marcus. Marcus was so cute and telling Tyson where he needed to slow down and not go too fast or he might fall. He also encouraged him to go faster by having races with him. It is so much fun watching these boys ride, they really are growing up way to fast. On our way back from our picnic we found the ducklings that we have been watching grow up.
They too have been growing pretty quickly, and are so adorable.

Life sure goes by fast! Tell me really, why do children have to grow up?!? I love my boys and don't want them to ever grow up...is that bad?

Mark and Jeana's Visit!

This beautiful couple came to visit our little family in Eagle, Idaho and we LOVED IT!! We are so glad that they took their vacation time and spent some of it with us. The boys were so excited to see them.
*Notice Marcus cruising up in front on his bike.It was such a perfect day, we had some burgers on the grill and then went for a walk around our neighborhood. Since we just got Marcus a new bike he got to ride that and only crashed a couple of times. He is getting pretty good.

We love SPRING here! Everything was beautiful!

On our walk we got to meet a new family of geese! The goslings were super cute, we were careful to keep our distance - we have heard they can be pretty vicious. We also fed some ducklings...we love it here! Thanks so much for coming Mark and Jeana! We love you!

I Like to Ride My Bicycle...

Marcus got a new bike!

Which means Tyson got a new bike.

Which also means that Carter got a new bike.

Life is great here as long as the weather permits them to be outside with their bikes.

I love my boys!

We Are Having a...

New Job, New Home, New Baby!

We have been so blessed! In December Brian got a new job!! We were so excited especially since he was only half way done with his fellowship. He is now a Director of Operations in the Saint Alphonsus Medical Group working primarily with the pulmonary, critical care, and sleep physicians. With a permanent position in place, we decided to take advantage of the housing market and we got a.... New home!! Here it is! It is a great home in an area that we are very excited about. We had a lot of visitors to help us move in, thanks everyone for coming to help us paint and move into our new home! (More pictures to come as we get settled in)And last but not least these three boys are excited to announce that we will be adding another little one to our family in August! Daddy and Marcus are thinking girl and Mommy and Ty are thinking boy...what do you think?

Polishing, Just Like Dad

Our ward changed times and we now have a little extra time on Sunday mornings. Dad was at his church meetings and we were getting ready for church. I was getting their socks on when Marcus said. "Wait Mom, we need to polish our shoes with a sock!!" This is what Brian does every so often, so they told me what they needed and got to work. It sure is fun that they like to be just like Dad.
