JJ's 3rd Grade Program

We went to Julianne's school program last night. It was a patriotic program this year. She has been singing the songs around the house for the last several weeks and she was really excited to perform with her class. It has been a fun year for her so far. She has a good group of kids from church in her class this year and it was fun seeing some familiar faces up there.



Julianne and her friend Kim:

JJ was so excited to have her Dad come to her performance. With his crazy work schedule the kids don't get to see him much. But he does a great job making the most of the time he has with them. So far he hasn't missed a school program yet!

8 Months Old!

Tommy is 8 months old now! It's seems like he is changing by the minute. He's still a BIG boy! He is already almost out of his 12 mo. size clothes. He's been crawling for a about 6 weeks now and he loves to pull himself up and cruise along the furniture. He loves to talk but the only words we understand so far are ba-ba (bottle) and Hi. He says ma-ma-ma when he's sad and da-da-da when he wants to play but I'm not sure if he's referring to Joe and I or not. (I like to think he is ;) He likes to dance and play patty cake and he loves to pound on the piano. He's discovered books and loves to sit and look at them, but most of all he just likes to do whatever his big brother and sisters are doing. He has four teeth and I think he's working on a another. He likes to give kisses and hugs and he is very friendly. He has a bit of a temper too! It's kind of funny to see him get red in the face and squak when he doesn't get his way :) He loves attention and will reach out to almost anyone who will oogle over him.
We moved him out of our room and in with Dallin. It took him a few nights to figure out how to sleep through the night but he's doing really well now!

He was not very cooperative while I was trying to get some pictures but here are a few:


He wasn't very happy with me during these next few pics. I love his little bottom lip :)

Happy Valentines Day!!

The Newest Member of our Family

A week ago or so we traded in our beat-up little van for this:





I Love It! It's so much roomier than our old van and it's a tank in the snow! We're so excited!
