Milestones

We are celebrating several important milestones around here:

Josh graduated from preschool. Well, actually he has one more year, but we had a fun end-of-year celebration as several of the children are heading off to kindergarten in the fall. This has been such a fun group of kids and moms to have preschool with. I will miss it! The celebration included a circus performance by the children and a great party (the highlight being circus cupcakes by Heather).

Neil's milestone is huge. I couldn't be happier. Just ask him the question, "Who wears diapers?" and he will reply, "I don't! I don't". That's right. Only one more in diapers..yay yay!!

As for boy #3, he learned to drive.. haha.

Even more importantly, he has been sleeping through the night. Three nights in a row. I don't even know what to do with this much sleep. Never mind that the boy is losing his hair, isn't he adorable?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain..

Here's my cute munchkins. They just finished their 4th performance in our ward production of the Wizard of Oz. We have some serious talent in our ward and I'm so impressed with everyone who pulled this together. It was lots of fun (although I have been singing "ding dong the witch is dead" for weeks) I hope to see some on-stage pics (I was backstage being a munchkin bouncer the whole time!). After looking at my pictures, I've decided that a new camera will be on my wishlist for the next major gift-giving holiday. I cannot get a decent picture of both kids looking at the camera at the same time. (would that problem actually be solved with a new camera? not sure... but worth a try, right?). Anyway, here's the pics & I'm off to bed.

Life is good. We love spring, even when its rainy. Kyle is a good baby. I've started planting my garden. It makes me happy. Its 10:04 pm and my children are wired and won't go to sleep.. sigh. We got our computer back from the shop today, so here's a few random favorites from the last few months:

Before we got sick..

We were tricked into thinking it was just about spring.. then Neil got RSV, Kyle started hacking up a lung, Josh started sniffling... oh, and the temperature outside dropped to the 30s and it started snowing. Here's a few pics of happier times (you know when you get tricked by the warm front in late February.) I've got spring fever bad. I've been trying to channel my energy into cleaning so that I can dedicate myself to the yard as soon as weather allows.

A quick little trip to Moab.. work for Russ and a little playing for the rest of us:

Russ's birthday(which means THE chocolate cake.. it disappeared too quickly)

Do all of your babies have that much hair?

This is the most frequently asked question regarding baby Kyle. Take a look for yourself:

Joshua- approximately 1 month old:

Neil- approximately 1 month old:

Kyle- exactly 1 month old today:

What do you think? I think Joshua wins.

I found my camera cord!

Its amazing how much can happen in 3 weeks. This baby will be 3 weeks old tomorrow! Where does the time go? We're adjusting well. Baby Kyle is a sweet, sweet boy. Here's some new pics:

1 week old. I couldn't get a picture with his eyes open. I think he is wearing the cutest outfit ever from Aunt Cheryl. Who says its more fun to dress baby girls? :-)

2 weeks old. Couldn't get a picture with his eyes open.

Evidence that he has been accepted by his brothers

So that's what we've been up to
