For David

Here are the pictures from my ultrasound on Monday, too bad you couldn't be there. Little A.J. was wiggling around the whole time. See, he has a cute little nose like Nathan did (does). His arm is up by his face, so they are not super good views, but this is what we got. (22 weeks)

Nate's last soccer practice

Nathan had his last soccer practice this morning. He had a lot of fun just kicking the ball back and forth to mommy. He didn't really want to play with all of the other kids, but it is just as well, he is kind of sick right now. At the end of practice all of the kids got a medal. Nathan showed me and said "check it out!" It was really cute, he was very excited about it.

The Farmer in the Dell

Here is a video of Nathan singing "The Farmer in the Dell". I think you'll enjoy it, I sure did.
(I don't know why the video is sideways, I also don't know how to rotate it).

Hero Party

Yesterday we had a hero party for daddy when he got home from work. He saved the day by ridding our house of the opossom. We had streamers and balloons and some of daddy's favorite treats. We had a hero dinner with hero juice too. We love our hero!
(hero party comes from Winnie the Pooh - they have a hero party "because of something someone did")

Unwanted house guest

Tonight we had a very UNWANTED house guest. Boris brought home a "friend" for us to meet. When I met oPerry the opossom, I started freaking out. It was looking at me with his beady little eyes, and headed right for me. I jumped up on our bed and watched him run by into our bathroom. David came and tried to close me in the room with him, so he didn't get out. I screamed even louder -the thing was so creepy. It had sharp looking teeth and a tail just as long (if not longer) than it's body. Nathan wanted to see the "little bear", but I kept him away. After David came to the rescue and had oPerry trapped inside the bowl, Nathan wanted to see it. David showed it to him and he decided he wanted to keep him. We told him that he had to go back outside so he could find his mommy and daddy who were looking for him. That made Nathan very sad, when David took oPerry outside Nathan cried. He kept saying "me hold it", "me have it". There is no way we were going to have that thing as a pet. All I kept thinking about was the movie Ricky Ticky Tavi.



Yuck!

Atlanta temple open house

Last night we had the opportunity to go to the Atlanta temple's open house. It was so neat to be able to take Nathan inside. He kept saying "it's so beautiful", and it is. It is so different now, they moved all the rooms around. The grounds outside are different too, there are lots of places to take pictures, and lots of flower beds. It looks so good. We are excited for the cultural celebration on the 30th and the dedication on May 01 that President Monson will be here for. And then of course we will be able to go to the temple again.

Zoo with cousins

Aunt Bonnie, Jake, Kyler and Zoey came over yesterday. They are on Spring Break this week, and wanted to go to Zoo Atlanta with us. It was a really fun day. Most of the animals were out and about.
This is the baby giraffe that was born last year, Zuri. I got a new camera lens for Christmas, and this was really my fist opportunity to use it. I love it!
Zoey on the giraffe statue.
This is the best picture of all the kids together. They weren't all wanting to cooperate, Nathan and Kyler.
The rhino (also with my new lens).
Monkey
Do you see the baby gorilla on it's mommy's back. It was so cute. Bonnie got a great picture of the baby with it's face on the glass.

Zebra
Nathan, Kyler and Zoey thought it was so much fun to jump on this metal hatch. It was so loud, and they loved it.
The red panda
The tiger!
Elephant
Playing on the gorilla statues. We had a really fun day. All the kids but Kyler fell asleep on the way back home, I think they had a great time.
