Life in April & May


We gave Daniel an air pump & clown balloons for Easter. I think it is one of my kids favorite things we have ever bought! They have so much fun blowing up balloons and trying to make balloon animals!
Daniel & Nathan's Joy school class went on a field trip to the BYU Art Museum. The boys were thrilled when they saw this clown balloon exhibit!
While on campus, Ashley bought the boys BYU baseball caps for the summer.
Lizzy was happy to be along for the field trip and go for a walk around campus.
Nathan LOVES computer games. He actually seems to have a natural ability with computers. He can navigate his way around and just loves spending time on computers. Maybe a future career?
We have been spending A LOT of time outside! (A little bit too much for Ashley, because at 9 months pregnant, she would much prefer to hide out in the air conditioning!)
Elizabeth fits into the baby outfit Auntie Brooke gave her-- 18-24 months.
The boys have been very aware of Ashley's enormous growing belly. Here they babies in their tummies that are about to come out. They've been giving birth to their "twoies" (blankies) quite a bit lately!
Daniel has been very interested in climbing trees lately. Here the boys were having fun at Rock Canyon Park.

We all cheer Lizzy on so much when she does anything that she is starting to clap for herself when she make noises or does anything funny. It's pretty cute!
Lizzy is getting close to crawling. She just turned 1 this week and she still doesn't really crawl! She can army crawl backwards, but she really has to be in the mood for it. Otherwise she hates it! She's more content to sit and watch the action going on! (and talk)
Daniel learned to ride a 2-wheeler bike about two months ago. he just decided one day that he was going to do it, and that was that. Now he loves riding bikes around our neighborhood with his friends...
Ashley took the boys to the zoo last week for an outing. It was actually a lot of fun because it wasn't too hot or crowded. All 3 kids enjoyed seeing the animals.
Nathan's favorite part of the zoo was riding the train.

We got to watch a lot of the animals eat their food, which was kind of exciting. Because it wasn't too hot, many of the animals were visible. It seems when we usually go, they're all hiding out in their caves!
Our church's primary had a talent show last week. Nathan absolutely loves the spotlight. He kept wanting to sing and talk into the microphone. We had to drag him away!
Nathan sang "Old mcDonald" and played instruments with his nursery class.
Daniel made paper airplanes and shot them off the stage. It was actually a hit because all the primary children wanted to catch one!

Ash, we're having a family reunion in Provo this summer and I'll be in town the week leading up to the 4th of July. I would LOVE to see you! I can't believe you're having another baby any day now. you're amazing! I hope it works out to get together -- I would love to see your new baby.
