March Madness (with a little bit of February thrown in)

Here's the wife's first attempt at assisting to post on the blog. I promise they won't always be this long.

At our house March Madness doesn't have a thing to do with basketball. It does include...


Tyler trying out one of his Christmas presents -- "The Perfect Cleanse" Colon Cleanser (ask Tyler -- it tasted as gross as it looks -- that's not chocolate!)...


Attending the Draper Utah Temple Open House (the most rambunctious one of the family played at a friend's house) where the beauty of the temple was equal to the beautiful Spirit present there...



Drew discovering that he can climb out of his room and tear it apart before taking a moment to rest...


The purchase of a crib tent (fabulous invention!)...



Suzanne's renewed interest in baking homemade bread, or rather in eating it -- either way the bread has been baking and this was an overzealous attempt at doing a batch of 48 rolls...



Spring springing!!! Lots of outdoor time and the chance to document the beginnings of what we hope will be a great big pine tree someday...

A funny photo-shoot with hammy Hannah with a few poses of her own creation and some of Mom's (can you tell which is which?)...














Callie's "Traveling Show" performance finally happened and we could all sing along since we memorized all of the songs with her. She did a fantastic job and gave her whole heart into practices, rehearsals, and the performance. Maybe Tyler will one day download her speaking part on the blog; she was so cute with her intonations and fearless and flawless in her delivery...


Tyler hit another milestone and made a big smoke storm...


And got a fun new hat made by daughter Callie...


And then there's the everyday life that often resembles a zoo but is oh-so-priceless...






...and last but not least, finding out that the newest addition to this fabulous bunch is another boy!!!
