HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Our Easter Picnic...with palm trees?

We had the funnest Easter weekend with my family at a place called Warm Springs, NV. It is a church owned facility and missionaries run it. It is truely an oasis in the desert. It is a natural warm spring which fills the pools and flowing rivers to play in. My brother Nate and his family came from Logan to be with us. We swam the whole day and had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. So much fun!

65 degree weather---90 degree water

It got really cold that day after we got out of the water.

Emilie and Matthew had fun collecting noodles.

Josh, just checking to see who is really in there.

Grandma made our Easter baskets.

First T-Ball Game!

Couldn't be more proud of his great hit!!


Yep, that's our boy climbing the fence.

Our ward makes a full team. It's like a ward party at every game and we love it!

What do you think???

Dave and I have been talking about "bear" and the fact that he will be going to Kindergarten next year and we still call him "bear". We started calling him "bear" just a few minutes after he was born. He was a huge baby weighing 10lbs 1 oz and 22 in long. We also had a hard time naming him. I knew I wanted his middle name to be David but never had a first name. We named him Matthew David after he was about 5-6 days old but the name "bear" was already stuck in place and it is still stuck and fits him. But...kindergarten is coming up and he has to spell his name "Matt" and his teachers call him Matthew and his friends all call him "bear" and I don't know if it is too confusing to him or too babyish or what??? What would you do?

Funny Moment...

Bear has been so sick for the past 4-5 days. He has had a high fever and cough and hasen't eaten so he has no energy. Today he was feeling a little better and wanted to try out his skates. I put them on him, he went outside, and I didn't hear from him for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, Megan came home from school and saw him laying on the grass. He had fallen asleep on the grass, enjoying the beautiful sunshine. (I had to check him to see if he had fallen on his skates and hit his head) So cute! What 5 year old falls asleep outside on the grass?!?
