Cole PASSED his Journeyman's Exam. He is just one step away from being a full fledged Journeyman Lineman. I could not be more proud of him and all that he does and sacrifices for our family. I am so grateful that we have passed this milestone in our lives and can get ready to prepare for the next one. Congratulations honey!!!

Kids Fair

Grandma Casey invited us up this past weekend to attend the Kids Fair in Idaho Falls. The big draw for Brook was pictures with Dora and Diego and a mini petting zoo. Brook and Jenna were both so good and I'm grateful because it was complete chaos in that building. Jenna was especially good considering she had a double ear infection and that we waited in line to see Dora for 2 hours. But the wait was worth it, Brook was so happy and I would do anything to see that smile on her face. Brook loved playing on the jumper and petting the chicks and bunnies. Thank you Grandma Casey for a fun day.

10 months

Jenna has hit the 10 month mark it seems way too fast. She is such a happy baby. Jenna loves to play with Brook, take baths, and eat. She is crawling and pulling herself up to stand and walk across the couch. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. She says mama, dada, nana, papa, and bobba. She has 2 teeth, 1 on the bottom and 1 on the top and another top tooth that keeps playing peek-a-boo.

Easter

We had a busy Easter weekend this year. Saturday was the cousin egg hunt, Uncle Kyle's birthday, and just a really busy day it seemed. We didn't color eggs until almost 11:00 that night. This year we didn't do very many eggs due to the fact that they all kept breaking, but Brook was able to color about a dozen or so. I didn't get any pictures of Easter morning but Cole did get a quick picture of the girls in their Easter dresses.

Cousin Egg Hunt

Natalie and Brandon put on a cousin egg hunt this year the Saturday before Easter. All of the cousins were able to make it except for Courtney and Andrea's kids and they were definately missed. Brook, Mya, and Hallie all went hunting for eggs together and ran in a little pack. They would each pick up an egg put it in one of the baskets and take turns until they found all of the eggs. It was so fun to watch them share and be so excited to find an egg for their little cousins. Brook loved getting all the treats and little prizes. Thank you so much to the Roundy's for such a fun time!

Sleep In

Brook had been wanting to have her cousin Bodee over to stay the night. She kept asking if they could have a "sleep in". They play so well together and we loved having Bodee over. I had to laugh at the 2 of them all night long. When it was bedtime neither one of them could sit still for stories because they were too afraid they would fall asleep. We blew up the air mattress and let them sleep in the living room. We overheard Bodee ask Brook if she would hold his hand so he could sleep. It was the sweetest thing. We will definately have to do that again.

Bath Time

Both of the girls love, love, love bath time. They play, splash, and giggle right up until the point they have to come out. I am looking forward to this summer when they can spend time swimming and enjoying the water.

Grandpa's Calves

Brook absolutely loves animals of all kinds and when she found out grandpa's cow had her calf she couldn't wait to go see them. She loved feeding the calves and sticking her fingers in their mouths.

Sledding

We took the girls sledding a couple of months ago up Immigration Canyon. Brook loved every second of it. i didn't realize how much of a speed demon she was. She kept begging Cole to take her higher and higher so she could go "really fast this time". There was a snow plow there that day and every time the driver passed he would honk at Brook and she thought it was the neatest thing ever.
