Waiting

Matt wanted to run into a bicycle shop. As soon as we got out of the car Kate saw all these rocks and was immediately squirming to get down to see them. And so here we wait. Life is good.

Gardening Girls

We decided to focus on our yard this year (instead of the garden). So Vicki and Kate have spent several afternoons planting petunias.

Daniel

On frustrating days it helps to have this little face (or his sister's) look up at me. I really like them, these little people of ours. They are sure a lot of work and such a remarkable blessing.

Yummy

I think Kate enjoyed her cinnamon roll.

Where's Daddy?

Matt had rinsed the bike trailer off in the backyard (it had cat fur... and it was driving his nose crazy) and then we had a few days of really windy storms. So he brought in the trailer so it wouldn't get blown away. Well, Kate thought that was awesome!

Her new favorite game is hide and seek. She figured out that the trailer is a fun place to hide. But it didn't work quite as well when she wanted Daddy to play hide and seek with her...

Daddy Relaxing

Matt's came home for a dinner break after being on call all day. He lay down to relax for a few minutes before he headed back. Doesn't this look relaxing...

Garbage with Grandma Kay

Kate knows a good time when she sees one, and Grandma Kay taking out the garbage is  a no-brainer-good-time. So on Wednesday mornings (and any other time Kate sees Grandma Kay walking through with garbages to be emptied),  Kate makes it known that she wants to go. This morning it happened to be raining so some SAS shoes and snow boots were required. We sure love having Grandma and Grandpa (or Papa, as Kate calls him) here!

Prayer Kisses

This is what Kate and Daniel win when they are reverent during family prayer...

 

They love it (we think)!  But then again, who wouldn't?

Life's Rough

Daniel hasn't been feeling himself today and his morning nap was in the car seat while Matt and I cleaned at the Provo condo. He was getting extra fussy this afternoon, so I lay him in our bed and a minute later he was out. Bless his little heart.

Family Home Evening

After our last family biking trip where we borrowed a bike trailer, Matt and I decided we wanted to get one of our own. So for family home evening tonight we got online and found a used one. We went to the family's house, checked it out, bought it (they knocked $25 off when they couldn't find the cotter pin that was required :-)), and tested it out!  Kate was all sorts of excited. Daniel was all sorts of hungry and tired.He cried for the last 10 minutes (the picture was from when we were just starting out) and Kate kept trying to push the binkie back into his mouth. Matt and I took turns riding the bike with the trailer.  It wasn't bad at all, except the inclines were tougher. The spring air was wonderful. Good times.
