Liam's new hairdo

Liam got a new hairdo! Unfortunately, Brooke didn't like it so much. Oh well, fun while it lasted (maybe 2 minutes).

Ethan Photo Shoot

Brooke took atleast 50 pictures of Ethan in this chair, so I had to publish some of them.

The Suprise in the Playhouse

When I came home from a stake priesthood meeting Liam and Avery were waiting at the garage door. As I get out Liam yells, "We have kittens!" Yesterday, Avery and I went out into the back yard. Avery got a little scared because she said a black cat hissed at her. I told her to be tough and scare it away. Well, today Liam and Avery went back out into the back yard. Again the black cat hissed at Avery and she went inside. Liam got up the nerve to follow it into the playhouse. And to his suprise four kittens. He ran into the house and yelled, "Baby kittens Mommy! Baby kittens." There are two white ones and two black ones. We don't know yet what we are going to do with them. Anyone want a kitten?

The New Jogging Stroller

We finally got a new jogging stroller, so Brooke can take both kids on her morning walks. She is still pretty sad that Kricket is gone and can't walk with her any more. But I think she and Kristy are going to start up soon, maybe when it stop raining (sometime in June?). The best part of the stroller is the swivel wheel in front. Our old single stroller couldn't do that. Liam and Ethan sure like it.

The Mystery smell?

Brooke and I kept smelling something in the bathroom this last week, but didn't know what it was. Until one morning Liam said he needed to go to the bathroom. I hear him go in, nothing, toilet flush, hands wash, but wait, no splash? I went into the bathroom and asked Liam if he went to the bathroom. He said, "Yes, I went in the garbage." The smell was Liam going to the bathroom in the garbage can. Liam has just recently learned to go standing up and found himself exploring. Yesterday, Liam decided to go to the bathroom on the front lawn. Oh to be three and the freedoms of going anywhere you want too.

Liam's 3rd b-day

We were able to spend Liam's 3rd birthday with family in Utah. As always my cake didn't turn out to well. Liam was pretty excited because he got two party's - one with the Marcheschi's and one with the Cottle's. Liam got some clothes and toys. My dad has been working on Liam's birthday presents for months. He made Liam his own train, similar to the Thomas the Tank Engine series. Also, he made an Avery and Ethan one as well. Liam was pretty excited.

Liam and Deakin

Over the past year and a half we have had to coax Liam into nursery. One way was by telling him Deakin was going to be in nursery, which sent Liam into a sprint to go see his buddy. We were sad to see the Wimmer's move back to Utah. We did get to see them at the BL alumni basketball tournament. My team got to play JD's twice, which we won both times, but whose counting. We will definitely miss them.

Muma & Papa

While driving to Utah we like to stop at Muma and Papa's (Brooke's grandparents)in Sweet, Idaho. It is a good half way point for our journey, and breaks up the drive for the kids. One of the neat parts is that we get to spend some time on the farm and visit with them. We even got to ride to church in the 1930 model - T.
