I'm Taller!

Today Jeff and I had a mini-physical to check out life insurance options. I told the girl I was 5'5'', but when she measured me she told me I was closer to 5'6''!! I've grown since the last time I was measured, which was what, in high school? Anyways, it's nice to be a tall person now!

Medford, Oregon

We had a fun vacation to Oregon this last week. The kids and I went with my parents and we took a road trip. Not that fun with the kids making a 13 1/2 hour drive, but we made it. We had tons of fun while we were there and it was so good to see Steve, Crissy, and Parker. They moved to Medford about 4 months ago for a job. Medford is a cool place. It is small, but big enough to have the staples, you know, Walmart, Costco, Olive Garden, Old Navy, etc. It has lots of smaller towns nearby that are cool places to visit. We went to a parade, went swimming, went to a House of Mystery, went shopping in a nearby town, and did a lot of sightseeing. Here are some pictures of some other things we did.
The first day we got there we had a mini birthday party for Parker and my mom.

We went to play at a park.
We saw the Medford Temple.
We also had a lot of time to just hang out and play, which Jane, Parker, and Ryan loved!!

The kids had so much fun running around (Ryan trying to crawl and catch up) and giving each other hugs. I am noticing that I am using the word fun a lot in this entry, but that's the best word to describe the trip! We made it home safely, and although we were sad to leave, it's always nice to be back in your own bed!

No Pants?

I know this picture is very similar to one I posted not too long ago. But this one has a new story! Ryan has decided that he would prefer to sleep with no pants. I came in to get him when he woke up from his morning nap, and apparently, he had taken off his pants and thrown them on the ground. This is a new trick and he hasn't done it before, so I wondered, does he really prefer to sleep with no pants?! So when I went to get him from his afternoon nap and he had taken off his pants again, I decided that this must be his preference! This boy lives for comfort! Now I need to install a spycam (Sarah, can you help me out with this one?) to see how exactly he is doing this.

Aprons

Mom, don't read this.




I am looking for a cute apron to give my mom for her birthday. I don't have time to buy online and ship, so does anyone know of a store that sells cute aprons?

I am thinking something like this:

Easter

Here are some pictures from Easter. We got a few before church and even made it on time! An Easter Miracle!! The kids were sick (whose aren't right now?) so they only stayed for Sacrament Meeting. Jane was so sad to miss nursery, but was happy after a good long nap! We had my family over for dinner and then had an Easter Egg hunt after. It was a good Easter for the most part. We did have some sad news that my Uncle died yesterday. But thankfully the knowledge of our Heavenly Father's plan for us brings me comfort for him and his family.
