Update

As I was looking through these pictures I noticed that many of them had one thing in common. Can you tell what it is??? It may not be obvious to the untrained eye, but in about 12 or so pictures, I noticed Ava or Ethan eating Reeses Peanut Butter Cups- they seem to be the candy of choice for our family. Happy Easter to Ethan and Ava!!! They each must have had at least 5.





Ok, so I am not addicted to blogging, but here are some of our happenings as of late! Busy season is over!!!! And let me tell you there is life after busy season. We have been getting in as much play time as possible to make up for the first three months of the year. David and I went skiing, David took Ethan skiing, we went to the Bounce place (as Ethan calls it) and Ethan ran his first race!!! Elmo was probably the highlight of the race, but the medal and T-shirt have been Ethan's new obsessions. He did a great job and ran the entire way!! We have also been to a few Jazz games (GO JAZZ) and as the Jazz dancers were throwing shirts to the crowd, I cheered and yelled trying to get one and the dancer basically started telling me I had to dance and be more excited to get one- through body language of course, so I did- and now Ethan's running shirt has been replaced with an adult large Jazz shirt- which he has to wear pants- not shorts- with so he doesn't look like he is wearing a dress. Here are some pre-race pictures from the SLC 5K and 1K for Ethan- I am doomed to have an entire family of morning people (and yes, it is 12:38 am as I write this post)- one of these kids is not like the others.





Ethan has decided our family is the Berenstain Bears- except we don't live in a tree- but we do have Mama, Papa, Brother and Sister. And after he watched "Cheaper By the Dozen" one night, he called Dad the next day to say, "I want a pet for a frog". Since neither David or I are into cats, and we are not ready for a dog, we thought that would probably be a good idea. We shall see if it amounts to anything. On Sunday I walked in on Ethan's pretend play time, and heard him saying how he was going to cut off someone's head and stick his knife in him- I quickly said I didn't like that kind of talk and didn't think that was a good way to play to which he responded "I am Nephi and getting the brass plates". Hmmm... didn't quite know what to say to that. Ok, I am probably good to go for at least a month... have a good night!

By the way- is everyone LOVING Idol??? Sad that Carly is gone- but, the rest I won't miss too much. I am thinking Syesha could be next on the list... any thoughts???
