All that hair.

I forgot to mention that Jake and I cut Isaac's hair-again. This time we used the clippers and he did pretty well. I saved some to compare to the first hair cut and will take a picture to post. His hair has gotten SO much lighter. I don't think we took any pictures this time, but there is video. I will have Jake help me get the video posted later.

One Fun City

Here are the rest of the pictures from Spring Break.

If you look closely at this first picture, you'll notice my ball going straight through the hoop and Jake's is hitting both backboards. The score at this point was 6-0. At the end, I was still the clear winner with a score of 12-8. Turns out my high school skills stayed with me all these years.

Here Jake and I are trying to play DDR. I am horrible at the Wii version and I wasn't much better at this version. Surprisingly, the game said I won, but I think Jake will argue that. :)

This is what you get when 20 people going bowling together. I can't remember my score exasctly, but I think it was a sad 67 or something like that. Clearly, I am not the best bowler. Half of the kids beat that score-granted, they used bumpers, but it's still pretty sad.



And one last picture of Isaac. This is before we went down to the pool-notice the smile. He only was happy until we walked into the pool. It was all downhill from there.

March Madness

Not that I'm greater regular poster, but this month has been especially busy. Below are lots of pictures of what we've been up to.

The month started out with a bang with my sister's bridal shower on the 1st. It went great and was a lot of fun. This is a picture of me, her, and our sister in-law, Brianne.

After that shower we had another shower the next weekend. This one was for my cousin's fiance. We traveled to Davenport for this one-it was a bit of a long drive for Isaac, but we all survived. Luckily, he slept most of the way home. The picture is of me, my sister, my mom, and my aunts and cousins (the one in the pink is the one getting married).


My mom, my sister, my sister in-law, and I all went to get pedicures a few days before the wedding. It was so relaxing! I can certainly understand why people do this on a regular basis.


This picture has a funny story to it...Jake and I were getting the car loaded before we left for Nauvoo for the wedding. We were about half done and figured we'd go ahead and put Isaac in his seat. He was completely content to just sit and watch us get things loaded. Well, we had just put the last few things in the car when I went to my seat (which is in front of Isaac's) and heard what sounded like him playing with something. The only reason this was strange was because we hadn't given him anything when we put him in his seat. Well, we looked and this is what we found-Isaac just eating away and happy as could be. When Jake put the bag with the food in it in the car he unknowingly put the end with two containers of these Star Puffs, as we call them, right next to Isaac. He obviously didn't waste any time grabbing them, managed to get them open and was in hog heaven. We don't let Isaac eat in his carseat because we hate the mess, but he appearantly had other plans. Needless to say, we didn't leave right away because we had to clean up this mess and get him reloaded. We have video of this little event as well-I might be able to get it loaded.


Next was the wedding, but I didn't get any pictures on my camera so those pictures will be posted soon. We stayed in Nauvoo (where my sister was married) for two more nights because we met Jake's family in Burlington for a few days for Spring Break. We stayed a hotel that had an indoor waterpark, bowling alley, indoor go-karts, lazer tag, and a huge aracade. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately Isaac didn't like the water (I'm pretty sure it was just too cold and too loud). We had a lot of fun and it was great to have a few days on our own in Nauvoo to just relax.



There are many more pictures from Spring Break as well as lots of Easter pictures, but they will have to wait for a later time to be posted. While we really enjoyed all of the activities this month (not that it's over yet) we are really looking forward to April as it looks to be much less scheduled and more relaxing (knock on wood!)...
