Congratulations Bert and Holly!  They came a lot earlier than expected, but Baby A and Baby B were born today around noon.  They weren't due until May, so they were pretty early.  The babies are both doing well, we are so thankful!  When we found out Holly was at the hospital and they were going to have to deliver the babies, we gathered our family and said a prayer for them.  Later, after we found out that Holly and the babies were doing well, Alex said, "Our prayer worked!"  It really does and we are thankful for the privilege to pray and feel close to our Heavenly Father!  They had two girls.  They weighed 1 lb. 12 oz. and 1 lb. 13 oz.  One was 12.5 inches long and the other 13 inches.  They are still deciding on names for the baby girls.  Here is a picture of Baby B...

1000 Workouts

I have to get up earlier this year to go to Curves and it is hard, but I try to go most days.  I go with a good friend of mine from my old ward.  This definitely makes it easier to go.  I enjoy going and I think that it is a good workout, so I'll keep it up.  You get a t-shirt for every hundred workouts, so it's time to order a new one.  I don't remember what day, but one day this week I hit my 1000th workout at Curves!

Parent Teacher Conferences

All of the kids are doing great!  It was fun to meet with their teachers and find out how they are doing.  Here is an entry in Ethan's journal...

Here is one from Alex's, then the picture he drew to go along with it...

Here is a cute picture that Krista drew of herself with her qualities...

Sorry, Brandon and Daniela just don't do these kind of things anymore.

Shopping With Becca Today

Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Becca and I made this soup today.  We both liked it.  I was excited to see how my family would like it.  Grant and Brandon really liked it.  The other kids all tried the soup, they didn't hate it, but they only ate a little bit.  I meant to call Becca tonight to see how her family liked it, but I forgot and now it's too late.  Steph came over for a bit.  She tried the soup and liked it as well.  Here's the link to the recipe...Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Silly!

He colored his tummy with m&m's...it all started because he had an itch on his belly.  He had an M&M in his mouth at the time and thought he'd pull it out of his mouth and put it on the itch to make it stop.  He said it worked.  Plus, oh what fun!  He went a little crazy with it.

Decisions, Decisions

Do we buy a "new" car or put over $1000 in to fixing Grant's car?  Which would be better in the long run?  Who knows?!!  I think we will go look around a little bit tomorrow.  Then we'll have to weigh the options and decide.
