J.J.'s 3rd Birthday

Jeremiah turned 3 last Monday! My dad and beth were kind enough to let us have a pool party at their house. The weather was great. J.J. wasn't really in the mood for swimming though. He went in a little bit when we forced him. He got lots of fun presents and got to be with all his family. He had a little trouble blowing out the candles, he kept sucking in air instead of blowing out so it was pretty funny. It's crazy to think he ia already 3. He really is so much fun, I love being able to stay home and be with him everyday.

Sunday morning

We we're bored so we took some pictures before church.

Kaylee's 1st Birthday Party

We had Kaylee's party yesterday at the park. It was a lot of fun to be out there together with all our family. We had pizza for dinner and then cake. Kaylee only enjoyed her cake for about 5 minutes, then she started screaming and she was done with all the party business! We are so happy we have been able to enjoy Kaylee this last year. She is so healthy now, which is such a blessing. It really is as if nothing ever happened to her. She is such a strong little girl, no life threatening birth defect will stop her! We also just want to say thank you to everyone for all their help this year and all the love and prayers!

Happy Easter

We had a very fun Easter weekend. We had an Easter egghunt in the morning Saturday in the rain. Then that evening we went to Matthias' parents for dinner and another egghunt. Then Sunday we went to Amy and Andy's ward because they were speaking. They gave really good talks and helped us have the real Easter spirit. Then after church we had dinner and another egghunt with my family. We had a fun time being with family all weekend!

Snow Trip

We went up to Flagstaff this weekend to play in the snow. We had lots of fun up there in the cold. Kaylee did not care too much for the snow, but loved the hotel room. JJ had lots of fun in the snow going sleding, building a snowman, and throwing snowballs at Matthias. We also had the joy of getting stuck in the snow. We tried to pull off the main road and apparently there was not room to do that and the right side of the car was down in the snow. It seriously look like we were going to tip over. A nice lady stopped to try to help, but thought we should call a tow truck because she thought we would tip over also. And then guess what happened... a tow truck just came along. We luckily had a hook on the back of our car and he pulled us out. We were so lucky!! Even with that and Kaylee crying most the time in the snow we had a really good time.

Bart and Josefine

Bart and Josefine came for 3 weeks! We had lots of fun hanging out with them. All the kids especially get excited. Josefine is pregnant with a little boy. We are excited to see him when they hopefully come back in September. We miss Bart and Josefine a lot, but we were so happy to have them here.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas season. We we're able to spend lots of time with family and friends, which is always lots of fun. It is so nice to have family so close by. We are so thankful for our families and for all their help and love. We are especially thankful for all the help we have recieved this last month with my little hospital stay and all my doctor appointments!!! We truly are so lucky to have such great families!
