Okay, so we have had lists and lists of baby names since we found out they were girls. We have appreciated everybodies input (especially Todd's, I'll miss his random phone calls with his suggestions!) I think we have finally decided on 2 great names and hopefully we won't change because I really like them! 
OOPS, I guess this should have been the last picture. This is Ethan's volcano he was testing out for school the next day. His kindergarten class was learning about solids, liquids, and gas. The presentations were supposed to be short and parents were able to come help their child. Ethan did so good. Jared made him a real volcano out of tin foil and it looked pretty pro. Too bad I didn't get a pic of that. At his presentation he told the class "this is baking soda, and this is vinegar with red food coloring in it." Afterwards everyone clapped and he was so proud, just grinning ear to ear and he said "Thank You!" Such a proud mommy moment! 
This was a different experiment they were testing out. It was so fun to watch Jared test them out with the kids, they were so amazed at each one. 
Ethan, Nixon, and Lydia being goofy on the counter. Nixons mom and dad went to the Jazz game, the kids always have so much fun playing together.
My friend Elisa came and took a few family and preggo pics yesterday in our backyard. When we were viewing them we noticed there was something in the lens because they have black speckles on them. Since I have never edited or used photoshop for my pics, I don't know how to remove them. But here are a few cute ones anyway!
Ethan was pulling the "I'm too cool to smile" face on most of them but he's sure a handsome fellar. Lydia was being really cute for the first 10 pics then I have some good ones of her scowl face, but I will have to figure out how to remove the black specks before I post them. Isn't Jared just so handsome?!
28 weeks, hopefully only 8 more to go! This was about the size I was when I delivered Ethan!
Here she is coloring in the play room. She loves that stool that goes with the art thing, she takes it wherever she is. Sometimes we will hide it because it is always in the way.
Lydia loves to make peanut butter cookies for Dad. She called him on the phone and said "Dad, peanut butter cookies, num, num, num!" Then giggled. She is a hoot.
She is my big helper, she is stirring the sweet and sour sauce for the yummy Hawaiin haystacks. Her favorite thing to do is sit on the counter and help in whatever way she can. 
This is one of her many "piles of messes" she makes throughout the day. She cracks me up with the things she comes up with. Cute little plumbers crack too! I love this girl! 
Feb. 24 at a bowling alley in Sandy.
It was so fun to watch the kids bowl with Dad.
They got sooo excited if they even knocked down one pin. They would do a little dance and hoop and hollar around. 
At Rock Creek Pizza in Sandy. It used to be our favorite place to go by ourselves or with the kids, but we are thinking they got new owners or something because it didn't seem as good as we remember! We stopped at Coldstone on our way home because Jared LOVES icecream cake and I have never made one. Hope you had a happy day Jared. We sure love you!
Lydia helping Dad blow his candles on his cake.
Worlds greatest Daddy jumping with his kiddos on the tramp!
Us in Midway the weekend before his birthday. We had so much fun shopping in Park City, relaxing, watching the Jazz game, and enjoying peace and quiet. (Since there isn't going to be much of that for a while!) Thanks Fran and Todd for watching the kids. P.S. I am 25 weeks in this picture.
