All In A Month's Work

Oh my gosh what a month!
Let's start with Benjamin first. We took a trip to the Provo Firestation with Hannah's homeschooling group. Benny loved it and wanted to stay all day.


Here you can see him holding himself because he refused to go to the bathroom and miss the cool fireman in his suit.
Then he had his first Primary Activity. It was a Valentine theme. He liked the Healthy Heart room where they did exercises the best. He kept jumping in with other groups and going back to the same room.

My mom also treated the grandkids to a day at this really cool place called Jump On It. This is a huge room filled with trampolines and Moon Jumpers. At first Benny wouldn't have anything to do with the trampolines. he was terrified,but then my Mom came up with a brillant idea and was slowly able to coax him onto the trampolines with out him even noticing. After that he kept saying "This was a great idea" and of course didn't want to leave.

He started off just walking around on the mats that connected the Trampolines.

Then finally moved onto the middle.

Last but not least Benny got his first shiner. Yes I know with three boys this won't be the last but I have to give myself a pat on the back for making it three and a half years.



Okay next is my little blue eyes Caleb. He also had a lot of fun at Jump On It, but as usual went right for the trampolines and stayed on them the whole time.


He has also discovered the water fountain at church. I think he acts up on purpose so I will take him out; because he runs straight to the fountain.




I just thought this picture was funny. We had been shopping all day and he just had to have this cookie, but unfortunately couldn't stay awake to enjoy it.


And finally the one you have been dieing to see. Joshua has already hit more than eleven pounds. He is my chubbiest baby yet. He still has all his hair which is a record for my kids and he has been smiling since the day we brought him home from the hospital. He was given a blessing by his father at church on February first. It was a really beautiful blessing. I think Chris gets better with each child.


He holds his head up really well and loves to be sat up where he can see whats going on. He can't stand to sleep in his bed at night and has claimed the spot between me and Chris. So my sleep has been put on hold due to the fact I am afraid of rolling over him all night.

He is a total Momma's boy.

Medical School

Well most of you that read my blog already know. But for those few who don't. Chris was wait listed at Southwestern his top pick for Med school. So we are happy to announce that we will be living in Temple Texas and attending the A&M Medical school there. I am really excited about our future move. We will be so much closer to our parents and with my three boys I will be expecting lots of visits from my mother. We are also excited to move to the next step of our education. Chris started his degree in chemistry the same semester we were married. Which as you know Chemistry is a very demanding degree, plus with the extra work he had to put in to keep his GPA so high and the other things that Medical schools like to see on applications. I feel like I have been married to a Medical student for the last five years. I don't know what I am going to do when Chris finally gets through with his Residency. We will get to see each other. And after 13 years of not getting that much time together I think we will have a hard time thinking of things to do HA HA! Just kidding I think we can come up with something. Anyway! I want to thank all my friends here in Utah that have been so supportive and helpful to our little family. I always had someone to call on. We had so much fun living here and hope to come back after Med school but most of you will have probably moved away to other places. I also would like to thank my husband because no matter how busy he got he always made time for our date nights. He also always made time for church and his calling. And amazingly in between that he has made plenty of time for our boys. He always takes time at night to read them stories and talk about their day. On the nights where they fell asleep before he got home he would be so disappointed. But that didn't happen very often. I know that Medical school will be hard but if we keep having Family Home Evening and Family prayer we will find the time we need for each other. We have always lived our life as this is our life and not for what is to come. I don't want to look back and say where did the last thirteen years go. So even though we don't have that great salary we have had a great life.

Sorry I know you guys just want to see pictures of the babies. I will post some soon. I am trying to figure out our new camera.
