Thanks!

Thank you everyone who voted for Tristan in the "Horsing around" photo contest. He ended up winning 2nd place and a $100 gift certificate at http://www.arockinghorsetolove.com/, which by the way, is an awesome site. They have the cutest rocking toys. They don't charge shipping and handling on orders over $60 and I wasn't charged tax either. We recieved our order yesterday and the quality is great! Here's what we got.


And I only had to pay $20 out of pocket! Devan LOVES the art easel. I haven't put the activity cube together yet, but I'm sure Tristan will love it too. If you are into contests and giveaways you should really check out www.5minutesformom.com. That's where this contest was held. They have alot of fun things going on there, so go check it out!

Latest Happenings

We had a fun day with Grandma and Grandpa Jones yesterday. It was so much fun having some family come visit from Idaho. After the boys showed off their latest toys and skills, we packed up and headed to the zoo. Devan was pretty crazy running around everywhere, but with Grandma and Grandpa's help we didn't loose him. Tristan was an angel the whole day and made things super easy. After the zoo we went out to dinner at La Madelines and it was yummy like always. You can never go wrong with their tomato basil soup :) By the time we got back home it was late and the boys were exhausted so we visited for just a little while and then said our goodbyes. Thanks for the fun visit grandma and grandpa. I hope you can come again

(This picture was just too funny of both the boys. By the look on their faces, I'm guessing Devan stole Tristan's ride on tractor.)

Brand Spankin' New Ford F-150

Yep, you heard me right. Devan got a Ford F-150 power wheels for his birthday. He absolutely loves it. He would be outside driving it 24/7 if I would let him. He still needs to get the steering down a bit better (he runs into the house, fence, and trees alot!) It's fun to see him enjoying it so much though.

I can't believe he's 3 already. It doesn't seem like very long ago Chad and I were living in our tiny little apartment in Rexburg, waiting for this sweet boy to be a part of our lives. He seriously makes me happy every day. He has a very sweet spirit about him. Chad has been sick and today he said... Dad, are you ok? What's wrong? Do you need to go to the Doctor? He's very loving and caring like that.

I felt bad we weren't able to do more on his birthday. Chad was deathly ill and I had a scout banquet to get ready for in the morning and then had to go to that evening. Devan came along and had fun though. He's kind of mischevious and about turned out the lights in the gym in the middle of the meeting. Luckily I caught him right as he was about to! When we got home we lit the candles to his birthday cake and sang to him. He thought the candles were neat and had a fun time blowing them out.

So Devan, I hope you had a fun birthday. I'm sorry I wasn't able to do more for you. I love you more than you'll ever know and can't wait to celebrate many more with you!

Love you forever!

Mom

Just wondering...

Do they call it a DIEt, because it makes you feel like you're going to die?
