April 2012

April brought Grandma's birthday and a handful of troublemakers to celebrate it with.

 

Easter came and gone, but not before we went to the Castle Dale City Easter Egg hunt.

The boys all dressed up ready to go to church.  Jorgen and Zander do love their new little brother!

Zander always have to put on things.  This is one cool ensemble.

For kindergarten, Jorgen did a report on Hammerhead sharks.  I even learned something new about them!

March 2012

Luci was due this month so she wanted some pictures with the boys, while she was pregnant.  

 We were scheduled to have Luci induced on Monday the 12th, so we decided that we would go up state for the weekend.  We thought that we go have dinner and watch a movie while my sister-in-law and brother-in-law would watch our two boys.  We would then have a relaxing Sunday and then go to Utah Valley Regional medical center on Monday morning.  Well, on the way up, Luci started have contractions.  Instead of a date, We dropped our kids off and went straight to the hospital. So much for a date and relaxing weekend!

 

That night Collin was born!

Our first family picture with Collin.

 

February 2012

In February we went to a BYU men's volleyball game and Zander met Cosmo!

We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point and the had the Notion of Motion, which was lots of fun.  We met some of our cousins there.

Jorgen had his first Valentine's Day at school and made a Love Monster box for all the Valentines.

On President's Day, we went with some cousins to the Living Planet Aquarium up in Sandy.  It was pretty busy, so it was a crazy time.

My Junior High Girls' basketball team made to the championship game and we lost by 4 points.  Don't look to closely at the girls' faces.  They had been crying.

Towards the end of the month, Zander had his 4th Birthday!  He can't wait until he turns five now.  He asks everyday when he will be five.

Fun with Mustaches

My sons received some mustaches from their cousins for Christmas, so of course we had to use them!

Yellowstone

For a last hurrah before school starts, we decided to go up to Yellowstone with the Simons for a couple of days.

Camping at Nuck Woodward

This past weekend we went Camping up at Nuck Woodward. This is where Luci's family used to take the sheep for a period of time in the summer. Joe brought most of his family and camped with us. Most of the Jorgensens joined us the next day for a picnic. We also brought the horses to ride!
