Cute Kids!

The farmer in the tractor photo was taken at Hee Haw's. Jonathan had a ton of fun sliding from the highest part of the hay stack. There was a petting farm. a corn pit, and lots to see and do. The family shot was taken at Grandma Cassani's ward primary party. Jonathan was distracted by all the candy and did NOT want to stop for the picture, so you can't tell he is dressed as a dog. Any other day of the year he will really get into it and bark and crawl and put his chin on your knee. Sweet P made a very sweet pumpkin.

While I cleaned out the fridge after a Jello incident (J can hardly wait for the stuff to solidify) J decided on a cool place to chill

The Awesome Train

After Sweet P was born I got sick and was not feeling at all capable of caring for J and new baby.
It was insane and I missed him like crazy, but I sent Jonathan to stay with his Grams for two whole weeks.
I don't think he missed me much.
Someone from Mountain Home, Idaho gifted this GeoTrax train set to J and he was in LOVE with it. 

Grams gives J the massage treatment. He was giggling and loving it.

His face afterward said "MORE PLEASE!" Oh yeah, and he got his hair done... Silly boy.

Welcoming Sweet P

One oz. short of being a 9 lb. baby. Born 21 inches long, just like his older brother. With faint signs of red in his hair, we can only hope it might stay, this bundle of cuddly cuteness came into our lives...

3 yrs old

House hunting

So, pretty much everyone knows what house hunting is like, or at least if you don't know, you will probably experience it some day.

This is the Village Park apartment complex where we got to stay while we were on the house hunt. Not cheap, but very nice.

We had a good ward and some interesting neighbors here. The location was great for using the bus. Our two bedroom apartment had a walk-in laundry room and the closets were so HUGE, it was almost like having the space of a three bedroom.

For the year that we stayed here we must have walked through a hundred houses and tried to buy 10 different ones that fell through before we found our place. It was a long year but a good one.
