Announcement!!

We are having baby #4. Julie is 14 weeks pregnant and is due on November the 13th. For those of you who we have not told personally, please don't feel bad, we were waiting until Mother's day when Julie and her sister, Staci, told their Mom and Dad that they were both pregnant and due about two weeks apart from eachother. We look forward to finding out what we are having in a couple of weeks.

Just so everyone knows, Julie picked the music this time... I wouldn't want to be accused of liking Mamma Mia, you can get beat up for things like that!

Maggie's Dance Reciatal

Billy had his last soccer game of the season. He says he wants to do Football next year, we'll see. Maggie had her dance recital and was really excited about her costume!
She even got to wear makeup.

Video footage of the recital.

At the finale Maggie got a trophy.

Easter

Someone got into a pink stamp and decorated the doors

Easter Morning... The Easter Bunny came and hid the eggs all over the living room.

Maggie and Billy had fun finding them!

Drew woke up later than Billy and Maggie... at first he was excited about the jelly beans..
Until he saw his toys.
Maggie got stick on nails that she was very excited to wear.

Later that afternoon we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a nice dinner and Easter Egg hunt with the rest of the cousins.
Drew had fun looking for eggs, he needed some assistance from his Mom though.

Overall it turned out to be a very nice day. It's hard to believe that Drew was wearing a helmet just a year ago!

Our Trip to IMAX Theatre in SLC

We decided at the last minute to take a trip to Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City this weekend to take the kids to see the new Ocean movie that just came out in 3D. We all bundled up and decided to take a ride on the train since it was so much fun when Julie and I did it on her birthday and we thought the kids would enjoy it.
The kids were excited to take their first train ride.

On the train, Billy and Maggie had fun looking out the windows at all the passing houses. Maggie tired of doing that in a hurry and said, "This is boring". Thats our Maggie!

Drew was even good at first. I think he thought it was pretty cool that he could travel and not have to be in a baby seat. He wanted to walk all over the train and he doesn't know the meaning of quiet yet.

We finally arrived in Salt Lake to see the movie.
The movie was excellent. The 3D glasses were a fun twist. All of us jumped several times like when the sea snakes swam straight at us then appeared to be going down under our seats. Drew didn't keep the 3D glasses on though so I'm sure the movie wasn't great for him since it was all blurry without the glasses.

Afterward we killed time by wandering around the rest of the Planetarium. Billy and Maggie even got to walk on the moon...

And do the evening weather.

Julie finally pointed out to them that they were on TV next to the map .

The trip back was not quite as fun as the trip down since everyone was tired.

Drew did pretty good even though he was beyond tired. He has picked up screaming though and was screaching the entire night all through the movie and on the train ride back. In the movie he yelled out "Fish" which got a couple of chuckles from the people around us.

We finally got back on the train and back home. Drew even slept in the next morning (Which he NEVER does) It was a fun night with the whole family.

Random Pictures

I haven't posted any pictures lately so here are a few random ones. The kids had a pizza party in the living room. Maggie was excited about the pizza (Her Choice). Billy's would have been Panda Express (Chinese Food).
Maggie watching T.V on the couch.

Billy was too comfortable to move.

And Drew had to get in on the camera action!

Julie took a quick photo of me.

So I returned the favor!

Last but not least, a video of Maggie at her dance practice that she goes to every thursday. She even has a dance program coming up in May. We are all looking forward to that!

Julie's 31st Birthday

First of all I wanted to say sorry for taking so long to post all of these pictures. Basically I've just been lazy, no excuses.

Julie and I got to travel to Salt Lake last night and enjoy some time together on her birthday. I suprised her and we rode the frontrunner train down to Salt Lake and ate out at her favorite restaurant, The Market Street Grill, a fish restaurant with amazing clam chowder and sourdough bread. We then went spur of the moment to see a live improvisation comedy act much like "Who's Line is It". It was a fun night.
Waiting for the lightrail trax to take us back to the frontrunner. It was a cold night!

Story time at the Treehouse

The kids and cousins went to a Childrens museum called the treehouse. While there they got to enjoy story time and become part of the story.They even got a little bit of facepaint.
