What a Blessing
We took a trip to Georgia to visit Seth's family, the beginning of April. The main reason for going out there was because he hadn't seen his Grandma in over 7 years and his Grandad in over 14 years. We arrived at midnight on Friday and the next day we went to see them. They were absolutely so sweet. The boys warmed up to his Grandma relatively quickly and she was so cute with them. Seth loved visiting with his Grandad as well. It was wonderful. However, a couple days after visiting with them his Grandad had to go to the ICU. We went to visit them in the hospital one more time. Since we don't go out to Georgia that often and his Grandad's health wasn't too great, Seth thought this would be the last time we would see him, but he was still hoping to maintain a relationship for a while. But 4 days after arriving home, his Grandad passed away. We are obviously very sad about that but just so grateful that Heavenly Father was letting him stay on earth until we were able to see him.

This is Our Life
While I love my life, and wouldn't trade it for anything, I often feel like to someone else it would seem extremely boring, which is why I haven't posted anything for a while. But hey, if it's boring you, you just won't read it, right? So anyways, here's a few recent pictures from our lives. This is what my exciting life is filled with.
Boys! Boys! and more Boys!
Sleeping in tents in the bedroom
Bubble Baths
Being obsessed with our favorite almost-nine-month old
More Boring Pictures
My boys are both usually very concerned about their hair. They often ask me "Is anything sticking up?" One Sunday, Easton told Cole he would help him with his hair. And he actually did a pretty decent job, I was impressed, although I'm sure I had to fix it a little. (Please pay no attention to the messy bathroom.)

We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...
(That is a song I learned in a kindergarten class I taught and it was stuck in my head as soon as I woke up the day we went to the zoo.)
We went to the zoo on Wednesday. And it was an absolutely perfect day to go! All the animals were out and moving so much. Usually I have to point out to my boys where the animals are sleeping, but this time they were able to easily find them all. Easton kept looking at the map and telling us which way to go, and he was very good at finding all the different animals. It was very cute. Cole did have one small scare, but I'm sure it would scare anyone his size. He was standing up at a glass window where the leopoard was. The leopard was walking back and forth in front of a different window right next to Cole. Cole got distracted by some kids next to him and was looking at them for a while. When he finally turned his attention back to the window the leopard was right in front of him, staring right at him! He naturally freaked out! It was very hard not to laugh while comforting him. (I know, I'm so mean.) We also got to see the white alligator, which Easton called the "fake alligator" because that is really what it looked like, but it was still cool to see it, even though it didn't move and pretty much looked dead. But it really was an absolutely wonderful day!

Our Valentine's Day
Our Valentine's Day was really very simple. We had a breakfast of pink heart-shaped pancakes, which all 3 boys seemed to enjoy, with eggs and bacon. 
Then we played with their new cars racing track, which I've decided is my new favorite toy. Peyton can sit and watch the cars go around and around for a very long time. Then for dinner we were going to make heart-shaped pizza, but I took the easy way and bought a pizza crust mix and it was supposed to be pressed onto the pan, rather then rolled out, so that made it difficult. But I don't think the boys would have even noticed had the pizza been heart-shaped. But they each got to make their own pizza and they absolutely LOVED that. 
As their pizzas were cooking I noticed a small fire in our oven. I wasn't sure if it was just some food that had fallen down but I turned the oven off for a minute and then noticed that the coil part (or whatever it is) had completely broken in 2! I have no idea why or how it did that, but I still had to cook the pizza I made for Seth and I. I quickly put the pizza in, hoping there was enough residual heat, and left it in a while. I also broiled it for just a little (cause that part still works, as well as the stove) but we still had a little soggy crust in the middle. Bummer. Oh well, it was still yummy. We were going to do something all together after dinner but the boys woke up very early that day and really needed to get to bed, cause when they are tired they can be kind of cranky, which leads to us not having a good time. But overall we still had a very fun day.
