Ethan's Discovery

While we were house shopping the other day, Ethan found a bird egg. He was so excited and wanted to take it home. We couldn;t find a nest nearby so we brought it home. It had a a baby bird still in it, so when we got home we put it under his lamp to keep it warm.
We even made a little nest out of tissue for the bird egg. We thought we might have a little baby bird soon, but unfortunately Eli got a hold of it and smooshed it :(. Oh well, I don't know what we would have done with a baby bird, but it was fun for the boys to take care of the egg for a day.

I'm a Slacker!!

Wow, it has been a while since I have posted anything new. Yes, I am a slacker or maybe I am just adjusting to the busy life of a mom of three kids. (That is a lot of work). Also, half of our house is packed up and in a trailer being stored, including our computer. I have my brother's laptop to use, but have not been able to download pictures until I wised up and decided to go to Walmart and have them make me a CD of all of my pictures :). So, yes I have not posted latley, but it has been for lots of good reasons.

Ellyse is 2 months old!!!

Wow, time flies... our little newborn is now 2 months old! Ellyse is cuter and cuter everyday! Unfortunately we don't see her cute smile very often - she is pretty colicky. I feel so bad for her. She cries a lot and there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it! She spits up a lot and is so fussy. I have tried to change my diet, since she is nursing and that doesn't seem to help. I was glad to find out that she is gaining weight alright. We had her 2 month check-up today and she is now 8 lbs. 10 oz. She is still pretty little, but her doctor is not worried. I hope she grows out of it soon and we can see more of her sweet smile!

Our home is under contract!!!

So, I guess all of those showings over the last 2 weeks paid off. Our home is officially under contract and scheduled to close on April 22!!! I am so excited, but a little nervous since we are not totally sure about where we are going! We will still be in the south end of the salt lake valley but we have not decided on that perfect house for us yet! So, there is our bitter sweet news! I am glad not to have to show the house anymore and happy to be able to move on to something new, but sad to leave our first home, our great neighbors and our amazing ward and friends.
