Sarah scoots again...

Grammie, this is for you.  I know I've been promising a new video of Sarah scooting.  I bribed her with a trail of smarties.  The next video of her will probably be First Steps.... Stay tuned.

Electric Company

So, we decided it was time to upgrade our electrical circuit breaker boxes.  I was tired of going to Lowe's with a repair question and having them give me a blank stare when I mention glass fuses.  An electrician who used to live in our ward agreed to help us out.  His crew worked hard and had everything back up and running by mid-afternoon.  We're excited to move on with the list of repairs that have been waiting for this day to come-- The joys of owning our own house...

Definitely NOT Popcorn Popping

So after posting the pictures I took yesterday of our lovely blossoming plum tree, I thought I would share the change in weather that happened today.  Not exactly what I was hoping for, but we take what Heavenly Father sends us since we can't very easily move to a warmer climate.  I just wish that the meteorologists would clarify that when they say "no accumulation"what they really mean is "at least two inches."  Maybe I'll write an angry email to KSL.  Well, maybe not an angry one...

Not Exactly Popcorn Popping

So, if popcorn pops on the apricot tree, what pops on wild plum trees?

Our apricot tree popped a few weeks ago, but the next day it snowed.  So, unfortunately our apricot tree looks rather sad with its soggy popcorn on it.  We're hoping that our decorative plum tree makes it through the storms this week.  These are a couple of pictures from the calm before the storm. 

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Yesterday was Sarah's First Birthday.  We had a big party with all of the cousins from West Valley.  Jon and Kelly came with their families to have lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt.  I think everyone seemed to have a fun time (except Rebecca who was sick).  Thanks to everyone for sacrificing to come and visit us.  

These are all of the cousins who came (except Rebecca who was sleeping on the trampoline).

Mirror Mirror on the wall

We have a great mirror that came with our house (I wouldn't have bought it, but it makes the wall look less empty). It was a brass/gold color. I didn't like it so my sister suggested that I paint it. Yesterday it was warm enough to paint. I hung it on the wall last night. It's nice to not hate looking at that wall now. Anyhow, here are a few pics of the kiddos from the last week.

David at the end of the bouncy obstacle course at BYU's MBA March Madness party.  Free food, fun, and games for the kids.  I love Provo!

Sarah at the Dinosaur playland at the Mall.  She was excited to scoot around a little bit.
Rebecca getting ready to go down the slide.  She doesn't sit still for long when I'm trying to take pictures.
