The month of April

Since I am so bad at posting new things, I have to post the entire month of April at once. I only have one picture for each thing, otherwise it would be long.

Here are the kids on Easter. We had the Easter Bunny come while we were at church because we have morning church. They are getting ready to go inside and see what was left for them.
On April 18, Greg ran the SLC half marathon. The kids and I went to several spots, and it was fun to watch him run. We also saw Lisa, Jeff, and Kristen do the 5K. Way to go you guys.

April 25, my big 30 birthday. Greg took us to brunch at Little America. It was really yummy. That night, thanks to my mom and Lisa, Greg and I stayed at The Grand America. I've always wanted to stay there, and it was so pretty and relaxing. Greg also took me to see Wicked for my birthday. I'd say he did a pretty good job of spoiling me.

2 days later, another birthday - Greg. His was not so eventful, but we had a fun day going out to lunch, getting his fly pole from Cabelas, new running shoes from Wasatch Running, and taking all the kids for Thai food, Greg's favorite. We ended the night with Ian getting stitches in his lip. His front tooth came through his lip while trying to land a front flip on the tramp. I would have taken a picture, but it was pretty gross. You can ask Lisa, she saw it. Good thing we have a doctor in the house.

April 30 - another birthday. Austin turned 11. I can't believe it. He wanted french toast with strawberries and cream for breakfast. I took pizza into his class for lunch. He thought that was pretty cool. That night, we went to the movie and saw Monsters vs. Aliens.

The next day, my mom helped drive Austin's friends to the bowling alley for a party. Emma, Abby, and Jill had so much fun. They kept jumping up and down and clapping. Abby kept getting strikes. All of Austin's friends had a lot of fun. I'm sure glad birthday week is over, it is exhausting.

Gotta Love The Jazz

These boys are jazz fans through and through. On Friday, Karrie and Kent came to visit. Greg and the boys went with them to the Jazz game (not in the nose-bleed section) so it was a lot of fun. You know those things they wave behind the basket when the other team is shooting, well these boys had to bring home theirs, plus all them that were left on the floor. Aren't they funny?

Where does the time go?

Sadie is 4 weeks old! It amazes me how slow the last 4 weeks of pregnancy go, and then how fast time goes when they're born. We are slowly getting life into a routine, and everyone is adjusting to little sleep and even less quiet. Good thing we love you baby!

I can't keep Jillian away from her. She always want to hold her and kiss her and touch her!

I snuck into the room and took this picture. Isn't Alli so sweet? I just love watching her help take care of Sadie.

Dancing

My cousin, Elise, is a senior and this was at her last show for their dance group. They held a dance clinic on Saturday for young kids and on Monday, they got to perform in the show. Alli, Maddy, and Anna all did it together and had so much fun. And look how awesome Aunt Lig is! She got all the girls flowers.

Happy Birthday Mom!

A little late, but I wanted to wish my mom a happy birthday. We always have so much fun together, although, she really just wants to hang out with me so she can see the kids. She was so awesome after I had Sadie. She came everyday for a week and cleaned out cupboards, closets, my fridge, etc. She did all the things that I had wanted to do for so long, but just didn't feel like doing. She bought my favorite things for lunch everyday, and has taken the kids a lot so I can have a break and rest a little. Love you Mom! Doesn't her b-day cake look so yummy? Lisa and I got it for her, and it was so good!

Here you go Melanie, here are some pictures. We have had a ton of visitors and its been great to show off our newest little girl. Kristi and I have been excited to have a 1 year old, but have been dreading a newborn. Well, we have both changed our minds and have been LOVING this little newborn. I forgot how small babies are and all the great things they do, like agressively moving their face for food, doing the super back stretch, and smiling in their sleep. We love her!

Happy Birthday Sadie!

New Baby!

We wanted to get a picture out of our new baby. This is Sadie (no middle name yet) Rich, born 3-6-9(love the birthdate). Everything went well and mom and baby are doing great. We will probably be able to go home today from the hospital. Sadie has been plagued with PAC's (prematurue beats) and is continuing to have them. So far no one is really too excited about it, including me, and she has continued to look like a normal baby that likes to shoot out a few extra beats. Enjoy, Greg
