Our Cute Kids

Here are some updated pictures of the kids. Devon loves sitting and holding Lizzy, and he also loves climbing into her little bumbo chair! In the second picture down he is putting on lip gloss! He gets into my makeup sometimes and ends up with pink lipstick streaked across his cheeks. So, I wanted to tell this story about Devon that was funny. A lot of times when we are driving in the car, I will ask him to look at Lizzy and tell me if she's asleep. He always tells me whether she is or not, and he never bothers her when he checks on her. Well, the other day, Bryce asked him if Elizabeth was sleeping and Devon pokes her and goes, "Lizzy, you sleepin?" Needless to say, she wasn't sleeping after that. It was pretty funny; you probably had to be there, but Devon cracks us up daily.

Survey Opportunity

Hey everyone! No pictures on this post, but I just wanted to invite you all to join a survey panel that I do. Here is the link to join:

Bryce and I have been doing these surveys for years, and the main reason we do it is to earn points to win prizes. We have gotten several movies by doing these surveys and I also got a set of curlers. You can get books and a number of other things. They even have some blu-rays now. You also don't have to feel obligated to complete each survey. Sometimes I don't get to one in time before the survey closes, and that is just fine. For each person that signs up, Bryce and I get 300 points, which is cool. Anyway, it's just a neat way to earn some free stuff!

Jazz Game

We went to another Jazz game on April 14. Someone from work gave Bryce free tickets, so we thought that we may as well go. We stayed in a hotel about a block away from the Energy Solutions Arena so that we could just walk to the game and back. Devon really enjoyed being at the game, but Elizabeth did not. She hated how loud it was. The ear plugs didn't seem to help at all. I had to take her out pretty quickly, so I watched most of the game on the TV's by the concessions. We left after the 3rd quarter, though, because the Jazz were losing so badly. It was their last game before the play-offs, and they sure didn't go out with a bang. They pretty much got creamed by the Suns. Devon loved cheering and clapping his hands throughout the game. Bryce said that other fans would have Devon give them high fives. It was still fun to be there, and Lizzy was fine once I took her out. They had these cool cars outside of the arena, so I took Devon's picture with them. He's so photogenic!

Easter!!!

It was a cold, windy Easter weekend, so Devon hunted for Easter eggs inside the apartment. The Easter bunny was very good to him as you can see. He got lots of eggs with candy inside, Toy Story on blu-ray, Cars swimming trunks, and some sidewalk chalk. Elizabeth got some new dresses and a couple of hats to wear when she gets older.

Devon's New Scooter

Dad bought Devon a new scooter while he was visiting. We made sure that Devon knew he had to wear his new Toy Story helmet while riding the scooter. He wasn't thrilled with that at first, but it didn't take him long to be okay with it. He had a lot of fun playing outside. We had some nice spring-like days this past week. I included a Utah Jazz picture because Bryce and I went to a game on March 20. They stomped the Hornets. Woo hoo! We had already purchased the tickets before we found out when Dad, Karen, and Jared were coming to visit, so we made a quick trip to Utah and then came right back after the game. Dad, Karen, and Emily watched the kids for us. I have to tell a funny story about Devon. Some of you have already heard it, but some haven't. Devon loves his Spiderman blanket, otherwise known as "blankie". He treats the blanket like a person - he pretends he is feeding it, talks to it, and puts it in time out. Well, one day recently I hear Devon say, "Yucky, poo poo." I go to investigate and he has the wipes and is wiping blankie and talking about how blankie is getting a diaper change. It was so hilarious that I didn't even say anything about all of the wipes he was wasting. (He would wipe the blanket and then throw a wipe in the trash.) Devon is quite a character, that's for sure!

Visit from family

Emily brought over one of her old Barbie cars for Elizabeth to play with when she gets older, but Devon decided to take over. He crawled into the car and has continued to play with it a lot. It is a remote control car, and Devon has really been into playing with cars lately. Dad, Karen, and Jared came to Idaho to visit this past week. Devon had Karen read Mr. Brown Can Moo by Dr. Seuss several times. He loves having books read to him, and then he pretends to read them as well. Devon is wearing his Spongebob hat in one of the pictures. He used to never keep hats on, but he has become more interested in them now.

More Pics of Devon

I think the red eye situation is officially taken care of. Sorry about the mess ups! Anyway, here are some more funny pictures of Devon. He is very photogenic and loves it when I take his pictures. He always says cheese now when he sees a camera. Devon loves to hold Elizabeth, and she fell asleep on him in this one picture. He likes to read her stories and when he wants to hold her he says, "Holgie baby?" That's how it sounds anyway.
