Easter 2007

Hope everyone had a great Easter. We missed you all. This was the first year that we didn't spend it with Tyler and Anna's family and so it was weird to be alone! Well I don't have too much to report, mostly some funny things the kids have said...

• At Family Home Evening we asked Emma what song she wanted to sing and she said "I Want to Be a Prophet" And she was dead serious! :)
• During conference we asked Luke who President Monson was when he went up to speak and Luke said "Thomas S. Monster". Close :)
• Luke totally wants a Game Boy and that's all he talks about (although I think we are going to get him a Leapster) Anyway he was asking Emma if she wants a Game Boy too and she said "No, I want a Game Girl" :)
• We went to a barbeque with the people that Matt played football with, they all got trophies at it, and when we first got there a cute little black girl comes up to us and starts playing with Emma. I asked her her name and she said her name was Jayla! My mouth about dropped! That is Emma's favorite name that she always pretends is hers or names her babies. I thought she made it up but it is really a name! The funniest thing was that when we told her Emma's name she lit up and said she names all her babies Emma! Kind of funny.

It was so cool because this week Matt was supposed to travel Thursday and Friday. So he worked from home Thursday and then in the afternoon he left for the airport. Well a couple of hours later I hear the garage door opening, which freaked me out because I thought Matt was out of town. Low and behold Matt walks in! He was ON the airplane and got a message on his phone that the meeting he was flying to was canceled!!!! So he hurried and got off the plane! Well I knew he couldn't have any meetings on Friday because he was supposed to be out of town so I talked him into taking Friday off. :) We had a fun day together. We went and saw that new movie Meet the Robinsons. I thought it was very cute!


Saturday was our ward Easter egg hunt and also the barbeque I mentioned before. Church was wonderful on Sunday and then we had a very relaxing day afterward. We came home and the Easter bunny had hid the kids baskets and eggs! It was kind of sad, but very funny because Emma was running for an egg and biffed it big time and landed flat on her belly! Matt got it on video and we are thinking of sending it into Funniest home videos! She is fine now.

Gavin is doing GREAT! He is such a fun baby and loves to smile a ton! He loves to be talked to. He is getting so strong and can kind of stand now when you are holding him up, instead of letting his legs just lay limp. He is even being a little nicer to Matt :) He started sleeping in his crib now in Luke's room. I can't believe how fast they grow. He is already well into his 3-6 month clothes. I am enjoying him sooooo much!

Well we love and miss you all so much. We are in the process of buying our tickets to come out this summer. It is kind of goofy because we have a few frequent flyer miles, but they were on all different airlines. So we have decided that instead of having me try to fly with all 3 kids by myself we are going to have me and Gavin travel and we come on July 18th - Aug 6th and then Matt is going to fly with Luke and Emma on July 20th - Aug. 5th. We can't wait!
