Zack

I wanted to take some new pictures of Zack, so today we ventured out! Zack just wanted to play the whole time, but it was nice to just get outside and enjoy a little Spring weather.

It's officially a boy!

Jared and I think from this fuzzy profile picture of the baby, that he looks a little like Zack...

We had our big ultrasound yesterday, and the doctor confirmed that it is 100% a boy! Everything looked right on track and the baby looks good! We are so excited!! Due date is September 9th, so just over halfway through now (assuming everything goes "normal" this time around!).

Easter Fun 2011

Easter was so much fun for us this year. On Saturday morning, we went to Smith's grocery store for their "egg hunt"/candy run! We did this last year, and were so excited when they did it again. They have different areas of the store sectioned off for different age groups, then line the aisles with TONS of candy and some eggs. Zack had so much fun, and we came away with plenty of candy!

After that, we went to Barnes Park in Kaysville for their egg hunt. This was our first time going here, so we didn't know what to expect. They had four different baseball diamonds for different age groups, then scattered eggs, candy, and toys throughout the whole thing! CRAZY!!! There were a lot of people there too, but we still made out with a lot of treats! A guy timed the hunt and said the whole thing was done in four minutes... WOW!

We came home and colored our eggs, tradition that this year maybe went a whole five minutes long with Zack's excitement.

Then on Sunday morning, the Easter Bunny came and brought a few toys and treats for Zack. Church was great, as always, and we all dressed to match (not the best pictures to prove that, but we got the idea!)!

We couldn't get a decent family picture, but this one, funny as it is, was our favorite!

Sunday night we were with Jared's family, where there was yet another egg hunt with even more candy to add to our already large bowl! What a fun couple of days for Zack and us!

Zack's GQ look!

Zack is amazed by me, what can I say?!

Piano Recital

After teaching piano lessons for almost two years, I finally had a piano recital on the 13th of April. I was really nervous and had no idea what I was doing!! So with the help of my favorite mom (my aunt helped with suggestions too!), I was able to put one together. It went really well. I had eight students and one mom that played in the recital.
I'm glad I did it! And I'm glad it's over :)

The Spirit of God

Melt my heart!! This morning Zack and I were listening to FM100.3 to their Sunday Sounds when "The Spirit of God" came on by the Mormom Tabernacle Choir. It was the same version done in General Conference a week ago. Zack immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to me and said, "Mom, it's on the radio!" He was so excited to hear it! It brought tears to my eyes to think that my little two year old boy remembered hearing that song during conference, and that even though he wouldn't sit still for the sessions, he still heard something!
What a testimony to me once again about General Conference and our prophets!!

Pics of Zack

Zack got new Thomas the Train PJ's and wanted his picture taken in them! Zack has been wanting me to take his picture lately! He used to run away when the camera would come out, so I am trying to take advantage of him wanting his picture taken. Whenever I have wanted him to smile for the camera, of course I would say, "Say cheese!" Well the other day, he's waiting for me to take the picture and he says, "cheese and crackers!" I have no idea who he heard that from, but I LOVE it!! And I get cute, silly, and fun smiles/faces from him now. My mom would be so proud to see he likes the yellow gloves! He loves watching the neighbors outside
