Catching up
Okay....it has been forever again, so there is a lot to write about! Some of our big news--Jonas is 5 months and rolling over! His favorite thing to do is suck on ANYTHING especially blankets (he's taking after Keaton on this one). He is a complete joy and will smile at just about anything! Keaton is now 2 1/2 and our little clown--he can get "Cute" rolling w/ laughter. His big milestones have been that he graduated to a big boy bed (did really well w/ the transition too) AND he knows and says his name! We are so proud of him! (Do I sound like a mom/teacher or what?!) I just recently finished going through some wonderful parenting classes---Love and Logic. They have been so helpful, so parents check 'em out! Now for some pics.....
We went and stayed overnight at a hotel w/ our friends, the Hunts & Tenneys. We had a pizza party, & went swimming. When the kids were all tucked in, we played games--it was a blast!
Kendra, Keaton & Carson playing in the hotel hall. If you can imagine 3 toddlers and a long hall--nothing but fun and trouble....
Jonas's first time swimming! He liked it until he got cold.
Jonas in his jammijams smiling for the camera.
Way back in January it was REALLY cold so we decided to go camping. We set up the tent, had tinfoil dinners, watched Madagascar and, of course.....
had SMORES! Keaton's first smore, he loved it!
St. Patrick's Day Party. Keaton, Zoey, Luke & Carson. The most quiet time of the party when the kids (& moms too!) were eating their green cupcakes.
Our little green babes--Jonas and Garrett--Are they not the cutest pair of chunky babies you have ever seen?! (There might be a slight bit of bias going on, but still, they are cute!)
Keaton making his beautiful eggs for Easter.
Easter snow. My boys checking out the snow.
Our wide-eyed little boy enjoying his tummy time.
That's it for now...stay tuned for more pics, we still have so much to catch up on! We love you all!

Sweet Moments
Okay, so when Jas is out of town I always make sure to tell him some of the sweet moments of the day. I thought I'd share a few with all of you!
*Yesterday, while baking cookies, Jonas started getting fussy in his bouncer. I said to Keaton, "Keaters, Jonas is sad. Can you make him happy?" K went and grabbed his beloved chichi (blanket) and took it over to J. He then found a corner and tried to put it in Jonas's mouth while saying, "try." Absolute sweetest!
*While reading I Am a Mother by Jane Clayson Johnson (thanks Shannon) I just snuggled tight to Jonas. This book is inspirational and should be read by all women. A favorite from it:
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait for tomorrow,
For babies grow up, I've learned, to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby; and babies don't keep.
Author Unknown
*Finding a little note from Jas in my pillowcase .....cutest husband huh?
Moments like these make all the tantrums, laundry, dirty diapers etc. totally worth it. In fact, those tough times just help make the sweet times that much sweeter.

Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day to all---to our friends and family, we love you and think of you often!
To My Jason, the three of us miss you and can't wait to see you!
Keaters and JonerBug (aka Cute) in their matching jammies! Keaton was so excited when he saw that they had the same pjs on!
Cool Keaton! This is on a walk that we took a week ago when it was 74 degrees!
The missionaries came to dinner on Monday. You know you are old when they start looking like highschoolers!
This is a pretend cover for Parenting Magazine(if you have seen one, they always have the cutest babies on the cover w/ just a bit of the mom).....except there is suppose to be less of me, I just don't know how to crop yet!
So that is a snapshot of the last few weeks. Tell your family and friends you love them...not just today, but every day!
