anybody need a car?

alas, it is time to let her go. here's the chance of a lifetime, folks. she is a sexy beast, for sure. she's a '91 honda accord, so it's a little old but it's a tight ride (and i'm not just saying that). we've had her since last sept. and have put brand new tires on it, just put in a new alternator, and she's had regular oil and belt changes. yes, she is white with a red hood. get over it. perfect beater car for a teenager, or to get to school/work and back. actually rides really well on the freeway too. selling her for $1700 OBO. call now!!!! also, if anyone knows of good van (preferably a honda) for sale, could you call me?

doesn't get any better than this

so now that i'm done with school and work/internship, i find myself a true full-time mom. i find that the most challenging part is thinking of things to do that will keep us both entertained. jack is not a play by himself kind of guy, and i don't do well without things to keep me busy. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?!?! today i had a brilliant idea. we went to thanksgiving point's animal farm. we've been before, but jack was so into the animals this time. it was tons of fun. he got to ride the miniature horses and the whole time yelled "horsey, horsey!" he absolutely fell in love with the donkey, and we spent i bet about an hour wooing it with kernels of corn.

graduation...can you believe it?

WE GRADUATED! however, neither of us were interested in walking, so we skipped that part. my mom put together a big dinner for both of our families, so thanks for that, mam! my grandma made sure we were sufficiently supplied with BYU clothing, including jack. then it was picture time. i couldn't bring myself to post any of those pics because i looked like a fat tub (not that the one here is any better).

shawn's really excited.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BOYS!!!!!

shawn and jack's birthdays are 2 days apart, and this year easter was right in the middle of them, so we had a grand party with both families. shawn is 26 (somehow seems so much older than 25) and jack turned a whopping 2. they opened presents together and blew out candles together. jack had so many presents he got tired of opening them and shawn had to finish up. happy birthday to my boys!
the hit of the night was a t-ball stand. shawn's never had a prouder moment than when jack hit the ball across the yard. we love cousins! aren't they cute? this is jack, parker, and marley. jack loves them both a ton.

ducks and an egg hunt

these are some of jack's best pals from our ward. for mother's group (clear before easter) we had a fun easter egg hunt AND got to hang out with the ducks. jack alone fed them a whole loaf. so we have lainey, chad, grace, abby, and jack. there's more of these little dudes but trying to get them all in a pic was like changing jack's diaper - impossible.
