Jon's Birthday

Yesterday was Jon's 33rd birthday! We all drove up and dropped Jacob off at preschool. Then, Jon, myself and the trips went to run a few errands around Folsom. Jon bought a new driver at Sports Authority and when we got home, he went to play golf (even in 95 degree heat!). He had a fun time on the course and enjoyed his new driver. When he got back to mom and dad's, Jacob and Papa were swimming! The first swim of the year! The pool temp was 77, still too cold for mommy and Grandma, but Papa and Jacob had a good time. Jon jumped right in when he got home too. Jacob picked right back up with his swimming skills that he learned last summer, which is fantastic. We also realized that he can touch in the shallow end and the water comes up right under his chin! It's hard to believe he's that tall! We had a yummy steak dinner with homemade apple pie and ice cream for dessert. (It was my first homemade apple pie and it turned out pretty darn good!). We finished up the night by putting the kids to bed and watching American Idol. Overall, I think Jon had a fun day! It's funny how just the simple things in life are fun to us. I just asked Jon the other day - "remember when we used to be fun?" But, now that I think about it, "fun" is just different now. "Fun" to me is spending a great day with my family while we laugh and cry and play and be goofy. Here are a few "fun" photos...

Easter

We had a great Easter this year. We started the day with sleeping in, breakfast and church. Then it was naptime and off to Grandma and Grandpa's for an egg hunt and dinner. It turned out to be a beautiful Spring day! Jacob loved the egg hunt and got tons of eggs in his basket. He had a great time. The little ones, on the other hand, didn't get tons of eggs... as soon as the first plastic egg cracked open and candy fell out, they were done for. Each of them found one egg, dumped the candy on the grass and started eating! They had no interest in finding more eggs until the candy was gone! It was pretty funny! The photos below should explain how the egg hunt went...

4 out of the 6 of us are smiling and sort of looking at the camera... I consider that a success!

This photo was taken at home right after church... not too many smiling faces, but still cute!

Dylan grubbin' on some candy!

Megan has some too!

Cutie-pie Jacob

Free-for-all with the spilt candy!

Even Jacob got in on the candy!

Easter Sunday was our last night at our Folsom house. It was bitter-sweet knowing that the next day we'd be loading everything up to move. All of a sudden, it felt like we had just gotten there. We moved in to that house when Jacob was only 4 months old and now he's almost 4 years old... where did the time go? That house served us well, until the triplets starting walking. Then it just go to be too small. We were so on top of each other and nobody had anywhere to go for the tiniest bit of piece and quiet. Our new place is much bigger and closer to family, which will be wonderful. We have tons of memories in that house, all of which we get to keep with us for a lifetime. I guess that's the great thing about moving... the house stays, but the memories go with you. We are looking forward to all the wonderful stories and memories we'll have in our new place!
