Going to Work

Jack declared to me yesterday that he was going to go to work, and that he was going to drive himself to work. Here he is starting the car, pretending of course he doesn't really have the keys.
There he goes.
And going with Jack along to work were Sally & McQueen.

Cars in the Garage

Jack loves his cars, and he has a lot of them. He also loves us to take pictures of his cars and this was his favorite car of the moment when Rob asked him to choose one.
A couple of weeks ago I was doing something in the house and I came into the kitchen to find Jack stacking some of his cars on these little shelves in our kitchen. He had been working on it for quite a while and when I asked him what he was doing he said that he was putting his cars in the garage. So cute!

And The Call Is....

My parents have been called to serve as Mission Presidents for the Church and for the past couple of months we have all been waiting to hear where they will be serving. I know how anxious I have been to find out so I can't even image how anxious my parents have been. Their call came on the same day that Will was born, it was a busy day. That night those who were in town met up at Ally's hospital room, she was such a sport, and my parents opened the letter to see where they were going to be spending the next 3 years. And the letter said.....SPAIN BILBAO MISSION!! They are over the moon excited, and I am over the moon excited to go visit them in Spain! They will be leaving on June 29th and it will come fast.
Here they are with baby Will (about 3 hours old), and the mission call - what a day!

President's Day in Eden

We had a great weekend up in Eden with our Christiansen family, aren't we a nice looking group?!:) (l to r Dad, Mom, Jeni, Dave, Rob, Me, Jack, Rich, Em, Ryan, Stephanie, Steven) Ryan and Emily came in from So. Cal, and the boys came up from Provo, and we just had a fun time together. I have never been skiing with the Christiansen family so it was a lot of fun to do that together. Friday the boys went skiing and it was a fun day, and then Saturday the whole group went and it was snowing a lot. We had a great powder day, it was just awesome!
You can see how snowy it was on Saturday, these guys look pretty cold!
Bob & Shannon watched Jack during the day and then brought him up to us in the afternoon to ski. It was still pretty snowy so he didn't love the snow hitting his face, but we took a few runs with him.
Overall it was just a very fun weekend, and we were able to get out before Eden recieved 3' of snow on Tuesday.

Funny Jack

Jack regularly sleeps like this and I finally decided to take a picture because I thought it was so funny. He is such a funny kid, and I love him.

Welcome to the world Baby Will

Grandma Annie with her 9th grandchild.
The proud Daddy above & Mommy below. He is a little guy, 6 lbs 10 oz. I forget how little they really are. That is the size Jack was when he was born.

Basketball Baby



Today my sister Ally went to the hospital to have her baby and I was telling Jack that she went to have the baby. He didn't quite get it and so I was showing him that Ally had a baby in her tummy and that Will was coming. I put the basketball under my shirt to show him and he wanted to do it as well. Here are the pictures. So funny.
