A couple weeks before Jared was 4 years old he surprised us by teaching himself how to ride a bike "without training wheels". He had been practicing on our front porch and in the house (when mommy was feeling lenient) for a few days by himself and with a little instruction from mom and dad he just took off one day. We took him to the church parking lot and let him loose. It is still by far his favorite thing to do.

Easter Egg Hunt at the Hulbert's ranch

While the big kids went and hid all the eggs, the little kids did crafts and iced cookies.

I couldn't get over the same little curl in the corner of their mouths. Jared was a little dissapointed when I said he had to take a break from eating his candy.

Just a few random shots over the last few months

I've been walking most mornings with Phani Morgan around the Stake Center parking lot. These are her girls. Aren't they soo cute? It's fun having girls around.

This was taken at a bounce house birthday party after Mathias soaked his shirt at the drinking fountain.

Jared loves to make these. The trick is to get it done before Mathias comes over.

They did such a good job I hired them as the official outside window washers

Winter Wonderland, well not really, it was just on the side of the road going up to Loon lake. Jared's first snowshoeing trip

We had fun building a snow cave too

If we had really squished we could have fit Mathias but he didn't want to go in, and someone had to take the picture. I acutally managed to stay dry this trip.

Mathias had to help a little bit too
