March a month of Fun

This last month has been so busy. I didn't get time to post about our family visitors. We had all of Chad's family here. Mike came from San Fancisco, Nate & his girlfriend (Judith) came from Arizona, & Lisa & Daniel came from Utah. It had been a very long time since we had all been together. The kids love having so many aunts & uncles around to play with. One of the first days with the family we went to the Santa Barbara zoo. For once the adults out-numbered the kids and I actually got to look at the animals instead of chase children around.

Chad, Mike, Gary, Nate & Lisa

Addie had the best of time with Uncle Mike and his guitar. They even made up their own songs.

We love our ducks

We our having so much fun with our ducks. The kids love playing with them & I love takeing pictures of them together. Here are just a few of the pictures I have taken in the last few days.

Ducks Ducks Ducks!!!

So our chicken eggs didn't work and our duck eggs are not due to be done until next week and well we didn't want to wait any longer so we when and got ducks yesterday. They are only 2 days old and we are having so much fun. After we play with them for a few weeks we will take them back to the farm were I got them. Addie said she is the ducks mommy. They love to climb up on her lap and they flow her around the house, it is so cute.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Easter is on it's way and so are our chicks & ducks!

I thought it would be fun to have baby chicks & ducks for Easter so I got two incubators and 8 eggs in hopes that we will end up with babies. The girls are so excited and every day they put a sticker on a count down calendar. It takes the chicks 21 days & ducks 28 days before they will hatch.

Addie's first talk at church

My big girl!

Addie gave her first talk on the book of Mormon at church a few weeks ago. She wanted to give her talk on a good golf swing but we though that it would be best if she talked on something that went with the primary theme for the year. Here is her talk:

"This is my book of Mormon. I love to read it with my family. My mom reads the book of Mormon to me when I eat breakfast and it makes me feel good."
Adam wanted to give a talk too!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to all our friends and family!

We love you all.

Love,

Adam, Emma & Addie

Cutest Kids in the World

We love our cousins and are so lucky to spend a lot of time with them. When we are all together the noise level is very high, but oh so fun. Ten kids in 6 1/2 years. I don't think we could have them any faster. As of now, no one is pregnant and no one is trying to get pregnant, so Grammy & Papa don't have to worry about getting to the hospital any time soon to see a new baby being born.

We are excited to announce that we have our first cousin on its way from Chad's side of the family. Lisa and Daniel are expecting their first baby due in July. We should find out what they're having next month.
