The things we have been doing...

Well it has been a long time since I posted anything last. In the last month we have done alot. First major accomplishment was that we finished the basement - at least a family room and a play room. It has been wonderful to send the kids downstairs to play. We no longer have a TV in the kitchen/livingroom upstairs and I love it. We finally got cable. (Cable was John's "reward" for finishing the basement, oh and a huge TV).

Our family went to St. George with the Gerber side of the family over Spring Break. We enjoyed the warm weather and a fun realizing time with the kids. The kids were so great for the car ride down. Will only asked a couple of times if we were there yet. We did a little bit of hiking, my favorite, some swimming and alot of eating out. we actually went to Denny's twice in one day. On our first visit we learned at kids eat free for dinner that night so we went back.

And a few weeks ago we found out that #4 is going to be a boy. Boy oh boy...we are excited! I am just afraid that the boy clothes are not going to make it another round.

Here are a few random pictures from the last month...

Here is sister "crazy eyes" and Jason helping with the dishes. Lately Emmie has been crossing her eyes so much that they might just get stuck. Just kidding, but let's hope not.

Here is John slaving away in the basement. Here he is painting. John's a good painter. He painted the basement better than the professional guys we hired to paint upstairs.

This picture is sidewards - just turn your head.

Here is a picture the very next weekend, which was Easter. Here is Jason in the basement looking for some eggs that the Easter Bunny had hid. See the new carpet and the nice paint on the walls. The new TV came a few weeks later. Boy, do we ever love the extra space.

Here is our family at the Jacob Hamblin home in St. George. Jacob Hamblin was a Mormon settler that Brigham Young sent down to the area to settle disputes with the Indians. Anyways we sat down for a family picture and this black cat came over to rub his tail on Emmie and it scared her to death so here is a picture where only mom and dad are looking.

The Gerber Grand kids on a hike in Snow Canyon.

Emmie, Jason, and Will hiking around up above the city on the red rocks. This was my favorite thing to do.

Here we are having fun.
