a new view...

We got a new camera...a Canon D60 SLR and we are loving it! I still feel totally overwhelmed by all it can do, but this is one of the first pics I took with it and it just makes me happy :)




The stare down! 
mia and adam...3 days apart
 check out this smile! she's looking so much older....sad
 mia and dad cueing up their dance song
 their favorite is "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band
 one of the many messes I clean up all day, everyday

 Project Runway...
Zanna and Brooke LOVE to do make-overs on themselves and this time did outfits as well as hair and make-up so we went outside for some shots
 naturals...
love the pink earrings :)

End of new camera pictures.

Juana Run?
This was the name of the 1/4 mile race the kids did a few weeks ago and it was awesome to see them getting a little nervous, trying their best and running their guts out!
Our neighbors did the race as well and so we had a big cheering section


another fun place to play and make LOTS of noise
She loves these chairs and I just couldn't resist this ruffle-bum picture

She's getting closer and closer to walking and is loving the "cruising" stage

This is the first time she got in "trouble" by Dad. He told her "No" in a dad-tone and she did not like it!

Playing with her ninja brother
The Oakland Temple

Our ward had a temple trip with babysitting on the temple grounds so we were really excited to get to go together for the first time since Mia was born.
The grounds are gorgeous up there and I was in love with all the spring flowers and tulips--reminded me of the flowers on the SLC temple grounds at our wedding

the fam.

After the temple we had lunch at Fuddruckers-- we hadn't been there since we lived in Hershey and pigged out on burgers, fries and onion rings! Mia had a pickle and tomato appetizer...

We only have another 21/2 months to live here in Palo Alto and are can't believe how much our life is going to change again very soon! We have decided to rent a house in Pocatello so that we can get up there and figure exactly where we want to be and do all the house searching from there (not that we aren't already obsessed with doing it online) but figure it will be much easier when we are already in town.  Dave is already lining up his schedule for his new job and will start mid-July.  The hospital has it's grand opening this month and he is pretty excited to work in a brand new ED--nice.  
Mia will be 1 in a couple of weeks (May 5th) and Zanna and James look like teenagers! Not really, but they act like it sometimes and always want to use my phone!
Life is good.
