Welcome Jackson!!!

Our little nephew, Jackson, is finally here. He is totally awesome. Isaac won the family pool- guessing most accurately when he would come, how much he'd weigh, and that he would be a BOY. Go Isaac! The 411 on Jackson Eugene...
Born March 30th at 5:47pm in Durango, CO, 8lb 7oz., 20 inches long.
Aunt Vanessa was a rock star- she is looking and doing great! This kid couldn't ask for better parents. Jackson we are so glad that you are here, and we can't wait to hang out with you!

What's up

So I haven't been blogging much lately- mostly because I haven't been taking many pictures. I think we just haven't been doing many exciting things. Maybe we will plan an adventure! Anyway- I thought I'd give an update on what the kids have been doing-
Isaac is learning to read! He's doing really well... sounding out letters and turning them into words. He loves his new skill and wants to spell out EVERYTHING. It's so exciting to to watch him soak all this up! We are also trying to work on potty training- it's not going so well. I'm pretty sure he will be reading chapter books before we get him out of diapers. Delia is finally talking- real words in English out loud. Mostly "hi" and "bye" and "ball." Every once and a while she graces us with "Mama" or "Bop-Pa!" (Poppa). Some times she screeches "IIII-EEEE!" while pointing at Isaac, so I'm assuming that is her name for her brother. I'm working on turning it into "Ike."Yeah! The snow is almost all gone here, and we have been playing outside in the backyard and our neighborhood park a ton. Isaac wants to ride his bike all the time. Delia is a total playground daredevil. She runs around completely fearless, flinging herself head-first down giant slides, climbing to the top of the highest jungle gyms in seconds. It is ... exhausting!

Beyond the kids... a couple weeks ago Matt gave the sermon at our church. Can you believe they let this guy up front?? He did an awesome job!


Another Post-Nap Delia

Delia's hair is getting longer and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I never thought Matt & I would disagree about growing out our daughter's bangs. This is her hair after a crazy nap...

Take it easy...

They have been running the movie Nacho Libre on TV a bunch lately- it's one of our favorites. Totally awesome.

So Matt got his Nacho Libre mask out the other night- here is Isaac as Nacho wrestling with Pop...
