My new phone

Here is a picture of my new phone. The guy at Verizon tried really, really hard to talk me into getting a more expensive one. I didn't bite. So I hope that I don't have problems with this since he said I might. But I talked to my awesome brother, Jon, and he sat on the phone with me and looked up reviews, and gave me his opinion.

So, what seemed like 2 hours at the Verizon store I got a new phone, the one I wanted. Cheaper, but still way more technologically advanced than I have ever had. I will say that I was a little irritated that the guy at the store was treating me like a little kid when he was trying to explain how this thing works. I took the phone and hooked up both my emails and facebook while he was doing something on his computer, and he was very surprised that I could do it that quick. Hello, I'm not stupid:)

Alex (7) was with me at the store, and he took the phone while I was talking to the dude, and he found the App store, got a few games and was sitting playing them. Okay, now that I was impressed with. How do these kids learn these things so quickly?

I did it I bought myself a fancy new phone! I love it so far and there is so much to learn. I am lying in bed snuggling with my baby and posting to my blog on this little phone. I have never had a laptop so this whole not having to sit in a chair is pretty awesome!

Easter eggs 2010

Alex showing off his eggs.

Ben with his good ol' cheesy smile, and grandpa Clift.

Every year grandpa Clift comes over and dies easter eggs with the kids. They all have so much fun! (and grandma doesn't have to worry about egg dye at her house:)

California Ag day

For a field trip I took the kids to the California state capital for Agrictulture day. They had horses, sheep, alpacas, produce, flowers, milk, nuts, pretty much everything that California produces. Alex and Ben had fun playing in a huge tractor. Katelyn got to spin some Alpaca wool. There were a lot of people, and Ben was too nervous to sit in the stroller and made me hold him almost the whole time so I didn't get many more pictures. But the kids and I had a great time, tried some new things (like lamb--we didn't like it), and learned a lot!

Valentine's Day

We were so lucky to have so many loved ones near us for Valentine's day! Joel's brother's family was here, my sister's family then came too. I made sugar cookies and had all the kids frost and decorate valentine's day cookies with sprinkles. They had a blast! Then we decorated a big valentine's banner with a bunch of stickers (don't have a picture of that though)

Feb 2010

We went to Jelly Belly with Joel's brother and family. We had so much fun with them when they came to visit!

Update Pictures!

I am the musical director at the local catholic school, and we put on School House Rock Jr. in February. They tricked Joel and told him they needed help lifting heavy things behind stage, instead they gave him a wig and he was a "founding father" He was a really good sport!

Katelyn got to be a dancer in the play. She had a lot of fun, and she loved the experience!

Our fun cousins came to visit, and we loved spending lots of time with them. Cami and Katelyn are the best of friends!

With our cousins at Kids Gone Wild.

Joel's birthday. He went to a LDS bookstore and bought tons of new books and such, so on his actual birthday all he had to open was hair cutting clippers!

We celebrated Joel's birthday with his grandpa. He always treats us so great on our birthdays and gets us delicious cakes!

I have hundreds of pictures to go through. That's what happens when your camera dies and then your computer dies. So many more pictures to come!
