New CHICKS!!

We added to our family yesterday! 4 new members who will in 6 months lay us some eggs. You guessed it...we bought some baby chicks. They are pretty cute and we have started holding them to get them to know us a little more. Max says he could hold them all day. Hopefully he will be just as excited about them when they are older. Easter will be here in a few weeks and Max is looking forward to of course finding eggs in the clever places that the Easter bunny leaves them. And most importantly we love to have a special day set aside to celebrate the the Savior, Jesus Christ and His resurrection. He is amazing!
Also my brother and sister in law are expecting their second child! So excited for them and for our family to welcome in a new member in 7 months. We love all of those little ones that come into our family. So far we have 12 nieces and 8 nepehws on Camille's side and 2 nephews on Brandon's side. Big party when we all get together. Families are very important and we love every one of them.
We are continuing to hope that we will grow our little family through adoption.

Jazz Game!

Brandon and I got to go to the Jazz game last weekend with some friends of ours. Max went and stayed at his grandparents house, he had a great time! They have Mario Brothers on their wii. He is pretty good at it and enjoyed showing us how well he plays. The game was fun and especially so with the friends we went with. We had a ticket for their daughter who is in the Young Women in our ward. Camille is the Beehive leader and gets to spend time with the great girls there. The Jazz Bear was great to watch, he's pretty goofy. He stuck a light on top of a bald man's head and then put a basketball hoop on his head and tried to make some baskets. Of course the man was a good sport. We went out to eat before the game at a Mexican restaurant and we ate the chimichungas (we found out from our friends that chunga in Spanish means female monkey behind, gross). Anyway the evening was great. And we are going over to their house tomorrow night and having dinner and game night. We always have a great time with them. Good friends make life even more great.

Max and his friend Sadie



Max and Sadie have some great times together. Sadie loves to catch snowballs in her mouth and will jump up really high to catch them. Max has shown her how to dig and when they are playing he will say "dig, Sadie dig" and she will. She is also very protective of him and wants to be with him. She is still a puppy and very hiper but she is learning to calm down some. We are looking forward to summer time for bike riding, camping, gardening, etc. Summertime is very much needed :)
