Update

We have been happy but not very busy since I last posted, so here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately. Megan's hair is long enough to braid now and I love it! I must have braided a little to tight because her hair was pretty stiff.

We went from beautiful 70 degree weather to snow and below freezing. We're grateful to finally have moisture though so we've been content playing dress-up inside.

I apologize for the poor picture quality! My camera has not been the same since it went swimming in the bath tub several months ago. I hope to get a new one in the next couple of months, so if anyone has camera reccomendations, or a website to start my research I'm open to suggestions.
I had a baby shower for my sister-in-law a few weeks ago and it turned out so well! She got some really cute gifts and is mostly set for her baby to come in May. Here is a diaper cake I made for a table center piece. It's the first one I've made and I was pretty proud of it!

Meg is growing so big and more beautiful everyday! She has such a fun, independent personality.

We've also been busy with yardwork. A neighbor came over last weekend and helped us pull some very old, large, ugly shrubs out of our front yard.

Here are the shrubs before we pulled them out. It makes our yard look so much bigger! I don't have an after picture because it's still a mess, but once we have grass I will post a picture!

Gavin got a buzz haircut because...

He started the job himself! It's already growing back and doesn't look too bad anymore. Oh the joys of my wonderful children!

New Toys

Spring is in the air here so we have been enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. A family in our ward is moving in a few months so they sold us their four wheelers!!! We took them out for a test drive today and loved it. I am very inexperienced when it comes to ATVs, but we went to a fun area with rough terrain and plenty of trails so I could practice.
Gavin's favorite part was the helmet, but he was "very brave" and did ride for a little while.

They are small, but a good size for me, and of course Mark likes them too. I feel like I have more control on the small ones than on the bigger ones that are twice my size.

It was quite the balancing act for Megan to walk around with this "hat" on.

Megan did better than expected and went for a long ride with daddy. It was such a fun day!
