So not a whole lot has been going on lately, just the usual run-of-the-mill stuff. Amy is really working hard on learning how to crawl.
Right now she does a mixture of army crawl/scooting and rolling to get to where she wants to go. One of the funniest things she does is when she is sitting up, she will use her legs to slowly spin herself around. She will stay in the same spot, just turning 180 degrees - very cute (but also very hard to capture on camera)
A picture of some fun Sam had the other day. I taped a big piece of contact paper to the table and let him use sprinkles to decorate. Problem was he likes to just dump the entire bottle on the picture (kinda like when we have the kids do cupcakes, right Julie? :)
And then last week we decided to make a quick trip to see our good friends the Southwicks at their home in Meridian, Idaho (right next to Boise and where they are also building a new temple!) I went to nursing school with Ashlee and we were also some of the first ones to get married, so we hung out alot. We really miss having them close and doing late night games like Mega Monopoly, Settlers of Zarahemla and The Farming Game :)
The kiddos both fell asleep in the car on the way down, but Amy woke up fairly early and started to scream, waking Sam up. And she proceeded to scream for the last hour and a half of the drive. Same for the drive home. We probably won't be going on any road trips for a while, that back seat is NOT big enough for an adult between the carseats.
We had a blast with our friends and Sam and Ian learned to be friends as well. They both really liked going bowling and then visiting an aquarium where you could touch just about every fish in the place (it wasn't THAT big, but still pretty cool to be able to touch so many!)
Silly boys!
And the girls, Amy and Lilia. Thanks to the Southwicks for having us for the weekend, it was a great quick trip!!

I feel like both your kids have grown a bunch since I last saw them...and it's only been a few months!
I can't believe how big Amy is! She is adorable and Sam is too of course! Great idea with the sparkles, William and Charley would love that!
We're glad you guys could come over. I'm sorry that Amy had such a tough time in the car! Hopefully we'll see you again sometime soon.
Go, Amy, go!
