I am ready for May and some SUN!!

This month has been non stop crazy, we have been so busy with ear infections, new babies in the family, road trips, ear infections, Easter and more ear infections, and it is only the middle of the month! Prepare yourself for the longest update ever... here we go:

First we started out the month with a road trip down south to see Joel's family and baby Miles (our first nephew). We were so excited to get down to the warm weather, BUT it snowed and rained the whole time we were there! But it was still a fun trip visiting with family and holding the baby. Miles is such a cute little guy and Lukas just loved being where ever the baby was, he would say, "Hi baby," when ever he saw Miles. The other highlight of Lukas' trip was riding Papa's tractor, it was freezing outside but he talked his dad and Papa into taking him two different times. And now Lukas is crazy about tractors. He talks about tractors and puppies all day long. Which make me happy because I am more likely to buy a tractor before a puppy!

We got back from our road trip, and found out Lukas had a double ear infection. Which he had

just had one, two weeks before that, I love ear infections!

Two days after our trip we got another new baby in the family. Josh and ShanDee had their little guy Zachary. Lukas loves baby Zack and can not stop giving him kisses! It is fun having all these new babies to hold, but also great to know I can give them back to their parents!

The Saturday before Easter we drove down to Ogden and met up with our good friends John and Kristy and their kids. They are getting ready to move to New York so we were glad we got to meet up with them before they left. We took the kids to the Dinosaur Park, they had a blast. There were tons of BIG dinosaurs, slides, things to climb on, and a Easter egg hunt.

The kids loved hearing all the dinosaurs roar and growl.

Easter was a fun day, other than Lukas was grumpy the entire day, only to find out the next day his ear infections never went away! But the Easter Bunny found Lukas and brought him a puppy piggy bank (which I am hoping will help him forget that what he really wanted was a real puppy).

This was Lukas Sunday before we left for church. I was so excited about his new suit, but he would not smile for one picture!

So every year since I can remember we have done a Easter Egg race in my family. As we have gotten older we put a new spin on it each year. This year's theme was golf. We had to putt our egg down and back without breaking our egg. We had ShanDee's family with us this year, at first I think they thought we were crazy, but they all ended up racing and had a good time!

Josh ended up with only his yolk, but it was in perfect condition!

So here is the drama with the ear infections. Lukas' ears are not responding to any of the antibiotics that the doctor has given him. So everyday this week I have had to take him to the doctor to get a shot, this antibiotic is suppose to the strongest out there, it looks like maple syrup so it takes a minute for it all to get in his system. Which means Lukas has to lay still for longer than a second, good thing my mom has been able to go with me, because it takes the three of us to hold him down. Anyway by the third shot his ears still had not improved, so I now get to take him to an ENT. Our doctor is pretty sure he needs tubes in his ears. It is so sad to see the little guy in pain, I can tell he does not feel well. Although he still has not slowed down much and continues to acquire a new bruise every minute! So I guess we will see what we find out when we go to the ENT...

On top of all of this, Joel and I have been looking at houses. Hopefully we will find something we like soon.
