30 weeks

I realized I hadn't done a belly pic in a while.
You should see the looks I've been getting when I tell people I still have a couple of months left! Lol...

Picking Strawberries

I told Nicholas when he woke up this morning that we were going to a farm to pick strawberries, and he got so excited! Then, I told him he was going to see his friend Julia there, and he went crazy. He marched right downstairs to the door and demanded his shoes get put on. We still had about 30 minutes before we even had to leave the house, so I had to stall him for a while. It was funny because Julia's mom said she did the same thing, and wouldn't even eat breakfast because she was so excited to play with her friends Nicholas and TJ! The kids all had a blast and we all brought home some yummy strawberries.

They were so excited!

He looks so old in this picture!!

He was eating so many strawberries, I started taking them out of his bucket and putting them into mine! I wouldn't have been able to bring any home if I didn't!

Julia and her 2 boyfriends! :D

At this point he was too mad at me to fully enjoy the tractor because I had just run him down in the field to keep him from running into a busy road. Plus, he was upset because he had to settle for this ledge, and you can't drive the tractor from there! Silly mom...

Those faces kill me! Too funny :)

Grass

Remember Auggie? *If you don't, it was a little St. Augustine grass plant that Tyler had to grow for one of his classes. He has had it growing in a bucket in the backyard ever since and recently put him in the ground. In a good way.

Also, Tyler got selected for a special one week internship this summer with the USGA. He had to send in a picture for their newsletter and I thought they were nice, so I will share. :)

Girls Trip!

My first time away from my little boy overnight was for a trip with some ladies from my ward down to Daytona for the weekend. It was a blast, and I was able to get over the initial separation anxiety because I realized that as soon as these twins are born I will basically be on house arrest for a very long time. :)
Anyway, thanks to all the ladies that made this trip so fun! I hope I can go next year too!

Tractors

**UPDATED** with a video
Nicholas loves tractors because he has gone to visit daddy at work a few times and gotten to ride (and even steer!) the tractor on occasion. So Tyler went to a trade show last week and brought back an official John Deere toy tractor for Nicholas. He now carries that in one hand and Mater in the other pretty much all the time.

Easter 2012

**UPDATED**
Um... We took a lot more pictures on the good camera but I haven't sat down at the computer for a while. I will add more pictures of Easter tomorrow. (maybe)
For now this post can be considered a placeholder.

OK Here are the pictures from the good camera. :) (Brace yourself.)

He got a Buzz toy that is almost as big as him. And he got a couple of motorcycle toys. 

Nicholas took this picture. I kind of love it :)

A package came from Grandma Janice and Grandpa Malin. Nicholas was so excited to have more "presents" to open.

When I pulled this out of the box, I knew exactly who they were for. So this is me handing them directly to Tyler.

Passover 2012

Nicholas and I went down for Passover again this year. Unfortunately Tyler had to stay home and work, but luckily Jessica was able to come with us and so she was the designated driver. :) I can't really handle that long of a drive these days...
Here are a couple of pictures from the dinner, and a couple more from the next morning at grandma's of Nicholas helping Grandma Rhoda water her plants :)
Since I'm posting this from my phone some of the pics might be out of order... It is weird like that.
Oh, also I snapped a few pictures of the Ft Lauderdale Temple site as we drove past.
