So here's what we've been up to lately!

My soon-to-be new sister Keri said that my blog is "begging" to be updated... and now that finals are over I don't have many excuses! So here is what's going on with us:

1. Jack and I both finished our Associate's Degrees. I am just glad it's over and finished the semester with all A's. Jack graduated in the top 10% of his class from the BYU-I Nursing Program and got all A's (again :] ) and we're so proud of him.

He will be finishing his Bachelor's online.

2. Jack got a job out in Johnson City, Tennessee! We will be heading East on April 30th (Leighton and I flying; Jack driving). We are so excited to be near our SC family, but we'll miss out ID and UT family very much! We are so excited for this new time in our life though!

3. Leighton is more active and pretty and smart every day! We just adore her and we're so happy for the blessing she is in our life! I am personally so ecstatic to be able to stay home with her :] She is learning things so quick and growing way too fast! Little L is also obsessed with Tangled right now...she loves Disney just like Mom and Dad. She's speaking in a lot of sentences now and loves counting to 20 and telling me all the letters and the sounds they each make. It's hard for Jack and I not to spoil her rotten, she's just so sweet! I can't wait for our SC family to see how much she's grown! (Last time we visited she wasn't even walking!)

Well, I think that's it for me, Jack, and Leighton... but here are some pictures to get you by until I post after Easter (let's not kid ourselves by thinking I will before then... but we are excited to see what the Easter bunny brings :] )

Leighton and her cousin Annabelle watching Tangled..in the wagon, of course! These girls are hilarious together! I had a fun time getting to watch them (and McKinley) and 'play Rapunzel!'

Leighton reading her favorite Toy Story book. She likes to point to each character and tell us who they are. My favorites to hear her say are: "Mr. Pricklepants" and "Stretch"

This is Leighton spinning in Grandpa's office chair. She gets really excited to visit him at work!

While the picture suggests otherwise, Leighton loves eating pickles! She eats the skin and all!
