from oldest to youngest

Josh is doing surgery right now. He doesn't want to be a surgeon. Next rotation is one he got to choose: allergy and immunology. He might want to be an allergist. We'll just have to wait and see. He loved his last two rotations which were out-patient internal medicine and rural family medicine.
We've been playing Super Mario Brothers. We are awful. Its probably a form of neglect to not get your kids some kind of gaming system when they are young. Josh and I are both the product of a no Nintendo home. Josh is better than me. Its still embarrassing.
That's my mom and me at the San Diego Temple.
I'm running. A little over 3 weeks ago a friend told me I should run a marathon. It took less than half an hour for me to convince myself it was a good idea. It actually was a crazy idea. Three days later I ran 18 miles. For about an hour afterwards I thought I would never walk again. I recovered, and I've done it again. So, on April 16th I'm attempting my first marathon in Olathe, Kansas.
Oh, Venna. She loves her friends. I love to see her papers from school. I love to see the words she sounds out to write. Her drawings are getting so detailed. She's getting too old.

Here she is making her Valentine box with her dad. I had the pleasure of helping with the class Valentine party. I wish I was 6. Pure, innocent fun.
Oh, Jonah. He's discovered dinosaurs. His favorite song is Billionaire (from Glee). He has been pretending to be a dog for 2 days.
He may act like a big tough guy but he still likes his kiki (blanket) and warm milk.
Oh, Tucker. He pulls himself up. He discovered the garbage can. He can clap. He loves drinking water.

I'm the product of a multi-gaming system home, and I still suck. You would probably beat me. Then I'd probably throw the controller at you, declare the game "stupid" and storm out.

Natalie stills like her milk to be warm too. She will drink her juice cold though. I love reading your blog. Venna is such a beautiful girl. The boys are cute too.
