Easter egg hunt and a new car

This week has been pretty busy. Brad started coaching at Glenwood High School this week and so far he is enjoying it. Their first game is Monday March 31, so we will see how they do.

Donovan is still up to his old tricks. He can't sit still and be happy about it. I think he is the most fidgety and vocal when we are at church. He usually isn't too loud during Sacrament Meeting, but we do get grins and chuckles from a lot of the people around us...mostly Lenna and Scott and sometimes Hannah. He is also fairly loud when he eats. If you have seen "What about Bob?" you will know what we are talking about when we call him Bob at the dinner table.


He may be loud and obnoxious, but he is still our sweet little baby boy and we love him no matter what.

Donovan really enjoys lounging in his high chair. We let him play with his spoon after he was done eating so we could eat and he just chilled and watched us while he chewed on the spoon.

In other news, I finally completed one of Donovan's baby quilts. Brad's mom, sister, and sisters in law had already sewn most of it together, my job was to sew the outside edge and snip all the edges to make them fray...Tia brought it to me shortly after Donovan was born and I just finished it last night, how sad is that? Lenna was the one who finally motivated me to finish. I had most of the snipping done, I just had to sew around and snip the outer edge. We were going over there yesterday so she put white thread in her machine so I could get it done. Thanks Lenna! It turned out really cute, I even washed it last night so I could snip off the loose strings, and I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a nice Easter present for Donovan. He really likes it. He was staring at it and feeling the frayed edges this morning. After I showed him his quilt, I let him open an egg with a biter biscuit inside, but then I was mean and wouldn't let him eat it.

We had an Easter Egg hunt at David and Joyce Hanks' house with Donovan and Mason yesterday. Hannah was the Easter Bunny and "hid" all the eggs for the little boys in the yard. It was sprinkling and cold, but it was still fun to watch Mason. Donovan mostly just tried to grab sticks and grass, he wasn't too interested in the eggs. We still managed to get some fun pictures. Lenna has the pictures of our family and Donovan opening Easter gifts from his Granny on her camera and I have her pictures of Mason opening eggs, so we will have to swap at dinner tonight or something and I can post it later. It was nice to see David and Joyce and nice of them to let us use their yard!

You can see that I dyed my hair darker, is it okay ShayLea? I still need to chop it, but I am going on step at a time.

Donovan is starting to get into things. We try to play in his room most of the time because I don't care so much about what he gets into there, but he has found a favorite spot in our living/front room. He always goes for our basket of books and will sometimes crawl under our table full of pictures. His favorite place in his room is the bucket I put his washcloths and towels in. He loves to pull everything out and hit the bucket against things to make a noise.

And finally, here are pictures of our new car. We have been talking about getting a second car for a while now and finally had a little time to look for one. It is an '07 Hyundai Sonata Limited Edition (so it has leather heated seats, etc.) We got a very good deal on it because our Stake President is the owner of one of many different types of dealerships. He is a very generous man and we really appreciated his time in helping us find the vehicle that we felt was a good match for us. It is in very good condition and has less miles on it than a lot of the other '07 models we were looking at. We like it a lot and feel very good about our purchase.
