This is big....really big!

Here is some big Findlay baby news.... our "baby" has conquered a major habit- thanks to some good old fashioned bribery and a few stickers.....




We struck up a deal with Jack that if he stopped sucking his fingers for 10 whole days, we would buy him a star wars lego set that he's wanted very badly. Kaitlyn made him a cute chart, the deal was set and look what happened....

He actually did it. Really did it. Not one sucky finger day. Not one sucky finger while holding "blankie." Not one sucky finger in the car. He really did it.


So after 10 days, we headed to the store to pick up the prize- which was kinda pricey for a kid his age-like $80.
BUT....we had promised him and honestly didn't think he would actually do it (he was totally addicted to those fingers!)



These are the two fingers he USED to suck...


And this is the real reason he wanted that Lego set. MORE STAR WARS GUYS!


We're very proud of him. Our baby is turning into a big boy.

Let's go fly a kite....and build a snowman???

It was warm and beautiful on Monday, so we decided to go fly a kite at the park for FHE
(notice the fair condition of the mountain...).


The sky and sunset were cool....


Fast forward 24 hours...same mountain. By the time I took this picture, the snow had already melted down by our house. We had about 2-3 inches.


It's a typical Utah spring, so I guess we'll just stay inside and eat really big strawberries!
