Aaron's Face

Aaron had a dancing disaster. When Aaron does anything he does it all out. One night we were dancing and he was trying out a new move. Somehow he jumped up and rolled in the air and landed flat on his face. He didn't even put his hands out it happened so fast. Both lips were split and his nose was bleeding. We got him calmed down and the bleeding stopped and it seemed like he was doing ok so we put him to bed. A couple of hours later he woke up crying and incoherent. When Bob said his name and Aaron asked "Where's Aaron?". That made us a little nervous. And then he started throwing up. Bob took him to urgent care. The doctor said nothing was broken and he didn't have a concussion. His stomach was just irritated from swallowing a lot of blood. His face was so swollen for the next few days and he had some big scabs and a black eye. He wouldn't let me take a picture until it was mostly better. And then when we'd go anywhere he'd cover his scabs so no one would see.

51s 2011

We love going to the 51s games. Bob's the only one who actually watches the game much. We decided it's like paying to go to the park. Because the kids love to run around and climb trees and play catch and eat snacks. There just happens to be a baseball game going on at the same time. This time we went over spring break and Grandma Zonda was here helping us move in so she got to come to the game too. It was a perfect night.

Easter

We had a great Easter. All the Woolleys came for Easter and to see our new house. And Casey and Kami brought Boston for us all to meet. It was great to see everyone and have enough room for them. We had family pictures taken too. The kids had fun finding their baskets in our new house. The pool was still a little cool, but people still tried out the pool.

Our New House

We moved into our new house on April 16. We love it! We have so much space now. The bedrooms are big, our backyard is huge and the pool is great. We feel so blessed. Ruby has her own pink bedroom. Danny and Rachel share a room (only until Ruby is a little older then Rachel will move in with her) and Seth and Aaron share. Plus we have a playroom and office. The house was in great shape when we moved in so we haven't had to do much to it. And we got renters into our other house right away.

Chollo

We recently realized that Seth calls Aaron "Chollo". We don't know where that came from or how long he's been doing it before we realized that he meant Aaron when he said Chollo. Seth says everyone else's name just fine and he can say Aaron if we ask him to, but most of the time he calls him Chollo. All of us, except Aaron, think it's pretty funny.

Danny is 9

Danny is such a great boy. He's a hard worker and loves to go at 100% when he gets into things. His current loves are baseball, cub scouts, playing with his best buddy CJ, school, and riding bikes.

He has a strong testimony and sense of right and wrong. He tries so hard to live the gospel. He's a great example in our family. He's patient and loving with his younger brothers and sisters. He takes good care of them and loves to organize big games and projects with them.

For his birthday, we had pizza and went to see the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie at the drive in, just like we did last year. He wanted a chocolate Costco cake just like his dad had and cookies and cream ice cream. We also went swimming at our new-house-to-be. He got an automatic nerf gun, a bb gun to share with his dad and brother, and a 6 pound bag of gummy bears--All things he was dying to get.
