Update

Scott went to Texas this week again. The owners are selling the Texas property so Scott is looking for a new job. He had a job interview this week as an apartment manager of a complex in Nampa and he got the job. That job doesn't start until May so until then he will continue to do his current job but he will also see if he can find an even better job between now and then.

On Thursday we went to the park for almost 2 hours. It's so nice when the weather starts to warm up after we've all been cooped up for months. Other than that we did the usual story times and went to the indoor gym for the last time this year.

Yesterday our stake had a blood drive so I signed up. I've only given blood twice and it's not easy for me. I have small veins that like to roll. The last time I gave blood was on Christmas Eve 5 years ago and all of us that donated blood came down with the stomach flu (Corbin was sick and it must have weakened our immune systems). Well I warned the phlebotomist that I have rolly veins and I think he thought I was an idiot until he tried to get my vein. He poked the needle in and then he had to dig and dig and dig. After that being unsuccessful he called over his boss who then dug a few times. They finally got the blood to flow but it was slow flowing. After nearly 20 minutes the bag was about a half an inch from the top and the guy told me he had to pull the plug. I told him to try to dig some more. He said he couldn't. I told him to try to other arm and he said he couldn't. What! If you don't get the bag filled in 20 minutes they can't accept your donation. So I went through all of that pain and lost almost a liter of blood for nothing!!! Let's just say I won't be attempting to donate blood again any time soon.

Ryan has been medium crabby this week. He has been waking up almost every night though this week. I don't know if he's having a growth spurt or what. On Wednesday night he was having some sort of drama mama and he was up screaming most of the night. I gave him gas drops, gripe water, and Tylenol. Nothing seemed to do the trick. I was up all night with him. We had three small power naps where he would finally give it up and sleep for 30 minutes to an hour. It was crazy. I think it was his tummy by the way he was arching his body and screaming. It was nuts. I've never been up in the night like that with one of my babies before that wasn't a few days or weeks old.

Corbin likes to try to sneak the iPad in his bed at night. Scott went to go and find it and Corbin said, "I wonder how this keeps getting in my bed?" I wonder.

Gabby: "He's just making me crazy." (Corbin)
"I really love Ryan."

Piper:
Me: "Piper can you say ga ga Gabby?" P:"Ga, ga, Abby."
Often when my kids get up in the morning they come to me in my bed and request breakfast or to watch a show. One morning Piper came to me first thing in the morning and instead woke me up to say, "go to Nana, Papa's house." Ha!

Ryan keeps rolling himself into trouble.

Sunday nap

He's started to grab his toes. I love when babies do that.

Cute piggies. Almost any time I ask Piper to smile for a picture she pulls that face.

Gabby:"Hi Piper." P: "Hi, Abby I'm habing a nack."

Or she also likes to pull this face.

Gabby coloring and coloring and coloring.

Cuddles. This baby has me wrapped around his finger.

One of Ryan's nicknames is "Stinky Pete" because he spits up all the time and rarely doesn't smell like barf. It's extra awesome now that he is rolling over everywhere. I get to clean up barf piles all over my floor.

I had to get into the headbands and Gabby kept putting them on Ryan.
