Here in Arizona the weather is already beautiful, as other parts of the country are still getting snow!  It's actually already hit 90 degrees here but has  been mostly hovering around the low 80's.  And I have to say...Jace looks so darn cute with his little bird legs sticking out of his shorts!  So here we are already a quarter of the way through the  year.  We don't have much to report yet, which could be considered a good thing I think.  Just a few quick little notes on the latest...

Jace has had numerous ear infections over the past 6 months so we haven't resumed his swimming lessons.  Then the night before my birthday he got super sick with strep throat.  I don't think any of the other kids ever had that, nor do I think I've had it, but it was terrible!  He had a really high temperature and couldn't even move or keep his eyes open so I rushed him to urgent care.  Thankfully the medicine helped quite quickly, but he was still pretty sick for like 4 days.  Either he's having a growth spurt now or making up for that week he didn't eat because he is eating like a horse!  We signed Jace up for a new preschool next year, Christ Greenfield.  It's a Christian one that is a private school serving preschool through 8th grade.  We've heard great things about it and are excited to have him going there this coming school year.  Jace also started T-ball two weeks ago and so far it's a little slow going, but they are only 4.  :o) 

Let's see, what else...Umm, some of Jace's latest sayings are "on the money!" and  "are you kidding me?".  We went to the Renaissance Festival last weekend, where Jace rode an elephant, a camel, and llama along with some regular rides.  As Brent and I grow less fond of riding rides it appears Jace is growing more fond of them, go figure.  Also last week being Spring Break, my Mom and I took Jace to the Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium.  Once again he had to ride every ride there, Bamma and I were pooped!  There are some pictures of both adventures out on Flickr.  Oh yeah, Uncle Paul, Aunt Gayle and Cousin Jennifer who live in Washington came by for dinner.  They are from Brent's Dad's side of the family and the first to visit us here from that side.  It was a great surprise to see them!  

Well, I think that's really about it for now.  Jace is just doing good as usual, still going to preschool, church and Bamma's.  He's learning and growing so much, it's great to watch the transformation from a toddler to a little boy.  He's still enjoying his latest cat "Cookie" who enjoys Jace's fish he has in his room AND picking on our dog Daisy.  :o)  We hope you all come visit sometime soon and until next time...XOXO!
