Out little snowman actually started with eyes, nose, and a mouth but when Lance was in the process of decorating he accidentally decapitated him! So, we gave him a new head but decided not to worry about putting on any facial features.

04.16.09 - Snowman in April
We got a lot of snow last night (Utah weather is so unpredictable) so Lance and I decided to make the most of it! We built our very own little snowman on our back porch and decorated him with gumballs, twigs, and leaves.

04.09.2009 - A New Cousin!!!
John & Christine had their baby today!!! They decided to have the gender of the baby stay a surprise so the delivery was VERY exciting! There were lots of family mebers in attendance for the birth. Some who were running a lttle late (myself included) made that little baby wait a few minutes longer to be born for the "party" (and as Dr. Jones (Uncle Ryan) stated) to arrive. It was definitely a great Birth Day party for the baby.
IT'S A GIRL!!!
Evelyn Covey
6 lbs. 15 oz.
19" long
We all welcomed little Evelyn into the world and were SO excited that we get another girl in the family! Evelyn evened out the score of boys vs. girls for the Covey Family. Now Lance and Johnny-boy have each other and Afton and Evelyn have each other too.
It was so fun to watch my brother (the father) Johnny see that his new little baby was a girl. His face lit-up and he litterally jumped and said, "It's a GIRL!" He was so genuinely excited... he looked like a kid at Christmas who just got the greatest gift ever. I am so glad that I was able to be there and see such pure joy and a true miracle.
We love you John & Christine and are so happy for you and your precious family. Evelyn is so beautiful and I can't wait to spend countless afternoons with our kids playing together and growing up as best little friends.

4.08.2009 - Ice Cream for Breakfast
Yesterday morning while I was laying in bed trying to catch a few more minutes of "sleep" before I needed to get up I had a very funny experience.
Lately there have been many mornings, if not every morning, when my headache is quite bad and it is difficult to get out of bed. The morning schedule usually follows this routine:
6:30AM - Feed Afton
6:45AM - Afton and I go back to sleep
7:30AM - Kiss Michael goodbye as he goes to work
7:45-8:30AM - Lance wakes up
When Lance wakes up he simply gets out of his big boy bed (which is a Full size - lucky boy), opens his door, comes across the kitchen and then opens the door to our bedroom. I always know he is coming because he is just tall enough to turn the handle but it usually takes him a couple of tries.
Once he is in our bedroom he always says, "Mommy! Supposed-be wake!" and he pulls on my hand, or foot, or whatever he can get a hold of to try and force me out of bed. Some mornings when I am really not feeling well I will pretend to keep sleeping or try to explain that Mommy needs to rest a little longer. Lance has been good about doing his own thing and terrorizing around the house while I try to muster up the will to get out of bed.
Many mornings I will find empty cereal boxes with the contents all over the kitchen floor, or candy wrappers that he managed to get by climbing on top of the food storage cans to reach a higher shelf. Yesterday morning he found a new treat.
When I am laying in bed and hear Lance rummaging through things I know that everything is okay, but when it's quite... that's when there is trouble. It was a little too quite and I knew that Lance had gotten into something that he shouldn't.
From my bed I called, "Laaance, where are you?"
"In the kitchen."
"What are you doing?"
"Eating icecream!!!"
"What? How did you get it?"
"From the fridge! I was hungry Mommy!!!"
By this time I had gotten out of bed and was standing over him as he was eating a tub of icecream. He had got his "Nemo step" (a little step stool) to reach the drawer where the forks are and had pulled out the carton of icecream from the fridge. He was sitting in the middle of the floor smiling ear to ear about his accomplishment. He had no shame and I couldn't help but smile. The kid was hungry, what was I supposed to expect? =)
