OK, we've been major slackers on updating our site. Here are some pictures from tonight's Trick-or-Treating. The kids got spoiled over in the Evans' neighborhood. They got SO much candy! We had to dump their buckets into the stroller halfway through so they could keep going. There were at least 5 different houses that were giving out FULL SIZE candy bars (Snickers, Reese's, etc.). Mom and Dad were so jealous! Anna even got in on the fun and snuck a KitKat and a Twix. "Mmmmm!" she said.

Well, blow me down!
We thought we were safe from hurricanes here in the desert southwest, but I swear that's almost what we got the other night. We had a wind storm with some pretty strong winds that blew our nice shady mesquite tree over this week. We're pretty bummed since it's shade covered the majority of our back yard during the day and shaded the west side of the house in the afternoon. We were lucky, though, that it didn't do any damage to the house. It just came to a soft rest against the patio cover with the branches reaching our bedroom window. We didn't hear it when it blew over. We were awake but all we heard was a squeaking noise upstairs. When I went up to the bedroom I opened the window and there it was!
Jacob's enjoying having his brother home all day - he now has 3 extra hours to tease Aaron! They're both excited to start swimming lessons from one of the girls in our ward.
Anna's a bundle of joy and is just about to crawl. She's loves to babble while mixing in some of her favorite new words she's learning like "bread", "up", "that", as well as the stand-bys "buh-buh" (which stands for "Mommy", "brother", "bottle", and "binky", to name a few), and of course, my long-time favorite: "Da-da."
We hope all is going will with all of you. Love you all!
Paul, Amy and the gang

I guess it's just the Lord's way of telling us that we should plant a garden in that spot instead...
Otherwise things are going well. Aaron graduated from Kindergarten and had a fun graduation ceremony. They sang a few fun songs that they learned and received their diplomas. Aaron's looking forward to the summer vacation but is excited to start 1st grade in a few months.Jacob's enjoying having his brother home all day - he now has 3 extra hours to tease Aaron!

Monkey Business
Hi all,
This one will be quick - I'm not feeling too well and with this time change thing I need to get to bed. But we've had a good week apart from the nasty cold that's made it's way through the family. It was fun to have Nate visit for a few days. We joined him in watching BYU down Wyoming on Friday night, but had to catch last night's debacle on the radio. But congrats to the Cougs for making the tournament! Hopefully they can make it through the first round and then redeem themselves by knocking off #1 Ohio State.
Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks. Included are some pictures of Aaron in his first grade school musical. The Missoula Children's Theater was in town at Aaron's grade school to do the production of the Jungle Book. It was a lot of fun and Aaron got to be one of the "Leader Monkeys," which included a couple of speaking parts. He had a great time and really had fun singing and dancing around on the stage.
Jacob's excited for his birthday tomorrow. We can't believe our little boy is going to be 3! He's excited to have some friends come to his party at the park tomorrow. We'll be sure to send pictures of the festivities next week.
Anna's doing great and is loving the freedom of being able to roll over. She's a little squealer and loves to laugh at her brothers. We also can't believe she'll be 6 months next week. How time flies!
We hope you all have a great week. Take care!
Love,
The Las Vegas Laceys

Fishy February
Hi All,
What an eventful month! We've had a great time here enjoying (until today) the nice 70 degree weather. Of course it rained today - the day I took the boys to go fishing at Sunset Park. We had a great time and the boys each got to reel in a fish. Aaron wanted to bring his home as a "pet" but I had to convince him that it wouldn't survive long in the refridgerator, even though his plans called for a "basket without a lid." Here's a video of Aron reeling in the monster.
We had a fun Valentine's Day week. The boys had some friends over to make and decorate cookies and Amy and I got to have a great date at our Stake's Valentine's Day Dance (see pictures below!). We got spoiled with a great dinner, which included a sushi bar and a chocolate fountain. The members of our ward really were the life of the party and we had a lot of fun.
The kids continue to be the life of our own little party. Aaron's big news is that he's got two loose teeth! He's been so jealous of his friends who have started to get wiggly teeth. He was bummed last summer when he almost knocked one of his teeth out that it didn't come out then so he's looking forward it now.
Jacob was sick for a few days last week so he's grateful to be feeling better. He was just tickled this morning to be able to go for a ride in "Daddy's white car."
Anna got to try rice cereal today for the first time. She's really started to show her little personality and is ready to start exploring her little world. She rolled over for the first time last week and isn't so content to just sit or lay in one place for longer than a few minutes.
Most of the rest of our last few weeks are documented in the pictures in the album below. Feel free to take a look to see what we've been up to.
We hope you are all doing well. Drop us a line and let us know what you've been up to. Our prayers are with Grandma Lacey as she's in the hospital this week. Get better soon!
Love,
Paul, Amy and the kids.
