I didn't do it

Poor little Sofia has been beaten up. Last night she was sitting in her chair in the dining room and Jon and I were in the kitchen finishing things up for dinner. Livy was being a helper and feeding Sof some puffs. Then we heard banging and crashing, and then screaming and crying! I ran in there, and there Sofia was tipped over in the chair with her head against the brick wall laying on top of Livy. I am assuming that Livy climbed up on the side of the chair to do who-knows-what, but then made the whole chair fall over. After things were settled down, Sofia was actually quite happy and smiley.

These were taken pretty much right after the whole ordeal
These were taken a couple of hours later that night
This is what she thought of the whole thing. :P
Jaedon is becoming quite the little artist lately, and I must say that I am pretty impressed with what he comes up with. He told me he wanted to draw a picture of Nebraska.
(You may need to click on the image to see it better)
I was mostly impressed with his house WITH steps, and his airplane and helicopter on the left side of the paper. And to end on a happy note..., Jon wore his "short" white coat for the last time today!!

match day, new moon, duck pond, and a card

I am playing catch up, so just to fore warn you, there is A LOT of pictures. I will keep the writing to a minimal though. On March 18th, Thursday, it was Match Day. This is the day where all the Medical students across the nation find out where they are going, or where they "matched" for residency. So we all met at the Hershey Country Club and waited to open a single little white envelope. Although since we are doing an Air Force residency, of course we all ready know where we are going, but we went to join the rest of the class and to see where they were all headed off to.

Waiting patiently Everyone before receiving their letters... Hey look, Jon got a letter too! Hope it says Omaha.
3, 2, 1... open your letters!
Yep, still going to Omaha...whew! I kind of liked all ready knowing where we were going and so I was able to get some good shots of every ones first reaction. Over all I think every one seemed to be pretty happy about the results. (And I think Amber was a little surprised) The Bradford's and Flint's are staying here in Hershey, the Wright's are going to New Mexico, the Brueseke's are going to California, Ashley is going to Washington, the Duncan's to Texas, the Heslop's to Utah, and the Thompson's to Ohio. We then all went out to eat later that evening to celebrate. It was so awesome to all be together and I am definitely going to miss these guys.
If you didn't know, New Moon came out on the 20th! But it has been advertised that you could get it at 12:01am on the 20th. So Jon kept telling me that I needed to go and get it that night. It was an on going joke and came up frequently. BUT, I happened to be up working on this little gem, (which will be revealed on Easter) and by the time I got ready for bed, it was 11:30pm. So I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I went and got the movie tonight and Jon woke up to the movie next to his bed." So I headed off to Wal-Mart thinking I would run in and just grab the movie and be out in like 5 mins. That was not the case. There was a huge line that wounded through the shoe department. So I didn't get back home until almost 1am. But I did surprise Jon with thisAnd Jon is definitely the best husband ever, because he woke up at 6am with the intentions of going and getting me the movie, until he saw it on his night stand. :) And then we both fell back asleep.
We have been having the best weather this past week and so on Saturday we took a jog out to the duck pond and had a little picnic.
I love Jaedon and Livy's expressions in these pictures. Jaedon is ecstatic that they crossed the river and all Livy can think about is that her feet and legs are going to freeze off! Yeah, it's cold
Jaedon slipped...and about lost his shoe
and slipped again, which resulted in wearing just his underwear home
Jaedon continues to amaze us at how well he can pick up and learn things. He came out and told me he was going to write a card to Grandma. And this is what came of it. "This card is from Jaedon and love to grandma grandpa (picture of grandma and grandpa) heart Bassett I love you the best"

can't help but smile

Every time I look at this picture, I just have to laugh. Jaedon is pullin' some swimming kind of pose. Livy is really straining to get a smile. And Sofia, well, she was just thrilled to be up on the couch.

sunshine

We have been seeing some nice weather the last couple of days. And today was great weather, so we got out of our cooped up apartment and enjoyed us some!
Sofia was wishing she could run around like everyone else
Here is some proof that she is standing!! Yes, standing. Of course just for short little spurts, but she is standing. She has been doing it for the last week or so now, and she will just be turning 8 months on the 10th! She is growing up way too fast.
Didn't seem to mind the grass too much Livy was waiting and waiting to hit up the swings
ahhhhh...finally Jaedon was running wild playing who-knows-what... and being a goof ball for the camera
Sadly it is supposed to rain the rest of this week come Wednesday, but it will still be in the 50's at least.
