Fun pics from Jordanne

Here are some cute photos that Jordanne took. She took them of Dallas, Dallas and Landon (his cousin, and the farm as well. Enjoy!

My hard workers. For my birthday Ace and Dallas Jay built a fence and a beautiful bench around our huge apricot tree. It is amazing. Thanks guys! Here some cute pics of the kids and the fence.

The Wedding!

Well, we made it through Nick and Angela's wedding with only gale force winds and rain! Well, maybe not gale force, but it was pretty strong. We had just barely gotten the tables and chairs all set up outside when the rains came. And, they only stuck around long enough to make a mess. Fortunately, the wedding was at this beautiful house that had plenty of room inside.


We spent some time in SLC and had a really good time. For the bachelor's party, we went golfing and then ate at Rodizio's. Meat on a sword. It doesn't get better than all you can eat meat on a sword!
The wedding was beautiful, and Nick and Angela looked wonderful.


And, we had a great time having all of the cousins together! That hasn't happened since Dallas Jay was 18 months!



And, we had a great time with Nick and Nancy. They have a beautiful home and I realized that there are two things I really appreciate about Nancy that most may not know (among many), 1) she has the most amazing penmanship, it looks like it should be a font on the computer, 2) she is such a great host that she thought to buy Dallas Jay animal crackers and leave them on his pillow. Wonderful people.

Jyl, Dallas Jay, Sofi and Nancy went to the zoo while we golfed. They had a great time. Jyl said if it wasn't for Nancy, she may have sold the kids!

Needless to say, we had a wonderful time in Utah, and we are so blessed to be able to have spent so much time with our family! And, by the way, Jyl is one amazing photographer, she shot the whole wedding!

We made it! Ace graduated this weekend and we blessed Sofia as well. Thanks to everyone who came, we had a great party and lots of good company to enjoy.Sofi's beautiful dress was made by Aunt Shannon, thanks Shannie! Dallas got to go to graduation practice with Ace and loved going down on the field. It was truly a great weekend and we are looking forward to some R and R. Enjoy the pics and lots of love, The Call family.

Clarification!!!

So, I love my wife, and it is only because of her that I was able to get through the MBA program. I'm proud of her for sticking with my grumpy [insert adjective] throughout this whole process! But, I must say that she is talking me up more than she should in the preceding post. But, that's why I love her, she always makes the kids and I feel special! She is an amazing wife, friend and mother.
Speaking of Mothers' Day, Happy Mother's day to you all.
We're looking forward to seeing you all at our party Saturday, and hope you will stay for the blessing Sunday.
Take care,
-Ace

Update on Dallas

He is doing great! His voice is much higher, but we can understand him so much better! Exciting news on our home front ... Ace passed orals! Not only did he pass orals but his assessors told him he was fantastic and that he had thought of a solution that Harvard had not. I always knew he was totally amazing and brilliant! So he will be graduating in May and we will also be blessing Miss Sofi! What a great month for our family!

Ahhh...Life with a three year old... can be amazing!

Ace and Sofi.
Sofi already for Easter.
You can tell that we may play guitar hero a bit much at our house. This Sunday one of our friends told us that the sunbeams were singing and that Dallas was totally jamming out on the guitar. He was doing the windmill. That's right in primary! I think it's fantastic. I taught primary and the best part is that the children are so individual and surprise you with random, awesome things. I am so glad that my son is one of those that could put a smile on the primary teachers face. Nothing better as a mom. We are so excited Ace is back to working normal hours and loving it! So are we! Sometimes I think it's easier to be at work then home and would be nice for him to go back to the office, but he's a good sport and laughs most of the time.
Sofi is doing well. We are amazed at how much she is growing and changing each day. It's as if they grow right in front of you! I am just enjoying being at home and not to excited to go back to work, but glad that I am going back to just three days a week, as opposed to the five days that I did when we had D.
Friday is Dallas's surgery and really not a moment to soon because he is starting to get sick again, the whole eyes and nose draining with a cough. Right now he is hanging on my back and swaying back and forth to the music. Man I love this kid.
