Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina...

Sorry for the title. I couldn't think of anything but this line from Kindergarten Cop. Anybody remember that movie? I loved it. "It's not a tuma!" I'm weird, I know... But you know you love me...
I hate I didn't take a picture of this but I wanted to remember it. I found out we're having another boy on Monday, April 19th and was wanting to surprise my parents in person. I decided to make a small cake and tint it blue. I iced it with dark chocolate icing so the blue wouldn't show through and wrote on the top "Boy or Girl...What is it?". My mom thought she was going to have to dig through it and find a gender appropriate baby but my dad immediately saw blue cake and yelled out, "It's blue!". Yay for surprises! Congratulations Vivi and Daddy Mac on another adorable grandson.
In the words of my dad, "Uh oh! Here come those Martino boys!".

Yay! Baseball!

My mom and I took Jonathan to his first Texas Rangers game and he loved it. My mom and I are both huge Rangers fans and Joseph isn't into baseball at all, so we're taking on the responsibility of teaching Jonathan about America's Greatest Pastime. :) We sat right next to the Toronto bullpen so he watched the relief pitchers warming up most of the game. After the game, all he would say was "Yay baseball!" and "Go Rangers!". We will definitely go to many more games this season. C'mon Rangers! This is our year!


Checkin' out the scoreboard

Mmmmm...blue cotton candy

General Conference & Easter Weekend

General Conference was amazing. For those who don't know, General Conference is our church's opportunity to listen to our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson and the Apostles speak along with other members of church leadership every six months. It's incredibly fortifying and uplifting and we always receive guidance from our Heavenly Father on how to better live our lives. Joseph's Uncle Jim spoke in the Sunday afternoon session and it was pretty incredible to see him on TV giving such an amazing talk.

Easter morning, we woke up to the Easter Bunny's gift to Jonathan. I hadn't really prepped Jonathan for who the Easter Bunny is. I don't know why, I think I just kept forgetting. When we opened Jonathan's door I said, "Jonathan! The Easter Bunny came! Check it out!". He just looked at us from his crib and said, "Huh?". It was hilarious! But after he saw all the cool stuff he got, he totally knew what was up. Easter Bunny = candy & presents.
