Some more pictures from the "Day After"

When we had our first baby, Ashley, we ignorantly thought that all babies were born healthy. But after our last, Graham, we truly recognize what a blessing from heaven to have 5 healthy and beautiful babies.

Kim is likewise healthy and beautiful, she is resting as I write this. Thanks again for the prayers and your kind words over the past 9 months. It is also a blessing from heaven to have such wonderful friends and extended family.

Trying a quick blog from the iPad

So here is a quick try at getting this to work from the new iPad that Kim got me for Father's Day. Kim, by the way, was very thoughtful in getting this for me. Thanks Kim, maybe for the 4th of July I'll get you a VitaMix.

"swing me please"

Just a couple of pictures of Sedi being pushed on the swing. Her favorite thing at the park!!

Father and Sons outing!

Will took the boys out for the night instead of going to the father/sons campout. Will didn't want to go as it was my b-day the next day. They went to Red Robin for dinner, then headed to Dick's sporting goods and ended up getting Nolan a Under armor outfit. He said he always wanted an under armor shirt. Then headed to the movies to see Rio in 3D. When they got home we all ended up sleeping on the trampoline! They had so much fun and loved being with Dad all night. Deacon ended up with flip flops and a shirt the next day from Kohl's since he didn't get anything at Dick's the night before. Deacon loved those 3d glasses!!

General Conference at the cabin

We headed up to the mountains for some r/r. We got addicted to Dominoes and had fun playing Mexican train and chicken foot. We also had fun taking walks to find golf balls, which we found 8 of them close to the property, running on the golf course and eating lots of yummy food!

Wolf Badge

Nolan worked hard in scouts and received his WOlF. He had to drink wolf blood (kool-aid) and gets to put a pin on mom. I love being Nolan's Wolf leader and get to see him in action doing all the requirements!

Pinewood Derby

Nolan had his 1st Pinewood Derby this March. Will and Nolan spent several nights working on it and loved every minute. Even though he didn't place, he did win some of his heats, which made him happy. Way to go Nolan!!

Spring Break fun!

We had a fun Spring break in March! Since Will was working and me being sick we just played in town. Monday -we stayed home and cleaned the house and just played around. Tuesday- we went to Basha pool and swam for a few hours and ate pizza for lunch. Wed- the Zoo. Thursday- we headed back to Basha for more swimming. Friday- Nolan went to Amazing Jakes for a b-day party and the rest of us headed to Skateland. What a fun place for kids. Then the last day was Monday(inservice day)- we went bowling and to Mesa's frozen yogurt. I'm so glad I was feeling o.k. that week! I didn't take any pictures at the Zoo.
