Quick Summary

Here are some quick snippets of our happenings up until July or so (I got tired up uploading pictures so that is as far as we go this time). We are going backwards in time...

Jenna is smiling more and more. She was straight faced for the longes time but is loosening up as she gets older.

Clint ran Ragnar and had a great time with his team. The running...not so much, but he finished!

We took as exciting trip to vernal in May. Hooray for dinosaurs!

The boys love Jenna and are very good to her.

Reading is definitely a favorite past-time at our home.

Mitchell played coach-pitch baseball this year and loved it.

Grandma and Grandpa helping Caleb and Mitchell re-visit their infant pasts.

Jenna and I got to visit Katherine and her family in Massachussets this spring. It was so fun to see them.

Jenna and her cousin Trevor (who are only a few weeks apart) and their matching outfits.

Jenna and Trevor loving (?) their forced bonding moments.

At the least the moms were having a good time.

Mitchell had 3 of his 4 boy cousins who are close to his age in town. They had fun at their sleepover.

Caleb turned 3 in February. He asked for a Lego-gun birthday cake. I'm glad he liked it because I got frustrated and quit as I was trying to frost it.

This was taken at a museum of South Jordan called the Gale Museum. The print on the scale reads, "Babies weighed for free". Apparently grocery stores are where people would weigh their children in days past.

I love my kids!!

Jenna's Photo Shoot

I recently met up with a childhood friend. She is a photographer and was kind enough to take some pictures of Jenna. Below are some of my favorites. The dress Jenna is wearing is her blessing dress. It was crocheted by my very talented mother.

Comparisons

I've been wanting to compare the kids baby pictures side by side, but since I don't print out pictures anymore I figured this was a great way to do it.

Christmas and Jenna Updates

We had a fun Christmas. The boys are posing in their pajamas from Grandma Chris and Caleb is modeling is unrestricted access to chocolate.

Caleb and Mitchell were very happy with their presents this year. Caleb is a big playdough fan. That is what this smile is all about.
This is how Mitchell feels about Legos.

Santa visits my parents home every Christmas Eve. Caleb makes us laugh on a daily basis.

Cousin Love

Mitchell adores his cousin, Zach.

This is how Jenna spent most of her Christmas.

Updates on our home. This is getting ready for stucco.

We have drywall!

Jenna updates:

A few days after coming home.

First Bath

A few weeks old.

Mitchells 2nd or 3rd time holding Jenna a few weeks ago. He hasn't held her since. He claims he is scared of her. Silly boy. But he loves her. He tells us that too.

I love this picture!!

One month old.

She is always making this face. I would worry except Mitchell did the same things as a baby and he still turned out intelligent....thankfully.
