Cousin Mania

Charlie playing in the sand on the white rocks hike in Snow canyon, we went here twice during spring break in St. George with different fun friends and cousins.

Cousin Claire and Olivia making it big in tickets at pirate island pizza, with about a gazillion tickents they bought lots of cheap junk.

Heroscape anyone? Over spring break Whitney and I had so much fun taking care of 9 children and some extra cousins here and there. Often we felt like we were literally feeding an army, especially after a hike or a swim. But the kids were great, they spent a ton of time playing heroscape and play station, when they weren't shooting hoops and playing kick the can. Summer we are ready for you.

Kissing Cousins

My youngest sister Emily came to visit from Calgary with her daughter Blakely who is 5 weeks older than Amelia. We had so much fun together and we miss them like crazy! We were able to bless them together, a memory we will treasure. Afterwards we celebrated with a wild party with all three families at our house.

Amelia's Blessing Day

We blessed Amelia Grace on the 21st of March. It was a beautiful day and Dave gave her an amazing blessing. She wore the dress that Dave and all his 5 brothers wore on their blessing day. She was a perfect angel and even had a little smile on her face as the blessing finished.

From braces to babies, I am a mom of all stages.

Amelia truly is a gift. I have no doubt she was supposed to come to our family and I am forever grateful we listened and obeyed the spirit. She adds such a joy to our home. The other day we went to the pediatrician for Amelia's 2 week checkup (weighing in at 7 lbs 7 oz), Olivia's kindergarten assessment (> 95% in heighth) and Sam's junior high shots. As is evident from the pictures, he also got braces this week! Fun times!
