Happy Kids!!

The pictures say it all

We got a swingset and our kids are so Happy.

It's been well loved by other children and now it's our turn.

AWESOME AWARD

Shem went to his counselor conference for the whole state.

While he was there he was given an award.

It was a "rookie of the year" award.
He's worked so hard this past year and he deserved it.
Congrats babe we've always known how awesome you are,
now so many others know it too!!!

Out with the old - in with the new

We bought a new van last week.

Goodbye old van we loved you. Hello new van.

CUTE KIDS!!

NEW PICTURE OF THE KIDS

Cathing Up

We've been busy - so now it's time to catch up.

Last week our family took a trip.

We were gone for five days and stayed a different place each night.

The trip started in Salt Lake with Shem's counseling conference.

We saw family, went swimming, played at the park,

bought a van and shopped for school clothes.

Then we spent two days with cousins, an aunt and uncle.

We met up with Kassy for our yearly meeting.

I went to training for Usborne books.

We went to Zoey's first birthday swimming party.

And we ended our trip at Dallin's birthday party.

Talk about a busy week. On the trip we were informed

that Shem's grandma had died. So Monday it was back

to Kaysville for the viewing. She was 90 years old and

ready to be reunited with her husband.

The kids at the pool.

Maddie spent her time at the pool practicing swimming.

The girls loved the park. Our little guy was such a trooper.

He spent most of his time in his carseat.

SO SMILEY

My favorite part of having a little baby has come.

The smiles and coos are here.

They are sooooo cute and tender.

Jarem is two months old and he's putting on the pounds.

He sleeps all night long and he's trying to laugh.

Oh How They Love Him

All of the girls LOVE Jarem.

They always want to hold him and help with him.

These are just some cute pictuers I took the other day.

Memorial Day weekend

Shem and Maddie got done with school on Wed May 25th.

That night we were able to go to Connor's grave.

I can't believe it's already been two years since his birth.

Jess and Nate gave the kids balloons to send up to Connor.

It was a special experience for all of us.

The next morning we went to Ephraim.

It was so great seeing friends and family.

We also got to visit Jared's grave in Manti.

It's always fun to hear Shem tell stories about Jared.

Our trip home was more than an adventure, but we made it.

Our kids are enjoying the beautiful weather.

We're looking forward to more fun trips hopefully with pictures.

CRAZY HAIR!

On the last day of school Maddie had CRAZY HAIR DAY.

She loved how her hair turned out, but was sad she didn't win.

Overall it was a good day for her.

Now onto some summer fun.
