Park City and other stuff

A few great things in the picture here.  Our new yard is so full of lily's like this one and they've been blooming for the past couple weeks.  They're so beautiful.  Also, I tried an experiment one Sunday to see if Katelyn would let me curl her hair.  She likes it straight and there's no changing her mind.  Well, I curled my hair and didn't say a word to her about hers.  It's amazing.  See the cute little curls?  :)  Also, I tried to be handy last year and made this dress for her.  She only wears it when she feels like it, which isn't very often, but nonetheless, here it is.  What a good day!

Cute bed head.

A little Ethan smirk.

They got in their pj's and we realized it was raining.  We had to go out and play in the rain under the double rainbow.

At Park City, we took a nice little hike through The Canyons.  It's always crazy to see a ski resort in the summer.

Photo op on the ski lift chair.  Have you ever seen a screen like this?  I haven't.

Eating ice cream and enjoying the view at our condo for our family vacation.

A little down time watching TV.  I think little Abby is even watching it.  Uh oh.

Katelyn's first ride down the Alpine Slide with Dave.

Katelyn's second ride down the Alpine Slide with me.

Breakfast in pj's on the patio.

Ohhhh.  My babies.

She was all lacey for church today.

Here's a fun comparison shot.  The first one is Katelyn, the second is Abby.  They are both 3 1/2 months old.

(Katelyn has brown hair and brown eyes.)

I love her smiles!  She's such a happy baby!  3 months old.
(It looks like Abby will have strawberry blond hair and blue eyes.)

Ethan, 2 years.  Abby, 3 months.  Katelyn, almost 4.

A few things

I think this is one of our first family pictures.

We live a block away from a splash pad.  I absolutely love it because we go there almost every morning. The kids have a wonderful time and it's a fun place to invite friends.

Dave had a work convention so I took the kids to our first parade in our new town.  They had so much fun and got a bunch of candy.

This was Ethan's attempt to not listen to the noisy police sirens.  Cover your eyes or cover your ears... it's all the same. 

My Abby. 

My girls. 

Ethan is loving his s'more at the cabin. 

Katelyn is washing down hers.

Abby's first trip to the family cabin.  She did really well.  We all sleep in the loft together.  It's nice and crowded so I was worried she would wake everyone up in the middle of the night, but she only woke up once. 

 This is the funniest!  Dave's brother Jared put Ethan in his backpack!  Ethan absolutely loved it and loved to have his "hat" on.

 My little Abby was blessed last month.  I can't believe how big she's getting already, though I think she's smaller than my first two.

Any comparison?

Here are my kiddo's at about two months.  What do you think?  Does anyone look the same?

Pics #3

Cookie Monster socks. Ethan found my fuzzy blue socks and proclaimed them to be his Cookie Monster socks. Clever little two year old.

Katelyn's first headband. Why did she want one? Her friend in her Sunbeams class has one, of course. This is her favorite one with sparkles.

Speaking of sparkles, here's a cute story.

Me: (driving) Hey kids. Look at that pretty dog. (It was a long haired black and white dog.)

Katelyn: It's not pretty. It doesn't have sparkles.

Katelyn: It looks like a black and white cow.

Pics #2

Hanging out with daddy.

Easter. That's his excited I-have-a-ton-of-candy stop-taking-pictures look.

Abby: Binky. Binky. Binky.

Josh (Shannon's): Don't touch me.

Ben (Scott's): Hey bud. Let's hug.

London bridges falling down...

Hailey and Katelyn. BFF.

Kids and weeds grow like weeds

Our little Abby at 7 1/2 weeks. Too bad she wouldn't smile for me. She has a beautiful little smile.

Sisters. I love Abby's little frowny face.

My cuties.

Whoever can get their pj's on first can have a treat!

This is our beautiful new home. After Dave went to Asia for two weeks and I stayed with my parents after the baby was born, we came home to find a lovely yellow yard. It was FILLED with dandelions and lots of overgrown weeds. This was our first attempt to get rid of them. Just let the lawn mower do the work. (Yes, they came back in all their glory.)

Announcing

Our little Abigail is here! She is three weeks old now and such a sweetheart. She is doing really well and we are so happy that she is so healthy and such a good little girl. I had some complications that scared us at her delivery, but luckily priesthood blessings are real and everything is okay. I'm moving slow still from the emergency c-section and additional surgery, but happy to be enjoying my three kids and my sweet husband.
