 Our family after Micah's blessing.

Here's my new outfit. 

Thanks Mom!

 Micah...

We had some sweet friends, Andrea and her son Zac Jewkes come for the blessing...

Silly Putty

This is what happens when your brother leaves silly putty in your bed...

Afternoon on the temple grounds

We took a lazy Sunday afternoon drive and ended up at the temple. Beautiful!

Micah, 3 weeks

(Excuse the grumpy baby face- it's been a rough day... He met the Pediatric Dentist for a double frenectomy... surgical lasers are no fun, but neither was being tongue-tied!) Poor baby...

Jim and Cheri come to visit

An "awesome" toy...

LEVI: Mom, that is the most AWESOMEST toy EVER. Will you buy it for me?
ME: It is awesome- but no, I don't think so...
LEVI: PLEASE...
ME: No, I don't think so...
LEVI: But I've got to have it- it's SO COOL.
ME: NO, Levi, I don't think so...
LEVI: But I'll use it to pick up all my toys and clean the house...
ME: (pause to think...) SOLD.
(and in case you were wondering, his toys and my floors are in fact picked up...

Backyard Fun

These days I am just not up to going out much farther than my own back yard. I think they still had fun. (Seth was napping in case you're wondering why he isn't in here...)

Seth thinks he still fits...

Seth is trying out the baby's new car seat. He thinks he still fits...

How we know our Baby is a Boy... by Levi

LEVI: How do we know the baby in your tummy is a boy, Mom?
ME: Well, when they took a picture of him they saw boy parts and not girl parts.
LEVI: So he had short hair like a boy instead of long, down to here (gestures down his shoulders) hair like a girl?
ME: (pauses) Yep, Levi. That's how they knew...

(I love this kid!)

Baby #6 has Chubby Cheeks!

I kind of hesitate to post this picture, because I know ultrasound pictures can be very hard to decipher unless you have someone there to "walk you through it", but considering that this is a 3D image, I figured I'd give it a shot. 

For those of you who need a little help- I'll do my best to help. This is baby's face. His forehead is at the top of the picture, his chin is at the bottom. He has a little fist balled up over his eyebrow/forehead to the right, and there is also a bit of the umbilical cord in the lower right, which makes the image there a little fuzzy there. In the middle you can see his eyes, nose, lips,chubby cheeks.and chin.

I am 36+ weeks and they are estimating the "little" guy to be about 7 lbs 4 oz. at this point. (They could be off 1/2 a lb either way.)

Can't wait to meet the little guy soon!

Levi's Last Day of Preschool

Today was Levi's last day of Preschool. He said that he will really miss his favorite construction worker outfit and tool box. 

Goodbye Preschool....on to KINDERGARTEN this fall!

Summertime yet?

This is the last week of school and I think the kids are looking forward to having a break and sleeping in. Levi wasn't sure he wanted to wake up today...
