Photo Shoot

For some reason I was in a photo shoot mood today. Too bad I'm not the best photographer, at least I try.


This is Brenden's 5 yr-old picture. Isn't he so darn cute??? Thanks to Carlee, thanks Carlee, I remembered that my camera has a color mode on it. So we were experimenting with different colors. This is blue.


Green


Purple


And these are Kate's new pics. She wasn't cooperating very well, but these turned out okay.




This is kind of a smile =)

Boys Only Camping Trip




Justin took the boys camping last weekend with some guys from work and their kids. They had a great time! It looks like the area was beautiful! They caught some tiny fish but let them go. TJ was in heaven, of course. They made marshmallow guns and had wars. They did lots of boy stuff that I really didn't want to know about. The girls stayed home and did lots of girly stuff. We had fun too!!! (Maybe not as much fun, but we tried our best!)

Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini!

We even had some green peppers today! Wow! It's great to see your hard work pay off, and save money! And boy do they taste better than store bought! Yummm!

Dinner in the Canyon




We (when I say "we" I mean "I") are sick of being stuck inside the house and not being able to get out. Don't get me wrong, my baby is definitely worth it, but it's summer and we are used to going everywhere. Anyway, we decided Kate would be fine up the canyon because there wouldn't be many people and it wasn't too hot. So we took our dinner up the canyon and enjoyed being outside! We had a great time throwing rocks in the river and finding sticks and listening to the river. It was great!!! I especially liked Brenden holding up the tree with his stick, it was so funny!

Catch Up....

Happy One Month Birthday Kate!!!!!

It's hard to believe that she is now 5 weeks old. These pics were taken on her one month birthday. Crazy!!!

We had Brenden's party at a local restaraunt because I didn't want all those kids in the house with Kate. I'm still being a germ-a-phobe. The kids all had fun. Thanks to Tami for watching Kate so I could be there too! And thanks for April for helping out!

Aren't our kids so cute??? This pic is missing Kate, but of course, she wasn't at the party. Sometime we'll get a pic of all 4 of them!

Kate's Home!!!




Yes!!! It's true! She is finally home! We brought her home last Thursday, July 17th.



Yay! They took out the feeding tube! Good job Kate!




Doesn't she look so cute without the tube???




We are all excited to have her home. And the kids think it's great that they can feed her bottles.



Brenden holding Kate


Big Sis loves her little sister. She is a very good helper and it is all we can do to protect Kate from the loves and kisses.

We did a photo shoot two days ago, on the 22nd. She looked so cute. And we still don't know where all her hair came from!

Welcome home Baby Kate!!!!! We love you and are so glad to have you home!!!

THANK YOU so much to everyone for all your help, love, support, prayers, and everything else you have done to help us!! Thanks to our families, friends, ward members, and especially to the medical staff who worked so hard to help us bring her home. Thanks for taking care of our baby, and helping us bring her home! We are in debt to a lot of people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! Thanks to all of you we have a beautiful healthy baby and a happy taken care of family. We are so blessed!!!!!!!!
