Birthdays, Blessings, School...

The last few days have been pretty eventful. My sister Keri (and Drake and Selina), came down from Utah on Saturday...YEAH! My dad's birthday (don't worry dad, I won't tell anyone your age :) was on Friday so we had a party for him on Saturday. A swimming and BBQ party. Sadly, Maylee and Livia had fevers so they stayed home with Kevin. We usually have chicken but this time we had hamburgers and hot dogs. (Keri was awesome and bought some veggie burgers too!) It was a great time spending time with family that I don't get to see very often. (Matt and Amanda came down too.)

On Sunday was Staten's big day. At only 2 weeks old I was unsure about blessing him, but knowing Keri was going to be here, we decided it would be fine. And it was...no big party or dinner after, just a nice blessing and some family pictures. It was a great day!

Sam was not very happy and did not want to be in the picture. So, Matt tried to help out, but it looks like he is in time-out or something, facing the corner :)


Today was Maylee and Teagan's first day of school!!! They were very excited (one, more than the other). We picked out their outfits and made their lunches last night so we would be all ready for the big day. After I picked them up from school (it was 500 degrees outside, I think Staten got a sunburn from being out there for 5 minutes) I asked them what their favorite thing was. Maylee said "eating lunch" and Teagan said "recess." So, my kids aren't thrilled about the academic part of school, but whatever...



Livia jumped in the picture before I could say anything...and I was in a hurry so I figured it was okay.


I am very excited for when it cools down so we can walk to school again!
