Long Time No Post


Well I have a lot of catching up to do and I guess I'll start with Memorial Day Weekend. This year we went back up to my parent's cabin in Star Valley, WY. It was so nice to get away and relax. My awesome mother-in-law watched Cassie and Easton for us, so with the younger 50% of our children with Donna and the more responsible 50% with us, I was able to sleep in and take naps on our vacation. Kurt, BJ and Danny had fun on the golf course and got in around 27 holes of golf on Saturday. They even let Sadie and Jessica practice putting. On Sunday we paced up and headed over to Malad for the 2nd half of our weekend. We visited with family and went to the surrounding cemeteries to pay respect to grandparents and other family members. The only negative part of our trip was finding out that Easton had an allergic reaction to formula on Sunday. I had pumped enough milk to last up until Sunday morning and after drinking the similac his body, except for his legs, turned bright red. I felt soooooo bad for Little E and I am still hoping that it wasn't the formula. Sometime this week we are going to give it to him again and see if it really was the formula that caused the reaction. I really am hoping it wasn't.



Next. . . . We had a yard sale last Saturday. We did alright = $165.00, and our kids did awesome, they made $25.00 selling cupcakes, cookies and apple juice in two hours. They would like to have a garage sell everyday.





Last. . . . We blessed Easton this past Sunday. It is always a special moment for every family to bless their baby and this one was no different. I do have to laugh a little because Easton cried throughout the whole blessing. The binkie was in place but slipped through Spencer's and Randy's arms and then fell to the floor. Kurt was great and didn't let the crying affect Easton's blessing. We had a wonderful brunch afterwards at our house and are very grateful to all who helped out with the food.



I love this picture!!!

I just love how he is looking up at me in this one with his arms kind of folded.


Of course we had to take a picture with his little buddy Jakoby. They're getting so big.

The proud parents. (Not the greatest picture)



Just for fun. . . . Sadie asked me to "fast forward backwards" her movie the other day. I kind of like it better than rewind.




Oh and the cutest. . . . We went grocery shopping today and while I was putting Cassie and Easton into the car, Sadie and Jessica were staring at something. I asked them what they were looking at and they pointed to a puddle of water and said, "Look Mom, a rainbow fell down." I looked at the water and saw that there was oil in it.

The exact same thing happened with Tyson's blessing. I should have taped the pacifier in that day!?!? Your kids are so darling!! Hope you guys are doing well.

We feel SOOOO bad about having to miss Easton's blessing! Tyler was absolutely EXHAUSTED that morning. We had no help at all as we were unloading all of our things into our new house on the 6th, which meant that Tyler had to do all of the heavy lifting all by himself. We were both just wiped out. Your friend is our Elder's Quorum pres., & he sure gave us a hard time about missing it, though. . . . :)
