Timber~7/5/15

So the kids and I went down to Logandale for the fourth of July.

Some of the Heath Baileys were there so we wanted to see them and Logandale always does a great Fourth.

Kirk had to work so he stayed in Monticello. One of the worst parts of being so far from family is when we actually do get time to go see them we either can't stay very long because Kirk has to get back for work or I have to take the kids alone because he can't miss work. I hate being there without him but we do what we have to. 

While we were gone this time Monticello had a pretty good rain storm. We have been having such a wet summer which is great for crops and gardens.

This one though caused a little damage.

Knocked down half of our awesome tree.

This tree was one of the best apricot trees in town because it bore so much fruit when it didn't freeze and offered so much shade.

We are sad to see this happen to it.

Two winters ago it actually cracked right down the middle of the trunk from the heavy snow but never fell. It went through a whole winter with the crack but then finally gave way in this storm. 

I am so glad Elsa wasn't underneath it when it happened.

We will miss our awesome tree.

5 Months~6/30/15

Five months already!

Our handsome little man!

This kid is so awesome. He really is happy all the time. I say that every time I write one of these but it really is true. So content.

He is so interested in his sisters and loves them very much. He could watch them play all day.

He seriously loves his Mommy.

He thinks his Daddy is pretty great too.

I love how he recognizes us and gets a big grin when one of us comes in the room.

Speaking of grins, this kid has one of the best. And he isn't shy with it. So smiley.

He rolls around great and is getting around the room via rolling.

He has really started liking toys so that's fun.

He loves to suck on his bottom lip.

He rarely spits up which is a HUGE blessing after the girls spit so badly.

He still sleeps with me and nurses every few hours at night but it's okay. We won't take him our of our room until we move into the new house anyway.

He talks all the time which is so fun.

He is the sweetest little man ever and we are so happy and blessed to have this little human in our family. I don't know how we got so lucky.

Love him!!

Our first tri~6/27/15

Heidi and I both did our first triathlon today.

It was so much fun! And hard! Especially since I haven't done any running or anything for a few months.

But Heidi rocked it!! She is such a champ. She really had a lot of fun.

 She even had her Daddy's old football number.

Such a fun day. So stinking proud of my baby Heidi Boo for working so hard. And so grateful for the support we both got through the race.

Road Trip~6/25/15

We saw this guy in Monticello.

California license plates, a number of gas cans, and bed rolls...road trip in the coolest car ever.

 We also got our new appliances today!!

We are getting so close!

Loading Hay~6/22/15

Kirk helped his dad load the hay after the baler came through. 

I had to drive the truck while they threw bales.

The kids hung out with me.

 Then we did a little sprinkler running.

Heber~6/20/15

We went up to Heber for Trent and Lauren's wedding. It was beautiful and we are so happy for them.

The kids loved the time with their cousins.

And so did Elsa with cousin Ike.

Nap time?~6/19/15

Alice was supposed to be taking a nap.

She had a different idea.
