Some sad news

At Lindsay's last doctor's appointment the doctor had a hard time finding the baby's heart beat. Since we were 13 weeks along and since this happened with her second miscarriage the doctor ordered an ultra sound. We found out there that the baby had passed a week earlier. It was so sad. The kids were with us. They were so excited to see the baby's little hands and feet. They were so upset when we told them that the baby had passed away. The poor ultra sound tech. It was hard for everyone. The kids are happy that Grandpa McMullin is in heaven and can take care of our little one until we get the chance. What a blessing the gospel is. To know without a doubt that we can be together forever. And what a blessing our kids are. We are so lucky to have them! Lindsay is doing well and is going in to the hospital on Monday, so she will be out for awhile. Our friends are AMAZING and have dinners lined up for us and are helping to take the kids. Grandma is here to help and we just feel so blessed!

Camping fun

So far in June the boys went to Fathers and Sons and our family went camping (not the kind that Matt would really like to do, a 50 mile hike or something like that) but we drove up to the mink creek area and did some drive in camping. It turns out that it was good we drove in because at around 9:00 that night Owen barfed all over. So we packed up and spent the next week with sick kids. It wasn't the best trip ever but we really did have fun and we are just waiting to be brave enough to try it again :o)

Emma loved camping, and being an indoor girl we were very proud of how well she did.

Here is Owen a few hour before he got sick. He looks so happy, you would never think that he was sick. I guess he had too many smores!

The kids loved making smores (well they liked to catch things on fire and watch Dad play in the fire).
The dog did well on our trip. Nicholas was a bit cold and had to be in a blanket by the fire, but other than that he seemed to enjoy being outside.

Owen's Two

Owen's Two!!! It was a big day at our house. Owen had a lot of fun... and a lot of sugar :o) When we ask him how old he is now he says "Cake". We're working on it.

Once Owen opened this dump truck from my mom, he spent the rest of the day in it.

The kids were hoping that they would be able to help Owen out but he knew what to do, and after three tries he got it.

He is just growing up too fast, just like they all have.

And here is some other stuff we've been doing....











The fire station had an open house so the kids got to stop by and have some fun. I think that Matt had a lot of fun too ;o)

Here is Noah climbing at Ross Park. He is getting better every time we go.

Libbie had a bunch of fun, she thinks that it is more fun to hang then to climb ;o)

IT'S WARM!

OK, so it did snow on the first of May, but this weekend was nice! We got to play outside and just have fun together. Matt has his final on the 6th and then it's time to party. Here is a picture of the kids at Ross Park. Noah really wants to over come his fear of rock climbing so I think we will be heading back this week to climb.

The kids walking on the trails. Owen kept falling over so Matt was holding him :o)

Owen showing off his sweet rock climbing skills!

Noah was so happy when he made it to the top! I think that is why he wants to climb now. Matt is really happy about it :o)

So that is all that is going on for us right now. We are looking forward to the summer and the fun we are going to have. I guess that morning sickness has caught up with me so that is no fun. Matt is the greatest and takes such good care of me. It will be nice when he is home all the time!

One crazy weekend :D

We had one crazy weekend! There was laughing, crying, some throwing up, and a lot of fun. We had 19 people in our 1200 square foot apartment. We are happy to report there were no fatalities.

We're having a baby!

We just found out that we are expecting a new member of our family in December! We are so excited, but I think that the kids are even more so than we are. They have names picked out and are hoping for twins, one boy and one girl. One is fine with me!! This is a big surprise for us but a welcome one. It is going to make going to girls camp this summer even more exciting!

Libbie and her hair

Well, after three years of Libbie screaming every time I do her hair we gave up and chopped it off. It is really short but she loves it and I love that she doesn't cry all morning about getting her hair done!

Dino Attack

While playing at a park in Chubbuck Noah was attacked by a dinosaur. Emma, in an attempt to save him jumped on it's back and Noah's arm was saved.

I'm Hungry :o)

Kindergarten Shots

It was a sad day today. Emma had to go and get her kindergarten

shots. Now I know why I put it off for so long :o) She did really good but her legs are really hurting her.

Hey there

What does this look like?
