Visits from Grandpa Rudy and Grandma Ginger

 We are always excited when Grandpa and Grandma stop by for a visit.  We're only an hour or so away from their house, and they often stop to see us when they come to the city for doctor visits or errands. They almost always bring the kids little bags of gummy bears.  Chandra always tries to steal Grandpa's hat...just like me and the rest of the grandkids did when we were little. She gives him one hug, then teases him the rest of the time they are here by refusing to hug him and giving Grandma lots of hugs and kisses. We love you Grandpa and Grandma!

Shay and Glade's sealing

This was such a special day!  Shaylee and Glade were sealed in the Bountiful temple.  We were so glad to be there and be a part of it.

3 Month old Cutie

Little Scientists

I found these cute little scientists when I woke up from a short nap.  They made quite a mess, figured out several different concoctions which blew up balloons on top of their test tubes, and used all of my vinegar. They love any science experiment that causes an explosion-- Alka-seltzer rockets, baking soda/vinegar volcanos, mentos in coke, etc. They don't think cleaning the mess up is quite as fun though.

We have 3 Kids!!

Sometimes it's still a little hard to believe that we have three kids, and are a family of five. They sure are cuties.
