Gma & Gpa x 2

We had both sets of grandparents up for a visit and it was a blast :)  Seraph wasn't sure about Gpa C at first, but after a game of peek-a-boo where he jumped his whole body in and out of the room, she decided he was too much fun miss. Angel wasn't happy sitting on any lap--had to have the lap Seraph was already on!
So much fun!

Gma & Gpa

My parents will spend the next 18 months as missionaries for the LDS church.  My family got together at church to support them and wish them well on their mission.  They'll be serving locally, so I'll still get to see them alot - yay :)

After church we went to my parents house for dinner and some good, quality time together.  I haven't seen my brothers for too long.  It was nice :)

Delightful Finch & Strong Bear

Grandma & Grandpa took the little ones outside to ride tricycles.  They did well until they decided to wander into the dirt pile next door. We're not big on shoes.  Soon their poor feet were full of slivers!

Nothing that a pair of tweezers, a tub of warm water, and a pack of popcycles can't fix :)

Ya, we're all pretty excited for this summer weather !

Grandpa and Angel

My kids really missed playing with Gma & Gpa while they were in Hawaii.  Angel loves her Gpa....and you can see why.  Aren't they cute together? :)

Some Pictures for you (cuz really I'm already asleep)...

That's my brother in the last picture holding Angel.  Grandma got her that shirt:  "If Mommy says no, ask GRANDMA"

Haqon's parents stayed with us this weekend.  It was really fun :)  We spent lots of time at the park and just playing.  Grandma really got into the wii fit stuff.  Grandpa was Delightful Finch's favorite "toy" the whole time he was here.  He played with baby Seraph and got her to start reaching out farther than ever before for her toy :)

It was nice to have a few days of spring before this silly snow. (silly snow that my kids are quite happy about.

:)

Skunky

My parents are back from Hawaii!!  I don't think they missed the snow one bit. With cool cell phones, I could still talk to my mommy every day...but it was still like walking the tightrope without the safety net while she was gone.  Glad she's home :)

Rabbit had a rough day.  I don't remember life being so tough when I was in third grade.  I remember writing a poem about leprechauns...and learning cursive.

Bear played too hard yesterday.  He fell and got a goose egg.  He's alright.  It just scared his mommy for a bit.

Seraph's doing great.  She impressed her nurse with smiles, good color, lower respiration rate, lower oxygen need, proper weight gain, and just general playfulness.  She's going to see about getting a physical therapist to come in and work with her.  We want to look at neck and leg strengthening, I think. Gosh...I dunno how I'll keep her cords out of trouble when she starts crawling.

I think a skunk walked by our house just now....ewww!  gotta run and close the windows ;)

Good Morning!

The first words out of Strong Bear's mouth this morning:  "Is grandma and grandpa home?"  He only had to go half way down the stairs before he knew:  "awwwww...grandma and grandpa not home yet"
