Baby Fever

Well, we are all really enjoying our little Mia. She is a very quiet baby, only crying when she spit up alot, and when she had to have a blood draw to check her jandice. She is very alert when she is awake. She just takes it all in. Mom thinks she is just perfect. Caleb loves to hold her and feed her. He is a big help to mom. Trever loves her too. He loves to kiss her soft cheek, and help mom by getting a diaper or wipes, or blankets.
Joseph goes around the house with his hands together saying "hold her" "Hold her" and he is constantly thinking she is awake. We are all smitten by the princess.

New Bundle of Joy

This is a picture of Joseph when we brought him home from the hospital. I am not able to post a picture of our new bundle, but it looks similar...... just add more dark hair, and a little bit smaller. Our Meia is 6Lbs 8oz. and 19 inches. She is very quiet and does not fuss much at all. Again soooooo different from Joseph. Plus we put her in as much pink as poor Caleb can stand. He's not a big pink fan, but he loves to hold and help feed Meia. Can't wait till you all can see how perfectly beautiful she is.

A Good Mom....

It was 97 degrees, and we were all so hot. But what a fun time we had at the Hoagle Zoo. We went with Aunt Shai, Gabe and Regane. We packed sandwhiches and some snacks. It was a very good thing that the food booths refilled our water bottles for free. We were not only drinking them, but pooring them on our selves to try and cool off a little.

The first thing we did was watch the elephant show. I have never seen inside an elephants mouth.... what a tongue.

The kids all liked the Giraffs. Trever wanted to ride one. Who could have guessed? Caleb and Regane were the only ones that would get in the picture with the Giraffs.
We all enjoyed the rest to our feet with a train ride. Then we decided the best way to end a trip to the zoo was with ice cream. Diary Queen still makes the best dipped cones and blizzards. I figure that now I have photographic proof that I love my children. It is a good mom that takes her children to the zoo. We had so much fun. Thanks aunt Shai for taking us.

Camping Two

We all really enjoyed our trip to Willard Bay with the Bartschi family. Caleb was definately in heaven, as he loves camping and never seems to get enough time with Bryce. They loved playing in the water together, and they were able to duel with light sabers to their hearts content.
Bryce was very quick at learning how to row the boat. Caleb was very quick to let him as he was riding look out. Now exactly who was the smarter?????


Joseph was a drink thief. He would very quietly go around to all the drinks that were left unattended and take a swig.....or two or three. Jan was our camera bug. She always takes such good pictures. We are glad to have her snapping away .....most of the time. I will have a few more pics for you to see when I learn how to get them off of Jans camera. : )
Thanks Bartschi's and lets do it again next year.

Camping

We have actually made it to two camping trips this year. The kids are thrilled to go as often as we take them. Even the sleep deprived parents have decided to try and go more often.

The Palmer trip was really fun this year. We really like Pine View. The water was perfect. Caleb had a blast as usual. We made sure that Trever and Caleb had life jackets. It gave them such feedom and they are really getting to be good swimmers. Our dear Joseph was just as happy as a "clam". He dug in the sand and ate what ever treats anyone got out. Just don't ask him to go in the water......... do do do do. (jaws)

A Start

I am a real novice to this, but it is so fun to see what is happening with everyone on their blogs that I wanted to do one too.

We are having a pretty good summer. Trever and Joseph love being outside and love to help Dad. He is such a good dad, he lets them. Caleb is having fun with the neighbor kids and Bryce every chance he gets. He and Trever have discovered another hero...... Zoro. They love to run around the house playing Zoro, with a little tag along Joseph right behind them.
