Hailey is growing up on us

I can't believe it. Hailey will be 4 in about a week. Time goes by so fast. She just started a dance class and preschool. She loves it. Dance is her favorite. It's mine too because we get to stay and watch them dance through the window in the studio. It is so cute! They all have the same outfits and it's just darling.


Preschool is great for her and great for Conrad and me. We get to have some one on one time. We don't get a lot because Hailey demands MUCH more attention than Conrad. She is definitely the oldest child.

Conrad's 2nd Birthday

Sorry I forgot to add this first. Conrad's birthday was April 3. We had a fun birthday party for him. He got cars (he loves cars) and clothes. It was fun because he actually knew there was something underneath the paper. It's always fun when they hit that point. Christmas should be so fun this year!!

Jack's Blessing and Spud Day Weekend

We were finally able to bless Jack on September 21. It was a special day and almost everybody on both sides of the family was able to share it with us. Bo did a great job ( I am grateful men have the Priesthood). We had a dinner afterward. Thank you to all that could share the day with us.

The blessing fell on the weekend of Spud Day. Everybody was able to go to the parade. It was rainy this year, but we had plenty of fun. The kids loved it. Conrad wasn't too sure about the sirens or
the rain. But, he LOVES sugar and everybody threw candy. That was his favorite part.  Hailey loved everything about the parade. We went and got them corn dogs afterward (another favorite). We also had to get a free spud.

The kids both did the potato race and had lots of fun doing that! Jack had fun being carried around in his snugli.



It was a very busy weekend. But, it was great.

Our Camping trip


We went camping with some friends at Warm River in August. If you haven’t gone camping with kids, it is quite the adventure. We had a great time. Bo took the kids out on a small lake in the rubber raft. They caught 10 fish. Conrad loved it. He loves to fishing He asks all the time to go. They played in the dirt a lot. They were covered in dirt head to toe. Jack did really well too. Conrad was bitten my a mosquito the last day and his eye swelled shut. He didn’t like it. You can still see where he was bitten. I can’t believe it has taken so long to heal.
