Family & Friends

You know what it takes to get us to go to Utah? A wedding! Dan's youngest brother got married on August 21st... the youngest & last to go! We haven't seen Dan's parents & his sister Shelley's family since Christmas, so it was a double blessing to be there. (Some of you might remember Dan's parents are serving a mission in Argentina, so we won't see them again for about a year.) And I have to say I simply adore Dan's aunts! Whitney's bridal shower & talking to his extended family at the reception was my favorite part of the trip. No offense to the guys. (; Speaking of the reception, Keri took my favorite pictures of the entire trip there:


Ha ha ha. Kaelah wasn't ready to ham it up for the camera to get a cute shot of the cousins born within 2 months of each other. My mom asked her if she was the thorn between 2 roses. lol.
Below Ali joined them -- the 4 of them were born within almost a year of each other.
Since I didn't have a picture of the 4 of us I was in love with, Keri was nice enough to capture the above 2 for us. Can't beat the mountains in the background!
I just adore these 2 pictures of our little man dressed in a tux with his great-grandma! He was certainly the best dressed out of the 4 of us. Thanks for the great garage sale find, Shannon!
This was the first time Dan's side of the family got to meet precious baby Danny. We was a smash hit. Here's just a couple pictures of adoring cousins.
Some of my awesome freshman roommates came to visit us while we were out & totally spoiled us. It was magnificent to see them... it's been way too long! Thank you, ladies!
We love Utah, but it's great to be home. Until next time....

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
