JACOB'S BABY BLESSING!

Today, Andy blessed Jake at church. We felt so blessed to have so many family members to join and support us in these special moments in our life, Craig and Kristi, Jeff and Mary, Stan and Kim, Rachel, Mitch and Leslie, Matt and Chalene, and all of their cute kids! It turned out to be such a wonderful day! It also happened to be the annual primary program at church so that was fun to see, the kids did a great job. We all went to the park afterwards and had a yummy lunch and the kids, once again, got to play with their cousins. (I don't think there is anything my kids love more than to be with their cousins!) What a memorable day for us!

HANGING WITH JACOB!

Anyway...

Our little Jake has quickly turned into our big Jake! His 9 week check up he weighed 17 pounds! No wonder my back hurts!! He has been nothing but a pleasant baby though! He is very entertained by all the commotion around our house and seems happy to be along for the ride. We can't get enough of him!

HARVEST BREAK...UTAH!

This year for Harvest break, I decided to take the kids down to Utah to spend time with my sisters, Tori and Kristi. My kids had a lot of fun hanging out with their cousins for the week. We ended up going to a dollhouse exhibit down in Provo, followed by seeing the "Bean" museum on the BYU campus, it is basically a slew of taxadermied animals. It was quite interesting and the kids were pretty fascinated. We went to Thanksgiving point and went on pony rides. We later went up to Salt Lake to see Stan and Kim and their girls along with Rachel and her girls. Andy also came down with Jeff and Mary. We were sure glad to see him again! We also got to attend the baby blessing of Matt and Chalene's baby, Charlie. All in all, it was a wonderful, refreshing week!

GARDEN SALSA!

We didn't know if we were going to get very many tomatoes this year because we planted a little late but suddenly we had more than enough. The only plans we have with planting tomatoes is to make our yummy salsa. We have made 6 batches of our homemade salsa. It is delicious!
