Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was Mitch and my 4 year anniversary.  I'd say that I can't believe that we've already been married for 4 years, but I can.  It actually feels as though it's been longer than that.  Since, at this point, going on any kind of date is out of the question, we decided to make celebrating a family affair and go on a day-trip to Bear Lake.  Once we got there, it took us a long time, but we finally found a sandy spot for the kids to play... it was in Idaho.  Go figure... a big huge lake that seemed to be mostly on the Utah side, and the only sand is in Idaho.  It was actually really fun, and although the whole family was sick with colds, it was nice to get out of the house.

Jaxton and Kayla were a bit hesitant of the water at first...

But then they saw Daddy go in...

And off they went... still a bit hesitant

This was Jenna's first trip to the lake.  She is exactly 7 weeks old in this picture.

Jaxton and Kayla found this large sand hole and had a great time playing in it.

Then, back into the water they went.

This was the perfect spot for kids, because they could go so far out and the water was still shallow.

Jaxton was so intrigued with anything he could see at the bottom of the lake.

To Bathe or Not to Bathe

Apparently the bathtub is not just for bathing anymore.  Kayla's new thing is to get into the bathtub when she wakes up, in her jammies and with no water in it, just so she can play with the bathtoys.  I had to take a picture.

Sleeping Faces

I love to watch the ever-changing faces that babies make when they sleep.  Jenna goes from one face to the next in an instant and it makes me laugh.

6 weeks

Well it's been a long time since I've written but I'm going to attempt to catch up on the last month or so.  We are here in Logan... actually Smithfield, on the outskirts of Logan... and we are loving it.  We aren't quite settled in yet but we are getting there.  I absolutely love the people in our neighborhood.  I couldn't ask to be around friendlier people!  Jenna is getting so big.  She is 6 weeks old already and I can't believe it.  She is a happy baby for the most-part.  She smiles more and more and it just melts our hearts.  She is starting to coo, which I love to listen to.  The kids are absolutely loving her and I have to constantly remind Kayla to be gentle.  Mom came out for a visit and it went by way too fast. Two days just isn't enough.  It was so nice to have her here...  I miss her like crazy.  I don't really know what else.  I'm constantly busy.  Two little ones and an infant is a lot of work, but I love it.

Jenna's feet next to Kayla's... I love it.

This is a typical moment at my house... everyone fighting for Daddy's attention.

This picture is a classic for me.

My Mom and Jenna... Jenna was in the middle of trying to eat Mom's face.

Jenna is so comfy in her Grandma's arms

These little purple booties are a gift from my Aunt Kathy.  Kathy made these and they will be perfect for the colder weather.  I love them.

This little hat came in a gift basket that my Mom got at an auction.  It doesn't really fit Jenna very well, but I had to take a picture of her in it, because it's such a cute little hat.
