The Midavaine's Visit

This last week we had Sarah's family visiting us. We had a lot of fun together. The cousins had fun playing together, Sarah and Scott had fun thinking of things for us to do, and I had fun trying to feed the crowd. Two extra adults and three extra kids that eat like adults was a little different to feed then what I am use to; two adults and a little bird. The kids had fun in all our activities and would crash at night in one big sleepover; rotating to take turns sleeping next to Katelyn. While they slept, Scott, Sarah, Nate, and I would try to perfect our skill at Guitar Hero. Thanks so much for visiting us. I wish we lived closer. Maybe soon.

Here we are at the Dinosaur Museum. All of us had a great time at the sand and water table. There is so much to look at and do at this museum.

This is at Kangaroo Zoo. The kids had a great time going down slides and bouncing around. I think I saw Jared once the whole time we were there. They were exhausted by the time we left; half of it doing with how hard they played and the other part was how late at night it was.

We also took at trip to Temple Square. Sarah and Scott had not seen the Conference Center since it was built, so we got to take a tour of it. It is such a spectacular building. We took the kids and had lunch while Sarah, Scott, and Henri went to the Joseph Smith movie. At the Museum of Church History and Art, there is a kids area called 'I Am a Child of God'. The kids had a good time playing there. I would just like to mention that the temple picture (above) was actually taken by Zarah and Ashton on the day Melissa and Trevor were married. I think it is an amazing picture and wanted to include it.

Here are the cousins: Anya, Jared, Katelyn, and Carra.

... and the baby cousins: Henric and Sadie.

Snow Already?

Katelyn was so excited when we woke up Sunday morning and there was snow on the ground. I had some other words to say about it. After breakfast she got all her stuff on and was ready to go play on the balcony.
Here is the snowman Daddy helped her make. I was pretty excited to see that her coat and gloves still kind of fit. Her snow pants are too short, but the boots made up for that.
The snow was short lived. This is her sad snowman this morning. I'm sure it will be replaced in not too long. It is one of Katelyn's favorite things to do.

Four Months! (in two days)

We went for Sadie's four month well child visit today. She is still topping the charts and I love it. Weight: 18lbs 13oz, greater than 97%ile; Length: 27 inches, greater than 97%ile; Head Circ: 42.8cm, 90%ile. She is doing great and very healthy. We love our Sadie Bug.

Oh, how they grow!

Sadie is such a sweet baby. Most days she just goes with the flow of things. She's so funny to watch. On Sunday we were eating dinner in Park City at Nate's dad's house and while we ate Sadie was sitting in her car seat. She was kicking her legs so much that she turned her car seat so she was facing a different direction. She is starting to notice toys and her hands. Her hands and chin are always slobbery and to make her even more wet she learned to spit. I love her chubby little legs and arms. She’s usually happy but yes she also looks like this. I still need to get her quivering chin in a video and a picture of her pouty lip.

On Sunday I put Katelyn's hair in rollers before church. It turned out really cute. It even stayed cute and curly through lunch, nursery, sleeping in the car, and playing with Rockie.
