End of May 2018

 Isaac just loves Grandma Sharla's dog, Lola.  He wishes he had one just like her.

 Luke took his first ever nap as a teenager.  I guess he is going through a growth spurt.  We're still looking for his sheets in boxes.

 Isaac got a new swimming suit and is currently wearing it daily.

 It's so fun finding where to put things in the new house.  This is the perfect spot for my Grandma's mirror.

 Still wearing his new suit.

Hailey's 8th birthday

It was so exciting to wake up in our new house for Hailey's birthday!  

She is the sweetest girl, such a ray of sunshine in our home. 

 She is funny, hyper, kind, creative, sassy, energetic, and just good hearted. She gets a little shy sometimes, and always reminds us to say our prayers.  She can't wait to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

 We had crepes for her birthday breakfast

 got a family picture on our new porch after church.

 Isaac is still falling asleep in random places

 We found our birthday banner!

 We had a birthday party next door at Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins house.  She wanted a cake just like her doll, MaryEllen.

 Aunt Jessica did a perfect job on her cake!

 Grandma and Grandpa Dawson also came over and she had a great party.  She is one loved girl!

 MaryEllen got a new outfit, and Hailey was so happy!

Move in day!

It has been one year, one month, and one day.  The long awaited day has finally arrived, and we're beyond grateful to have such nice parents to let us live with them... and for Eli, for keeping our stuff for so long!

We started getting boxes and bringing them back to the new house on Thursday.  Friday, we got the kids mattresses so we could stay the night, and Saturday was the big move in day.

 Isaac was so happy to see all the toys that had been packed up for an entire year.  He just spent all of Friday in his room playing.

 This piano was a beast!  Luckily we had lots of extra help to move it in.

So grateful that we have so much amazing family that helped us!

 Isaac and I tried out the new barstools... which we didn't approve of.  Too matchy with the floor.

Mother's day and extras

I was out with friends one night, so Ben took the kids out to dinner and then over to our almost finished house to have a movie night!

I LOVE mother's day.  The kids are so fun and extra sweet.

Isaac took a Sunday nap at Grandma Sharla's

We took Hailey's baptism pictures at our almost finished house

Isaac and Grandpa Jay

I saw Abigail reading to Isaac on a blanket.  She is a good sister to him.
