Moose Trails

It has been a while since I have updated my blog but I think I have a pretty good excuse.  Our very cute little girl finally arrived the day after Tommy's birthday!  She came with no real serious problems except that when she was ready to come she came quickly!  I was admitted at 7:30-am and she was born at 11:03-am!!  I was given the epidural that I so very wanted but she had her own birth plan and was ready to arrive.  So in 2 contractions I went from a 6 to a 10!  Can you say OUCH!!!  4 pushes later she was here and she was beautiful!!  

It got up to the high 90's today so we decided to do "indoor" activities.  The kids have never been bowling before so we decided to go and give it a try.  Janae, Kindra and Drayden  joined us for a game. The kids thought the bowling shoes where the coolest shoes ever and ran around trying to find the right color bowling ball for them before they could start the game.  I think if the object of the game was to see how slow you could roll the ball without knocking any pins over then the kids would be pros!!  It was very fun to watch them try to roll those heavy balls down the isle without slipping and falling.

                       

 The kids and I went to a wedding tonight; we have known this friend for about 7 years now.  He is one of the nicest guys that I have known and we where so excited to hear that he was getting married.  We car pooled with some other good friends of ours and found some other good friends that we haven't seen in a very long time.  Afton found an old toddler friend of hers and they seemed to have no problem being back together again running around holding hands and playing like it was just yesterday that they where together.  It was a great night of old friends and memories, I look forward to making more memories soon with all of them.

Afton has finally lost her top two teeth.  She is really cute to listen to when she is talking, she has a slight lisp! :)  Her bottom two teeth are starting to come in but right now she just has a big hole.  She thinks it is fun to put her straw through the hole when she is drinking something!! 

Yesterday I had another ultrasound done to check Makenzie's heart and spine; she looks great!!  The technician said that she is defiantly still a girl and weighs about 3 pounds from her measurements.  I'm about 30-31 weeks along now.  Here is her latest picture...just  in case you don't know what your looking at, it is looking right down on her face.  You can see one of her eyes pretty good and to the right of her face is a little hand.

Today we took the kids on a little hike to Bridal Veil Falls.  It was a beautiful day for being outside and the kids loved it.  The Provo River was very full and fast moving from all of the snow they have gotten this past year.  Once we reached the falls the kids just had a blast climbing up some of the way and walking in the water.  I was just waiting for one of them to fall in and Tommy was the winner of falling in the water first.  Rob and I laughed so hard at the expression on his little face as his little body hit the cold water.  Wish I could of caught that with the camera!
