I guess I never do learn my lesson...

trip to utah

Zach said that his favorite part of the trip was jumping on the tramp. He probably spent about 8 hours a day jumping on the tramp.
Grace loved the pool! She has NO fear of water. She slid down the slide, jumped off the diving board and would swim all around the pool with her water wings. She even did it without water wings! Mark had to swim over a saver her a couple of times. We had to keep a really close eye on her.





Hanging out with cousins.




I love this picture! Sadie has one eye closed, zach's are open and Raegan's are closed.
Sorry, this is backwards but we stopped at WallDrug on our way to Utah. The kids loved eating lunch at the big dinosaur and loved the water fountains at walldrug. We spent about 2 hours there. We were all in need of a long break.


Doing races on the grass to get our energy out.

Pictures of the last few days

I have practicing with my camera. I'm still not very good, but still wanted to post a few of my favorites. Mainly for Jami and my mom to see.



If a picture could sum up Cooper. This would be it. He is so happy and lovable, despite getting beat up by his older sister.

Grace, just being Grace. We love her but she sure is a handful. Constantly bugging Zach and trying to jump on Cooper and making all kinds of messes.

Today we went to the Zoo with my sister in law Jana, mother in law, and friend Heather. After the zoo we played at the park.

Zach's favorite part was the seal show
I love Zach's little cheek dimple.



Last Saturday Zach and I ran a race. It was my first race since Cooper was born! Zach ran a 1k. I ran with him. He loved it. He was so excited to get a t-shirt and a metal, but most of all he loved all the goodies he got afterwards. There was cookies, freezies, apples, bananas, bagels, and oranges.

I went to a friend in my wards house the other day. She gave me a little photography lesson. This picture isn't very good at all but Zach was having so much fun playing fetch with their dog i wanted to post it. Cooper also loved their dog.

Family visit

My family came to visit us. It was so much fun. It was fun to show them where we live. We also spent a couple of days in Wisconsin Dells. The kids loved it. Zach and Grace love the water. They have no fear, so they had to be watched very closely.

Sorry, the pictures are out of order...

Zach got so wiped out the first day of nonstop running that the next morning he said he couldn't walk. He spent all morning on the bed watching TV (always a novelty when going to a h0tel)

Zach and Grace had so much fun wrestling and playing with their uncles. Zach has been constantly asking me when we are going to the uncles house.


As you can tell, I just love a good Italian restaurant.

Zach's birthday and other pictures

Poor Grace fell out of her bed the other night and hurt her lip.

Cooper is getting more and more mobile. He just started scooting forward to get to toys (or whatever he wants, paper usually)

Zach has been LOVING puzzles lately. He will spend hours doing them. He is pretty good at them too.

Zach got a haircut this last weekend. Mark buzzed it!
Zach turned 4 yesterday! i can't believe he is four. Time is going by way too fast.


Grace was so tired yesterday. She didn't take a nap (about 15min in the car). She usually takes 2 1/2 - 3 hr nap in the afternoon.

HOT

It has gotten really hot here! It was over 100 degrees, which is pretty miserable without AC. We knew the AC didn't work when we bought the Town Home but never got around to fixing it. We got desperate enough and had it fixed today. HOORAY for a cool house!





Sunday Pictures








Block Party and Rhubarb Days. On Friday and Saturday our Town celebrated Rhubarb Days. Friday afternoon and evening they had a block party with games and food. They kids had a blast. Zach's favorite thing was the bounce house. He spent about an hour in there. It was so hot and humid though that he had to come out every few minutes to catch his breath and cool off.
I just had to show a picture of our patio garden. I hope it grows well. Some things look good others not. In any case it is really fun for me to have a Garden.
