A Not-So-Depressing Post!

So after my last post I thought I'd better hurry and post something a little more uplifting. Also I just want to thank all the comments that were made. They were so kind and I seriously got teary with each one! It meant a lot so thank you . . . and I do realize how many wonderful people are in my life. It was such a woe-is-me moment. So the pity party is over and here is an update of my family! First off Little Girl! Is 6 weeks now. Weighing in at almost 11 pounds. 21 1/2 inches tall. Ear infections almost gone. Fussy time in the evenings before bed. But slept last night from 10-6 . . . I know champion right!The boys love her a whole heap . . . I little too much at times.Has to be one of my all time favorite pictures- Isaac thrilled and Maggie horrified. Here is what we did on Memorial Day Weekend. . . we went on a drive up to Woodruff Narrows and spent the afternoon throwing rocks, crawdad hunting, and making a camp fire. Kyler kept saying that we were playing camping. So glad we didn't really go camping seeing that it snowed so much!
Kyler graduated from Preschool. Here he is with his teachers!Kyler looking handsome in his cap and gown.Kyler and his best friend Gunnar.Maggie has been enjoying some time on her tummy. Though she doesn't stay there for very long. Isaac trying on Maggie's bath towel. It makes us think of the song "Flower gleam and glow!" from Tangled. This weekend we were able to go to James' baby blessing. He and Maggie are almost exactly a month apart. Maggie is wearing the dress that I was blessed in and James is wearing the outfit that my brother Stephen was dressed in. Kind of special.Kyler has started T-Ball. He has a lot of heart! It is so fun to see him on the field though I didn't realize how small he was in comparison to other kids his age! Anyways they take turns on the field and this is when Kyler's turn was to sit it out. He was so funny, cheering on his team and yelling for them to tag people out. So fun. He was always prepared with his mitt up. He'd even tag the runners with his mitt as they ran past . . . wether he had the ball or not.Travis' store is selling flowers now, so we bought a few to beautify our front area. It was so fun to plant flowers! I loved it! And of course we've loved the weather lately!And for those of you who don't know we are doing an experiment this summer. Every Friday we visit a different park in our city to find out which one is our favorite. This was Park #1- Overthrust Park. As you can see it was still chilly when we went but still had a great time. Park #2 we went to today- Hamblin Park. Thank goodness for the sun! It was also a wonderful time though less time was spent playing on the actual equipment.
Mostly they just wanted Alli to give them rides.Or eat crackers while they waited for Alli to give them a ride.Hope your summers are off to a great start too.- you know minus family services and pity parties.
P.S. Family Services did come and visit us the other day. All is well and they were very nice and friendly. I'm just glad they came in the afternoon and not in the morning when Eldon decided to have a morning jog without anything on his lower half.
