Handy Man Carl........

When we found out that Ethan was joining our family we had to try and figure out where to put the little guy. Caleb wasn't super excited about sharing his room with a newborn and we only had 3 bedrooms upstairs with a loft. So my super duper handy husband drew up some plans to convert our loft into a bedroom for Ethan and to add a new loft above the vaulted formal living room. Be prepared for TONS of pictures but I am pretty amazed and proud of the job that he did. It was hard living in a construction zone but he seriously did the whole project in about 2 months. He spent every weekend on it and often worked until midnight durring the week. I found out that kids can sleep through an air compressor going off, drill guns and lots of hammering and sawing.

Picnic with the Family

Between sessions on Conference Sunday we took the kiddos for a picnic and a hike up by the river. It was a beautiful, sunny day here and our family in Utah was getting snowed on.

He is as tall as me now!

Go A's

Ashlee is the only one playing baseball this season since Caleb is on a traveling basketball team and Syd is doing tap. Her team this year is the A's. She is doing awesome.

basketball 2010-2011

Caleb made his 7th grade basketball team this year and also played on the City Rec team, so for about 4 months we had ALOT of basketball around here. He did really good and had a great season. He's 5'6" now with size 10.5 feet.

Ethans First Photo Shoot

Ethan had his first photo shoot when he was 5 days old. Once again my beautiful friends did an amazing job. He was such a good boy and they got some fantastic shots of him.
