A perfect way to end the summer

We blessed Kelsie over labor day weekend and had the best weekend with our families. All of my siblings stayed the whole weekend and we loved having them here.

During the summer we got to stay at grandma and grandpa Mitchell's house for a few weeks. The kids learned to love and ride horses, especially Yankee. Now that summer has come to an end we are really missing our lazy Santaquin days out with the horses.......

11 Days

Kelsie is just 10 days old for her first photo shoot, my cousin Jill does such an incredible job and I was so excited with the pictures we got. Anthony was a good sport to come along and be apart of the moment. I was hoping for some sleeping shots but little Kelsie was wide awake for the entire session.

Kelsie Mae

She is finally here!! I was beginning to think I would be pregnant forever! I haven't ever carried a baby that long she came just 2 days before her due date or 2 days after depending which date you were going by. As for me she was about 2 weeks late.....since my last two babies came so early I was quite certain she would too, so I set myself up for 2 long weeks. Which actually turned out to be filled with tons of summer fun with our families. Here is the crew, all 5 of them! They were all so excited to see her.

I was lucky enough to have my sister in law Patty as my nurse and my favorite OB Dr. Anderson there to deliver Kelsie and it was the perfect! We are so happy to have her here healthy and well. And I am so grateful I didn't have to have a c-section again....now if I could just get some sleep????

We love summer!!

Although our summer is a little slower paced this year since I am month away from my due date we are still enjoying every moment. I feel really good and we are all so excited to see our new little sister.

We started our the summer with a first for us. Kaitlen fell and broke her arm....

:( She has been so good about it and we are all hoping it is a first and last for our family.

No summer is complete without a visit from my sister and her cute little family. This year they were able to come up to our house for a little while and the kids had so much fun riding bikes and four wheelers around the neighborhood. The best part of our summers is spending so much time with our family. The kids love all their cousins and have the best time playing together.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer!!

I finally got the girls pictures done.... a little behind but I was so excited about the way they turned out. Each of them show their own little personalities.

A Spring Break

Anthony's golf team had their state tournament in Moab this past week so we decided to spend a few extra days down there with the kids. It was so much fun to spend some time hiking, swimming, and just enjoying some warmer weather.

I love watching my kids hike around and enjoy being outdoors as much as I do.
