Playing catch up.

This has been a wild ride. If orgot how much time a newborn takes. We are finally starting to feel normal again. Andrew finished his baseball and they played awesome. THey were fun to watch. We got Jeff ready and off to scout camp. He is an amazing Leader and his boys love him. We have attempted seven peaks a couple of times and have done okay. School starts in a couple of weeks and we are actually excited. If you want to know what we have been up to scroll on down to our crazy lives.

A blessing and a funeral

Grandpa Dean, Jeff and Luke

Our new little family

Grandpa Brent, andrew, Caden, and Luke. They are a handsome group.

Jeff and Brooke after Luke was born.

We had the oppurtunity to bless Luke on Sunday in our home. all of our family came to be with us. We have such amazing family and friends. We decided to do it at our home because of the paranoid mom. I don't want him to catch any illness. It was really nice. Jeff did a great job and he is a great father. He had just gotten home from Scout camp and was tired, but still did an amazing job. After the blessing, we had a yummy little breakfast and then just hung out. My sweet little sis Lesli and her husband were leaving from my house to move to Texas. We have a very close family and it makes it hard when one of them moves away. My mom was sad to see her go. It was closing a chapter in their lives and that was hard. I have to say, my Parents raised us to be who we have become. We have wonderful families that we are now raising, we are all close to our Heavenly father, and we all love each other. They should be very proud of the parents they are. We love them.

Before Les and Dan left we found out that their fish they had had for 2 years had died. It was so fitting. So we buried Rambo in the garden and said a few words. It was so funny. We will miss you Lesli and Dan and can't wait to see you in a few months.

5 weeks old

Where does the time go? Luke is already 5 weeks old. The funny thing is, is that he is now the size of a newborn. He is almost 7 pounds. To me he is cha.nging so much and growing so big. I held a 3 week old baby the other day and realized that my little guy is still bite size, but I love it. I love his littleness. He has been a great baby and I can't imagine our family with out him i it. I get up at 2 in the morning and love to hold and feed and sing to my favorite little man. It doesn't matter how tired i am, I just love to hold him and stare into his big blue eyes. The kids love him and sometimes love him too much. Poor Luke has two little mommies and they want to help all the time. I love it.

4th and 24th of July!

Our Miss Morgan

We stayed here for the 4th of July, seeming how Luke had just gotten home. We had a BBQ and then did fireworks that night. The kids loved it. Poor Jeff ended up having a little neighbor put her sparkler into his hand. It didn't look to bad at first, but after a couple of days it was looking bad. So we took him to the doctor and they removed all the dead skin and put some stuff on the 3rd degree burn and wrapped it up. They put him on antibiotics and he is doing great. I wish I would have taken a picture. It was a very relaxing weekend.

The 24th of July is huge here in Spanish Fork. Every year we go to the Rodeo and they last couple our little Lauren has muttin busted. So we went to the Rodeo Wed. night minus Luke. We left him with our neighbor. Lauren Fell off the sheep pretty hard, but still had a great time. We loved watching the other events. Friday morning we loaded up and went to the parade. We actually took Luke to the parade and he did great. After the parade, we did a BBQ and then tried to do fireworks, but it started to rain. It was a very fun 24th. I love July!
