What it's like having 4

The last day of June Kristie had baby Daisy, so we went

down to visit them soon thereafter.  

What a cutie!  I love new babies.

We are so happy that they were able to

add another baby to the mix.

Look how pretty they both are

Mommies and their babies :)

To help out with recovery we asked if we could take Lilah for a few days.

She's easy enough, my boys adore her, it's a win for all involved.

So last minute we brought her home for the weekend.

What fun having 4 little ones 4 and under.

Friday we went to Nathan's Equation Annual Party.

There were snowcones, face painting, and awesome

balloon making people there.  

Saturday we found a salamander in our backyard,

so we caught him and then took him down to 

the lake to let him go :)

Before letting him go I have hit a new one

of being a mom of boys.

We kept the salamander in that little

bug box, and were watching him until

Nathan got home from a bike ride.

Well, he was by the front door, and then James 

said "opps" I need some help.

The salamander had been trying to climb the

sides, which he couldn't very well, so James was

"helping" him.  That resulted in spilling muddy water

in our front entryway all over.  Not too big a deal,

he helped to clean it up.  Then I sat on our luckily

brown couch, and it was wet! With what I then realized was

dirty salamander water! That was the first place that 

James had tried to "help" the salamander climb the sides.

Yep, offically mom of boys after scrubbing the dirty 

water mostly out of the couch :/

We went to Snowbasin to play on the playground

and had a picnic there.

Cuties :)

Then that night we made smores and

had a fire in our "awesome" firepit

(we didn't do a garden this year, so we 

keep the weeds down and dug a hole in 

the garden area, and will occasionally

build fires there now)

The kids loved it!

Sunday we took them all to church.

Mostly they we pretty good.

It showed me what it would be like to have

four kids someday.

This also showed me how girls are different 

than boys.  Lilah had gotten a mosquito bite on

her foot, so at church she had to keep taking off

her shoe because it itched.

James took Lilah to primary with him,

such cute little second-cousins :)

Lilah ended up not wanting the dress she

had packed for church.  Well, it just so happens that

I have a few dresses from when I was little that I'm

saving for a little girl that I hope to have. 

I brought it out for Lilah, and she LoVeD it!!

Then she let me curl her hair for church too,

and we had matching hair! :)

What a cutie to get my girl fix with:)

Thank you Tom and Kristie for sharing your little girl

with us!  And Congratulations on another little princess!!
