Here are some pictures of the newest member of our family. The ultrasound was an amazing experience. The baby was very active and cooperative. Everything looked perfect. The gender photo is at the end...if you can't tell what it is... I don't know what to tell you....

Katelyn started Kindergarten (...a month ago...) It was uneventful. She is gone the same amount of time as she was for preschool; it's just everyday instead of every other... She loves it and loves her teacher, Mrs. Ericksen. She was NOT nervous...only excited!

WHY....would I post a picture of Jason mowing the lawn? Isn't that a weekly event around here? well...first of all.....LOOK AT THAT LAWN!!!!! I mean: WOW! Jason planted it from seed with his bare hand (I think he used a spreader, actually; but he did push that spreader with this bare hands!) This beautiful lawn has been his "baby" and has gotten the care and attention of a newborn child in the ICU. Mowing it was a "milestone," so to speak. (And we bought a shiny new lawn mower!) The old one wouldn't have been good enough for OUR lawn...

Katelyn LOST HER 1st TOOTH!!!! What?
I thought she was too young to loose teeth, but apparently not! It has been loose for about a week and it came out this morning. There were no tears involved! (do you KNOW Katelyn...pretty miraculous!) She was playing with Ethan and came in with a mouth full of blood and a tooth in hand. SHE WAS ELATED!!! (So was I because I didn't have to pull it out!)

Josh and Chantel were married June 30th, 2010 in the Salt Lake temple! Congratulations! We love you!

My newest niece: Camille Rose Snow
Tyler, Ashley, Lauren, and Cami all surprised us and showed up in UT at the end of June. We were very surprised and VERY EXCITED to see them!!! Isn't she beautiful?

A day at the lake...
We went up to Payson lakes a few weeks ago and had some fun.
Thanks for letting us borrow the canoe dad!

He looks like he's on a mission...

We did a bridal shower for Chantel (Josh's bride to be). It was a great party!

Josh's new mother-in-law

This is the cake I made for Jason's birthday. This post is entirely dedicated to Heather to let her know that: I truly wish you were here because you are one of the few people who can truly appreciate this masterpiece. If you can't tell from the picture, there is a pool of magic shell in the middle of the cake. Let's go swimming!

Katelyn's preschool graduation!
It was so fun to watch her sing songs for her program and receive her diploma. She was the last of 30 kids to get her diploma and I wish we had a picture of the look on her face while she was waiting. (She, like most 5 yr olds, is not particularly patient).

Katelyn with teacher Carrie. This woman is amazing and truly born to be a preschool teacher. When I commented to her how much we have loved her she said that it is such and fun and EASY (yes, she said EASY) job because the kids make it so pleasant. I obviously wasn't "born" to teach preschool ...which is why I don't...see how that works out :0

Katelyn turned 5 on May 11! We had a Cinderella birthday party. Here are some of the highlights!

Happy Mother's day to me! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these sweet little gift from my kids. Ohhh... I love it! Jason gave me a really awesome watch too!

I'm not sure where the phrase "you shine" came from...probably from one of our signing time movies. It is very sweet either way.
