Trip to Flagstaff

Last weekend we ventured on down to Flagstaff to see Ben's sister, Juli. It was her birthday and this past year she has gone through the fight against Breast Cancer. It was really good to see her and Kalianna. We went fishing and the Juli caught a fish for us for dinner. We also had a BBQ. It was very fun and relaxing. The drive is a killer. It's about 5 hours one way of nothing but desert and Indian Reservation. On the way home I got so bored I started taking picture out the window of clouds on my phone. I was just trying out different settings.

The kids with Juli's fish

 Caleb LOVED the doggie door. That is how he would get in and out of the house. Notice JJ (the dog). I don't know what he thought of all this.

 Here is one of my cloud pictures. I had about 20. Ben got a laugh out of me.

Coleman 8 months

Coleman turned 8 months on the 16th. The same day his cousin, Carson, was born. Coleman has mastered crawling around and sitting up. He can also pull himself up to standing.His front bottom teeth have come in and his front top teeth are just breaking through. Most days he takes two naps. He eats baby food about 2-3 times a day and loves crackers. Since we have moved his sleeping through the night has been a joke. He gets up at least once. He was a really good sleeper before so it's been frustrating. I would just let him cry it out, but he shares the room with Kaelynn. I need to get it figured out, because I am bone tired of it. Overall Coleman is a happy baby that loves to observe his surroundings.

 The older kids and I made block houses and pretended Coleman lived in one. They thought it was so funny.

Easter Egg's in the park

When we were in S.G. we coloring Easter eggs and hid them at the park. We had a fun picnic with fried chicken and potato salad.

Splash Pad in April

For Spring Break I took the kids to St. George. We went the splash pad on Wednesday. It was 80 degrees out. Such a perfect day. When we came back to Panguitch we had to wear sweaters.

Since we've moved...

So far Panguitch seems to be a good fit. The kids are in school and seem to be doing well. They have also made a few friends in the neighborhood. There are a few things that I have noticed that are a little different then what I am used to. For example I think I am the only mini van driver in town. There is also a large population of people that drive around with their dog in the back of their trucks. It seems like every time I go to the post office I am greeted by a dog in the back of the truck next to me. I guess I am going to have to buck up and learn how to drive our truck.

Here we are at Panguitch Lake. There was still a thin layer of ice on it. It will be a fun place to go in the summer.

Kaelynn made Easter eggs at school. Kaelynn and Tyler have done some really fun projects in school.
I decided to make a new sheet for Coleman's crib. After 3 boys (and 1 girl) the crib sheet were kind of thin and gross. It never occurred to me that it would be so easy to make my own sheets. I had to use my mom's sewing machine because mine was still packed.
Coleman - He has started to crawl and can sit up from crawling position. He is also a very happy baby. Since we have moved he has had a hard time sleeping, but I think he is getting better.
I have also read a few books and just kept up with the kids. Today we are listening to conference. It had been very uplifting. This week is Spring Break for the kids and we are planning on going to St. George for a few days to get a little warmer.
