We came to Phoenix for Eli's 4th birthday party. We hung out and waited for BYU's second rain delayed game. Caleb is crawling and my kids loved playing with their two cousins. Boys had a blast in the dirt!

Been awhile :)

I got on here and wanted to see who still blogs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that many people still do, and so I decided to get back into bloging/journaling. I am disenchanted with facebook and all the issues arising from it, and am now remembering how fun blogging was. I am currently without camera, but hoping that will change soon. Over the next few days I thought I would do a picture catch-up. Hope you enjoy!!

Illness

I had high hopes of posting a bunch in February, but life happens. First Ryan got pneumonia and we were in the hospital for a couple of days with him. Then Emma and Sean got Strep Throat, when they were just about finished, Ryan got the Strep bug too. Poor guy had 20 days of Amoxicillin. Last week I got a bout with a nasty flu bug that kept me glued to the house, until I went to Urgent Care and got a nausea shot. When March came I had hoped that we would all be finished with the sickness, but much to my dismay poor little 2 month old Cera came down with RSV and Bronciolitis. We are just praying that all gets well soon so that we may travel to Utah and watch the beautiful blessing of Eli to my sister Michelle and husband Aaron!
