Avery's Blessing

Avery's Blessing was great. Erik did a wonderful job and gave her a beautiful blessing. Avery did great too. I didn't get any pictures of just her in her dress (I was a little preoccupied have about 30 people over to our house afterwards for lunch)but she looked so pretty.

Here she is with my Grandparents. Her only set of Great Grandparents.

Her brother and sisters love her soooo much. I am so glad they treat her so cute and aren't jealous of all the attention she needs from me.

Our family isn't so little anymore. We feel so blessed so have these 4 beautiful, healthy children that we have the opportunity of raising.

What a day to remember...

Hannah and Avery, Hannah made her this blanket with Grandma Jones

Avery with her eyes open. We only saw her eyes about 6 times in the first couple of weeks. She would just grunt, eat, and go back to sleep.

Fire Station Fieldtrip

Siblings

Cameron and Kate are only 19 months apart. Most of the time they get along but they are starting to fight with each other more. The other day I found them on the front room couch sitting together looking at a book. They were giggling, pointing things out to each other and just having fun together. I came downstairs and took their picture. I just love it, what a couple of cuties!!

Zoo

-Soccer-

This is Cameron's first year playing soccer. He is having fun and doing good. He might have it a little confused with football and all the elbows and kids getting knocked down, but it is very entertaining to watch!!!

Hannah took last year off of soccer but decided to play again this year. She runs hard and is getting more aggressive each week. It's fun to watch the difference of boys and girls. These pictures are further away, but she is #6.

He did it again...

Erik rode Lotoja again September 11th. That's Logan to Jackson Hole-206 miles in one day!

Austin was his food support this year. So my parents, Shawnee, myself and the kids finally caught up to him in Alpine, Wyoming. Here are the kids with their dad.

Kate kept running up to Erik and hugging his leg, sooo cute.

One more hug before he took off to finish the race

Just crossed the finish line. The kids were cheering him on with their cowbells and my mom is holding the poster that Hannah made.

After the race getting back into the car again. Shawnee with her niece Hallie and Kate. Shawnee's sister Whitney lives in Alpine, she has come out both years to cheer for Erik, so nice, we love the family support.

We made it through again. My job was easier this year, just trying to catch up to Erik and to not have the baby early.

I am so proud of Erik, he shaved an hour off his time from last year. He is always his worst critic but I think he did awesome!!

A huge thanks to Austin and Shawnee and my mom and dad, there is no way we could have done it with out you all!!!
