A new addition!

My baby sister had her first baby yesterday. What a neat experience that was! I was able to be in the room with her when Madison was born. I seem to forget how much work these little miracles are to bring into this world. We are very excited to have another girl in the family. My boys could not wait to meet her.

I feel guilty............

So I have to confess that I feel like a horrible mom! I let Dylan climb up to retrieve Christmas decorations that were still remaining. I have been waiting for Joe to help me and it just hasn't happened. I had looked at it long enough and Dylan volunteered to help, so I let him. I keep thinking what if he would have fallen. He loved every moment....not one of my finest.

I was putting laundry away yesterday and I stuck Justin in his crib for a few minutes. When I turned around this is what I found! I had not lowered his crib yet. You would think after 4 boys I would take care of this. I was right there but it was still scary! He thought he was pretty neat stuff.


I made Joe lower his crib as soon as he came home. Joe stuck him in the laundry basket while we were working on the crib. I don't know why he thought that would be safer. So again here is Justin standing up in the laundry basket. I have a lot of baby proofing to do! I had a talk with him. I told him he had to stay a baby for just a little longer. I am not ready for him to do this. They grow so fast!

Our Hawaii trip

My parent's kept our older boys while we were in Hawaii. They took the boys to a Utah Jazz game. The boys had a lot of fun! They talked grandma into jersey's. They wear them everywhere. It was hard leaving them for a week but we knew they were in good hands. We really appreciate everyone that helped with the boys while we were gone. Thank you!
