Sunday: 35 weeks
Makenna wearing Daddy's coat and shoes.
Tuesday: We took the oldest 3 to do baptisms at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple (usually they go by themselves) and got to show Samuel the temple (he's been asking to go for a long time). Then I took these 6 to a park behind the temple. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful little outing.
There was no parking anywhere so I just had to get these pictures from the van. And I let the kids get out and walk around for a minute while I circled the parking lot, but I didn't get to get out and walk or talk with them, which I was sad about. Utah temples are always super busy.
Having lunch.
Wednesday: What a cute sleeper. I can't believe he's not going to be the baby anymore.
Andy and Sam sweeping.
Thursday: Madalyn picked out these flowers for a spot that has an automatic sprinkler but only grows weeds. I don't want to pull the weeds all summer like I did last year so I splurged and got a few big flowers/shrubs to hopefully take over that spot. When we got home Makenna jumped in the van with the flowers and collected all the petals that had fallen off.
Thursday afternoon Kylie took 5 kids to This is the Place with our pass, which is about to expire. The weather was perfect and they had a great time. Madalyn took these pictures.
A cute baby calf. (Probably cuter in person:))
Thomas

Makenna
On the train. Pull that tooth out girl!
Panning for gold
Kylie treated them to a mini donut.
Friday Nathan took the 4 boys to the father/son campout. I took the 5 girls on a walk around a nice neighborhood then got some dinner at the grocery store. Then we went home for a brownie bake-off.
Makenna made these ones.
Kylie made cream cheese brownies with Kaitlyn.
Alexis made oreo mousse brownies.
Madalyn made mint brownies but we forgot to take a picture of them. I made s'more brownies and dark chocolate brownies on Saturday when I wanted to continue the bake-off. We had a great time.
Saturday: The boys had a pretty good time at the campout. Spencer took this picture of snow behind the pavilion. Crazy to be camping with snow still on the ground.
He took these pictures to prove how ugly it was. He didn't want to go because he said last year it was so ugly. Nothing like NC. I think Utah topography is growing on us because I don't think it's as ugly as I would have thought had I seen it last year. I think it's rather pretty in it's own way.
More snow. The boys froze.
They forgot coats and wore 4 layers--nearly all the clothes they brought.
Samuel canoeing.
Thomas and Spencer
Ducks in the lake.
I put all 3 of these pictures on here because I liked the different facial expressions.
When Samuel got home he looked like a marshmallow in all those clothes. He had a long sleeved shirt, then a short sleeved shirt, then long sleeve, then short. Then he had 2 pairs of pants with shorts on top.
Kaitlyn dressing up as the Nutcracker just for some Saturday play.
