The Man and the Moon

I'm so sad summer is almost over!!! I love going outside at night when the temp is just perfect!

Bear World

While my mom was visiting, we wanted to take her somewhere fun. She had never been to Bear World, so we decided that would be the perfect place - close by and not too hard to take a newborn to. It's been a few years since our family has been. Bria and Max were facinated by seeing all the bears. They were even more facinated by the free rides and petting zoo at the end, though.

Grandma's Visit

After Logan was born, my mom came up for a week to help take care of the kids while I was still recovering. It was so fun! Since she lives so far away, the kids don't get to see her very often. Bria kept asking her grandma to come and stay for a month next time. Since she left, the kids ask to talk to her on the phone almost daily. It was really fun for them to spend time with her. She was such a huge help with doing the laundry and cleaning the house....apart from keeping Bria and Max entertained. She walked Bria too and from the bus stop every day. She played with Max and helped keep him company when Bria was at school.

Logan's Blessing

On Sunday, August 30th we had Logan's baby blessing. He was just 10 days old, but we decided to have it since my mom came to visit/help. Instead of making her make a second trip in another month or two, now seemed like just as good of a time as any.

Logan got his blessing outfit from Grandma Martin. That was her baby gift for all of our kids.

After the blessing, we invited everyone to our house for lunch. It was so fun visiting everyone! It was a fabulous day! Almost all of Dave's family came. He even had an uncle, two aunts and some cousins attend. Quite a few people from my family came - my mom, sister, brother and aunt. We wish everyone could have made it, but it's hard with traveling. No one in my family even lives in Idaho.
