    Cedar LeeAnne

    No Comments

    We had visitors on Monday and Tuesday! Cedar and John and Tracie were here from Alaska. We loved on Cedar a lot and compared her and Ray a lot and went to the Manilla pond and ate Alaskan Salmon and Bacon Ice Cream! all yummy. We walked to the park and played Small World, watched lots of Olympics and just loved having them here.

    Ray is 2 weeks older but they are very similar in Size. Ray wins gut and Cedar wins legs. Ray can roll over but Cedar can sit. So Fun.

    Back to Reality

    On Sunday night we got back from our two week vacation in Wisconsin. We had a ton of fun. I will blog that adventure as soon as I figure out how to condense that much fun. This week has been fuller than I expected. But lots of fun. Ben took Monday off to help with the unpacking, cleaning the car and fixing the sprinklers. Erica and Than came by for a few hours in the afternoon so we had some fun chill time with them.

    On Tuesday I watched Ryan and Tara’s kids all day which was also a blast. We haven’t played with them in over a month. And that evening we went to Salt Lake for Sam Hancock’s wedding reception. He looked super happy and we got to visit with good friends.

    remember these guys? good memories of being together last summer

    funny face - isn't he so big now?

    Wednesday we all took Raymond to his 4 month well check (he is 5 months though). He weighed 17 pounds. We also had the Dr look at the rash that Benji has had for a month now.  He got some cream to rub on it. In the afternoon we went to the pool and then had the Falabella cousins over to play.

    Rose might be addicted to Blues Clues!

    I am declaring today a lazy day. I want to do nothing. But I also want to finally get the laundry put away and the house in order. We’ll have to see who wins out. So far lazy is winning. Either way we have to get Benji to the dentist at 4 so I should at least be dressed by then.

    Pre California

    I went to California last week! I have a deal with myself that if Ben is going to be gone then I can be gone also. So Ben went to scout camp and I took the kids to CA. LaNell came with me because I CANNOT make the drive by myself and we had a wonderful trip minus a few long hours of screaming in the car. Anyway, rewind another week before last week and that is where these pictures are coming from:

    slip n slide

    We had a free Saturday and spent it at home doing a few chores but mostly just being home as a family. The kids did the slip n slide and then took the cold hose in the hot hot tub and played for hours. Rose wore arm floaties and couldn’t quite relax with them.

    Cali loves the camera and she loves swimming

    The next day we got to pick my niece and nephew up at the airport. Shae is 17 and Braden is 14. They got to go to EFY this year so we spent Sunday evening hanging out with them before they went to BYU for the week. We also spent time with the Nettesheims that night for Ellie’s birthday.

    Joel took this random pic of Brewer waiting for us to get home Sunday night. He's a good lookin dog.

    A few more random pictures:

    Our backyard Tree that we love.

    Each of our children have enjoyed this swing.

    Rose chewing on a rag - she loves to do this after every meal - weird - but whatever.

    Summer is going way to fast. It just started but I can already see the end…

    I took some pictures of Raymond when he was 3 months old as I have done with all my children. He is now almost 4 months old but here they are:

    My Favorite - classic fist to chin baby pose

    And then the other kids wanted in on the photo shoot so we took all of their pictures too. (I already posted those.)

    3 Months Old

    Raymond loves attention. He has the biggest smiles right now. He has been a Great Sleeper – 10 pm to 6am and back to sleep until 10am. He spends his awake time chewing on his fist, looking at his hand and watching all of the chaos. He loves to get his diaper changed, always wants to be face out and he’s following all of his siblings in the chubbiness department.

    love this chubby baby

    Baby Cedar!

    Baby Cedar came to Utah to meet us! She lives in Alaska with her mom (my sister, Tracie) and her dad (John Lewis). That’s why I am giving her her own blog post – – this might be the only time we see her before she is 5! πŸ™‚

    On Sunday April 22nd we went to her blessing and spent the day with family in Murray? (i think)

    After Cedars party we went straight to Amanda’s birthday party. No pictures of Amanda but Great Grandma Nettesheim was there and listened to the kids play in the corner. It was neat just having her there with us.
