2 months on day 3....

Well, this morning I took PD to her 2 month check up!  Can you believe it has been 2 whole months!  She is growing well and is happy. She weighed 11lbs. 4 oz. and was 24 inches long.  Putting her in the 67th%-tile for weight and the 96th %-tile for height.  She turning out to be our tall skinny strawberry blonde with blue eyes!  It's a good thing that she looks like us or people woule wonder who's she was!!  :o)

There's our big girl!  :o)

Almost as big as "Ella" her Elephant!

After I got back from the doctor's office, I took the big kids to the park and Sara stayed home with the sleeping babies so she could get some homework done.  We Delayed going to grandma's to give her a rest.  :o)

Boo and PG LOVED playing together...it is fun to watch him with someone his age.  

Everything they did was "Monkey See, Monkey Do"

They took turns doing things that they other one was sure to copy...soon!

He loves this bar thing, so I had to get a picture of it while I had my camera at the park. 

Told you...."Monkey See, Monkey Do!!"

again...

After lunch we decided to fingerpaint...It took PG a few minutes to get the hang of it but then he really liked it.

Kira seemed to be an old pro at it.

Even Ariana got her hands in the mix..It was fun!!!  Now my refridgerator front is full of little kid art!  I have now moved into a new stage of life...little kid art!  :o)

Ri found great joy in the bouncer!  And we found great joy in her giggles instead of screams!

I shared PD's bows with Sara's girls....isn't Ari cute?!  

day 3 continued while we were at home playing with the kids...They got all the shingles off both sides and 

Started rolling out tar paper so that the new shingles could be delivered in the morning

look, Jody is even good at clean up...Kira look at "Bobop" working

Kira was helping hand up the tar paper...ok, not really but she was so happy to be in the truck.

(sounds like someone else I know!)

Here is the side view of the new room on the back of the garage, and the new roof with sheeting and everything

You guys did a FABULOUS job! And quick too!  

It was so fun to have everyone that was here, here.

We love our family!!!!

Day 2

Day 2 was great too...

at least for PG who loved to climb up and down the latter...I later found out that he actually got on the roof and walk around looking for Papa...fortunately there was not mishap with that adventure!

Here is Doug and Jody putting on the new roof over the new room that they built yesterday!

Dad was hauling sheeting for the new roof. 

Trevor and Donna were on clean-up detail as Others ripped off the old shingles making room for the new.

Here is the master foreman...walking the ridge pole of the roof.

(Luckily his is more stable than Anne of Green Gables was!)

Day 1..

So Mom and Dad were in the Market for an addition on the back of the house and new shingles for the roof....So, they had Doug and Jody come out and help them.  With them came Donna's family (minus Ethan and Aubie).  Saddly Doug came without his family and Dan and Danna Didn't make it.  But Mike and Anna were here too.  

It made for a long week of partying!  It was quite fabulous!!  

SO....

Here is Jody and Trevor taking a break after putting the floor on the new room.

Donna and Dad looking on from below...

Ashton and Ransom making sure they are doing it all correctly!

Aunt Joy took the kids for a walk, and it was a little chilly so PG and Ransom barrowed sweaters.

PG is wearing Kira's jacket....

and Ransom is in Tahlia's....you know what they say...Real men wear pink!

Back, hard at work

Grandma getting PG's attention...it was too cute!  

Even the little kids were helping pound nails.   Ashton pounded nails for an hour or more I think....He was in heaven!  The other boys were too...they were ALLOWED hammers!  

Here is Fish holding PD

Who knew Grandma's couch could hold 7 (Michael, Tahlia, Joy, Donna, PD, Jody and Kira)

We even got to spend a little bit of time with Aubie over webcam!  It was great to see her again and talk to here, even though she is a thousand miles away!

Bear Lake one more time for the year!!!

This past weekend, we finally got to have our vacation.  KJ's work has a condo in Bear Lake and we got to use it for the weekend.  The weather was kind of crappy over the weekend but we made the most of it.  PG enjoyed the swing and running around after our tennis balls.  It was a great relaxing weekend!  Dave and Mindy were able to come up and spend a bit of time with us.  Conference was absolutely wonderful and we were able to watch and enjoy it up there.  Here are a few pictures from our trip!

Tid-Bits...

Here is PG doing his "chore" - 

it is his job to help daddy take out the trash!

It is really just an excuse to get outside!

she was sleeping sideways in the swing, it was cute to watch her peek out sometimes

box: (noun) boys favorite toy!

and a foam finger trap to boot!

Raise your hand if your sure!

(this is for the activity day girls that made these cute onesies!  I had to post one for them!)

Iron-On follow-up!

I got the patches at JoAnn Fabrics.  I got 2 in a package for $1.oo.  

They were WAY easy to do and fun too!  :o)

Family Home Evening!

Last night for family home evening, we make shirts for Halloween.  We just bought some white shirts and iron-ons and ironed them on! (I GOT THEM AT JOANN'S)  It was fun, we also made cookies...YUMMY!

Here is KJ hard at work, ironing!
