A Memorable Day!!



We have been so greatly blessed as a family. On Saturday our nephew, Kahner, was able to enter the waters of Baptism. It was so neat to see him fulfill this great experience in his life.


He was baptized by his dad, Shane, and then confirmed a Member of the Church by his Dad, Grandpa Sumsion, Grandpa Lund, Uncle Whit, Uncle Aaron, and Brother Davenport. It was a pretty moving experience. The cousins and Brothers and Sister of Kahner were so excited to sit by the font and watch him.


After Kahners Baptism we all went out to lunch to celebrate not only Kahners special day, but also Jozef's 2nd Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!! I just can't believe that he is 2 already. Time just flies!! Jozef had alot of fun. His favorite gift I think was a "Shake and Go" Chicken car. It was very cute and had his attention, as well as Seth's attention.

Easter Sunday

So I am updating this a little behind schedule, but I guess now is as good as any. This was Seth on Easter Sunday after all the meetings. He usually crashes in nursery, but miraculously he made it to the car and then was out like a light. He ended up sleeping while all the others were hunting for easter eggs.

The eggs weren't there before church, but we think that the Easter Bunny came while we were at church because there were tonz of eggs around our house when we got home.

Aaron, Jake and Mary had a great time running aroud the yard finding all the eggs. I think all the sugar in their systems helped them because the hunt only lasted about 3 minutes. They were zooming around the yard like fast little wind up toys.

Anyway, we had fun with all the Easter festivities. The day before Easter the kids had fun searching for easter eggs around Grandpa, and Grandma Lunds home. So they got to go on two hunts. Later Saturday night we had all the kids strip down to their underwear and we colored easter eggs. What an exciting adventure. Let me just tell you that things like that just get to be so much more fun when there are more little hands involved. Yeah!!
Overall, Easter was great, and what a beautiful day!

Happy Birthday to my Brother!

I have to do a shout out to my Brother, Orville!! HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY!!! The whole family wishes that we could have been with him today for his birthday, but he is traveling to California for work. We pray that he will be successful and are looking forward to the day when he gets to stick around and we can see him more often.



To celebrate Orvilles birthday, Dad took us all out for lunch on Saturday. We had a great time!! The cousins all had a great time together, and Grandpa spoiled them with frozen slushies and desserts galore.


I guess that is what grandparents are for, right? To spoil their grandkids as much as they can. Moms and Dads can sometimes be too strict, but ask a grandpa or grandma, and your wish could come true. You just never know.

Thanks Dad and Mom! You are both so great! Great parents, and wonderful grandparents!

Meet our New Nephew!!

So I have just got to brag!! My Sweet sister, Dawn, and her loving husband, Shane, just welcomed baby number 5 to there family. We are all so excited for them! He was a pretty big little guy. He was born on Friday, the 14th of March. He weighed 9 lbs. 13 oz. He has cheeks bigger than a chipmunk! His name is Kyson Daniel. Wonderful!!!
Seth, although he already has a new baby to adore, thought that Kyson was certainly something neat. He was so interested in holding him and wanted to kiss him. He was also enjoying spending some time with his Uncle.

Of course the boys also thought that Kyson was just so cute. Aaron and Jake sure are getting the hang of this baby thing with a new brother and now a new cousin.

Mary thought that Kyson was cute, but could only handle holding him for a very short time. She said that he was too fat. He really is quite the tub, but so much more to love!!

Micah wasn't really that impressed with having to be next to Kyson. All Micah wanted to do was eat, but mommy was too interested in getting pictures of everyone.


Aren't they so cute together. Dawn and I seem to have a nack for getting pregnant at almost the same time. Some people have started to think that it was some sort of competition, but Dawn and I just think it's fun and nice that our kids have cousins the same age. Plus, it's always fun to be pregnant at the same time!

A GOOD WEEK!!

Everyone at our house is doing so much better. This week has been great! All the runny noses have ended and Aaron is slowly getting back to work after his sickness. As you can see, Seth, took an opportunity to paint our kitchen with butter while I was feeding Micah. I couldn't get mad at him, he's just too cute. He is so funny because he uses the dishwasher door as his step stool. Other than the usual craziness at home, we are all doing well, and we are looking forward to having a new baby cousin born later this week. Yeah!!!

What a Day!!

So we've discovered that Micah really loves his mobile. Today I had a ton of laundry to do so I turned on the mobile and he was so happy. He was cooing at it as it went round and round, and making such cute little sounds. He is getting so big and so fun. We love his smile.
Mary has officially decided that she does not like having her hair done. I bought her this cute hair piece. She was so excited to get it in her hair, but when it was finally in she threw a royal tantrum. After about 40 minutes of her screaming I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed it out of her hair and told her I couldn't take it anymore, that I was going to cut her hair short, and that I would never do it again. What do ya know, about five minutes later she was crying for me to do her hair again. She said she was sorry for being mean and that she wanted her hair done. I told her no way, and that she needed to learn to be nice to mommy. So if you see Mary and her hair is messy, ya know why. I am picking my battles!
The kids think that this is the greatest thing ever. Grandma Adrianne bought Micah a "Bumbo" to sit in. He looks so cute sitting in it and being so small. He can only take it for about 10 minutes tops, and then he gets sad and does this sad cry as his heads droops to the side. It's a tough job learning to hold that head up straight!
The excitement never ends at our home. Its just everyday stuff, but ya know, it's all we got!

What a Trip!!

So, we've discovered that it is pretty funny to live with someone on strong pain meds. Aarons been sleeping on the couch, and I have been watching the news. Aaron just turned to me and told me that he wished he had a funny joke that he could tell me, or that I had one that I could tell him. I think he was asleep when he said it. I told him that he acts weird while he is taking his medications for his pain. He asked me what I meant, and I told him about something that he said to me around midnight last night. I was sitting in bed and I thought Aaron was asleep when he started to mumble something about the aliens. It was like he was giving me advice. He said that if the Aliens came to abduct me that I should just be nice and hopefully they would be good to me. He said it twice and then mumbled stuff I couldn't understand. I told him to be quiet and to go back to sleep, which he did. We just had a good laugh about it because Aaron is trying to remember it. It's funny because the medications make him act all loopy, and it's rather fun. Anyway, it should be an interesting and fun next few days as he is on these prescriptions.
