What Blogs Are For

Blogs are for about your kids.  So here is a post full of videos of last weekend.  

We went to a BYU Alumni 5k race where they had free kids races.  
Corbin (in the dark grey shirt) and Kamryn ran in a 200m race...
Ashlyn (pink shirt) ran in a 300m race...
Dylan (in Navy) ran in a 400m race...
I am a proud mama!

We then went to Dylan's flag football game, he's #20.  You may want to watch it a few times, I think it is pretty amazing!
 Hopefully Dylan will continue his football success and our retirement will be assured.

1 Month

I can't believe it's been a month already.  But then again we are in a much better routine than we were (that is until the kids get out of school.)

We are still, if not more, in love with little Mercedes as we were the day she came...
 And she's just as cute if not cuter...

 And just as fun to be around...

 And there are still moments that make us laugh...

 Ashlyn has a magical touch with Mercedes.  She is almost a second me, besides her inability to lactate.  Dylan also has a special touch, he's put her to sleep in his arms two Sunday's in a row...
As you can see, she's plumping up quite well due to the cream milk she eats.  Bring on the rolls, we love them!

Unfortunately that isn't all we have been up to this last month...

Connor got called as Young Men's 2nd counselor and Assistant to Scout Master- so he'll be gone on a lot of campouts.  They went to the Sand dunes just a week after Mercedes was born so the boys went along.  They had a blast!

They played football in the river and went sledding down the sand.  We loved the sand dunes in the Outer Banks, Dylan says these are 10 times the size!

And of course when the boys are gone we have to do fun, girly stuff like going to Charming Charlie's!
They really should pay Kamryn for marketing.  Everyone in the store couldn't keep their eyes off of her.  Not only was she the cutest dancer but she put together some amazing combinations! 

This is what happens when I tell Corbin and Kamryn they shouldn't put their corn on the cob on the patio table because I don't know how clean it is...

We went to a BYU 5k in Highlands Ranch last weekend.  They had free kids races by age group.  Dylan won a 400m race, Ashlyn finished her 300m race, Corbin got 2nd in his 200m race and Kamryn and I walked a 200!  I was so proud.  


Our library had a publics works day.  We got to tour a bunch of trucks... Fire Truck, ambulance, and salt and snow plow.  Corbin and Kamryn got to control the remote control "car" that has a video camera on it that they put down into the pipes underground.


And of course the only thing to do during an oil change is to get some cold treats at Burger King.  You Should try their icy lemonades!
Busy is all so relative!
