Worms

Brooklyn and Dallin found a "family" of worms. 
They had a mom, dad, kids, grandparents and I think maybe an aunt and uncle. 

They kept telling me they were snuggling together because they love each other. 

When Dallin exclaims, "Oh,  how cute",  it changes how I view it when he says the same thing to his new baby sister.   

CAMI

Surprise! 
Here are a few pictures from the surprise birthday party the
nieces and nephews worked so hard on.

Cami and Kami

 Cami...She is amazing and  we all absolutely love her. Someday I hope I can be as cool as her. Thanks for everything you do for us!
Happy late B-day!

St. George Trips

A Great Mom (Post by Brandon)


I know that I rarely post (okay, never might be more appropriate), but this is too good to pass up, and Elena wouldn't be willing to let this photo see the light of day if I let her know that it existed.

This photo is evidence of why Elena is the best mom ever. I am of the opinion that kids do not belong in our bed during the night. Elena and my sleep is valuable, and when the kids join us I end up with feet in my back, or getting relegated to the edge of the bed so the kids can spread out and be comfortable. Last night I woke up at 2:00 AM to find Brooklyn sleeping in our bed, so I quietly and gently (like a loving father who was not at all frustrated)
got up and moved her to back to her room. I then slept soundly through the night assuming that everything was hunky dory.

You can imagine my surprise when I woke up, turned over to give Elena a "good morning, I love you" kiss and I saw this:

YES! Elena is a great mom and now the world knows (or at least the 6 people who read our blog)! I do think Elena is a great mom and feel very lucky that she was willing to settle for me as her husband.

Love you babe! Please let me know when you have forgiven me for this post and I can safely come home again. Thanks!
