Noah loves the train

More pics from this is the place, I know, sorry. But these pics of Noah were too cute to pass up. He loved this little train. He spent so much time playing on it and we had to pry him off to leave. He is such a boy and I love it, well most of the time! What a cutie!!

This is the place

Saturday our family drove to Salt Lake to visit, the "This is the place" park. I am so glad that we did. There was so much to do and the kids really enjoyed it. In fact, I am thinking about buying a season pass so we can go back a few more times. There is so much to do and we didn't have much time this visit. The kids used an old printing press, panned for gold, had a pony and train ride, ate ice cream, and learned about pioneer school. All of that in just two hours! Grandma Ellen was with us and we all had a blast. Here are some pics!

This is the place cont..

Here are some more pics of the This is the place. We had so much fun and I am so glad grandma Ellen got to come with us. These were taken in the school house. The teacher there told us all about how the school was during pioneer days. The kids loved when Grandma got in trouble and had to wear the dunce hat! The other pics of Noah and Grandma were taken in front of these little houses they had. They were so cute! In one of them, the kids were able to put on a puppet show and play with some pioneer toys.

Busy Busy Busy!

As you can imagine, things are a little busy here with 5 little ones, so I don't get to post pictures as much as I would like. Andrew is doing so much better, so things are settling down a little. As some of you know Andrew was very jaundice, you can see it in the first picture. We almost had to be admitted to the hospital. Instead the doctor let me care for him at home in a bili bed with a special bili blanket. After a lot of prayers, and just two days, his bili count went way down and he was back to normal. He is now eating really well and learning to sleep better. The other kids are adjusting okay, Noah is taking it the hardest so we are making sure he feels really loved. Justin and I are tired, but very happy. Enjoy the pictures!

Andrew Doren

Andrew is here!! He arrived on Friday at 5:30pm. He weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and is 19.5 inches long. We are so happy to have him! He is healthy, I am great and we are both home. I will post the details soon, but in the meantime enjoy these pics!!

What Jos did during the graduation

Joslyn feels a little sad that she isn't in school yet, but she will start soon! She was a trooper and sat through both the girl's programs. But, she found creative ways to keep herself entertained. As you can tell from the pictures she crawled under the chairs, played with Taylor's roses, and put stickers all over my 9 month pregnant belly. She loves her big sisters so much and looks up to them!
