baby news and updates

Family Update:

Lane is starting a new project next week, building a bank in Show Low. Hartley and her girls are doing great. Evve is growing so fast, I'm glad I get to see her so often. Halle seems like such a big girl now that she has a little sister. Jason is super busy with lots of fireplace installs. Hillary is due to have her little guy next Wednesday. I am going to fly to Henderson and stay with them for a couple of weeks. We are all so excited. I bet he is going to be a cutie! Emma and Brennik just celebrated their 1 year anniversary. They went to Las Vegas and stopped by to see Hill and Tyler. I'm sure we will be adding baby pictures soon.

Fall

Fall is here. We had our first freeze a few nights ago, which means our gardening days are over for awhile. We had a huge garden this year, it produced way too much, we were able to share with all of our neighbors and friends and anyone that was willing to take some of it off our hands. I have a great neighbor that came over and taught me how to can (bottle) pickles. Hartley and I also learned how to can chicken. We have this awesome lady in our ward that lets us know about great deals so we are having fun learning how to preserve and store food. My mom came to visit after Evve was born and she has been teaching me how to quilt. I am a little behind on learning all those basics but I am catching up fast.
Brief Family update:
Hartley and new baby Evve are doing great. She is growing so fast. Halle seems to be adjusting to being a big sister, whenever I take her shopping she wants to buy stuff (toys) for Evve too. Jason is still working and seems to enjoy it, which is great.
Hillary and Tyler are anxiously waiting for their little guy to arrive, just a few more weeks. Hillary is just so cute with her little baby-bump.
Emma and Brennik are about to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. wow. Brennik recently got a promotion and he will have more Saturdays free to come visit his awesome in-laws.
Guess that's it for now.
Have a great Fall.

updates

Happy Summer Everyone.
Just a short update:
Hartley is due to have girl #2 anyday. Jason is enjoying his job and Halle is about to start preschool. Hillary and baby boy #1 are doing great, due Nov. 3rd. Tyler is doing well at his job. Emma is enjoying married life and Brennik is busy with work and school. Lane is working again, at least for a short time. They have him doing a job in Flagstaff. I am keeping things going at home, mainly our HUGE garden. People are beginninjg to avoid me, afraid I will give them some zucchini, I guess. Overall everyone is doing fine.

camping June 2009

Camping Fun

We have a new family activity: camping for Father's Day (for anyone that can make it). We went to Greens Peak this year. Everyone seemed to have a great time. The guys got into a serious game of horseshoes. We had lots of yummy food, and it felt good to relax and escape from the world for a few days.
Next year we will check out a new location to explore and enjoy. Maybe near Flagstaff; which would be a little closer for Hillary and Tyler. It was a long drive for them to come this year. But it was sure fun!

BABY UPDATE

It's official! The expectant mommies have announced what they are having. Hartley is having a girl, due date August 18th, and Hillary is having a boy, due date Nov. 3rd. We are very excited to get two new grandbabies. Good luck little mommies. Let us know if we can do anything to help.

Today is Halle's 4th birthday; Happy Birthday Halle!
You will be a great big sister!
