This is my sister Alyssa holding Kaitlyn. She has been a lifesaver for me, especially when Jackson gets jealous of me holding Kaitlyn. Alyssa will always come and grab Kaitlyn so that I can pay attention to my boy. Its been fun to spend more time with my cute sister!
We visited my grandma Payne when we first got here and took some pictures. I'm so glad we did, because three days later she had a series of strokes and is now in a rehab center. This lady just keeps fighting to stay on this earth. I hope I've inherited some of her strength! We love you Grandma!
I caught Jackson trying to pick Kaitlyn up.
He decided to get up on the couch so he could really get a good look at her...
...and then he tried to pick her up again! I'm afraid she is too big Jackson!
My friends Heather and Rachel stopped by to see us, as well as show off their newborn babies! Heather had a girl one and a half weeks earlier and also has a three year old (just barely) and a 22 month old! Rachel had her baby boy one week earlier and also has a two year old. I thought they were both pretty brave to come out so soon. And they looked so good too!
We took this picture of Heather's sweet baby next to Kaitlyn. They both weighed the same at birth and they were 5 weeks apart. Can you believe the difference? Kaitlyn looks huge. This week I weighed her (she is 7 weeks) and she was 11 pounds! My little baby is already growing up.
Jackson has LOVED blowing bubbles. He has pretty much emptied this huge container of bubbles!
When he blows them, he puts the wand right up to his mouth. I bet that tastes good!
I asked Jackson to smile and got this cheesy grin.
My Aunt Joyce and Uncle Clark showed up at my parent's one day with their motorcycles. Jackson immediately ran over to try them out! Doesn't he just look like a natural?
Uncle Josh is so much fun!
I'm glad to see that Jackson enjoys doing yard work! Hopefully he will always love it. He was helping my brother Josh edge the grass.
We went to Thanksgiving Point for "two dollar Tuesday" and it seemed like the rest of the state was there as well. Jackson and Aunt Cassidy had so much fun! This was a cool caterpillar slide.
We walked through the beautiful gardens full of bridges and flowers!
Jackson's favorite part was the Noah's Ark water area. I enjoyed it as well since it was such a hot day.
The best thing about having a daughter is, you get to have girls nights! I was painting my toes and decided to do Kaitlyn's as well. Those little toes are too cute.
We've also done a lot of swimming, but I don't have any pictures of that. Jackson is becoming a little fish! So, as you can see, we've been having lots of fun here in Utah. The next stop is Wisconsin to find a place to live while Jackson stays here with his grandparents.

Yay! so many fun pictures. We miss you already but it was fun to hang out with Jackson yesterday. That cutie has so much energy that it took all 8 of us to keep him out of touble!! :) Have a great week and we'll party next weekend!
I can't believe you got her to hold still enough to paint her toenails. I have been trying to paint Brooke's for months and it is a lost cause. Looks like you had fun in Utah!
I just love the photos of your son checking out your newborn. How sweet! Don't forget to look us up when you get to WI. I know Sean would like that.
WOW you've been having lots of fun! Your kiddos are so cute!
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. What type of strokes did she have? Yikes! I did speech therapy at a nursing home for stroke patients, and what I learned is that the severity all depends on location location location. (KInd of like real estate!) Anyway, I hope she's doing okay. Good thing you saw her when you did.
We're so excited your joining us again in WI! Good luck with your move. We'd love to visit you guys in Appleton, and if you ever want to visit Milwaukee we'd love to show you around.
When are you coming back to say good-bye? or did I already miss it? You can't move until I show you how to make those skirts.... I think I'm available next April

Oh, I want to paint a baby's toes! So cute! I can't believe she's getting big on you already! What a cute little girl!
