Fun Weekend Away

Just over a week ago, we took our first real family vacation this year and went to Atlanta. Trent needed to attend the youth temple trip, so we decided to make a weekend of it. We left early on Friday and surprised the kids and went to the Georgia Aquarium. They were so excited when we got there! All of the kids (including Trent and I) were just amazed with all of the things they had at the aquarium. After we went to the aquarium we met up with some of our friends and went to dinner and then to a hotel for the night.
The next morning we were able to go to the temple and do a session together while our friends watched the kids for us...thank you Mitchells :) It was a great weekend and we just wanted to share a few pictures with everyone.

Two of a Kind

This morning we were making Valentine's Day cookies and making cards for Trent. We made a bunch of cookies and decided that it would be a great idea to bring them to Trent's work to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. Well by the time we got everything ready to go, we had to race out the door to make it before everyone would be leaving from work. As I tried to keep everything together, I gave special instructions to the girls..."go potty, get shoes on, get in the van". Which I repeated over and over again until miraculously we all managed to get into the van. Jenika climbed in first and was buckled up in a flash. I put Isaac in while Harmony was climbing into the van. I asked her if she had followed my instructions to which she replied, "yes." I looked at her pink Sunday shoe as she climbed into the van and figured, although it doesn't match her blue dress at least we will make it to give out cookies in time. Then I buckled her up. So we arrived just in time and my wonderful husband came to help me unload the kids and cookies. That is when he asked Harmony where her other pink shoe was. Then he asked me. I assumed she had taken it off while we drove over so I asked if he had looked on the floor. That is when he got a little more specific and asked me if I had a match to either her pink Sunday shoe or her pink flip flop...she was wearing one of each. It was so funny because I had not even noticed until Trent had asked me about it. So we got to walk all around the campus to wish Happy Valentine's Day and we also gave everyone a good laugh.

Oh, BOY!!!

I know this will come as a total shock to everyone...2 updates in less than 30 days, but this update was just too good to pass up. As you are all aware we have 2 girls and 1 boy. Many people have asked us if we have noticed a difference between boys and girls to which we have replied, "YES!". Well another difference manifested itself today when we took Isaac to the doctors to have his arm looked at after climbing up on the computer chair and falling off. It happened late afternoon on Wednesday and ever since then he has been really careful with his left arm, so we decided that we better have it looked at. Well the doctor was super nice and even before the x-ray predicted that Isaac had a buckle fracture near his wrist. So after the x-ray, the doctor showed me the results.....drum roll please.....not just one but two bones had been fractured. Yes there is a difference between boys and girls, something about the fact that he is not even one yet and he is sporting a blue cast on his left arm that reminds me every time I look at him. ;)
