Alex is supposed to be having tummy time...

Parma, the Zoo and cousins

We have been married 5 years!

August 13, 2004 is when it all began..maybe I'll work on getting a picture posted of us then...

I can't believe how fast the time has gone! It is crazy! We've had so much fun in those five years and it's great to have school behind us and two great boys added to our family.

Here is a picture of us from this past weekend. We went to Provo for an Academy of LDS Dentists meeting at BYU. The dentists get some CE taken care of and the wives get to go to some fun/spiritual classes during the same time. PLUS, we got all sorts of yummy BYU catering food, as well as all the Chocolate milk and even some ice cream from the BYU creamery. Well worth the trip! :) We took Alex with us and although he was pretty darn good during the day, he had a couple bad random nights while we were there. It was a fun little weekend trip to take on our Anniversary. We went and saw Music and the Spoken Word Sunday morning before we flew back to Spokane.

For all you dental wives out there...it really is a great program they put on, check out this year's program here. Maybe we'll see you there next year!

Cute brothers!

Playing on the Lake

Nathan and Grandma Sally...they're supposed to be driving the boat...


Alex in his little bed on board.

Nathan held on to the handles so well on the raft that the kids were playing on. He loved to kick his feet in the water.


With Grandma Sally, and cousins Jocelyn, Ammon, and Emma.

With Daddy and Uncle Adam.

Going to the "Beach"

Nathan loves to play in the sand (even though it is a bit rocky!) And, sad for me I still can't go swimming until after the OB doc clears me...My appt is August 11th, it won't be here soon enough!


Somebody got this cute little swimsuit for Alex...newborn size and I wondered if he'd ever wear it. Well, he won't wear it to go swimming, but it's a perfect outfit for a hot day at the beach in Coeur d'Alene. :)

Alex's blessing day

Yep, we blessed him already! John's brother was in town for the holiday weekend and so we took advantage of them being here, along with my family being here and blessed Alex. It was a bit interesting staying up late for fireworks and then being at church by 8:30...along with getting up to feed Alex in the middle of the night. Oh well, it was good and now I won't be going back to church for a few weeks! :)
