Wetland Family Hike

Recently we enjoyed a short visit from Grandma and Grandpa, along with Summer, Aurelia, and Wendy's family. We had everyone up for Sunday dinner and then went on a hike to our very own wetland near our house. I brought my camera for some fun family photos, but the lighting wasn't great. Wendy's family did great smiling into the sun, but no one else would hold still long enough.

Oliver is now 4

Finished Fort

Yesterday was a very productive day. I got our heater fixed, scheduled a bounce house for Oliver's birthday party, went to Ruthie's birthday party in Provo, and finished painting the fort. It is all done! We even painted some chairs to go in the fort. It turned out exactly how I wanted it.

And check out the other four new posts that follow this one.

It's a boy!

While we were at Grandma and Grandpa's farm, we got to watch and help birth a baby cow. Tipsy was having a little trouble having her baby, so we called Bubby and he came over and he and Dad pulled the cow out on contractions. I got the majority of it on video, just missed the very last part due to the pullers moving around and Oliver complaining how gross it was and that he wanted to take a nap. Given, it was a little gross, especially if you haven't had a baby of your own. But I thought it was cool. I'm just glad I have humans, not cows. They are big! The cow and baby ended up being fine and dandy in the end.

Quick Florida trip

We just made a quickie trip to Florida and had such a blast. We first went on the perfect trip to Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom with Joe and family. They sure know the right way to do Disney! 18 rides in 8 hours with a 5 hour break after the first 3 hours. We didn't wait longer than 15 minutes for any rides by using fast passes and the rain to our advantage. Sadly, my phone wouldn't take non-blurry pictures, but you can still see the happiness in their faces.

My high score on the Buzz Lightyear ride thanks to us stopping for a little bit during the ride.

Of course we also dropped by the beach for a bit, but the best was swimming for more hours than we could count in Sage's pool. Oliver is so close to being able to totally swim on his own. He was loving it and you can see the video of him in the next post.

Oliver is mostly swimming
