Anyway.
Leaving off from my last update...we had a lot more visits and first meetings and so on and so forth.
Isabelle has several little baby friends that were born within a month of her. This is Kaleb, my friend Jenny Chamberlain's baby boy. He was born 10 days before Isabelle and was 9 lbs.10 oz. and by this point was 11 POUNDS at approx. 3 1/2 weeks old. I am glad that I have dainty babies.
This is Morgan "Rex", my friend Alane Jones' baby, who was born 2 1/2 weeks before Isabelle. He was 6 lbs. 11 oz at birth, and I'm not sure how big he was in this photo at 6 weeks old. I grew up across the street from the Joneses and this was a big surprise for them. They have a son, Tanner, on a mission and three girls (the youngest of whom is 10-12ish). Cute little caboose!
This is our friend Jeff and Lindsey Ure's baby Amelia (they work with Mark) and she was born 2 1/2 weeks after Isabelle. She was 9 lbs. at birth. I just don't know how I would have survived delivering a big baby like that!
We went down to LaVerkin for my dad's birthday on May 29th.
We met in my parent's new house, which they have been building for over a year (and isn't quite done yet).
This little pumpkin gets held all the time. Alllll the time. (I'm having to type this with one hand because I'm holding her right now.)
My Aunt Nanette and Uncle David Nelson came to visit from Denver on their way to see my G-ma in California. Nanette has had two major surgeries this year for breast cancer. I was so glad to see her looking as good as she did.
Uncle David is a great baby snuggler!
Maria came over with her kids, too.
Luke and Emery have become such good little buddies. (Luke calls her "Emeria", combining her name with her mom's.)
They crack me up!! Always riding bikes, or playing with trains, or singing song from Frozen. So glad that they are our neighbors now.
On June 8th, my sister Megan came down to open her mission call! It was her first time meeting Isabelle (3 1/2 weeks old).
All sorts of people came to watch (that is Dorothy Bone and Kristan Stewart, old family friends) and it was quite the ballyhoo. Kristan was Meg's best friend growing up, and she is also about to serve a mission in Peru.
Eeeek, what an exciting moment!! She lives up in Orem, (3-4 hours away) but had the call sent to my parent's house. It arrived on a Thursday but she waited till Sunday to open it so her friends and family could be there.
She got called to the Mexico, Saltillo mission and will leave in October! She really wanted to speak Spanish, so she was very happy. I can't believe she's going. That means I'm getting old.
Her best friend Veronica...they have been two peas in a pod for a lot of years.

This is Steve Jones (whose baby Rex I showed above) and he's an art teacher. He made a beautiful drawing of Megan. He drew me a long time ago, too.
Sisters!!
Then we had to get home, because TIGER CAME BACK! He was gone for two weeks, the turkey!! He finally showed back up at his old owner's again. Madelyn had been putting on a brave face, but when she heard that he was back, she burst into tears. I'd given up on him, honestly. He was sort of beat up around the ears again and skinny and bedraggled, but otherwise okay. That's the last time we let him be outside past dark!
Sunday lounging after we got home. (Look at Madelyn, LOL.)
Tiger is enjoying being a spoiled house cat again.
Isabelle's first bedtime story. Madelyn is such a good big sister! I don't know what I'd do without her!
She is even an enthusiastic diaper changer. It is so awesome.
Last week the kids went to their cousins Nathan and Ava's to swim in their pool.
Summer fun! It was 108° down in St. George that day. Yuck.
Luke's typical day...
*asleep*
I could make a coffee table book just of pictures of my kids asleep in weird places.
Mark took the kids fishing up Cedar Mountain and he and Madelyn caught one trout a piece, and Luke caught six! They threw them all back.
One of her favorite faces to make.
Time flies when you're having fun!
