cabin in june

In June we got a new hammock for the cabin.  The kids spend ALL of their time in it.  It is their favorite thing.  Old and Rob will listen to a book on tape and lay in the hammock all day.  It's so cute to see all those boys stuffed in.  We took Jack with us this time to the cabin.  It always makes it funner to have a friend their with us.

Aspen Fun Run

The school had a fun run fundraiser this month and we all went to run a mile (I am way too out of shape to do the 5k).  It was a fun day.  I ran 1/2 mile with the two babies and Cort and then waited for the other kids to come across the finish line.   Jack did the 5k and I was proud to see him finish too. 

 Run Cort run. hahaa 

Afterwards Cortney and I checked Oliver out of school let him watch the sleeping babies and went out for a little Thai food with Cort.  It was raining like crazy and freezing cold and it was fun and so cozy to go for some spicy curry with my love.  Totally worth having Oli miss the last couple of house of school. 

Refinishing the deck

The deck here at our house was in HORRIBLE condition when we moved in.  We decided to finally take care of it. 

 Look how bad it was!! The kids would get so many slivers. 

 It took me 5 days.  Cali helped some and Cortney helped some too.  It was really really hard!

The stairs had NEVER been stained. 

The finished product (we still have another coat to do! arghhhh)

Easter visit with grandma and Grandpa

Bob and Roberta came for an overnight visit.  The kids had the time of their lives having someone here sleeping.  It was a great time.  In the morning Grandma and Grandpa hid some eggs for the kids to find. 

Henry took this picture of Bob.  Hahaa. 

Easter Sunday we went to eat at Cameron's house.  He made a delicious dinner and then Leah hid a million eggs for the kids to find.  The kids thought it was awesome. They had the best easter...usually I don't do an easter egg hunt and this year they had 2. 

Henry gets stitches

Tonight as we sat down to dinner Henry came running down the hall full speed. He tripped on a backpack and went flying head first into the wall. Cort went running and then said "ash quick I need you.". My heart stopped... I hate hearing that. I grabbed a rag because there was a lot of blood running down Henry's face. We jumped right in the car and headed across the street to the instacare. His cut went all the way to the skull and the doctor was really pulling it open. Yikes. He had to get 13 stitches. 6 or 7 were on the inside. Poor baby. He was so brave. He held so still. On our way out we say Jason and KaeLynn there with Eliza! Small world.

family pictures

Soooooo I haven't blogged in forever.  I am going going to recommit to this old thing but in the meantime I thought i would post some pictures from our family photo shoot.  Cortney was on DEATH'S DOOR the day we took these.  So we literally took like 8 shots.  Better than nothing.
