Congrats, Alia! He is a beautiful baby boy. The little guy was breach, so he had to be sectioned a couple of weeks before the due date. Both mother and her little miracle baby are doing fine.

6 is a crowd
Last week for about 3 days I was learning what it is like to be a mother of 6. My very brave big sister had her baby, so I came down to watch her kids and brought my monsters along. To tell you honestly, I am not a very good mother. I lost Ragan (Alia's 18 mo old)a couple of times and Max ended up with a big goose egg on his forehead and a laceration above his right eye that Aaron had to fix once we got home. Thank goodness for our personal ER doc, I am sure he will save us a lot of money while the kids are growing up.

Vernal's Freemont Petroglyphs
Grandpa "B" recently came to see us! He stayed the whole weekend and we had a great time! We totally wrecked his diet. We went on a hike and saw the petroglyphs in Dry Fork Canyon and drove all over town looking for a new home. Well, we finally found one and it is cool! Next time you come Grandpa, we'll have our own petroglyphs in our backyard, and maybe there will be a little less hiking involved.

Dinosaur Land
Alia came for a visit with Dale and Regan. We took them for a tour of Vernal, and of course we had to go to the Dinosaur museum.
Belated Easter
Sorry, we haven't posted anything for awhile. So let's catch up:
For Easter we had our Grandma and a strange looking, pink eared attack bunny come for a visit. Needless to say, kids loved all the candy.

Fun With Our Cousins
In the last two months we have had some good times with our cousins. Brig, Calvin and Ava all joined in a high fashion photo shoot at grandmas. Matching shirts compliments of the KKK.
Brigham says: "gimme some sugar baby!"
Ava's shirt reads "if you can read this the bitch fell off"
Ava and Calvin have excellent table manners.
Calvin had such a good time, he was ready to shoot himself.

Our Life in Vernal
Still alive and surprisingly enough, no kids harmed (other than emotionally). We finally had the internet installed so we are back in the digital age again and our life is finally slowing down a bit.
Most smart people try to do major stressors one at a time, like move, have a baby, and start a new job. Not us, we thought that the “band-aid ripping” effect would be more fun, so we did them at the same time. Now that we are all moved in and settled we can relax a bit and enjoy life.
So far we are liking Vernal very much. It has been somewhat of an adjustment since it is about 20 degrees cooler here than in AZ, but no one has frozen yet.
Our house is beautiful and huge. I get a lot of exercise going up and down the stairs and from one side to the other of the house chasing the kids.
We went to our cousin’s, Felicia wedding last month. Max and Sophia contributed to our preparations to leave by flooding the upstairs bathroom and smearing poop all over the toy room carpet all in the 15 minutes before we were supposed to leave. The house survived but the kids and their parents have some deep emotional scars. Afterwards Sophia stated that she and Max were not in trouble for their misdeeds, she said “ NO DAD we are not in trouble: we’re kids and we’re funny!” We couldn’t argue with that but the duration of those funny kids lives might be significantly shortened if they continue to be that funny.
I am sitting at the computer and holding my baby boy in my arms. It is a very warm thing to do. This is about the only time when he gives any snuggling at all. When he is awake he is straight as a board and has a will of his own. Cuddling Jacob is like cuddling a 2x4. He started to smile recently (mostly associated with various gastrointestinal phenomena) but we love every second of it. Max and Sophia love their baby brother. Max is very soft and gentle with him and tries to be helpful to his mom. Sophia tries to be helpful too mostly by smothering Jake in her very tight grip and intermittently testing his eyes for durability. For those of you who did not receive our baby announcement or those who did not believe their eyes, our Jake’s middle name is Danger and we have the birth certificate to prove it.
I had to post this picture, cause I think it's so cool! Aaron is really good!
