Life Lately

My dad and brothers did a hiking trip in Bryce Canyon a couple weeks ago. They came back on Saturday evening and so we went up there to spend some time with them that night. 

I love when all the siblings can be together. It's always a little hard without Jen. But it was really great to see my brothers.

Rockwell and EJ did a standing long jump competition. Jonah said whoever won should get a dollar. Apparently Rockwell won, so EJ gave him a dollar. Rock was thrilled! Elijah said he would measure how far Rock had jumped. He's 6 foot, so he laid down to see if he had jumped longer than that. He did. :)

Paul took the kids home and put them to bed, while I stayed to visit more. We watched the Taylorsville Days firework show from the back porch. I put some patriotic music on and we all sang along as we watched. Not sure when we became a family that sings together, but it was a lot of fun. :)

Rockwell was helping Damon get off the trampoline that night and fell over backward, landing on Damon's foot. We weren't sure if it had broken or just sprained, but it was definitely hurting him to walk on it. Paul took him to Instacare the next morning, and luckily it was just a bad sprain. He crawled or had us carry him for a day, and then limped for a couple days, and then it was all better.

He was a champ getting x-rays and letting the dr look at his foot. He was thrilled to get a bouncy ball when it was all over.

I took a few pictures last Sunday since we were ready for church early. I sure love these kids!

We played at Al's house one day last week. The kids loved riding in Wyatt and Hallee's new car! And Damon loved taking Jackson for a walk around the block.

Damon switched to a big boy bed and has done great staying in bed all night. He looks so darn cute in his little bed!
