Catching Up

Got behind on our blog again so here are a mixture of pictures of the events that have happened the last 2 months.

Kory and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary and this is a picture we took that day to give to Kory so he could take us to work with him and look at us as he is working. Just a little sentimental gift.

We blessed our baby Kason the end of June.

After the blessing we had a family get together at our home to feed everyone before they made the long trip back home.

Got you Jared.

Eating after the blessing. Some of Kory's family came up from So. Utah and Salt Lake area. We were so happy they could make the long trip up and be with us on this special day.

Happy to be getting blessed by his daddy.

McKay turned 6 years old the end of June. We had a fun birthday party with all his friends. Here they are opening presents.

At the birthday party we had a kiddie pool for everyone to cool off in.

I attempted to make McKay's birthday cake. It actually turned out really well and was very yummy.

We also rented a jumphouse and slide for McKay's Birthday party. The kids had a lot of fun and it entertained everyone during the whole party. Easy on us parents except the setting up and taking down of the jumphouse. It was very heavy, ask Kory. He said "never again."

This jump house was huge and barely fit in our yard.

McKay graduated from Kindergarten the first part of June and is ready for 1st grade. Here he is saying goodbye to his kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Rojas.

Our cute little graduate. Getting so big.

Mother's Day and Pictures of the Family

McKay and Kory surprised me with a Mother's Day gift of new tupperware. I think the best thing about Mother's Day was that I was able to make a really nice dinner for my family for the first time after Kason was born. It felt good to be able to do that again.

Our baby is already growing up fast. He is starting to get chubby around his cheeks and arms. He looks a lot like McKay except the darker hair like Erica's. As you notice by the picture, he does have one of his eyes that the eyelid does not open as wide as the other. The pediatrician did not seem too concerned about it and said that he might grown out of it and we would just have to watch it over time. He is such a cutie anyway.

McKay and Erica love Kason! They are always concerned about him and want to be with him all the time. Erica will wake up in the morning asking where he is. She also gets very excited when he is awake and tries to comfort him when he cries and lets me know what is wrong with him when he is crying, usually she will say that he is hungry and I need to feed him right away.

Here are some pictures I found of the family when Grandma and Grandpa were helping us when we had Kason. I think McKay took a lot of the pictures.

Baby Kason Born

We had our 3rd baby April 30 at 12:52 a.m. His name is Kason Luke Hall (same initials as his dad). He was 6 pounds 15 ounces, 20 inches long, brown hair, very cute. Everything went well with the delivery. We are home now trying to get use to him and trying to sleep. The kids are adjusting pretty well. We are very glad to have Grandma and Grandpa Adams here to help us out. Here are some of the pictures we took of him.

McKay's Fun Run

Last Saturday McKay's school district had a fun run where the kids and whoever else wants to join in and they run a mile. McKay and his daddy ran and walked it and had a fun time. Here are some pictures of this fun event.

Easter and Sidewalks

This year for Easter we went to our association's Easter Egg Hunt at the park across our street. The kids had a lot of fun and got a pretty good amount of candy.

On Sunday (Easter), we had the kids gather eggs in our backyard for some more candy.

Even Kory gathered some and ate the candy inside.

On the day of the Easter Egg Hunt (Saturday), Kory and some of the Priest Quorum came over to help him pour some concrete for a new sidewall that attaches our back porch and wraps around the side of our house and hooks up to the front of our house. One of our many projects finally completed. Yea!!!!!

Working hard in the yard

Kory has been working hard lately with our yard. We are getting ready to put in a sidewalk on the side and back yard and a fountain in the front.

The hole where our fountain will be.

Kory rented a cool trailer to pick up road base and gravel and to get rid of some of the dirt we had piling up in our yard.

Kory and our home teacher went out with the trailer to get more rocks for our yard.
