Happy Memorial Day!

Nate's Been Busy

Hello again. This is me on top of the bluff behind my apartment. This was especially difficult given I recently lost my left hand in a nasty paper cut accident. I'm not sure what happend in this picture but seriously it was a difficult hike.

I've been busy with some new endeavors. The most intertaining of which is this new acquisition.

It's a 1982 Kawasaki KZ440-D. It's 440 cc's which is not much but enough to take me anywhere I want to go. The best part was the price. $200.00. Not bad considering it's only $100.00 if he cannot find the key. In the mean I
took out the ignition and drive it without a key.

It only needed a few minor repairs and was otherwise ready to drive. I'm so excited about it I can hardly see straight. Gavin and I went to get bike permits and I've also got it registered, licensed, and insured so we're legal. My plan is to drive it to work and back everyday. This should save quite a bit in gas. I'm getting lots of experience driving it as well. In fact, yesterday I hit a bat while riding. There were loads of them flying around and one wasn't using his radar becasue he flew right into my head. Gavin and I laughed over that one for long time.

Lydia's Getting Sooo Big!

Lydia is getting sooo big! She refuses to lay down in her swing. She insists on sitting up like a big girl...

She is playing with her big girl toys. Although it is getting difficult to explain to her that she can't put that entire toy in her mouth...

She's so precious! Thanks to Uncle Chris and Aunt Carrie for the adorable outfit. She can even sit up and pose for her picture...

And last but not least, she has officially grown out of the newborn tub and can now take a bath with her sisters in her bath seat.

We Are Artists

So when Emma graduated preschool we had a LOT of time on our hands so we decided to put them to good use. Grandma Cranney had sent the girls some wood toys that needed to be painted (like a year ago --- sorry, pregnancy prevented me from doing more then just what was absolutely necessary for survival). We painted them and the girls had so much fun.

We weren't done! The girls have been earning stickers for doing things around the house and when they earn so many they get to go to the dollar store. Well we found some plaques at the dollar store and all the paint that we needed and they made themselves name plates for their room.

Here is a little video.

Nate's bit

This is my first blog experience. I just wanted to give a shout out to all those that may be viewing our blog. I will be traveling to Salt Lake on business Thursday May 8th. I'll be at the Cranney's home from that afternoon into the evening until about 6:30 pm. All is well here. Today was a hair coloring extravanganza. Suzy dyed her hair hot pink. Ok it was brown but nextime it will be hot pink. It looks great. She is really excited about it. Somehow I was tricked into getting my hair dyed as well. Hot pink just isn't my color so I went with the same color I have now. It all seems to be one color now. Unfortunately it didn't do anything for the bald spots but otherwise it looks pretty good. This is all for now. Stay tuned for weekly updates at the most.

We Got a New Camera!!

Grandpa Z took us on this trail right outside Snow Canyon to find desert torteses (sorry I don't know how to spell them). We didn't see any, and it was an exceptionally windy day but it was nice to get out in the sunshine.
















Here you can see little Lydia has decided she likes to suck her thumb. She will even take her binky out of her mouth and play with her thumb. This was also her first time in the pool.






























I got my birthday present 6 weeks early! Nathan got me a new camera. So in honor of this occasion, here are some new pictures. Also, this new camera takes video with sound. Happy Day!! We hope all is well with you!















Emma sang this song as part of her preschool graduation.

Lila needed to get in on the action so here she is singing "I am a Child of God".

Here is Emma and Lila making Lydia laugh. I am so jealous, but they are the only ones who can do it :)
