Sister photo shoot

We decided to do a photo shoot with the girls. I love Lynneah's first picture...her face says it all. Mikayla however, loved it!!

Football season had begun

Okay, so I know it began a while ago, but I'm finally posting these pictures. I love to watch Merrill watching football. He's figured out a way to watch two games at once!! What could be better than that for any football fan?!? He has the TV going and his labtop. I sure love you honey, enjoy all your games!!

Tender Mercies

Here are Lynneah and Nano, just exhausted after our hospital stay. Nano gave us a bit of a scare a few weeks ago. Merrill was out of town and he decided to get sick on me!! Poor kid. But I am so thankful for all the ward members help. They came and took care of my other two kids so I could take the my two little ones in. Thank goodness Nano got a blessing and the doctors were able to get his breathing under control. He's had to attack's since then but other than that seems to be doing just fine. And Lynneah was a little angel in the hospital. For being only four weeks old she'd never gone more than 2 hours for feeding and she went 4 hours, which was all the time we needed to get Nano in the ER and taken care of. What a tender mercy. They both were little angel's in the hospital and again THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED WITH TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS AND MEALS AND CALLS TO CHECK IN ON US AND WHO CAME TO THE HOSPITAL TO HELP MY SANITY.

THE YOGA BALL-FUN FOR ALL

So this is what we bought the yoga ball for. Lynneah is a bouncer. We had a yoga ball in the delivery room and from that first day Lynneah loved it. So a yoga ball of our own was our first "big" purchase after her birth! Oh and by the way, Mikayla actually took this photo - she did a great job, huh!



As you will see in the next few pictures...the ball is now a favorite of everyone's and it is always in use.

I think Merrill was actually the first to show the kids how much fun they could have on the ball, obviously Nano loved that!



























Then Nano discovered he can climb up behind Merrill and I while we are bouncing Lynneah and give her a real ride! You can't really tell from the picture but Merrill is holding Lynneah in his arms. Sometimes she likes this little "ride" from Nano - and other times she immediately let's her wishes for soft bouncing be known!







Mikayla also enjoys the ball. Here she's practicing her balancing and posing skills.


























And this is what the ball is mostly used for. My kids love the show "WIPEOUT" and they love to go flying off our yoga ball as if it's one of the "Big Balls" from the show!!
