That's my boy!!!

Watch out mr. phelps!

Lots of firsts for Mac

Mac continues to amaze us. He is the best baby ever. He has had lots of firsts the last couple of weeks. Like first time in the saucer.

First time holding his head up long enough for me to find the camera and take a picture.
First sunglasses (Thanks Evan and Miss Michelle)
First time making cookies (everyone should be happy this is with Mark instead of me)
first time at the swimming pool
First time with cereal- kinda looks like a deer in head lights
and first flip flops.
Everyone should have a baby like Mac-ers :)

jensy poo we love you


We often get lost in translation with Jens. She is not saying the first consonants of words. Like Phishy and Maissie sound the exact same- ee-ee. So to distinguish she says Phishy boy and Maissie Mouse. Our neighbor who watches them sometimes is named Genivieve, but Jens says en-beep. Some of the other funny things she says is:
don't see me- which means stop looking at me
I do it- for I did it or I'll do it
me did it
agu- for august which is when her bday is
mamoo for Amooh
And she calls Sam Sammy- which I love, and that is funny because we dont really call him that anymore.

ranch time!

We spent the weekend at the ranch. It was a quick trip but we had a great time.

This is our documentation of a walk we took. We found lots of fun things,

like a dead frog

dead snake
and a live toad.

We love hanging out with Grandpa Hersch

Mac is 3 months!!

This baby is so sweet. We just can not get enough of him!!

Three months vs. one week
Maissie is great with him, and can almost always make him smile.

And THAT is what friends are for

When we go to Utah one of the best and our favorite place to stop is the Malmgrens. They are super cool people and we always have a good time with them. AND it seems like we always come away with great stuff. This time was super sweet. Lis made this hat-Yeah, it might look like he is unhappy, but it is just because he has yet to realize how awesome his hat is. Did I mention Lis made that? AND she made this adorable sweater.
It almost makes me want to live where it is cold so he can wear it more, and longer. :) You can check out what else she makes at http://www.etsy.com/shop/visualanarchy.

Mike even tried to give us the dog. Jensyn would have totally taken him, but, you know, we had to draw the line somewhere.
The funny thing about us and the Malmgrens is we are on opposite ends of the height chart. This is Maddy, who is 10 and Maissie who is 5.

Super Lemons!!!

Auntie Em made some super cool super hero costumes for Ben's (Em's little boy) birthday. We missed the party, but she still made some costumes for us. The girls thought they were the best thing ever. They even wore the costumes at the lunch after the funeral.








Temple Square

Sunday (5/2/10)before we came home from SLC we walked over to Temple Square.
Spring flowers are almost as awesome as the Christmas lights at Temple Square. The Flowers are beautiful.

I love the tulips

Grandma and Grandpa Lemon were nice to come with us. They were so much help all weekend. I am really lucky to have them. And of course the girls could not get enough of them.


This is what happens when you ask a stranger to take your picture- Maissie is standing there, but didn't quite make it in the picture

Mac was really good
The trees were in full bloom- very pretty. We kept singing the pop corn song.

Great Grandma Kathryn's Funeral

We had the "grave side service" for my Grandma on May 1st. She didn't want a funeral so we just had a very short program. It was nice to see all the people that came (esp because it was so cold).



That night after the service we celebrated Clark's birthday (I know, what a way to spend your birthday) We walked to a restaurant called Lambs. It had been raining ALL DAY, and there were lots of puddles. On the walk back to the hotel the girls were walking with Clark, and Jens splashed in a huge puddle that Clark was trying to jump over. She got Clark's leg really wet, and laughed harder than I have ever heard her laugh. She must have laughed for at least 2 city blocks.
