The Gang's All Here

I never imagined that I would be the mom of five wonderful, smart, precious (and often precocious) children. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to raise these sweet spirits. Some days are harder than others, but the smiles, laughter, and making memories keep us going.

At the Fishin' Hole

Aaron took the boys on an overnight fishing trip while the girls stayed home and had a game night. They went to Haigler Creek, just past Christopher Creek. It was the first time they had been to this spot (it was recommended by a friend). They had a great time and we might try to plan another trip to this spot.



This little fishing spot turned out to be quite plentiful with fish. The boys brought sixteen fish home! They had also caught about six more that got away.




After they finished fishing they headed to the rocks for some swimming. The water wasn't very deep, but they had fun getting wet.





Dallin seems to find himself a pet every time we visit the creek. He tricked us all when he got home and told us it was in his treasure box. Luckily Aaron made sure he left it where he found it!

Jenna Lyn is Here!

On our way into the hospital to meet our baby girl!


Jenna Lyn Pratt
Born on July 6 at 12:57pm, 8 lbs. 13 oz., 20 1/2 inches


The very excited oldest brother. Parker had to make sure he was the first sibling to hold Jenna.


Sophie loves her little sister.


McKay held her once and that was enough for him. He hasn't held her since.


I am so blessed to have two little girls. I hope they become best of friends.


Jenna, 1 day old

Fun Pics

These are some pictures we took at the beginning of August.

Dallin and his stuffed animal family. It surprises me how often the boys pull out the stuffed animals and play with them. Dallin has his favorites though. He made the black bear at Build a Bear, bought the dragon at the Natural History Museum, he loves the stuffed cat (and would love a real cat too) and somehow the bunny made it into the family. He doesn't usually play with the bunny.


The kids love pulling the cushions off the couches to make a swimming pool. I think they were "swimming" when I snapped this picture. I love Sophie's smile.


Parker always asks for a mohawk! This one lasted about two minutes and then it was gone!


Parker's B-Day

July 31, 2010

Parker had a low key birthday this year. Aaron was out of town and we had just gotten back from our road trip. We spent the evening over at Heather's house. Parker opened a couple presents and the kids played. He had fun with his first ever cap gun while it lasted. Happy 9th birthday Parker!
