Haircut!

Here is Landon's first official haircut! We have trimmed it ourselves a couple times, but it got to the point where he wouldn't let us anymore. He did really well at the salon, just sat looking bored with the whole thing. He had a sucker that he was trying to open the whole time, so that helped.

More videos

Here are a couple more videos.

First, Melanie saw me adjusting Brittany and insisted on having a turn. She really likes getting palpated, so any time we are in the basement, she makes sure to get about 5 turns on the table. If you listen closely, you can hear her whisper "yeah" when Brittany asks if she wants another turn. She has started whispering everything, we don't know why.

This was in our back yard. The older kids were rolling down the hill on these dump trucks. Melanie saw them and wanted a turn. It is a pretty bad quality (taken with phone) but she is a pretty brave little girl and she had a blast doing it.

Latest trip to Southern Utah

Picture of Faye, Devar, Carmen, Gary, Chris and of course, Kathy in Tropic, Devar's birthday. Picture of little Jacob. He is a keeper, and Reed, Jacob, and Logan. We had a great time visiting with those that we were able to see. Hope to see the rest of you soon. Oh, picture of little boy's skinny leg, adn one of Kelly and his new dog near Moab

Pants

Landon has discovered that he can take off his pants all by himself, and it turns out he just doesn't want to wear them anymore. I make him put them on to go out the front door, but otherwise......this is what we see all the time. As you can see, he is not ashamed of his half-naked self.

Quick video

Here is a quick video of Melanie at the motorcycle shop. She was really scared to get on the bike, but then once she was on it, she changed her mind. We have a tough time knowing if she wanted to stay on or not. You might need to turn it up to hear anything, and sorry about the quality since it was shot with my phone.

Blog Updates

Kevin wanted me to repost some of the things we've been doing, but I thought it would be easier to just remind you all that our blog is also updated weekly, so stop by whenever you want a peek into a no-kids-so-less-exciting-but-busy-nonetheless life. :)

Mahalo!

Last night our ward hosted a luau that was filled with authentic foods--we even tried poi for the first time. (YUK!) The decorations were amazing; the activities committee went all out, even painting this great backdrop for family pictures. That was, actually, the most amazing part of the night: Kevin actually agreed to a picture. :)

couple of pictures

Here are a couple new pictures, while we wait for pictures of Jacob. First, Melanie loves puddles. She finds the only puddle in the entire area and sits down right in the center of it.











Also, here is a picture of her trying on Brittany's sunglasses.

New Chamberlain baby

I asked Kelly when we would see a picture of Jacob and he said to tell everyone to pull out pictures of their kids when they were 3 days old and that's what he looks like. He did say that they would try to post a picture soon.

Pictures?

I am sure Brenda and Kelly are busy, so I was wondering if anybody else had seen any pictures of this new mancub? I am dying to see him!!

more flood pictures

Sorry to post more of the same, but I think it is pretty cool. These are pictures that I went out and took, and keep in mind that this is 2 days after the river crested.
This first one will mostly be impressive to Mark and Lori. This is the turnoff of of 61 to get to Credit Island. This is right at the turnoff, the entire island is underwater, you can't even get onto the road to get out to it. Pretty sweet.













Next is a random downtown shot. Keep in mind that the stop lights you see aren't the road that is closest to the river, that is one road into the downtown.










Here are a couple random shots. For the one with the car, that car is parked on the near side of the road, the people are using boats to go on the road now. And.... a random mailbox/house.
