Mii Family

I know these pictures are horrible, but I just love our Miis! Making someone a Mii is my favorite part about the Wii.

We tried making one for Brigg, but it's too hard to make one that actually looks like a baby. His will have to wait.

More summer fun!

Grandpa Andersen took Sam and Luke fishing in a stocked pond near our house that is free for kids. Sam caught 2 fish and they all had a good time.

Here are the boys playing in a slip 'n slide with our neighbor. Luke just kept drinking the water.

For the fourth we went to a really fun party at another neighbor's house. The kids decorated their bikes and wagons and did a sidewalk parade.

Sarah and her kids came up to visit us while they were in Utah. We LOVED having them visit! Sammy has been totally bummed ever since they left. He loves having his cousins to play with.
We went to Bear Lake for a day trip to play on the beach. A little windy, but really fun!

Here are some cute ones with Brigg.

Kendall's most exciting news is... after months of deliberation, we finally decided to get a Wii!

Thanks, Fam!

That's right...that is a smile! Brigg knows he's got the best family in the world.

We had so many people come visit us in the hospital and help us out...

Thanks, Mom, for waking up in the middle of the night to come up for Brigg's birth (sorry he didn't wait for you). Even more, thanks for taking care of Sammy and Luke while we were at the hospital. And thank you for doing laundry, sweeiping and mopping my floor and all the other misc. cleaning items as well as making meals and stocking up my kitchen with some fast-fixin meals. You're the best!! I wish you could stay at my house all the time.

It was so fun to visit with my Grandpa and Grandma Porter when they came to the hospital. I can't think of a big event in my life that they haven't been to and I feel so lucky to have them supporting me.

And we got a cute picture of them holding Brigg...

The same goes for Kendall's grandma. There's not a nicer person in the world and we know she'd do anything for us.

Thank you, Janice (and Steve) for coming to our house in the middle of the night so that we could head off to the hospital. Thanks for the meals and gifts and for loving our boys so much.

Somehow I didn't get pictures with grandpas, but Kendall's dad came up and brought Kendall some dinner which was nice. He wouldn't have missed the opportunity to come up and support us and meet the new baby.

My dad and Abby drove 2+ hours on Monday night to meet Brigg (and then turned right back around and drove 2+ hours back). It was way too short a visit for how long they had to drive, but it means a lot to me that they would take so much of their time just to come up and see us. Thanks, Dad! (and Abby)

And here's another one of our littlest guy. He didn't want to be put down for the first 5 or 6 days of his life which had me feeling a little stressed, because you can't get much of anything else done when you have to hold a baby all the time. But, he's seemed to snap out of that and does fine on his own for short periods. He's started to extend the time between feedings a bit which I am also grateful for. Every 1 1/2 - 2 hours gets old pretty fast. He's still sleeping quite a bit, but I love it when he's awake and looking around. Overall, he is a pretty content baby and already growing too fast.
