School Pics

We still have yet to get a good school picture of Levi, but here are what we're going to use for the other 3 this year. We'll still need to choose between the two of Emma as well.

What animal is this bush supposed to be??
The Kids loved these cement lizards. I Don't remember who, but one of them asked how to wake the Lizards up. It was pretty cute.

Red Butte Garden Nature Photos

Got these at Red Butte Garden the other day. I'll do another post with the family photos.
This was the coolest Idea that I saw there. It's a wroght Iron tunnel that kids can run through and there are vines growing on it - the kids had a blast running through the tunnels and it was so pretty!

Practice Shots

It's time again for school pics and since I don't want to pay for anything I can do myself and I haven't done any serious home-studio shots in a long time, I tried some practice shots. Maybe sometime I'll actually get to do some better portrait shots with better lighting, but for now these are probably worth sharing.

One Safe, Four to go

Yesterday was Erin's second Ultrasound in as many weeks. We went in last week to find out when she was due and were told that the baby didn't seem to have a heartbeat, which indicated a 95% chance that the pregnancy would fail. There was a slight chance that the baby was measuring bigger than its gestational age (6 weeks, one day) though, so they asked us to come in again a second time - which was yesterday. Still no heartbeat and no growth.

Erin's doc gave her some medicine and sent her home and she insists that she's doing fine. It's a been a rough week and especially rough the last 2 days, but we're doing well (all things considered).

We're not sure why Heavenly Father has given us this particular challenge, but we trust him that it's for the best and we'll just look at it this way: Someone just needed a body (or the start of one) and has since moved on - That's one child of five returned to heavenly father's care and presence. Now to just help train the other 4 so they can get back home when it's their time.
