Wyatt Leslie made his debut May 17th at 7:39pm.  He weighed in at 8lbs 14ozs and was 21 inches long (although at the Dr. 3 days later he was more like 20.5)  He is just a dream and we are so thrilled to have him in our Eternal Family.

Here is our Beautiful Family about 1.5 hours after Wyatt was born!

Getting ready to leave the hospital!

Sad day

We said good bye to Meg today. She started to not be able to breathe very well and her tongue and gums were turning blue. I rushed her to the vet where we decided it was best to put her to sleep. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I don't ever want to have to choose to take another living beings life again. Charlie was able to make it before hand too since it was about 4:30pm. She went quickly and peacefully, in our arms. That gives me some comfort. Knowing that she was wrapped in the arms of those she loved and who loved her helps me feel a little better. We brought her home and buried her in our yard. It will be another sad day if we ever have to move from this house and leave her behind. I never knew losing a dog would hurt so bad. What's worse is watching my kids hurt too.

Happiness is...

having a great Mom who loves and cares about you. Happy Mother's Day Mom! Love you Lots and Lots!

A Good Early Morning Laugh

This morning the Bishop picked us up at 5:50am for a trip to the Washington D.C. Temple. The Bishop teaches astronomy at Fairmont State University and he was talking about how he uses frozen nitrogen to launch his rocket for class. Dad mentioned that he had also used frozen nitrogen before. Here is the rest of the conversation...

Bishop: "What did you use frozen nitrogen for?"
Dad: "We used it to freeze semen."
Bishop: (turns his head to look at dad and says in an uncomfortable voice) "I don't think I want to hear about this."
Dad: (calmly replies) "On the farm we would freeze semen to use for in vitro fertilization."
Bishop: (with great relief in his voice) "Oh! I didn't even think about a farm when you said that"

That's right, Bishop Hansen thought dad was talking about freezing his own semen. Mom and I couldn't help but crack up. This was the funniest conversation I have heard in a long time.

Spring Break Fun!

We've been trying to do more fun, family things during spring break this year. Monday we went bowling (we forgot to take pictures) and had a blast! Today we went to a local frisbee golf course and had a blast too! We are really enjoying having extra time together. Although, our together time tomorrow is going to be mowing the lawn. I don't know that that will be quite as fun for the kids as some of the other things we've been doing. Oh well. Can't win them all.
