Hummingbird Nest and Broken Arm




Some people from Alex's work had a little get together down in Sanpete County. The highlights from this outing were the hummingbird nest we found which is pretty remarkable. Alex first spotted the tiny nest with tiny little eggs in it about the size of jelly belly's. The nest itself was not more than two inches wide total. When we went back to get a picture of it the mother hummingbird was just sitting in it as still as could be. Sage snapped this picture of it and I must say she did get an excellent shot of it. She is quite the little wildlife photographer.



While we were there Alexa had a slip and fall on the slippery rocks in the river and broke her arm. While not the first broken bone of the summer (Noah broke his toe on 6/22) it is the first cast in our family. These pictures were taken about 3 days later. That is our good friend Ana wrapping the cast, she is a PA at our Pediatrician's office.






Thanks Ana!!!

Family Pics

Ok, let's not mention that I haven't posted in like 7 months. We recently had our family pictures taken and I am really excited to post them Here is my favorite of all of us.


It is such a relief for me to finally do this. We have never had any professional pics taken of our whole family. And the photographer was so great to work with. He just worked around the kids and instead of having to order prints through him he just gave me a disc with all the pictures on it and in several different finishes. Here is his website if anyone is interested, pextonphotography.com

This week I am going to Youth Conference, it has been a little bit on the stressful side to plan and get ready. Even though Alex is going to be home with the kids while I am gone I still feel like there is so much to get ready for them before I leave. You know, like laundry and planned meals. And that is on top of everything for Youth Conference itself. I am planning to decorate my blog with more of the pics we got so stay tuned, but don't hold your breath I havn't been that consistent with keeping up this page.
Anyway I am going
