Over the weekend we went to Gilbert to visit Mahlon's family. We had a baby shower for his sister Mandy, unfortunately she wasn't able to make it from California due to high blood pressure so we had a virtual baby shower with her on the web cam! We had fun swimming, and I finally tried the famous Guitar Hero! I was actually pretty good at it (if I do say so myself!) It was a fun weekend, but we missed Mandy and her husband Vic!
Bathtime at Grandmas!
Swimming in Grandma Newton's pool!
Welcome to the world Jaxon!
Monday Mandy was admitted into the hospital (high blood pressure) and went into labor. Her little man Jaxon Alexander Welsh was born Tuesday, April 29 weighing 4 lb. 6oz, 18 inches long. We are so excited to have a new little cousin/nephew. We're praying for mom and baby to recover quickly so that they can go home and be together! Congratulations Mandy and Vic!
Wednesday I took the kido's to the Zoo with some sisters in my new ward as a "play date", I brought the camera, but it never came out to take pictures. It's hard to push a stroller with one little one riding, while carring another in a front pack and take pictures! But they loved looking at the animals! At first they didn't know why we were staring through a fence at trees and they would both be distracted looking at the other kids, then they would suddenly notice the animal (the ones that were moving) and Madison would point and sqweal. Jacob would look back at me from the stroller with this wide eyed look that said "did you see that? Whoa!" It was too cute. They especially loved the giraffes, peacocks and the ostrich. Afterwards, we had a picnic at the park next to the zoo, most of the other women were too tired so they went home but I had packed a lunch so we were going to have a picnic. This sounded like a good idea, but I quickly realised that trying to feed two unrestrained toddlers, while trying to keep abnoxiously friendly ducks away is next to impossible, so again, the camera didn't come out! It was a whilwind of a day and we all three took a nap when we got home, but it was fun to get out and have some fun for a change!
Anyway, that's pretty much what we've been up to lately! I'll try to get back into the groove and start posting more often!

'how savana got her groove back'
what do you mean friends from your actual ward? what's with that? :)
What a fun play date! I can't wait until Alissa is old enough to enjoy those kinds of things.
i think we all do the same thing- blog twice a week for a month and then take a two week break. we forgive you as long as you try to do better :)
you are very brave to take all "your" kids to the zoo! i don't think i would even try!
Hey are you busy the week of the 12th? Blain's going out of town so I am too. I'll call you. Fun stuff, and I love the bath picture. My girls are starting to get enough hair that when it sticks up you can tell. Love it!! We'll have to get together.
