First trip of the season... in the canyon

 Ants? No, Uncle (and cousins) on a log.

 Grace in her element.  The outdoors and the water.  Thanks for a warm April!

 Big Jake and little Jakey throwing rocks.

 Isaac loves smores, hold the chocolate.

 Josh and Heather took the kiddos on a little walk.  Thanks!

 Thomas would like to push this log in the river.  Keep trying buddy!

We had a lovely family barbecue up AF canyon at the end of April. It was such a busy month I almost forgot to post it.  We missed Kelby and the new baby and Tom and Ruth, but everyone else in the area was there!  I am looking forward to some more smores.

Spring Break- Tuesday

Tuesday of spring break was just going to be a day I cleaned, and hung out.  At 8:30 Jesse called and said Kelby's contractions were about 5 minutes apart.  This wouldn't have changed my day if they hadn't asked me to be at the birth in a sort of doula role.  Their first birth didn't go so well so they were willing to try anything...  I LOVE anything pregnancy related.  I think it is all so beautiful. So while I was nervous I was honored to be a part of this special day.  I research the doula role a little and prayed I would say or do anything that would bring a little comfort.  In the end my most valuable contributions were the hair thing, the sports bra, the ipod home station for music, and my camera.  Things went well and little Aidan was born at 12:30 pm.  She labor a third as long as she did the first time. Kelby was super strong and brave.  Jesse and Kelby and super parents and little Aidan is lucky to be a part of this wonderful family. 
Will I pursue being a doula?  Maybe...
