Short Long Weekend

Preston decided to head up to Hoodsport for the long weekend (we made our own long weekend by taking Friday off) and  my mom and I decided to steal Maya and head down to meet my dad in Sun River. It was a lot of driving BUT a lot of relaxing - although one of us decided they didn't really want to sleep there - which then, of course, caused the other not to sleep.
Callie had an amazing time with Grandma and Grandpa's undivided attention and LOVED having Maya with her. It was so much fun to watch Maya interact with Callie - she is an amazing, caring, and silly little girl. One of my favorite parts of the weekend happened when Callie and Maya were eating dinner. Maya was a little distracted from eating (I know, big surprise!) and was playing with Grandma's phone case. She was driving it around the table like a car, and I am not sure why, but Callie found it SO funny! Every time it came close to her, she would giggle, which would cause Maya to giggle and then the cycle continued. It was so cute.
Callie didn't really dig the snow too much (probably because she couldn't move with all her layers of clothes) but sat and watched us make a snow turtle (with a horn in the middle of its head - Maya's idea to add another rock). She loved swimming in the pool though - I can't wait to take her this summer. Both of the girls were troopers in the car (I think Callie just liked having someone in the back seat with her) - and even though I was exhausted on Monday, it was a great weekend!
 Couldn't really move much of anything
 The only time Maya would actually stop for a picture - had to snap it quick
 First time in swings and she is crammed in it with all her layers of clothes! Poor girl!
 Ready for bed
 Grandpa was given the choice between taking Maya to the potty/getting her ready for the hot tub or to feed Callie - Callie didn't really know what was going on
First time in the pool and loving it! (I take that back - we tried one time before this for Bennett's birthday = too many kids, too much noise and lots of crying - therefore I don't count that time)

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...
