Easter

This year we had a very low key Easter. Mom had her last round of chemo this week and because of that, we celebrated Easter a week early with the Knowles family. It was an amazing day full of Easter egg hunts, bike riding, cookie decorating, and running around. It was perfect (it did help that we ended up with an absolutely gorgeous day!)! I, of course, took no pictures of the day......check Sarah's blog :-)
On Easter, we spent the day relaxing....just the four of us. We headed to church in the morning and while we were at church the Easter bunny came and hid a basket and eggs for Callie.
That tricky Easter bunny hid her basket behind the chair (a popular hide and seek location)

Checking out her Easter basket

Yum....jelly beans!

Some very silly glasses

The Easter bunny also hid a dozen plastic eggs around the house which contained Callie's lunch. She had SO much fun finding the eggs and opening them to see what the Easter bunny made her for lunch. 

A bagel piece with strawberry cream cheese....a favorite!

Here's my lunch....

Liam slept through most of the egg hunt and basket hunt but was all smiles when he got up!

Callie then helped me put the pineapple on the ham

Taking a step back in time, we decorated eggs a week or so before. Callie had a blast deciding if the eggs were dark enough or if we needed to let them go a bit longer (the answer was always longer).
Dye is all mixed and eggs are ready to be dyed

Liam kind of slept through the whole process....

Grandma and Grandpa got her a magnifying glass. She had to inspect every egg before she deemed it was good!


The finished product!

We are now a family of 4 pretty impressive bike riders.

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 ...
