Chores, the forest and our BFFs...just another day!

Well, another month has past and we are still in Silver City.  I had some complications arise with my incision so we had to stay longer so I could heal.  We are hopefully headed home in the next week.  We have stayed busy with the usual day-to-day activities.  From doing dishes, to reading books to siblings to painting our faces with $30 tubes of lipstick, it is pretty normal for us!  I have enjoyed our stay in Silver and the kids have loved living across the street from their favorite people and having their Granee at their beckon call.  I am ready to be home and back to an "active" life for me.  Having 5 kids in 4 years never leaves a quiet or simple life but it is our life and we love every minute of it!

Dallin is our helper around the house.  He loves washing dishes and I would just assume he will continue to enjoy that chore for as long as it will last!
Clara our pretty girl!
Ava with her babies in their car seat!  She loves playing mommy and boy does she talk up a storm!  She is our most verbal child so far!
Bennett...need I say more!  The color looks good on him though!
Emerson is almost 2 months old and still has the sweetest personality.  He has just found his voice and smiles and talks to all who hold him.  He still sleeps best with noise around him, which is good because our house if anything but quiet!

Our trip to the "forest" as my kids call it!  Little ducks that followed their daddy around!  They loved it!  Ava was carrying her baby in her jacket to be like mommy (I had Emerson in the baby Bjorn!).  She is our little mommy and bosses everyone around.


A rare picture of Daddy on the blog.  He was enjoying the "forest" with his Clara!

Grandma Gertie loving on Emerson!
Our BFFs came to visit.  The kids loved every minute of them being here!  I think the kids wore them out!
A rare picture of Mommy on the blog too!.  Sweet baby Emerson!
