Stroller Advice

I am in the market for a new stroller/car seat combo. Since I did things in reverse, I own 3 double strollers and no singles. At first I was just going to get a sit and stand and have the boys share the back but when I took them to look at it they hated it, fell out, fought, and would not stay in it. I have decided to just get a single stroller. I am leaning towards this Chicco but I am not totally sold yet. Any advice from all you experts out there would be greatly appreciated! What do you have? Do love it, hate it, wish you had something different? I am hoping this one will last me through the rest of my kids and I won't have to do this again :)

On a side note...Congrats to my brother Geoff and his beautiful wife! They just found out they are having twins...a BOY and a GIRL! We are so excited for them! They will have 4 kids under 4! It is going to be crazy but fun! Two sets of twins (naturally) in 1 family...what are the chances? We are thrilled for them!

India

My little sister Abbey is in India for 2 1/2 weeks having a life changing experience. She is working with the lepers, teaching children English, and building bathrooms. If you want to see some really neat pictures and read about her experiences go HERE!

4th of July

Better late than never right? I just realized that I have not posted all our cute pictures from the 4th so bare with me and then I will post about our Bear Lake trip! Geoff and Aleena and Jake and Michelle were both here with their families! It was so fun to spend time with their kids.

On the 3rd we got the boys up and took them to the balloons. If we look tired it is because we were!! The whole gang!The boys were a little unsure but warmed up once the balloons were in the air!Brady stayed close to his dad!On the 4th Ryan got up bright and early and ran the 10K! I took the boys and went to the parade. I was a little nervous but they loved it!Aunt Kelsey is the best helper!That night we went and had a BBQ with Ryan's family and then came back to hang out with my family! We had a snail problem in the backyard so my mom came up with the idea to give all the kids salt shakers and have them kill the snails. You cannot believe how excited they were! It was hilarious!The boys were a little "scared" and watched from a distance!I thought they would be scared of the fireworks but they weren't at all. They loved them!My sisters/best friends!Chad came home for the 4th and the family reunion! It was so fun to see him! We miss him!Brady loved the glow in the dark things. He was entertained all night!We had a great 4th! Hope you all did too!

All Because 2 People Fell In Love!

We just returned home from a great week in Bear Lake with my whole family! There were 25 of us staying in 1 cabin including 11 kids under the age of 7 (plus a few mice who were kind enough to share their home with us)! It was a little crazy at times but we had a blast! The kids did great together, we ate lots of yummy food, boated, played games, and relaxed. It was lots of fun! Thanks to my wonderful parents for making it a great week for all of us! We love you! LOTS more pictures to come!

Baby Summer

My sister Renee had her 4th baby a couple of weeks ago! She named her Summer Evelyn Holland and she is adorable and so precious! It has been fun trying to introduce the idea of a baby to the boys. It is all so confusing to them. This was the first time they saw her. Easton wanted to hold her the whole time and have my mom take pictures of him kissing her! It was so cute! Brady on the other hand wanted nothing to do with her and only wanted my mom to take pictures of his feet and his mouth. He is quite the little ham these days! They have since both gotten used to her and get excited every time she comes over. They are very "soft" with her and love to kiss her on the head. I am hoping it will help them get used to the idea of having a baby around. We love her to pieces...who wouldn't want to kiss this precious face? She is truly an angel baby!

Baby Update!

It's still a boy!!I just went to the doctor and the baby looks perfect! It is always such a relief when they look at the heart and the brain and tell you everything looks great! Brady and Easton came with me and were very concerned as I was having the ultrasound. They thought that I was hurt. They kept asking me if my tummy was okay and now keep asking if I am feeling better. I love them! I feel so blessed to be a mom and to have this healthy baby growing inside of me! Hopefully the next few months will fly by! I can't wait to meet this little one!
