New Blog Address

2008-06-26T17:50:00.001-07:00

Hey friends and Family--we made a new blog. Somehow our computer outsmarted us and we no longer have administrative access to this one, and we've realized we're not going to be in Michigan forever anyway, so check out our new one. The address is mindyourps.blogspot.com. I would add a link, but like I said, I can't do stuff like that anymore; thus the new blog. Hope you like it!

Max at 2 months and 1 day :)

More Bili Lights :(

2008-03-19T10:01:00.001-07:00

After a day off the lights, Max's bili went up too quickly, so he went back on the bili blanket for 3 days. He was a cute little glow worm, and pretty patient with all the equipment too.

Yeah! Max came home!

2008-03-19T09:58:00.001-07:00

After 3 days in the hospital, we were delighted to bring Max home! Surprisingly, he doesn't appear to hate the car seat too much :)

Max is Here!

2008-03-19T09:44:00.001-07:00

Max arrived March 13th at 3:02 a.m. weighing in at 7 lbs 14.8 0z and 20.5 inches long. He did a great job of peeing all over the scale :) Go Max!

Hinckley Turns 3!

2008-02-17T08:14:00.000-08:00

Hinckley had a very happy birthday. We are all glad he is no longer 2 :) He had his usual Cookie Monster cake, and his favorite gifts included Rocket, Dinoco McQueen, The Jungle Book, Curious George's Adventures, and the Hudson Hornet.

Fun with Grandpa

2008-02-02T08:11:00.000-08:00

We had so much fun playing with Grandpa Shayne while he was here. We can't wait until he comes back :)

Snowy Day

2008-01-01T18:25:00.000-08:00

We woke up to the first day of the new year with tons of fresh snow, and we had a great time playing. Ammon and Hinckley are addicted to sledding, and Casey built them a cool snow fort. Aubrey pretty much just took the pictures :)

Christmas 2007

2007-12-26T16:46:00.000-08:00

The boys were obviously pretty good this year. Santa brought them both a tool workshop and several story books. Ammon got the dragon of his dreams, and a backhoe for the sandbox. Hinckley got a marble run and Mack and some of the other cars characters. The truck (note: do not call it a Jeep. Ammon and Hinckley demanded a family vote, and they decided it was a truck) was from Grandma and Grandpa Shayne.

The drill really works!

2007-12-25T17:31:00.000-08:00

The Truck

2007-12-25T17:08:00.000-08:00

Hinckley's backside hardly left the truck for days. He ate his meals in the driver's seat. He watched cartoons with his seatbelt on. He still thinks it ought to be in the living room, but after bumping into every piece of furniture we own, crashing into the glass of the fireplace, taking out baby Jesus, the sheep, and the roof of the stable in our star Christmas countdown, Mom decided the truck had to stay downstairs or outside after new year's day. Ammon is quite the pro at driving now, and last time we let Hink try, well, let's just say he ran into a tree and didn't stop and Ammon had to somersault out the side to avoid being smashed :) Our favorite quote from Christmas day was from Hinckley:"Do we have more money to make it go?" The poor child is scarred for life because his Mom never has money to make the cars at the mall go, but they love playing on them just the same :)

Marble Run and Model Fun

2007-12-25T17:04:00.000-08:00

Ammon enjoyed painting his model biplane.

Hinckley got a little tired after all of his marble fun.

Off to school we go!

2007-12-13T15:18:00.000-08:00

Last day of Preschool fun before Christmas break! (Whew, finals were tough! Getting that candy to stick to the roof of the stable took serious skills :)

Send me COD please!

2007-12-13T15:10:00.000-08:00

Hinckley was just wondering if we could ship him back "home" for the holidays. He really misses Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Nick, Aunt Jess, Uncle Tyler, Uncle Ammon, Grandma and Grandpa Shayne, Grandma and Grandpa Owen, and all his cousins! Anybody care to pay the shipping?

We're going to get there! One way or another. . .

2007-12-12T15:14:00.000-08:00

We know there's a river here, and there's a river by Grandpa's house. We're thinking if this thing floats, we'll be there by sundown :) Tell Shaq to wait up.

Christmas Stockings

2007-12-11T15:26:00.000-08:00

We figured that since we finally had a fire, we'd better have some stockings, so Aubrey made these.

Studying for Finals. What fun!

2007-12-08T11:15:00.001-08:00

Really Casey, it's okay to sleep during finals week.

Casey's First Year of Law School

2007-12-08T11:13:00.000-08:00

Casey has to take a lot of books with him to school every day :)

"I will pick up the hook.
You will see something new.
Two things. And I call them
Thing One and Thing Two."

Good Morning Straubrey!

2007-10-24T22:35:00.000-07:00

Just thinkin' about you (in between touch-ups on my Torts and Civil Procedure outlines); and I figured you were due for a "Phamily" blog, eh?! ;)

Have fun!

Swimming Hole Fun!

I can jump. I can run. I can swing and do all things fun!

Hinckley's Bronco

2007-04-21T05:46:00.000-07:00

Some like it cold. Some like it hot. I like to ride over it on my horse, and other sorts of whatnot.
