Interaction...

Aurora is becoming much more aware and responsive to her environment.  She is 6 weeks old today!  She has a beautiful smile too!

First Sacrament Meeting

 The boys waiting for Aurora to placed on someone's lap...it is always a fight...

 I really wish Wilson would have smiled in the picture! I think he was protesting because Aurora sat in Holden's lap first!

Aurora

 I went to check on her, and she was awake, and just peeking out of the blankets!

Oh, I love that face!  It melts my heart when she looks at me with those pretty eyes!

The Franks

 We stopped by to visit Art & Vicky on Saturday afternoon.  Art showed us his latest project - a spiral staircase up to the roof of their building on Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City.  The boys thought it was really cool (and so did I), but the mother in me was a little freaked out as I watched my little boys look over the edge of the building, and down three stories to the ground!

Soccer

Holden started soccer this week.  This is the first time he has played, so it took him a little bit of time to figure it out.  He loves it!  His coach wanted an extra practice (which is really good for Holden), and I asked his if he wanted to go, he said, "if it is soccer, I am there MOM!!" Holden is #11...

She is awake and alert

She is awake and ready to participate in all that is going on around her!

She had fun with her uncle last night, of course her brothers weren't far from her!

Davis County Fair

Dino Day Camp

Wilson, Holden, and their friend Isaac went to Dino Day Camp.  The boys earned it by doing their workbooks all Summer (well really, Wilson earned it by doing his workbook - he finished it the first week of August!)
The boys had a great time!

Birthday fun at Boondocks

On Josef's birthday, Wilson and Holden went to a Dino Day Camp, so Shell and I took Josef, Stone, Taft, and Aurora to Boondocks for some fun!

The boys had a great time!

Josef Turned 3

 Josef turned 3!!! We had some cousins over for cake and ice cream.

 Josef wanted the four layer chocolate mousse cake:)

Hill Air Force Museum

 That is one BIG plane!

Last week we all went the Air Force Museum.  The boys had fun ooohhhing and aaahhhing over all the military stuff!

She makes me smile!

 She makes me smile!  Time is flying, I can't believe she will be four weeks old on Thursday.  She is continuing to be a good eater, and doing better at night.  The past 4 nights she has gotten up between 1 & 2 AM, and then between 5 & 6 AM.  I am so grateful that Ken takes the first feeding, and then I do the second - he is such a great support!

Her first coo

Aurora is starting to be a lot more alert.  She loves hanging out in the swing.  I love to watch her as she looks around!

Aurora

I walked into the living room, and there she was wide awake!  She is getting big!  I love it when she is awake...she has beautiful eyes!

Aurora's Infant Portraits

Don't those faces look so sweet and innocent? They are oh so deceiving!

 The banner and quilt are from Aurora's room.

At the end of the session, Aurora opened her eyes, so Amy wanted to get a few more pictures!  She has long legs, arms, fingers, and toes...she reminds me of a sloth!

Aurora

This picture was taken by my friend Amy when Aurora was about 12 hours old!

 Our friends Ken and Shana has their baby Madison 12 hours before us, right next store to our room in the hospital!  She is also the fourth child, and her dad's name is Ken too!

I think they are destined to be great friends:)
