Skydiving

A couple of weeks after Alba was born, we went down to St. George and spent some time with my family. Kadin and Kylie were graduating from high school so it called for a celebration including ceremonies, food, and sky diving. 

Confession: I went to Seminary Graduation but fed Alba for a chunk of it and straight up skipped the high school graduation and watched it on YouTube instead. Greatest way to watch a graduation if you ask me! But because of that, I didn't take a single picture of the graduates. So instead here's a cute picture of Ian with Kadin's cap eating watermelon and we will skip to the fun of skydiving.

The skydiving tradition started when I turned 18 and my dad and I went skydiving. He then took Brad when he turned 18, and now that Kadin and Kylie turned 18 it was their turn. The offer was extended to any of us who wanted to go so Taryn and Jesse jumped on board and decided to join in the adventure.

I might be crazy, but I took the boys and our brand new baby to watch my husband skydive. 
I'm grateful he didn't leave me a widow and he had fun while he was at it!





The boys even got to sit in the airplane for a minute. They were in heaven.


















We kissed our daddy and wished him good luck!









While we waited for all the skydivers, my dad and grandpa took the boys on four wheeler rides. They were big fans.










 They all survived and had a great time. 
And that was just the beginning of our somewhat never ending trip!

Newborn Pictures

When Miss Alba was about a week old, we went back to our new favorite photographer Jenn with The Minted Company and did a newborn session. Alba was an angel, and the boys were for about 3 minutes and then they got a little crazy. But you know what, this is our life, crazy and all, and we are so in love with it! 





























This is the look you give each other when you wonder who thought having three kids was a good idea. 

But in all seriousness, we adore our kiddos and love that we are now a family of five. I still feel like we are just a little family, but as Jesse has pointed out, we can't even fit in a lot of average sedans, so maybe we are a decent sized family. 
Luckily we embrace the mini van life and love this stage we are at right now!
