Sarah's Blessing!

Our little Princess!




This is very typical of Linden with Sarah. We couldn't get a good shot. Notice the Binky is in, then brother pulls it out, and then sister is screaming!! We love our cute kids!




Here's our family!

Grandpa Van and Grandma Greta.


Grandpa Kelly and Grandma Linda.


Great Grandpa and Grandma Beckstead.


Sarah Anne is being held by her Great Grandma Anne Beckstead.

Posing with cousins that were there. We miss Sydney and Maggie!!

Kroll Family Reunion

The Kroll Family Reunion was on September 13 in Bountiful. We love getting together with the Krolls. It's always fun to see family and eat great food.

Here's a shot of the Gene and Beverly Jones posterity that was there.





Grandpa was wearing Linden's hat and Sarah is being held by Aunt Emily.

Cherry Hill Family Reunion

I'm behind as usual, but our computer was getting repaired so what can I say. Here are pictures from our family reunion at Cherry Hill with the Becksteads. We had a great time.




Linden loved the water and loved being with his cousins.




The car I would have to say was the highlight of the reunion for Linden although he and Sarah also enjoyed seeing grandma and grandpa.

Being a mom of two!!

I figured out how to get a shower the other day when naps didn't happen at the same time. I gated Linden in his room and had Sarah in the swing right outside the bathroom door. I could play peek-a-boo with Linden and he had toys to play with. He could also look at sister, but couldn't touch! I was quite proud of myself.

This is just a cute picture of the two kids in the car. Linden loves having a buddy in the backseat. This was Sarah's first ride in the car seat! She did great!

Pictures of Linden & Sarah


Linden is a great helper. He loves to feel the water to see if it is the right temperature.


Sarah got dressed up to attend a baptism. It was her first outing. She was awake during the entire baptism.


Notice, no oxygen. She is off and doing great. What a miracle!!!


Big brother loves his little sister and she loves him, too. When he loves her too much, she tolerates him. They are fun!!


Sarah is saying hello to the world from the swing that she loves. Thanks Wes and Jenn for letting us borrow it.

2nd Attendant to the Prince!

Linden entered the Annual Franklin County Cute Baby Contest. He was entered in the prince contest for babies ages 7 - 15 months old. He loved being on stage and as you will be able to see he danced, waved, showed how big he was and just hammed it up. Daddy took him over and was quite proud of his little boy!!






Grandpa, this is for you!

Hi Grandpa!!!


Linden's tricks!

Here are a few of Linden's new tricks. He is learning new things everyday and cracks us up. The only thing he will watch on TV is Baby Signing Time. He loves to sign and say his words.

First Photo Shoot!

We got to take her oxygen off while she took a bath and so we decided while it was off we would take some pictures. They turned out so cute!





Linden is a very proud big brother but he is still having a hard time figuring out what it means when we tell him to be soft. In this picture he is giving Sarah an "Uncle Nate hug". As you can see Sarah is still a little unsure of big brother.He is teething and so everything goes in his mouth even if it is Sarah's fingers.

What cute kids!
