HERE SHE IS

Andie Atkin
Born June 09, 2009
5 lb. 4 oz.
19 inches
She's a keeper!

Andie Atkin was born 5 weeks early, and had to really work hard to breathe, so they moved her to the NICU at Timpanogos Medical Center in Orem. Mommy got to hold her for the first time Friday June 13th (See Friday the 13th isn't always bad) and she continues to make excellent progress. We hope she can come home soon!

Pony Riding

Aunt Amanda and family got a new pony for Easter! Of course we had to go for a ride! Packer & Benson loved riding a horse just their size! She sure is a cute pony. Cousin Jessica named her Honeypie Pony, just like Strawberry Shortcake's pony. Cute!

Pool Fun at Home

We splurged this summer and bought a little pool to play in at our house during the hot summer months. Hopefully it'll be worth the purchase!

Swimming at Aunt Morgan's

Mommy, Benson, & Packer went to Morgan & Josh's place in Draper to visit and go swimming in their private pool! Benson LOVED it! Packer ... He liked it okay as long as Mommy was holding him.

The pool had a waterfall, a slide, a basketball hoop (Packer's favorite part) and lots of floaties. It was a blast!

Brayden's Birthday

A Pirate Birthday Party! Isaac Thurman (cousin) poses here showing off his awesome Pirate Patch. He never took it off. He is so dang cute!

Here is Brayden opening presents... Benson & Packer's favorite part of Birthdays! Packer is in the Orange off to the left. His face says it all!

Benson got to dress up as a pirate as well. Here he is with his bandanna and eye patch. Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, a Pirates life for me! Happy Birthday Brayden!

EASTER 2009

Happy Easter!
We had 2 successful Easter Egg Hunts this year. Benson was a pro, and Packer was a natural. He loves putting things into buckets and baskets. However, once Packer realized there was candy inside the eggs, the Hunt became less interesting and eating the candy became the goal. They both had a lot of fun though, as you can tell!

Here they are at Grandma Atkin's house.

Here they are at the Bohman's House for the the Lloyd Easter Egg Hunt. We love Easter!

Playtime

Benson & Packer love this marble run play set that Benson got for his Birthday. Here they are setting up some tracks for the marbles to fly through. Usually Mommy has to help to make it work... but they love setting it up anyway!
