Attended Baptism of Ericka Rowley: Kyle's coworker

Hardy family dinner

someone anonymously paid for our family's dinner at Red Robin!

 Lincoln loves helping unload the dishwasher.  He hands us what he can get, we say "thank you" he responds "doo-doo! (thank you)"

Yes, Hazel took this picture.

 While still at my parents house in Utah we had a visit from Connie Iric.  It was good to relax with an old friend and buoy her up.

 Reading with grandchildren, mmmm.

 We got to visit Great Grandma Hardy in Provo and later that same day Cristin (Kyle's sister) and her kids at this cool bounce house, Kangaroo Zoo.

 It took awhile for Hazel to warm up to it, but she finally let go and had some fun.

We drove our "new" minivan home from vacation, stopping at Great Grandma Eldredge's for a visit.  She told us some great stories.  We took her out to breakfast the next morning and she couldn't quite remember how to get there, so we ended up going up and down streets to find it, but we got there!

When we got home from vacation life started going rather speedy.  We registered the van, Kyle was called to be the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric, he had a training meeting with Elder Ballard (the apostle!) 2 days later, then was ordained a High Priest and set apart the next day.

That same Sunday was my first Sunday as Choir Director, And I subbed as the primary choir director for the Junior Primary, And I taught a lesson in Young Womens (because I hadn't been released from that calling yet), and Kyle had after church bishopric stuff to attend to.  Obviously, I crashed on the couch once I got home and I think the kids took care of themselves :)

I think the Lord blessed us with that really hard day so I feel like all the other Sundays are easy, even though Kyle is gone more!

 One of them kept copying the other, but I can't remember which.

He's walking!

She is so Fun!

Lincoln was trying his best to do it too.

Happy 4th Birthday Hazel!  The Candles wouldn't go in the ice cream bar, so we improvised.

 I think she picked out pineapple Fruit Bars as her birthday treat.

I have a very similar video of Dillan feeding Hazel.  These are precious to me.

I usually need to go to the bathroom in the morning in the middle of feeding Lincoln.  Dillan and Hazel are both so good to jump in and help whenever needed.

Selfie

 He walked doing this awesome arm pump for the first several weeks of walking.  So fun!

 At one point he got both feet in.  He'll also pull out pots and stand, squat, or sit in them.

Totally content and curious during his haircut.
