Two somebodies have discovered that Mommy is grounded for long periods of time to the couch by a baby these days. This evening, Derek uncovered a Stash behind the Zubag in the formal living room:

Who knows what we'll discover when we move everything back down to the FINISHED basement (Thanks to my amazing Dad!)!

And then there are times like these, when I find them reading scriptures, or playing so happily (and legally) together.





Or holding baby brother so tenderly.  Halle:

Oh, and here's a picture from about an hour ago, just for fun:

Moab, Here we come! Well, some of us.

A week after Connor is born, Jeff took all 6 older kids and went to Moab for 6 days with Keri the Saint.  When he got there, he realized that the twins' suitcase was still on their bedroom floor... so he went to a gas station convenience store and bought them 6 little outfits and some shoes & hats.  =)  Thank you thank you thank you for giving me that time to rest and sleep and rest some more with the newest member of our family!!

They rented a trailer and stayed in a campground.







They saw a dinner shoot-out & music show:







And hiked EVERYWHERE.













































And then they came home to us.  =)

So everyone came to visit this baby.  It is always so awesome when my older kids come to meet the new baby.















When it was time to come home, Connor did NOT like getting dressed.







But once he got home, he got held every day, all day, if he wasn't taking a nap right on the couch so we could all hear him if he woke up.
