Our weekend

Our first stop Friday afternoon was at the VF Factory Outlet. Reed always buys his jeans there. The Burkhardts had spent the afternoon at Hogle Zoo and they wanted us to meet them at Texas Roadhouse for dinner. The Schvaneveldts were in the area to attend their old ward's Pinewood Derby, so they met us there as well. Since Natalie and Robin share a birthday on May 18th, they got to sit in the saddle, be sung to, and got complimentary ice cream. Here is a picture of Natalie, who will be 10 years old. (She belongs to the 3rd daughter, 3rd child club too!)

This is a picture of the 'Burkhardt's Enchanted Forest.' The girls love to play there. All that white stuff that makes it look like the picture is extremely over-exposed is actually cotton from the cottonwood trees. It was everywhere. Robin and Andrew were planning on putting up a 6 foot vinyl fence but found their backyard was a lot deeper than they thought, so this year's project will be removing some trees. They will have a gate to the remaining park. We stayed the night in the Burkhardt's guest suite.

Andrew showed us this cute baby bonnet and verse that a co-worker gave them for the new baby. I thought it was rather unique.

The American Fork Hospital was over-crowded on Saturday morning when Robin had anticipated being induced. She had to wait several hours before making the two minute drive to the hospital. While we played the waiting game I washed all the windows in their home. At 4:48 p.m. on Saturday, May 16, 2009, Robin delivered a 7 pound 4 ounce baby girl. She is 19 inches long and has brown hair and blue eyes. A name hasn't been picked, but Ashlyn insists the name will be 'Sophia' and Katelyn says her name is 'Daisy.' The baby is our 18th grandchild and 10th granddaughter. After taking Ashlyn and Katelyn to see their new baby sister, we headed back to Nibley with the kids for a few days.

Robin, Ashlyn and baby. Ashlyn ( 5) was really excited. She did so much better than when Katelyn was born. At that time all Ashlyn could do is cry. We had to take her to 1st Dam to feed the ducks to get her mind off the trauma of having a sibling.

Katelyn (3) and her new baby sister. She is going to be a big help. She is a 'nurturer.'

Ashlyn watering the radishes. She also enjoy watching the birds at the feeders. She likes to be as still as a statue as she sits on the back steps and watches the hummingbirds a few feet away.
