The fun never ends.

Elias: (yelling from other room) Mom! Come find me in the bathroom....

Mom: (Simeon sleeping on her shoulder) Um...I bet you're in the shower.

Elias: Aaaaahhhh (disappointed) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ok, I'll get out.



Haven: (after being promised ice cream cones following shots) Mom, did you remember to get the ice cream and pine cones?!

Happy Birthday Jules!!!

Sorry Julia, life got a little crazy and time flew by. Happy Birthday to one of the cutest, funniest, and craftiest girls I know.

Life is worth it.

How can I complain when life is full of moments like these?

Just a little update....

I'm sorry that I have been slacking with this blog. I'm just trying to figure life out. Three is more challenging than I thought it would be. Simeon is thriving and changing every day. These aren't the most recent photos, but I promise more to come. I want to thank everyone who has helped me out with their service and prayers. I feel the effects of these tender mercies every day.

Simeon's Here, Hooray!!!!

March 13th ,at 7:43 p.m., is the day that Simeon John-Calvin Counihan decided to enter the world. What a precious little guy. He seems mild tempered, easy-going, and simply delicious. The delivery was crazy and most importantly, OVER! At the end of it all he weighed in at 7lbs. 15 oz. and was 21 inches long. Within his first 5 minutes of life he pooped and urinated on the nurses, typical! He has tons of hair, I love it. Elias says that Simeon's hair feels like feathers and I catch him and Haven rubbing the dark locks often. During the delivery, before it was crazy, Ben was studying for a Physiology test that he had the very next morning. He has done amazingly well balancing school and our changing family life. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much with such fun children and I know Simeon is going to fit in just perfectly.

Surfing???

We joined the Lake family at the beach so the guys could go surfing. Not much surfing went on as you can see. The rest of us were freezing, but Ben and Emerson were snug in their cozy and cute suits.

Happy Birthday Grammie!!

I know this is a couple of days early, but I wanted to plan ahead in case life gets a little crazy. March 11th is Grammie's birthday. We love you and hope you have a great day.
