World's best POP!

We are absolutely thrilled that in October a sweet little GIRL will be added to our family.  Boys are the best, but we are ready for some barbies around here:)  Max wanted it to be a girl.   He said he already had a William so he didn't need another boy.  With the boys being sick, Kris came home to watch them while I went to the ultra sound.  It was fun to come home and surprise them.  Babies are such miracles and we are so blessed. 

Will is back!  After two weeks of sadness and sickness My happy William is back.  He was the sickest I have seen him.  After a week of not getting better the doctor sent him in for a chest x-ray and after finding he had pneumonia and changing his prescriptions he finally got better.   

Thank you medicine!

Friday night I had a little personal revelation that we moved to the right place...we went to the Dairy Days Parade in downtown Meridian:)  The parade threw out things like cheese, chocolate milk and ice cream!  My favorite things. 

My Boys.  Happy Father's Day.  I am so lucky to have wonderful priesthood and future priesthood holders in my life.  I have really felt the manifestation of that power as we have gone through sickness and trial.  I love my dear ol' Dad and Kris the Father of these two.  If you have ever seen these guys together it is obvious where I stand.  They absolutely love and adore him.  They hide and squeal with delight each day as he comes home from work.  Max only lets Kris put him to bed and sing to him at night.  They are really three peas in a pod. 

Love you.  You're the World's best POP! 

P.S.  The boys bought Kris some blow pops, popcorn, pop-its, and some soda pop for Father's day.  Kris always has something clever to say, he said, "Thanks, you BLOW pop."  That is not what we meant. 

Yea! It's summer time...now what?

 We are excited for summer and the beautiful warm weather.  

Max finished his fun play school with some ward friends. They had a little graduation party to say goodbye with all the pomp and circumstance. 

 The family met at the Twin Falls temple to do 152 baptisms for the Wilson and Hogg sides of the family.  It was a really awesome experience to have my 92 year old Grandpa Woody there with us.   We celebrated at Cafe Rio afterward and I found a bolt in my pork salad...I got a FREE MEAL:)

 It was a great, yet exhausting day.

 We love to spend time on the beautiful river with family, especially Ty Ty.  That is one reason we wanted to move to Boise so that Max and Ty could be close cousins.   Here is Tyler with a chocolate eye.

 It wouldn't be a Coats Sunday afternoon without a little competition.  Now we have moved on to the next generation of competitors.  Oh and by the way, you can't quit until someone cries. 

 Looking forward to a wonderful summer.  If we could just get William healthy.  He has been sick again for the past four days.  Max and his Dad didn't let that put a damper on their weekend.  They found some ways to have fun.  

Got him!  Love this one. Hope everyone has a wonderful summer.
