Our First Real Family Photo!

We had family pictures taken this weekend. Other than some candid snapshots, we really haven't had a real family picture taken. Kate is always interested in other things than looking at the camera. What can we say......we tried : ) Rosenvall's May 2007
Not a big fan of kisses from Mom & Dad!!!

Lions and Tigers and Bears....Oh My!!!!

Kate had a play date up at Hogle Zoo today. It was such a perfect day to go because it was overcast and not too hot. We had a lot of fun. Kate is still trying to get over the cold I gave to her. She has been pretty congested, so we had to put her back on oxygen....Ahhh!!! Hopefully, not too much longer.

We got to see the elephants....
...And the giraffe's.....
....And even got to ride on a train!
We are having too much fun!!!!

Seven Peaks......Here we come!!!

We are counting down the days until Seven Peaks opens for the season. We got a season pass this year, so we will be spening a lot of time there this summer. We had to test out Kate's bathing suit. I was a little worried it would be too big for her (it's 12-18 months), but it fits her perfect. She loves the water, so we're looking forward to spending a lot of time out in the sun.

Happy Mother's Day!

I got the BEST Mother's Day gift. Kate gave me the biggest smile yet. Too bad she doesn't like to smile for the camera : ) It was such a great day. We spent the day in Fillmore and later that night, we got to talk to Uncle Jordan, who is serving a mission in Texas.

Kate's Buddies!

Tyson, Tanner, Kate, Emma & Rylee

We celebrate my friend, Teresa's, birthday last week at Mimi's Cafe. We had so much fun. Kate is becoming a little stinker when it comes to eating away from home. She recently decided that she only likes to eat in the comfort of her own home. If it's noisy or things are going on around her, she loses her focus really quick. That's going to have to change....quick :) I took her in to be weighed on Friday and she has only lost 2.5 oz. Not too bad. The GI specialist is going to be calling today to discuss some options and what he thinks about her progress. I have a feeling that he is going to suggest that we keep doing what we're doing for a few more weeks. I'll be okay with that. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

This weekend, Christian and Abriel stayed with us while John & Michelle hiked Bryce Canyon. Kate loved having all the attention from her cousins.

Kate & Maddy

Kate and I spent the afternoon with my friend, Lacey, and her cute little daughter, Maddy. They must have both been really sleepy, because they were fast asleep before we got back from our walk.

Good News!

On Friday, we took Kate in to be weighed. It's now been over a week since we took the feeding tube out. The good news is that she hasn't lost any weight.....she just stayed the same ( 15 lbs. 10 oz.). She has her good days and her bad days, but even though all the reflux she has been doing, it's great to know that she isn't losing a significant amount of weight. We will be taking her in this Friday to be weighed again. The plan is to keep her off the feeding tube as long as she is not losing weight, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Grandma and Grandpa Roper had a big party out at the barn on Friday night, so we spent the evening in Fillmore. It was a lot of fun. Grandma and Grandpa sure do know how to throw a party!! We also got to see the 3 new colts that were born a few weeks ago.

Christian is a Natural.......
