A fun couple of weeks...

We had a busy, but fun last couple of weeks....here's a few of the fun things we did...

Movies in the park (we saw Madagascar at the Clinton park and The Tale of Despereaux at the Ogden Amphitheater) ...

Fireworks...

Girls night out at Kenna's house. Kenna planned lots of fun activities. We made watches and aprons, ate macaroni and cheese and rice krispy treats, and stayed up until 4 in the morning.

Raigen, Brinlee, and Kennedi sporting their new aprons...

Extensions (janae's friend let her borrow her hair extensions so she let everyone try them out). It was really weird to see Janae with long hair because her hair just won't grow long. Doesn't she look georgeous! Brinlee and Rai Rai looked really cute too. Oh, and don't forget Chief :)

Kyle's family reunion...it's funny that we all live so close to each other, but only see everyone a few times a year. The kids are all getting so big and CUTE!

Jackson and Madison...

JaQuoy and Brinlee...

Rai Rai (she loves to eat)...

Brenda and Taylor...

A night out in Salt Lake at the Marriot hotel while kyle was at scout camp. We played in the pool, watched Disney, and rode Trax...

Brinlee can officially swim by herself (with a life jacket). She's like a little fish...

Funny faces (Cassidy, Cheyenne, Kenna, Trevin, Brinlee, Janae, and Raigen)

I don't know why Hallie hates the pool, but she does. She loves the bath and the little pool in the back yard, but she definitely did not like this big one...

Hallie was much happier to sit at the edge of the pool, hold Taylor, and watch everyone else swim.
Rodeo... The girls love horses. This is at the days of '47 rodeo in Ogden on the 24th of July. It was really fun, but a little too long for a 3, 2, 1, and 7 week old if you know what I mean. Nate,

Joni, Kens, and Cass went too. We love hangin' out with family...

This leash was a life saver because we couldn't take a stroller...

The Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house...Trav, Sugar, and Chief were so sweet to take Raigen and Brinlee with them to the open house and to see Grandpa Canova.

4th of July

We hope everyone had an enjoyable 4th of July. We started the day out at the Kaysville Parade with all of Kyle's Family and my mom and dad and Cass. It was such a nice day for a parade. Lots of clouds, but no rain. Then we went to Grandma Jean and Papa's house for a BBQ. The kids played in some blow up pools and a slip-n-slide. The had a lot of fun. Then we went to the fireworks with my family, Dave and Annie, and Papa. Kaysville set up a bunch of inflatable toys and they were all FREE! Brinlee and Kennedi loved it (we talked Kyle, Nate, and Cass into going a few times too). The fireworks, like always, were awesome! It was a good day!

Emma and Taylor...she loves babies!

Brinlee, JaQuoy, and Amelia...
Raigen, Kenzie, and Marci...

Hallie, Brin, and Rai Rai in the car on the way to the parade (Raigen's eyes look weird, oh well)...

Cass and Taylor...Mason and Quentin...Me and Kyle (bad picture), but Kyle thought we needed a picture together on the 4th...Flag toes by McKenna, Canova tradition...Inflatable slides before the fireworks...

Kyle and Brinlee... Cass and Kennedi...Brinlee drew this picture the other day and I thought it was so cute. Look close...it is a picture of our family. I've never seen her draw people like this. Notice that each person is smaller as they go down in age! SO CUTE!

Taylor at one month. She definitely has the big Hamblin eyes! She is such a good baby...

Pictures and "Allyson/Allen" the caterpillar

Here's a few cute pictures of the girls. They are all getting so big! Brinlee and Raigen love to help with Taylor and are really careful with her. Hallie (17 months) is another story. Since Taylor was born Hallie has started to bite and pinch ALL the time. We have tried everything we know to stop her, but it hasn't worked. Does anyone have any ideas? I think it's a cry for attention, but what do I know. Anyway, I went back to work on Saturday. I was afraid to leave Kyle with the 4 little ones, but I did. I called him at about 10 pm and asked him how he was doing. His response was, "You act like they're hard or something." What can I say, he's a good dad and the house was even clean when I got home!!!
This is the cute face Hallie makes when we say, "Show me your teeth."Madison (born March 17th) and TaylorAbout two months ago Kyle was cleaning out the back of his truck and found this cute fuzzy caterpillar (known as a wolly bear caterpillar). He brought it inside to let the girls see it and we decided to put it in a jar and keep it for a while. Brinlee named it "Allen" and Rai Rai called it "Allyson." We put clean grass in the jar and squirted it with water every few days. Raigen took that little caterpillar with her everywhere she went. On walks, to the store, and in the car. Well, one night we accidently left it in the car and when we got in the car the next day we found this (see picture). My first thought was that it was dead. I felt so bad because Rai Rai really loved it. Then I realized that it had probably made its cocoon, and it had. About three weeks later this is what we found..... it had turned into a tiger moth. We all thought it was pretty fun to watch.

Taylor Meg

Well, I'm sitting in the hospital totally bored so I thought I'd give y'all a glimpse of our cute new addition. Taylor Meg was born yesterday 6/3 at 6:18 pm. She is our smallest baby yet weighing in at 6 lbs 5 oz and measuring 19 inches long. Here at the hospital she is known as "the peanut." We all think she is pretty neat and super cute. I hope I can be a good mommy to four little girls. I know it will take some getting used to, but it is totally worth it.
