have you ever done Zumba?

So I just came back from a zumba class at the gym. It was my first time attending one and I did not quite know what to expect. I knew it was some kind of latin american dancing, My friend Nanci and I had so much fun. I was shaking places I have never shaken before. It took me about 1/2 hour just to get used to it...and I am sure I am going to feel it all tomorrow. But I really liked it. Since the gym is about 20 second walk from our house, Nanci dropped her kids off at my house, and Peter was so kind to watch all 5 kids while we worked out...bonus points to him for sure:)

Father and son campout

So last friday Peter and Jonah went down to Monterey to Laguna Sega for the annual stake Father and Son camp. They had so much fun. peter told me that when Jonah finally went to bed at 11pm he chuckled as he slid into the sleeping bag. He was just so excited to sleep in a tent and a sleeping bag....I guess he has not done it very often, as camping is not mommy most favorite thing to do! So when they came home Peter had to set up the tent in the backyard, so they could do it again.

Visit from Norway

My brother Sveinung and his girlfriend Cecilie came to visit this past week from Norway. It was Sveinungs forst time in California, and Cecilies first time in USA.It was so good to see them and to hang out with them. We took them to the redwood trees and the kids loved the big trees. I wish I got to see my brothers and sisters more often, but we love when they visit:)

Makenna wants to be Alicia Keys

So Makenna just loves Alicia Keys, and especially the song "No one" she wants to hear it all the time and has a very cute dance she does:)

Sleeping kids

Jonah took a nap here one day and looked so peaceful...it has been so long since he tok a nap, and I had to take a picture because somedays I need to remember how peaceful he can be:)

Ruby

To add to our crazyness:) We got a puppy a couple of weeks ago. her name is Ruby and she is the same age as Benjamin...12 weeks. We got her from the pound and the kids love her. It is a lot of extra work, and sometimes I wonder what the heck I was thinking getting a puppy with a newborn baby.....

Mommy and rollers

I was getting ready for church last sunday, and was putting rollers in my hair...and Makenna decided she wanted that also. She always wants to do what I am doing, and everyday when I put on makeup, she sits next to me and puts lipstick on.

Mothers day

So I had a good mothers day. Peter made me breakfast and got me a new camera...which I am so excited about. Iam still learning how to use it, but it takes so much better pictures than our old one.

For Mothers Day we had a couple of friends over, The Martins and The Wilsons, and the kids had so much fun running outside and BBQ. Makenna and her buddy Cody Wilson, are so cute together.
