Friday, November 14, 2008. This has really been a happy time for our family, even with having to adjust to a few things. I am so grateful that I can be a mother and experience all of these things! Thursday, November 6, 2008. The baby is here! Thomas John Allen was born on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 am He weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 inches long. He is so sweet and has a head full of black hair. He is wonderful! I can't believe we have 3 kids! Sunday, November 2, 2008. Any time now would be good.

Just 4 Fun!: December 2008
http://derekandlaurajust4fun.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2008. 12 days of Christmas. We've been having a "Secret Pixie" delivering fun treats and gifts to us for the 12 days of Christmas! It has been so fun for us all to open our door and find a little treat there waiting for us. We do not know who it is, we were hoping they would reveal themselves on the 12 th. Day but they have already left the gift today. (They are SERIOUSLY sneaky, dropping. Off the items in the middle of the night, even in the snow! Monday, December 22, 2008. Are u...

Too Many Hafens: ADDIE IS HERE!!!
http://toomanyhafens.blogspot.com/2013/07/addie-is-here.html
Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Girl #2 finally made it here. We have been waiting for Addie Jane for quite a while and now we're just grateful that she made it here safe and sound. With very little trauma to me. I had been having contractions on and off for a couple of days, even some in the temple (yikes! I made a mistake and decided to have some IV drugs after the delivery that made me very light headed and sleepy, but other than that it was great! Before (obviously in between contractions). Jack (4 years ol...

Sunday, May 19, 2013. Then I got closer and these are some of their faces. And some more random pictures of the kids while we're patiently waiting for summer time and. Addie Jane to get here. Jason managed to get one or two pictures of his boys at Father and Sons camp out with the ward. And Jack, having some deep thought dreams. Danny, my official "foodie" this is his favorite spot so he can always see if there's something new to eat. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Kimball (5 years old). Jack (4 years old).

Too Many Hafens: Easter Weekend Starts the Craziness
http://toomanyhafens.blogspot.com/2013/08/easter-weekend-starts-craziness.html
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Easter Weekend Starts the Craziness. Danny didn't care who hid what, he was just happy for his basket and a couple of treats. Tod thought the bunny was pretty sneaky, but he caught on quick. Good finding skills Jack! This girl loves to climb so, of course she finds the eggs at the top of the slide. With their baskets and lots of eggs - aka sugar for the ride home. Happy boy with his loot. And when the get to the top they have their snack and juice. Kimball (5 years old).

Just 4 Fun!: Utah Idaho Part 2
http://derekandlaurajust4fun.blogspot.com/2009/06/utah-idaho-part-2.html
Saturday, September 12, 2009. Utah Idaho Part 2. Our Utah/Idaho trip was at the first of June. We left Utah and headed to Rigby, Idaho, where my mom lives. It is beautiful there - we don't see that much green down in our desert! It was so much fun to just be outside a lot of the time and enjoy time with Grandma! The kids love riding their bikes in Grandma's neighborhood and the endless open space! Thomas learned to crawl on this trip and quickly found his way to the stairs! For Time and Eternity.

M&Ems: Carving Pumpkins
http://mandemsblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/carving-pumpkins.html
Friday, November 4, 2011. We like to get together with friends to carve pumpkins. I guess if you are going to make a big mess, you might as well make a REALLY big mess. Yup, we use power tools around here :). Mario preparing his masterpiece. Madelin with the first jack-o-lantern that she carved by herself! A really bad photo of the decorations on the front of our house, but since Mario spent so much time putting it together, I figured you have to suffer through it :).

Just 4 Fun!: June 2009
http://derekandlaurajust4fun.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2009. Derek raced in this year's Salem Triathlon on May 30. It is a fun race to go do because Salem is so close to where Derek's parents live and it is beautiful in the spring! Last years race got rained out so this year we were hoping for great weather and we got it! It was a beautiful morning for the race and Derek did well! We (I) were happy that he wasn't ailing for very long afterward! It's no fun to hear whining over self inflicted pain! Way to go Derek! We are proud of you!

M&Ems: June 2011
http://mandemsblog.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. We don't have much room for a garden where we live right now, so this year we have 4 pots and a planter box. Actually it's just about the right size for Ben and I to take care of. Ben was so excited when we got to pull radishes a couple of weeks ago. (He even tried one- it was hot until I peeled the red skin off.). Yesterday he got to use a KNIFE to cut squash. What is it with boys and kinves? Here's our little garden! Visiting Old Friends and Making New Ones. Nice Ears Em :).

M&Ems: July 2010
http://mandemsblog.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. We had swimming lessons! Baby Sister loved the water; I couldn't get her to climb out to practice getting out of the pool. She would just get mad and push to get back in. Big Brother wasn't so sure he liked jumping in the deep end of the pool, but liked everything else. On our last trip out to the Bay Area, we took the kids to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Ben and Sofi both loved looking at the fish. Sofi was more willing to smile for a photo, while we had to catch Ben off guard.
