Serena Dawn, Nicholas Isaac Steven, and Boise

This week has been a busy one in my (Hardman side) extended family. We had two new babies born this past week. On July 15th my sister Chelsea had her baby girl Serena Dawn. She is sooo adorable. We went up to visit her in the hospital. Here are the pictures:

My dad also stopped by while we were there:

Then on my Dad's birthday (Monday July 20th), Isaac and his wife Jenny gave birth to their adorable little boy Nicholas Isaac Steven. My mom was up there in Boise with them on Monday, but Jared and I went up Tuesday through Thursday to play with the girls and visit Jared's sister.

On Tuesday we drove up and played with the girls at their apartment, took them swimming (and accidentally stole their pool key. Sorry, I will mail it out tomorrow!!!). I, of course, forgot to get any actual pictures of the baby since I was so busy having fun playing with the girls.

Tuesday night we spent at Ang's. Then Wednesday I went and picked up Ike's kids and brought them to Ang's to play for the day:

Xander and Alexandra playing in the toy box

Then all six kids sitting down for lunch!

After lunch we all went swimming. Jacquelyn and Kathleen had matching pink with white polka dotted swim suits.

After swimming we sat the kids down to watch a movie (it only lasted about 5 minutes)

Xander and Brandon playing on the steps:

The next day Ang's ward had a primary pioneer "trek" and activity. So I brought Ike's girls over again to play. Kathleen and Jacquelyn were BEST friends, and held hands the ENTIRE walk.

Alex and Cody got to ride in the uncovered wagon.

Here are all the kids posing for the camera

Then we had lunch

Then played games. This is Jacquelyn and Brandon playing foosball

And Xander and Cody playing a computer game.

I forgot their swimsuits that day, so we played water games instead. Including water balloons out back, and washing my car (thanks guys!)

When it was time to go Jacquelyn was soooo sad! She and Kathleen hugged FOREVER!!! They did not want to say good bye.

This is JJ pouting in the car, on their way home.

And I had to document that ALL THREE car seats fit in the back of my car. It was tricky, but we did it!

Thanks again to Ang for hosting my babysitting days. You are such a wonderful person/hostess. Also congratulations to all the new babies! Sorry Ike and Jenny that I forgot a picture of your precious little boy! Fun times were had by all!!!
