Yes, I know I'm 6 months behind! I hope to have the blog updated by the end of January. Thanks for checking back! We hope you have a Merry Christmas!

2008 Blog Book

I finally printed my 2008 blog.  I worked with blurb.com software. They have a tool where I can customize my layouts. It made it a lot better. But it was still a lot of work. A couple days later I found a link on pinterest where a lady makes her blog books every year and I think they looked great. I was worried mine wouldn't look so good because I just tried to do it as simply as I could and fit it in as small a space as I could so it wouldn't cost so much. And because when I uploaded the pics back in 2008 I had to shrink them so they would upload, the pictures are smaller than I would like. But I think it turned out great! This means the following ones will be even better!!

The boys were enjoying it today!

A Couple Firsts

While we were at the baseball game, I took Enzo to the bathroom to change his diaper and while in there I decided that I had to go. But I really didn't want to take him back to Jon and then come back....so I successfully went pee while holding Enzo. It was a little weird.

And the other day he pooped right before he fell asleep for his nap. So I changed his diaper while he was sleeping and he didn't wake up!

I'm a little surprised that these firsts came with my third baby!

Karate

We've been talking about putting Zac in karate for like 2-3 years. But it was just a big investment that I didn't feel like we could make. This summer, we decided to finally try it out. Zac LOVED it and so we put him in. Max seems to like it too. But I don't know how long he'll like it. So we'll see what he decides. We also registered them for karate summer camp. They both LOVED it!!!  It wore them out pretty good though, which made for tougher afternoons that I expected. I was very grateful to put them in the camp because it got them involved fast and furious. They got to know people faster and they even got to test for their next belt at the end of the week. Normally, they only test for the next belt 4 times a year.

This is the last day of camp and before they got their promotions!

They are starting the promotion. It took about an hour total. They had the boys do forms, self defense, blocks and kicks. All the black belts judged to see if they were ready for the next belt.

Enzo just hanging out patiently waiting

This is Zac doing Taikyoku Shodan

Max is doing some self defense here

Max getting his white belt yellow stripe promotion! He's a little ninja!

Zac got his yellow belt!

Way to go boys!

Enzo: 4 Months

At his first birthday I'll put all the pictures together and see the difference all at once!

Munk Sibling Get Together

Sarah, Jon's sister usually plans a sibling reunion each summer. She lives in the Layton area and it was so fun to have all the siblings there this year! We only live about 2 hours from Sarah, but still we only see them for big family events.

This was a pirate game they brought. The boys had fun with it. Even I thought it looked pretty fun! You push the pirate in the barrel and put knives all around trying to get the pirate to jump out. A random hole is a different one each time.

It was great to have a pavilion because it was rainy off and on through the whole day.

Again, Enzo was a champ and even took a couple cat naps in his carseat.

I love merry go rounds when I was a kid! I didn't know they still had them at parks anymore! Emily took the rest of these pics.

I thought this was a really good pic of our family!

All the cousins, except Ammon.

Can't Get Enough Enzo

As hard as its been to have #3, I've also enjoyed each little stage so much more than with the other kids.  I think I realize how precious it is and how quickly it goes by. The things we learn with age. :)

I just thought Enzo was cute standing there on his thick little legs.

This is what he looks like after 9 hours of sleep, right before he gets up to eat around the 5a hr.

I've been thinking of documenting the everyday stuff more often. That is what our lives are made up of. So this is my attempt hopefully it won't be too boring.

Jon has some event to be to so we spent the day and evening in Provo. We got home late, Enzo was tired and hungry and needed a bath from sweating through the hot day!

Again, I just thought he looked cute here

Enzo LOVES to chew on anything. Including his fingers. So I got him some teethers hoping he'd take to those. He loves this rubbery ring, but he can't hold it for very long.

This is a little stuffed dog Maryanne got him. Its fun to see him enjoying his toys more.
