we had 3 kids for a week!

Sam's bro Joe and his wife Emily recently moved up here to utah. Last week, only a week or two after moving in, Joe and Emily left for a cruise that they had booked months ago..... leaving their 3 kids in our hands (along with Emily's bro Owen and wife Alyssa). We would watch them at night from around dinner time, til they left for school the next morning, then Owen and Alyssa would take Nate (the 3 year old) during the day, and also watch the kids after they got home from school til we were done with our classes. It was sort of a complicated schedule but it worked out great. and some may say "well i bet that was good birth control for yall...." LOL but the truth is these kids were great!!! aside from them waking us up around 6am every morning, we had a lot of fun. it was also fun to visit with Owen and Alyssa and get to know them a little better when we would trade off. Anywho, the only pics i got were of when we took the kids ice skating down in provo on Saturday afternoon. we seriously had a blast!

this is sam chasing down nate (the 3 year old). they gave him this walker thing to help him from falling. in the beginning it was pretty tough for him to stay on his feet but this was about an hour later. he was totally speeding across the ice! by the end of the day, he was skating by himself. this kid is such a fast learner! i am pretty sure he gets his daredevil fearlessness from his mom haha.. aaron, the 8 year old is in the white and red shirt. both boys are serious speed demons! its hilarious.charity, the 6 year old. she is so cute!
