Happy Birthday Eli - July 28th (Yes... This IS late!)

I love that we sing to this kid twice... but since we don't get the reaction that we want, everyone just quits! Hahaha!! You can hear Noah singing his "woo's" if you pay attention... these kids are SO CUTE! They definately get that from their mom! I just wish it didn't take me this long to update our family blog. Anyway, I love this video, Happy Birthday Bug!

5 Generations

Sweet Grandma (my great grandmother), Grandma Suzann, my Mom... Dawn, me, and my 2 beautiful boys (Eli and Noah) sat down for an awesome five generation picture. Sweet Grandma flew in from Hawaii (yep, she had to leave paradise) and we caught Grandma Suzann before she headed off to Mexico for another one of her adventures. Come on... how many people can sit 5 generations down for something like this? :)

My sister Jenni and her family were back east and were not able to make it, but everone else was there. My mom's sister Lisa and her family even made the long 7 minute drive from their house to Jason's to be with us! :) I'm not even going to try naming everyone in this one... it is a little past 2am... and I'm just not in the mood. :)

My Dad and his boys... Josh, Jason , and myself.

Family Pictures

Noah and Eli did so well considering that we just did family pictures on my side the day before (those will be coming soon). The Bigelow side is really growing fast. Families from left to right are our little family, Raul & Jana and their son Josh, Erin's mom and dad, Beck and Dennis and their kids Ian, Taran, and Alexah, then Brent and Shay's kids Alec and Addison.

Lowes Delivery Truck vs. Cervelo Soloist

So May is bike month... visit www.mayisbikemonth.com. Anyway, so I have been riding to work on my beautiful new Cervelo Soloist bike every day except Monday & Wednesday when I'm at school. On Friday morning I was on East Lincoln Parkway crossing over Twelve Bridges when a Lowe's delivery truck decided to turn right, right in front of me... No blinkers, no warning, just right into me. I'm ok... had a great scare, but the beloved bike is done with. I was considering NOT sharing this experience with Erin... nothing happened to me, and I don't want her to worry about me, but as fate would have it my sister-in-law pulled up to see if I was ok... :) So my brother Josh came and picked me up and took me home. While telling Erin about the scary experience Noah woke up and so I told him that I got into an accident with a truck. He looked at me... thought just a second and then said, "awh man, that is freakin' unbelievable!" :) We couldn't help but laugh... at the same time it looks like dad has to watch what he says while he is driving! Anyway, it is good to be in one piece, and be with the family... I just hope that Lowe's gets my bike replaced... more to come on that.

Jason & Mel

We love having family live so close to us. Jason and Melody came up for dinner and to give Noah and I haircuts... Eli just loved playing with little Evelyn while Dallin and Noah played outside.

Every time I look at Evelyn I imagine their blog from Easter Sunday... she is in a cute little dress and the caption reads "For those of you who always wondered what Jason would look like in a dress." :) If you haven't seen it click on the link to their page and just scroll down... :)

No Time To Rest

These kids go go go go all the time. Noah fell asleep while playing on the couch... he fought off napping for as long as he could before it caught up to him.

Elijah is getting very fast, he will follow you wherever you go... I went outside to fix a sprinkler and when I turned around to head back into the house someone was blow-fishing the glass door. I grabbed the camera but I couldn't capture anything like the first ones he did.

Family Bath Time

Noah and Eli love bath time. Eli thinks that everything that big brother does is so cool and so funny. Noah loves to use the bath colors to change the water... Eli loves to play with whatever Noah has at that moment. Poor Noah isn't very good at sharing yet. :)
