<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">I tore out the winter garden on Saturday, my mom helped us put it in last conference. Anyway, we needed room for the pumpkins (from mom's donated seeds). We probably planted 8 or 9 seeds in a 4 x 3 box. If they all survive we are going to have to find some friends to take a vine, we won't have enough room. But I am happy to have the vines spill out of the box and into that end of the yard anyway. So I filled 4 pots with parsley transplants, gave 2 pots away and dried what was left. Well, what I had patience to cut, wash and dry that is. All that work and I've got about 3/4 of my mason jar full of parsley smelling parsley. I'd say it is a success.</span></div>

For those still reading . . . we also planted watermelon, sweet corn, 2 tomato plants and a red and a yellow pepper plant. I left some carrots and onions in the ground to use as we need them, which will need to be before the watermelon and pumpkins take over!</div>

Grand success of this winter's garden: Snow peas. None really made it into the house, which was my intention, but we would frequently go out with the kids to munch on them as they were freshly picked.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She's six now, lost her first tooth and has to do homework each afternoon. Please, make time stop. She is growing up quick, but in a lot of ways she hasn't changed. She still laughs easily, giggles like a maniac at her own jokes, talks without stop some days, loves making friends (even if she cannot remember their names), and she tries to watch out for others. </div>

My sweet rascal boy. He is a charmer with his big blue eyes and a smile that seems to take over his entire face. But don't let him fool you, he takes a real delight in mischief every once in a while, especially if it involves getting Anna's attention.</div>

{KaiKai}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kai has proven to be his own self. Not to be confused with any other of my babies. He has been the most content, the most independent and curious. He'd rather be scooting around on the floor (no crawling for this guy) than in my arms. He'd rather eat table food than any puree I have tried. He had 8 teeth by 9 months no more hair than when he was born.</div>

This is is scrunch nose stink face. I get this face constantly. Sometimes he makes it in displeasure (as seen here), sometimes he does the scrunch with a grin. With the grin I think it looks like Elvis when he curled his lip up.<br />

Who could resist gorgeous Sedona for a little spring camping? Not us! Once <a href="http://mikeandtia.blogspot.com/2009/04/sedona.html" target="_blank">again</a> we camped at Oak Creek. This time we mostly stayed out of town, played by the river and went for one of the greatest hikes we've ever taken with the kids.</div>

Kai did great and didn't mind being all snugged up in the wrap while we explored. It was fun to take him camping for the first time and to use Mike's new birthday tent for the first time as well. Awesome night shot of the tent <a href="http://sherwoodphotos.blogspot.com/2011/04/camping-near-sedona-az.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<br />
No matter what else is on the agenda for a camping trip, if there is water, we've gotta go get our feet wet and throw some rocks into it. Oak creek is perfect for just such an activity.<br />

As I mentioned, this was the greatest hike I've ever taken with the kids. Annabelle and Asa had their imaginations going full speed the entire time. Every bit of terrain that we encountered turned into something else (i.e. fallen trees were elephant bones, ditches extending out from the river were where witches were hiding). It turned out to be quite the adventure.<br />

Success! Besides the unwelcome heat, our Easter Egg Hunt was a success. My great friend Julie and I teamed up together this year and threw an Easter Egg Hunt and invited all the primary kids in our ward. The fathers met earlier in the morning and hid a couple hundred eggs - the kids came excited and ready to find 'the golden egg'. </div>

We had a great time. Unfortunately because of the heat the chocolate melted (causing some eggs to be infested with ants before the kids could get to them), and we didn't end up playing field games after a yummy lunch because everyone just wanted to get out of the sun - - but the hunt was a success, a big potluck lunch was fantastic and we got to socialize with lot of friends.<br />

Mike's other birthday present came in the mail yesterday, a new lens. The kids and I were in the backyard when he came home with it and was ready to try it out. I can't believe the amazing shots he got of the kids who were just standing on the porch. The technique he used is called "high key".</div>

For any of you curious photographers, this is how Mike described his process: "I had the kids standing in the shade, in front of a wall that was in the sunlight. I used the pup up flash, which limits the shutter speed to 1/180 of a second. This makes the sunlit was go to bright with, which makes for some fun images in the style called high key."<br />

Yeah, I married a photographer stud.</div>

For <a href="http://www.lds.org/family/home-evening?lang=eng" target="_blank">FHE </a>this week we decided to enjoy our backyard and tryout out some new fun toys. First off was Mike's new tent. He got it for his birthday last week {Happy Birthday Mike!}. I thought we had enough tents, but then we had another baby - and our three man is getting a little too close for comfort.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHO8JByHLU0cWXyoas-hn5jqFNc3kQRJy5MS_4nRJq4HpP1xdsr8uC1OhejGbzn29HBZD2q-VUNRkVRbOKVxbmupYqwBXB_n0Riqm-MvCd3qUr79i40maLQHLKdzkhoNaxjC1TpxnHKas/s1600/IMGP6547.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHO8JByHLU0cWXyoas-hn5jqFNc3kQRJy5MS_4nRJq4HpP1xdsr8uC1OhejGbzn29HBZD2q-VUNRkVRbOKVxbmupYqwBXB_n0Riqm-MvCd3qUr79i40maLQHLKdzkhoNaxjC1TpxnHKas/s320/IMGP6547.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
This was our first time setting it up and Annabelle and Asa couldn't be more thrilled with it. There are two rooms, a gazillion pockets and compartments and room to stand up! This is practically a hotel compared with our much loved three man.<br />

Next up, after the tent was safely tucked away, was a little painting with bubbles. I normally wouldn't be brave enough to try something like this - - but after seeing pictures of my sister-in- law l<a href="http://djandjessifam.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-new-favorite-picture.html" target="_blank">etting her kids use them indoors</a>, I figured I needed to loosen up a bit and try it out!<br />

We set out big sheets of white paper in hopes of catching a few bubbles on them and creating some cool masterpieces. It was really fun, pretty messy but crayola cleans up easy enough.<br />

I think after Mike took the picture of <a href="http://www.mikeandtia.blogspot.com/2011/01/1-week.html" target="_blank">Kai in my grandma's suitcase</a> I really fell in love with old fashioned, sepia toned photos again. So to mark Kai's <i>almost</i> 2 month {and because Asa really loves trains}, we took a trip to the train museum for a little sibling photo shoot.</div>

We had a perfect, slow Saturday morning this last weekend. With no one in town and no where to be it felt like our first truly lazy wake up since Kai was born. Annabelle and Asa joined us in our room to snuggle up with the baby. They all looked so darling in their pajamas and with their bed head I grabbed the camera and got a few priceless photos of the kids adoring their sweet little brother.</div>

My entire family plus Nona were able to come down for the weekend of Kai's blessing. Mike's parents had just returned from Colorado so they didn't come back but we felt their love and support. This was the first time since my mom's cancer diagnosis that we were all together. Everyone else had been home at Christmas, but I was too close to my due date to travel. We made the most of being together by taking family pictures, celebrating Jeremiah, (my nephew's), 2nd birthday and of course Kai's blessing.<br />

The original plan was for some family members to share a hotel and some to sleep here. As the special weekend got closer and closer everyone said that they would rather sleep at our house. No one wanted to miss out on the fun! So we slept all 14 of us at our house and it was fun, so long as privacy wasn't a priority.<br />
With Jeremiah and Asa both loving trains we had to take a trip to Desert Breeze park. They have a carousel and a train to ride. It was the perfect thing for little boys!<br />

It was really fun to see Jeremiah and Asa together. They are only 4 months apart in age and I am hoping that they will be good buddies. Every now and then we'd catch them doing something silly like this and we'd laugh.<br />

My mom stuck around for the rest of the week after everyone else had to head home. We didn't actually take any pictures of her stay, the kids had colds, so she just helped me take care of them. We made chicken noodle soup, lots of smoothies and went for long walks in the neighborhood each afternoon for fresh air. I kinda wished we had been able to do some fun things but maybe a low key week (while keeping Annabelle home from school) was just was we needed. I just wish we hadn't sent her home with our sickie germs.</div>

We decided to bless Kai in church earlier this month. February 6th is a significant day for our family, as it is my maternal grandfather, Papa Campbell's, birthday. My mom remembered that my older brother Adam was also blessed on Papa's birthday. My mom felt well enough to travel and so we seized the opportunity to be together and introduce our new babe to the McKean clan.<br />

Mike blessed Kai with my Dad, Adam, David, Bishop Campbell and friends Michael Brande and Loren Smith also stood in the circle. We recently took these photos Kai in his blessing outfit which was the same outfit that Mike and Asa were blessed in.<br />

My friend Katie sent this blanket in a package this week and Mike thought it looked so soft he had to use it in this week's photo shoot. Thank you Katie!</div>

How am I holding up? Pretty well. Sunday at church I was sitting in Primary and I started FREEZING! I didn't know what was going on so I just sat there with Kai in my lap. Over the course of the rest of the evening I felt off and on better and worse. Once I had a fever and noticed that I felt like Asa had elbowed me in the chest I put two and two together. Mastitis! My awesome Doc called the Rx in for me and I am feeling better. Thanks to my good friend Rickie for picking Annabelle up for school Monday morning - I was a little too out of it to drive. Other than that I am doing well. You should know by now that Mike does all the real work around here anyway!</div>

When Mike's parents took off earlier this week they left me with a clean house and a full fridge. Annabelle had the day off of school for a holiday. With nothing else to do but curl up with my baby and a book, the kids and I camped out in the toy room for the afternoon. It was all I could do to keep from laughing when after an hour or so I looked up to see what the pair were up to.</div>
