Bye Bye Ezra

Hey guys,It's the end of an era at the Lowell house. Our Uncle Ezra is moving out. We'll miss him but he's got a great set up. I'll let him tell everyone more. Here are two fun pictures we took when he shaved off his facial hair.

Our Fun Trip

Hello everyone! We've made it back from our 3 week vacation. It was wonderful and relaxing! The first week I spent with all you lovely people in beautiful California. Apparantly Trayton and Tustin did perfectly well without me. Never cried or whined for me or "dad". I wonder, is that good or bad?? :) I enjoyed going to the beach-- although I got an awful sunburn on my legs.

I went to the movies with Mom and Dad twice! I felt so loved being pampered by my dear mother everyday! I went to the temple with Ezra, Mom and Dad. Getting my fill of temple trips before little Tacker/Trekker arrives.

Then on Wednesday, Tiff and I went to Mary's "music makers." And hung out all day with Debbie. We had a lot of fun talking and watching the kids.

I also had the neat opportunity to see little Hannah be blessed. I had so much fun getting to know all my little nieces and nephews and spending time with them.

Every morning Mom and I went walking and enjoyed the views of Via Monserate. Since I've left, Timmy has taken on the walking routine with Mom, so I've heard! :)

So, sadly I had to leave, but I was very anxious to see my little ones again!! I don't think I could have been one more day without them. I drove straight to Salmon from Salt Lake. I know where I'm supposed to be- I'm a mother. So, they never really whined or cried for me, so they must have been doing just fine. Adam (Travis' youngest brother) later told me that Trayton and Tustin woke up early one morning, found a jar of peanut butter and spread it all over the living room furniture!! Oy, that must've been frustrating. I'm kind of glad I wasn't there!! Hehe.

We went "branding" which is the act of branding cattle with a hot iron. A few people get on horse back and rope the little calves to the "branding area" and then someone holds them down while they are clipped (in the ear), branded and then given shots- like a vaccine (no Trayton is not giving the shot in this picture!). There was a fire going and some marshmallows. So Trayton kept burning the marshmallows and giving them to grampa Kevin. He must of burnt half a bag of marshmallows!

And here's one more picture of these cute Keller kids.

Sam's 1st Beach Adventures

Sam had a great time at the beach. The first time he just slept, but the second time we decked him out in a swim suit and he wiggled around on the blanket in the shade of his car seat! Isn't he cute!?!

Samuel was blessed April 13, 2008. He looked to handsome in his little suit that Aunt Tiff made for him. He and his cousin Hannah had a fun time playing together. Hurray! for cousins.

Hannah's Blessing day

Here is our little "blessed" baby. Just look at her with her cousin Samuel who is only 9 days older!
It was so fun that our whole origional Holt family was together again! This video was also on Hannah's blessing day. Enjoy!

Mom & Dad's Practice Round

Hey everyone,
It's been absolutely fun being here in California with all my family! I figured out how to video through my digital camera, so here's Mom & Dad practicing their song "Two Lost Souls" for their music group.

We look forward to the finish product (out fits included!) and stay-tuned for the video on our blog site!!
