He's Here!!!

We are pleased and proud to announce the birth of our newest little Lemon...

Welcome Grant Luke Lemon!

Born 9/10/14 at 1:25 in the morning.

8 lbs. 8 oz, 20.5 inches long.

We LOVE our Baby Grant!!!

p.s. I'm SO glad he came 2 weeks early! :)

Fist Day of School 2014

Here are a few pictures of my cuties on the first day of school!

Janae is in 1st grade,

Jacey is in 3rd grade,

and Eric understands that it will be 2 more years before he goes to school (we took his picture anyway). :)

This is a little project I completed before the kids went back to school: a backpack rack! I love that they each have a place for their stuff the moment they get home!

And here's what I decide to do when the girls are at school and Eric is napping: I chop and freeze 20 POUND of ONIONS! Chopping onions is one of my least favorite jobs in the world!!! I made a make-shift kitchen on the back patio and went to work...

The key to cutting onions is definitely the goggles. That's the only way I survive! The neighbors probably think I'm nuts!!!

And this, my friends, is what 20 lbs. of onions look like when they're done and ready to freeze. :)

Spring & Summer 2014

We had a very busy spring! After learning that we were expecting again, we found a house, put an offer on it, and it was accepted! We moved during my second trimester. It feels so nice to be settled in our 1st home. We are enjoying it so much...I hope to post some pictures of it in the near future. :) School ended and we enjoyed a FABULOUS summer vacation to Idaho and Utah. The best part was seeing family! It has been several years since we have seen the majority of them. Our children got to see Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, and play with lots of Cousins! We enjoyed making so many wonderful memories. These pictures document just SOME of the fun times we enjoyed together! Hoover Dam!

The girls got to try out Grandma Lemon's dress-up clothes and play her beautiful baby grand piano.

Dane and his brother, Geoff, hiked Mount Timpanogos - beeeeeautiful! They came back limping & burnt to a crisp! :)

Cousins, cousins, cousins...fun, fun, fun!!! (I feel bad we didn't get a picture with Spencer and Audrey in it! Sorry, we still love you two!!!)

Jumping on the tramp with Dad & cousins.

Four wheelers were definitely a hit - thanks Sara!

We always find bushes that grow candy in Grandma and Grandpa's yard! Those are some pretty talented shrubs! :)

Fun games...discovered that one little miss can be a little competitive!

Cute kids in the camping chairs I used as a kid. Love that little face!

Trying Grandpa Luke's pontoon boat.

Discovering how slither & slimy worms can be! (The girls caught them so that they could go fishing)

Janae trying some fishing!

Jacey fishing too!

Waterfalls in Idaho Falls.

On a nature walk with Grandma. :)

My little stud muffin riding in the truck while the others took turns on motor bikes.

Jacey getting ready to ride...

Janae looks so tiny compared to Daddy!

BBQ in the woods - such a beautiful day!

Dane and I spent part of one day in Rexburg ID. We visited the beautiful temple and the surrounding BYU-Idaho campus. Such an amazing place!

Running through the sprinklers on soft green grass. (Grass isn't quite this wonderful in AZ) :)

We stopped at Cabela's and the kids LOVED seeing the fish, and all the animal displays.

One of the kids' favorite places to play in Grandma & Grandpa Lemon's new house...the yellow play house. So cute!

Games and races!

Lemon family picture!

Another picture on the playground - my favorite!

Cute picture of Sara & kids - makes me smile!

Lemon reunion at the rodeo...yeeeeeehaw! Matt, Bethany, and their 3 kiddos!

Clay, Andrea, and their 2 cuties!

Barak, Lauralee, and their 4 sweet kids! (I'm holding one in the background) :)

The girls' favorite: the stunt rider!
