Diaper Duty

So those of you with babies know just how many diapers you change day in and day out.  Because of that, I give Chase the "opportunity" to change Mckay's diaper as often as I can.  I figure, why rob him of all the joys of parenthood?  I'm glad I do, otherwise I would have missed out on this funny moment.

Jackson Hole

This Labor Day weekend we went up to Rexburg to help Chelsea move into her new apartment at BYU-Idaho.  Once done, the family took a trip to Jackson Hole for a day.  Chase has been trying to get us there for over a year now, so it was fun to be there at last.  It was absolutely gorgeous!  We took a trip around Jenny Lake, then down to Teton Village.  We only had one day there, but it was worth it.
I love this picture of Chase and Mckay, totally worn out after a long day in Jackson.

Summertime 2010 was the best summer ever! Here is a brief update of what we did:

On May 1, 2010, we had a baby! Mckay Chase England was born at 6 lbs, 14 oz. and was 20 inches long.















We were two very proud parents, and both agree that Mckay is his father's son.

After a month of hazy adjustment to having a baby, Chase and I went to California with my family. We stayed in the England's California house, and spent a wonderful week at the beach, Disneyland, etc. It was nice to be with family who could babysit while I took some much-needed naps:)

Anne was an excellent babysitter! She and the grandkids are hanging out in the front room of the California House.

We also visited the San Juan Capistrano Mission near the California House.  It was so pretty and fun to learn about where we were staying.  In the background, you can see Talia, loving the fish in the pond.

Hot tubbing anyone?  We loved hanging out in the hot tub after a fun day at Disneyland, sight seeing, etc.
Mckay's first trip to Disneyland!!
We loved getting to go with family and making some fun memories:)
