Miscarriage #5, pregnancy #7 would have been due this month (Oct 2017). Thought I'd post the picture of how we were going to announce it, just for memories sake.

Hand in hand
Had to post a picture of this great moment. We dropped McCord off at The Nerd Store in the Valley Fair Mall for work. Coming out of the mall, my kids held each other's hand and walked down the long path to the car together. How beautiful this sight was. Laughing together and walking. Priceless moment

Good kids get rewards - marshmellows
Good kids. We love our kids especially when they are well behaved.
So we had marshmellows roasted on the indoor stove today for a special treat!

New Car (1999 Camry)
We bought a 1999 Toyota Camry from my brother Joseph this week. It has AC so we can get through the summer. We think we'll call her Suzie.
I can't remember if we've posted pictures of our other cars. These 2 cars we settled with after the car fiascos of 2014. We bought and sold 6 cars that year. These 2 cars have been getting us through since that year. Our 2001 Isuzu Rodeo ("Aggie car") and our 2002 Nissan Altima ("Gerty").

House project 2017: New carpet
New carpet in our upstairs living room, hallways, stairs, and landing downstairs.
Before picture. White carpet. It always looked dirty and gray and was poor quality.
We are thrilled to have brand new carpet, pad and transition boards. Thanks to my parents, Craig & Trudy for such a great gift.

Larsen Family Reunion 2017 w/ Fire
Our annual family reunion was sadly brought to an abrupt and early end today as we had to evacuate the cabin we were staying in because of the massive fire at Brian Head. We are very grateful that everyone in our family is safe and sound. We have heard that it may be weeks until we know the extent of the damage and if the stuff that my family wasn't able to grab is salvageable.
Please keep those affected by the fire, and those fighting it, in your prayers. We certainly are.

Memorial Day 2017 hike to Canyon Falls
Memorial Day this year we helped the living instead of the dead. We went and washed all the windows in my grandma Nola and grandpa Ronald's house. Then we went on a hike to Canyon Falls waterfall in Ogden Canyon. Caught some photos. I love them.
Especially like the one of my grandma reading stories to Talia.
