Swimming

We took the kids swimming to the Lindon Aquatic center. This was the second time we had gone to this pool and my kids love it. They have all sorts of things for kids to do and for about two and a half hours we went from area to area with the kids.

Hunter has gotten very brave since he took swimming lessons. He kept making us have contests to see who could stay under water the longest. Madi just put her face under water.


Madi loved going on the slide.

This was the only time we got hunter to go on the little slide. He was too busy playing dunk with daddy. We were able to get him and madi down the big yellow slide many times.

Sweet Abby

We were trying to get some pictures of abby, but after many attempts we could never move past the deer in the headlights look. We took about ten pictures and every picture had the same face. She still is cute even if she has picture phobia like the rest of the family.

You are my sunshine

Hunter and Madi love to sing this song to Abby. They wanted to sing it together at first, then they wanted a chance in the spotlight by themselves, so sorry about all the videos.

Abbigail Gray MortensenSo I realized that I am a horrible mom and have no pictures of abby on our blog. Here is one of the cute pictures my cousin Jami took when Abby was only a week and a half old. There are many more and they are all so cute but here is one for now.

Park City Centry

Brady and his dad (Cody was sick) did a race in Park City. I was very excited because I got to shop why they rode. They both did a great job and said it was the best ride they have ever done. Great Job!

Provo Triathlon

We did our first triathlon today down in Provo. It was alot of fun, but some parts were definitely harder than others. I would have to say that we aren't the best swimmers in the world and the group start was not as fun as I had hoped for. Being in that much open water was a little worrisome as it was, then with the start having people on all four sides of you hitting and kicking you, made it a little scarier. After the a hundred yards or so when everyone spread out a little, my breathing calmed down and it was enjoyable the rest of the way. It was a half mile swim, 13 mile bike ride, and 3.2 mile run. The overall standings went me, Erin, Cody, then my dad finishing strong in the back of the pack. But Erin won the swim and my dad was 3rd all the way until the run when Cody caught and passed him. Overall I thought it was alot of fun going out and doing that. It was a fun day and we followed it up by going to Nephi for brunch and to celebrate an early fathers day.




The wetsuits and swim caps were definitely not flattering, but they worked nice.

Baby Abby Has arrived

This was as we were getting ready to leave the hopsital.

Baby+Abby+068.JPG"> Madi is so ecxcited to be a big sister.

On June 1st at 6:50 in the morning we welcomed the newest member of our family. Abbigail Gray Mortensen. We were going to just name her abby but with much pushing from Madison we decided we would name her abbigail and call her abby. She weighed 7 lbs 1 ounce, and was 18 inches long. She has lots of hair which is unusual for our family. She is very healthy and the kids are so excited to have a new sister.
