Rainy Day

We love August in the ELP. Lost of rainy fun. A nice change of pace from the dry hot days of spring and early summer.

First one is titled "Forgiveness" the second is "My New Life"

I feel compelled to share these heartfelt, inspiring links with all who choose to view them below. I highly recommend you do, but get a tissue. You may have already seen them on lds.org if you have watch them both again it's good for the soul.

Its a girl!

That is right we are about to add yet another girl to the family. For my family it is going to 6 to one. I must say that I am super happy though. I would not trade another girl for the world, only a boy. But we have two more chances for that if not, it is time to turn to science to achieve our goals. Well my goals. I don't think Jenny cares. Plus I have spent my whole life being bossed around my stinking girls its my lot in life. Look on the bright side we don't have to buy anymore clothes.

Shoop!

Elizabeth is so funny! Her new favorite word is "shoop" translated that equals shoot. It is awesome when something goes amiss she says "shoop". E. has a funny little song that is titled Happy.. It goes like this. happy... happy....happy, happy, happy, happy! I believe someday she will work in Nashville as a singer songwriter.

4th of July

Fireworks, swimming and gun safety makes for the one heck of a good weekend!

Elizabeth does not like the sound of fireworks. Jenny would move her hands away and E. would put them right back.

This is the gun operation safety class that all the kids had to attend to shoot and if you know the Hatches then you know that all the kids where scarred out of their minds!

Cutest swimmer ever.

Sleepy TIme Meals

Sometime our food is so good that E. simply can't stay awake long enough to eat it. So enjoy!

Banged Up Wednesday!

Today has been a slightly exciting day! Here's how it went down. I was at home and had just finishing working out and was about to get into the shower when i received a call from Jenny. She had been swimming at a ward members home. I thought that she was calling to tell me she was on her way home. Much to my chagrin she, informed me that she had been in an accident. She was so calm about it at first. I thought that she had just backed into somebody, but i was wrong yet again. She was turning left and did not see the car to her left and was side wiped. Much to my relief, Jenny, new baby,Elizabeth and my niece Nikelle are all well and safe. I am truly grateful that God was watching over them. The car is at the repair shop and we are going to be paying higher car insurance premiums but I don't care. I would take that over injury any day. Gratefully the lady involved in the accident does not have any major injuries. We didn't take photos before they towed the car. But it wasn't that bad as far as i can tell. Side air bags deployed and i would say they have to come out fast and furious to rip the ceiling fabric like that. So anyway Jenny, E and the Fetus are all well. I am off to get a rent a car.
