Erik & Skye in NYC

Erik and I just took a trip to visit Bry & Teresa & their 3 boys at their new home in New York.  Bryant got a teaching job at West Point Academy so we got to see his campus and visit the city.

And here is us hiking in the back yard

Thank you to Bry & Teresa for letting us visit, we had a wonderful time!

Coen and Clyde Costley

We are happy to announce the arrival of our twin boys.  Coen Chad Costley was born May 22nd, 2012 at 3:12pm, he was 7.4 lbs. and was followed 15 mins later by his brother Clyde Jay Costley who was 7.8 lbs.  They both measured in at 18 1/2".

Mindy was amazing and we were blessed with many small and large miracles the day of their births.  These pictures are from my cell phone and not the best quality.  We did have a photographer along with us and her many, many great pictures can be found on my wife's facebook page.  So befriend Mindy Robison Costley now if you haven't already or however that works...

Thank you for every thought and prayer on our behalf, we are unreasonably over-blessed.  Love you all and see you soon.

Surprise at 10 on the news

I wonder how many people in Utah were like Fred last night.  He's watching the news at 10 on channel 4 waiting for the sports to start.  All of a sudden he sees a kid he recognizes and starts yelling for Helen to "come and see who's on the news!"

The link below should let you see it.

Visitors from the West

We received a phone call Saturday night from Trina saying she, Clark and Jeannine were in town! We were so excited! They came to church with us and then over for lunch. It was such a fun visit and the kids loved them! Mycah loved Jeannine and made her walk her to class and everything!

Seaman Family: part 2

Ali playing on the junior high volleyball team. She has also started playing the violin.

(Sorry my posts are out of order; it's my first time. Just read in reverse.)

Danny has boundless energy and will soon perform in "Joseph, and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat."

Lizzie (7) and Hannah (4) certainly have their rough and roudy times. Liz enjoys karate and being a spy, while Hannah puts on her own make-up for her daily princess fashion show.

Megan is 21 months old and needs that sweet smile to make up for her excessive clinginess and random screaming fits at night.

Clark and I are busy trying to enjoy and keep up with these kids.

We can't wait to see you all at Camp Beaver 2012!

Seaman Family

Our family is busier than ever, and we have more reasons to be happy than ever before, too. With 6 kids that each have their own activities, things are always hopping at our place. Here's a list of names to help you keep them straight (from oldest to youngest)

Clark, Daylyn, Katie, Alison, Danny, Lizzie, Hannah, and Megan

Katie and Ali have been busy with volleyball and are starting on basketball season. They both played setter on their volleyball teams.
