We are off...

...to DISNEYLAND! Blake and I are so excited! See you all in a week!

My Sweet Grandpa...

...made this amazing table for Blake. When my mom was 3 he made a similar table for her and I grew up playing on it. Well when I was in California for my grandmas funeral in January we were watching an old home video of my mom's third birthday and we remembered the table. I made a remark like "oh I wish they made tables like that these days" and three months later this arrives on my door! My grandpa still had some of the same materials he used for my moms table over 50 years ago! This gift is truly priceless! Thanks Grandpa! We love you!

3 months old

My baby girl is 3 months and on one hand it seems like yesterday , but on the other it seems like I have had her forever. She is such a good baby. She is smiling and cooing. She is very alert and happy. She is still isn't sleeping through the night in fact she was up 3 times last night... She is growing like crazy hopefully soon she will sleep ALL night! We love her so much!

My little sidekick...

Lately Blake has been super clingy to me doing everything and anything to get my attention. He seriously doesn't leave my side. Today I was feding Baylee and I turn around to find him like this. He was looking at pictures of Dave and saying "Hi Dad"

Baylees Blessing

Today was such a special day. Today was Baylees blessing. She looked beautiful! It was such a great day we had it at our house with lunch following and had family and friends. It was very small and intimate. It was a perfect day!

Holding Sister.

So today for the first time Blake asked to hold Baylee I was a little hesitant at first, but he did great! He was so proud. When I went to get her from him he freaked out he didn't want to let her go. I love how much he loves his sister.

My Little Girl...

Last night I was up with Baylee feeding her and I had a "moment" as I was looking at her with my tired eyes I had an overwhelming amount of joy come over me I had so much love in my heart for her. I feel so blessed to be her mom and am so grateful she came into my life. She has the sweetest most peaceful spirit. I can't imagine my life without her. I love you Baylee Marie.

Brotherson Reunion

While I was in Lake Powell Dave took Blake up to Strawberry for the Brotherson Reunion. Blake rode his first horse and had a great time! He sure does LOVE his dad!

Neighborhood Friends

Tonight we had some of our neigborhood friends over for swimming and a bbq. I LOVE my neighborhood so much I couldn't be happier here. Everyone is so friendly. Blake and Baylee will have so many friends there age it is so great!

Lydia (5 weeks) and Baylee (10 weeks)

We are back and we had so much fun. It was so great to spend time with Baylee with no interuptions she is such a sweet little girl and is full of personality. She is smiling and cooing like crazy! She still LOVES to be held. It was so great being on the lake where there are so many memories. I seriously LOVE Lake Powell. I did miss my boys and was so excited to see them!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a funfilled day and it is super late and I am so tired so i am making this post quick! I hope everyone had a great day I am off to Lake Powell early in the morning so see you all soon! P.S can you believe how cute that onesie is on Baylee?! Thanks ANN!

The Ice Cream Truck?!

I have not seen one of these for years!!! Blake and I were sitting having lunch when all of the sudden I heard music coming from outside, my first thought was an ice cream truck and then I thought no they don't have those anymore, well to my surprise it was! I was so excited I got blake down and we ran outside. There were already about 10 kids out front! Blake chose the road runner. When I was little my favorite was the pink panther! I know this is crazy, but this is Blakes first ice cream! He has never shown any intrest in ice cream , but today he did! So fun!

One of those days...

Do you ever have one of those days where one second you are going to ring your childs neck and the next second you can't get enough of them? Blake is in a stage right now where he is ALWAYS getting into trouble seriously every second he is causing a mess or doing something he shouldn't! He is totally in destructive mode. And then there is Baylee who is so sweet she is always so happy. The only time she cries is if her older brother takes her binky out of her mouth. Having 2 is a whole new ball game!
