Can someone please tell me....

how in three short months we have gone from this....

to this?!?!?! And can you please tell me where to find the pause button. My kids are getting WAY to big for my liking. Let's not even get started on how Ella is going to be four in four months. Four sounds sooo old. My little man is THREE months old. When did this happen. I swear I just blinked. I just want to remember the little moments that happen everyday. The cute things they do. How they look. Oh man. Lately when I think having little ones is hard I then think, this is the easy part. 15 will be hard. When i have to send them out into the world that will be hard. When I can make very decision for them that will be hard.


At three months this guy:
- Smiles ALL the time. Even if he is crying and you smile at him he will almost always smile back in the middle of crying
-He has started laughing ( it melts my heart)
- Weighs 16 pounds and is 26 inches long
- Sleeps from 8:30pm until 8- 8:30am
-Loves his big sister. He watches her and smiles at her ALL the time
- Getting so close to rolling from his back to his stomach (he can go the other way already)
- Loves his swing and baby Einstein jungle gym
- Discovered he has feet and doesn't know what to think about them
- Getting good with grabbing things and loves to reach out and touch his toys
- He is just such a happy go lucky baby and is pretty easy thus far and i have no complaints. He is easy going and so fun
- Loves, loves his bath
- Just couldn't get any more darling. The last three months have been great:)






One of my favorite baby products this time around has been this awesome swaddle blanket. Seriously LOVE it. And so does he, see the big smile below. I wish I had one with Ella. Both my kids have loved to be swaddled.


Lot's of new updates below:)

Fathers Day

Ella and Lucas are two very lucky kids. Stewart sure loves these kids and if I would agree he would have ten. Pretty sure I'm not willing:)

This cute thing loves to help in the kitchen:) She was so excited to make Dad his special dinner

Which happened to be breakfast. We have breakfast for dinner every Sunday and Stewart requested waffles with homemade whipped cream and fresh fruit.

We LOVE Summer!!!!

Summer is the best. I love everything about it. Swimming. BBQ's. Corn on the cob. Fruit. Swimming. Playing at the park. Nail polish. Just to name a few.

Trying out the swing. Not to sure about it at first but then decides they aren't so bad.

Stewart trying to get Ella to appreciate how fun the splash pad's can be. It didn't work.

Cute boys hanging out in the stroller at the park

We spend the afternoons coloring away. This is one of Ella's favorite activities. She is becoming a pro and I just love how she looks when she colors. Some moments I find myself never wanting to forget.

I just wanted to post this picture of the girls from two years ago. When did it become ok for them to grow up. The picture below is exactly two years later. I swear they look like they are ten. Ok maybe not ten but time flies by and it needs to stop. And sorry to miss Elliot who has her eyes closed but it was the only one I took.


I took the girls to townsquare with a play group in our ward and they both had some rosie cheeks going on so we hit up the shade to have a little picnic

Girls trip: June 2010

We had a girls trip with my mom and her side of the family a few weeks ago. Kathryn was so nice to let us use the cabin so a big thanks to her:) We headed up on Wednesday and then the boys met us up there Friday night to finish out the weekend. We hung out, ate, chatted and watched chick flicks. It was great fun!

The pics are out of order, but I don't care too much:) My little bug caught her first fish. I was so proud of her.

Snow in JUNE. It was actually pretty fun.





Callie and Ella

Funny boys.... I think Luke is wondering what his arm is doing on Brysen but can't figure out how to move it back:)


My two favorite little people.

Kathryn has a giant bear at the cabin and I'm not sure where it came from but Ella was a fan.

Ella and my cousin Hollee's little boy Stratten. He loved Ella and Ella warmed up to him finally. Anyone who knows Ella knows she likes older kids but is always a little gun shy of younger kids.

Love my little man... Anna do you recognize his pj's:) Good thing I had warm clothes for him from you! And how old does he look chillin in that chair.

Catching the snow in her mouth:)

OK- so her are all the girls that made the trip so fun:)





My grandma, cousins and aunts. And a few of us were lucky enough to have our kids with us ( I am not being sarcastic at all, ok maybe a little)
