Touring Nauvoo With the Family!

I just have to say that we loved our time with our family and really appreciate our family for letting us intrude on their homes and kitchens! :) Thanks again for such a great trip and it will always be one that we remember for a long time!!

Pictures from Trevor's Wedding!

These are just some of the pictures that I have from Trevor's wedding in Nauvoo, IL. We had a blast and hope that we can come visit soon!!

Cooper is now Two Months Old!!

I can't believe that it has been two months already! Man time flies fast, except when you are extremely sleep deprived. Cooper is a very happy baby and is smiling tons and cooing more and more each day. He has a lot to say. I like to brag that he is a mama's boy but I say that it is about time that I get one all to myself! :) Some say that he looks just like Carter and Travis but he definitely has his own sweet personality. He absolutely loves Carter and Kabien. Every time they talk to him he smiles big and curls up in a ball. He is already rolling to his sides whether it is intentional or not he sure wants to be big. People keep asking if we plan on having anymore and right now I am saying we are done, but we will see what happens in three years. It sure is fun having a baby in the house again but you forget how many diapers you go through in one day!! 

Just taking a Break

If you couldn't guess already, yes that is Carter laying in the dirt. My kind mother decided to come and spice up my backyard with some plants and bushes. (Thanks Mom!) So she, Kabien, Josh, myself, My Dad, Carter, and a little of Travis (he was busy doing other things)...(Travis here, I was working in the vineyard. Just thought you would all like to know.) worked hard at digging up the back yard. Carter decided he was going to take a break. I don't know why he chose that spot when there was grass, the sidewalk, or even a couch inside the house, but I guess all his hard work got to him and he thought he would just lay where he was. Nice choice crazy little kid! :)

Kabien & the Tooth Fairy

As some of you know we are going through the fun stage of the Tooth Fairy. Kabien is loosing teeth very fast and when that first tooth came out I thought he was going to pass out when he saw the blood. (My son gets a little faint when he sees blood) But that night the magic tooth fairy came with a dollar and a note. When Kabien woke up he was sooo excited he thought that it would be really neat to start pulling out all his teeth! As you can see from this picture when Kabien sets his mind to something he really goes all out to get it. His first tooth was a bottom tooth and within a week 3 of his top teeth were missing and so was 2 of his bottom teeth. When I investigated some more I realized that he was pulling on his teeth to come out instead of waiting til they were extremely or even semi loose. He would just pull as hard as he could several times before one came out. OUCH!!! We finally had to tell him that the Tooth Fairy would not be allowed in the house if he continued to do that to his teeth. Oh the joys of parenthood!!

Look Mom...I'm like Dad!

I was again taking picture of the boys when Carter decided to show me how he was like dad. He told me that he was going to be a big boy like dad soon. That he will be able to run like dad, and jump like dad, and even eat like dad. So needless to say Cooper was on the bed when Carter decided to say, "Mom look I'm like Dad!" There he was pretending to be asleep just like his Dad. Very Cute!!

Three Loving Boys?

I just had to post these. I was taking these pictures of the boys together and for some reason Carter decided he was going to do a special pose. Now we see his true colors and feelings towards his brothers. Can we say Anger Management!? :)
