Bedtime Stories

~ Ward Swim Party ~

The kids.....

swam

ate dinner

had fun with friends and matching swimming suit partners :)

got soaked

slept

had a great time!

I'm so sad!

The reason?????

We went to Bear Lake for 5 days and I forgot my dippy camera!

So upsetting for a picture taker like myself! :)

And even more upsetting since it was my baby's first trip to the Lake and I have nothing to show for it!!!

(okay, now I'm just being dramatic!)

We had lots and lots of fun though

inspite of my silly mistake.

We...

played at the beach

swam in the pool

went golfing (the boys did, Quinney's 1st time)

played at the park

ate lots of yummy snacks and treats :)

played baseball on the grass

rode bikes

went on walks

ate way too much of all the scrumptious meals we had

did fun crafts @ the craft center

popped popcorn

watched movies

slept in :)

got yummy shakes...twice

celebrated 2 birthdays

ate delicious mexican food at the condo and at a restaurant

(I know, we're lucky)

played school, Grandma was the teacher

made paper snowflakes

colored and drew pictures

whew, we had a good time!

Notice anything different?

Avery got her ears pierced!

She can't stop looking at herself in the mirror,

she LOVES them! :)

Leaving the newborn stage :(

Hayzen had his 2 month check-up earlier this week and here are his stats.

Height: 22.5 inches, 31%
Weight: 11 lbs. 3 oz., 35%
Head: 40 cm., 46%

I was thinking he'd weigh a little more than that, look at those cute chubby cheeks and double chin! :)

So far, Quinn's got my other two kids beat with weight at 2 months, he weighed a whopping 12 lbs. 6.5 oz, 80%. He was a chubbster. Avery was the smallest weighing in at 10 lbs. 13 oz.

One more side note, yesterday Hayzen graduated from newborn diapers and is now officially wearing size 1. So sad, my baby is growing too fast!

hOoT hOoT

I saw this cutie-patooty owl toy idea on one of my favorite crafty blogs called nannygoat and I just knew I was going to have to make one for Hayzen. Well, I liked it so much I decided to make one for Avery and Quinn too, they were just TOO cute I couldn't help myself! :) The one pictured above is Quinn's.

Meet my three little friends...


For my three little sweeties...


She's in love!


Quinney was being so nice and wanted to let his owl sit in the tree! :) What a sweet boy!


Look, Hayzen's already grabbing it, I knew he'd like it! Sweet success!


These were so easy to make and they turned out simply adorable if I do say so myself! :)

My sweet little man

I can't believe Hayzen is already 8 weeks old. He is getting so big! I am happy to report that he is now sleeping 8 hours at night and smiling all the time! He is just the sweetest!

Look at that cute chubby belly and rolly thighs!


I am still lovin' his long dark hair. I thought it might have fallen out by now but he's still got it. It cracks me up! :)



I've been trying for WEEKS now to get a good picture of him smiling. You wouldn't believe how many I have taken! He either turns his head, stops smiling, or pulls a goofy face right before the picture is snapped. This digital camera is such a pain sometimes, it seems like it has at least a 3 second delay from when I push the button to when it actually takes the picture....which adds to my stress when trying to capture a great smiling picture! :)

These are the best two as of yet. What a sweetheart!!



I just loved how he was so relaxed in Daddy's arms.


What a handsome little fella!


I cannot get enough of him. Seriously. SO. Cute.

How She Measures Up

My little lady had her 5 year check-up today and had to get the dreaded kindergarten shots. BOO! She was so brave though and only whimpered for a couple of seconds. I was so proud of her! They're a little sore this evening but nothing a yummy Slurpee couldn't fix. :)


Height: 40 inches, 8%
Weight: 33.4 lbs., 8%
Vision: 20/20

Overall, I've got a very very healthy cutie on my hands! :)

Doesn't she seem too small to be starting kindergarten? She's so little still! Oh no, this Mama is going to have a hard time when that day comes.

I better stop thinking about it, the eyes are starting to well up.

I'll admit it, I'm a baby!

Beautiful Car

If you or anyone you might know is interested in buying this lovely car you're in luck, we're selling it.

Spread the word.

Round trip on the Front Runner

We decided to take a trip down to the big city for the afternoon/evening and take a little adventure on the Front Runner. It was our first time riding the passenger train and we were all very excited. Totally worth the $13.75 we paid for the family pass! :)




After we arrived in the city we spent our time roaming around The Gateway, eating a lovely dinner at Thaifoon (so good!) and doing a little shopping. Of course we couldn't leave The Gateway without getting sprinkled (or soaked) by the fountains.





This little fella just relaxed in the stroller. So sweet!



The ride back was just as exciting, especially because it got dark on our way home. Avery said, "Mom, it's getting dark, does that mean it's past our bedtime?" Oh the thrill of being a child, staying out past your bedtime! :)

Me and my sweet guy.



I kiss those chubby cheeks all day long!

I can guarantee we will be doing this again, we had so much fun! Avery and Quinn are already looking forward to it!
