My boys aren't so little any more.

Andrew still isn't walking, but he is pulling himself up and moving around the furniture now. These pics are from Fallon, this was the first time he pulled himself up and you can see that he was pretty proud of himself! It was so cute, he has the biggest smile on his face. This week has been kind of rough for him, he is getting molars and has had a fever. Teething is hard for my little guy, but this morning the fever was finally gone, yay! And my other guy, do I dare say is potty trained!!!! We still put a diaper on Noah at night, but other than that he doesn't need one anymore. I really can't believe it, he isn't even 3 until October. I had heard that boys are more difficult to train, but Noah was awesome!

Grandma and Grandpa

We decided to have a photoshoot with Grandma and Grandpa. The weather was so nice, and Grandma has a really comfortable swing, so we decided to take them there. They turned out really cute! Oh and yes, Taylor is missing. We got everyone gathered after church and then remembered that Tay wanted to stay at church with her cousins. I was so proud of Taylor for wanting to stay, but sad that she isn't in these pics. We had to take them then, because Ellen was starting to get tired and couldn't wait. I will learn how to photoshop her in!

The Fallon Museum

I love history, antiques, museums, all of that kind of stuff. This is something that I have tried to get my kids excited about too. So, while we are in Fallon, we always try to make it to the museum there. It is actually really nice and they have lots for the kids to do and look at, and its free! So, this time we took all of the kids and Grandma. Elizabeth and Alex went too. Afterward, we got some lunch and had a picnic in the park. It was a really great day. Pics of the park to come...

Summer fun

 
Posted by Picasa

We have been waiting and waiting for summer to arrive. The cooler temps have been a blessing to prevent flooding, but we are happy that it is finally warming up. The kids and I have been swimming everyday. The kids especially love the slip and slide. Noah is constantly asking to go outside and swim and we have finally convinced him that he doesn't need to wear a girl's swimsuit. He thought they were for boys and girls. We got him his own suit and now he is happier than ever. Justin also put a little rope swing on our tree, mostly for Taylor, but the older kids will be able to enjoy it more as they get older. We are also looking foward to finally using our season passes to 7 peaks. The kids love the water! Today we went swimming and to the park, so the kids usually sleep pretty well.

Let them eat cake!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andrew turned one year old last month. I can hardly believe it! We had a family birthday party at our house with dinner, presents, and of course birthday cake. We also celebrated Cortney's birthday the same day. I am so greatful to be Andrew's mommy. He is such a joy to our family. He is always so happy and sweet and we can't get enough of him. I feel so blessed to have him in our family.

A new post, finally!

I am sorry I haven't posted anything in so long. Things have been kind of busy lately and blogger hasn't been letting me post pictures. The girls were in a dance recital at the end of May. They did the nutcracker with a summer twist. They did a great job and Taylor danced in 3 different dances. She is now taking dance twice a week. The other girls are taking a break from dance this summer and will start again in the Fall. Ellie is taking art classes and loving it! She comes home everyday with a new project and is so happy to show it off.
