8 Months

Carlee 8 Months
Teeth have finally appeared! Carlee loves to bit, and now it hurts! She is starting to figure out how to sit up by herself. She is really content sitting on the floor with a couple of toys in front of her. Carlee makes happy noises all day long. I think she just wants to be heard amongst all the noise. The only time we don't love her squealing is at church! She has been in the car seat a lot this month, because of school programs, dance recitals, and baseball games... she doesn't seem to mind, luckily she can take a  great nap in it! She finally moved to a size 3 diaper. She now sits in the shopping cart without her car seat and loves it.

This is one smiley happy baby, and we can't seem to get enough of her! Love you Cars!

Landon's Birthday

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this boy is 9. It is crazy to think that in 9 more years he will be all grown up and hopefully somewhere in a far away place teaching people about the gospel. Time really needs to slow down from here on out. The first 9 has gone way to fast! I love him so much, and even though sometime we have our moments... he is a pretty dang good kid.

All he wanted to do for his birthday was go to Samurai 21. He had been planning it since the fall. I couldn't have been happier with the idea! We had a family party the night before, and then on his big day we went to Samurai. It was great, he even caught the shrimp!

Happy Birthday Landon! I love you. Thank you for being apart of our family. You are one of a kind boy, that I don't know what I would do without.

Two Much Fun

Tuesday has become Addie's favorite day of the week. All I ever hear is "Mom, is it dance day? or "Is it dance day today?" or "Mom, when is it dance day?" Monday nights she goes right to bed very excited, because she knows when she wakes up it is dance day! She loves the baby doll dance, butterfly dance, teddy bear dance, well I now I think about it, I guess she loves them all! My favorite was the mop dance. It was to the song "It's the Hard Knock Life" from Annie. It was so cute! (We came right home and downloaded it, now she sings it all the time.)

It was fun to watch her do all the dances she talks about all the time. She grinned and danced so cute. I don't know who was smiling more, me or her! I couldn't have been prouder, she was a doll!

Then she sang to her daddy...

"I have a date...Yes I do..."

"He is tall & handsome, too"

"I have a date and Daddy it's you!"

 

 

 

 This class really was "Two much fun" just like its name.

Mother's Day

I have many Mother's in my life that help me so much. I don't know what I would do with out my own Mother, she is always there when I need her with a shoulder to cry on, or laugh on for that matter! She is a great mom, and I feel blessed to call her Mother.  That being said... I had a great Mother's day. We were able to spend a little time with my mom and Gavin's. It was nice.

This year I decided I didn't want to spend $4.99 on a card that will get thrown away. So, I made my own Mother's Day Cards. I printed this picture then glued it to cardstock and wrote my own personal message inside. It was perfect. I think this will be how I create Mother's/Father's Day cards from now on. That way they at least have an up to date photo of our family and it cost me under a dollar. :)

Field Day

Field Day is the boys favorite day of the school year. They love being outside, racing and having fun. They did great, both came home with lots of ribbons!

7 Months

Carlee 7 months
Still no teeth, just a little gummer! She is sitting up better by herself. She loves food and is still nursing great. She pulls my hair and pinches my skin while she nurses. I can't wear necklaces anymore because she pulls and breaks them. It's a good thing I don't wear long earrings! I took her back to the doctor and she gained another pound, so I think she will be fine. She's just mini little bundle. We love her to pieces.

My Little Leaguer

My "Little Leaguer" Preston had a great season! He loved everything about baseball this year. He loved practicing, hitting, catching and just playing the game. I think he was excited it was finally his turn to play, instead of watching his older brother! He did awesome! He is counting down the days until fall, when he can start to play baseball year round. It's going to be fun.

Great Season Little Leaguer!!
