My Babies

This is Kyle's cool Superhero face and it is NOT to be laughed at. Period.

'Bout time

It's been a while since we've done family pics. Adding a little girl to the mix got our cans in gear. Check them out and tell me what you think. I'm not real keen on the family shots. So I ask you, which would YOU choose?

A New Education

Things I (Adam) have learned since being a parent:

1. Pixar makes the best movies

2. Wipees can clean anything

3. If you have the red lightsaber you are automatically the bad guy

4. Skooby Doo will never die

5. Mac and cheese really isn't that bad

6. Always wrap up dirty diapers

7. There is nothing stronger than Superheros

8. Be very careful when buckling car seats

9. "Daddy's home!" are the best words in the English language 10. Mommy always has last say.

My baby girl is growing like a weed. She has been such a good baby even though she's a bit of a mama's girl (just like her brothers). She's sleeping well (up once a night) and wakes up happy and with lots of smiles. People constantly comment on her big, bright eyes and even bigger, open-mouthed smile.

Megan's 4 month stats:

Height: 26 in. 97%

Weight: 15.2 lbs 90%

Head 16.9 in. 90%

She is tall.

{I took the boys for their check up's as well}

Noah's 3 year stats:

Height: 38.6 in. 75%

Weight: 37 lbs 90%

He's my beefy boy.

Kyle's 5 year stats:

Height: 44.7 in. 90%

Weight: 44 lbs. 75%

Vision: 20/30

He's my string bean.

...Megan is finally using her little mitts for something other than slurping on. She is a grabber. NOT good when eating soup or using an iPhone.

{This yellow bear has has been a favorite with all my kids.}

...I went to Heber Valley Girls Camp for my Mom's mother/daughter campout. It was really fun and I loved being with my sisters {Dawn and Amy}, mom and nieces {Morgan, Anna, Rachel, Olivia, Julia and Ellie}.

Anna really IS beautiful. :)

...Whilst I was off bonding with the womenfolk of my family, Adam took advantage and took his boys to Wasatch State Park overnight (what a sweet daddy). Ethan and Papa came along too. Kyle got to break in his new hydration pack and get in some much adored hiking.

...Speaking of hiking, we also went to City Creek Canyon and enjoyed the beauty there. Ahhhh, I am so enjoying summer.

...So is Noah...

...Megan's first swimming experience was a great success...NOT.

...Adam and I went to "The Wedding Singer at Hale Center Theater. It was good but the movie is better.

....Father's Day cupcakes.

Journal Jar Monday

*What colors would you choose for your wedding reception?

What refreshments would you choose for your reception?*

{Since this photo was taken with my 7 beautiful nieces,

13 more grandkids have been added!}

Well, since I've been there, done that let's just take a walk down memory lane.

My colors were various shades of pink, white and some black. I can say that after almost 8 years {wow.}, I can still look back at my colors with satisfaction.

We did a kind of dessert buffet for refreshments that consisted of lemon bars and éclairs for Schmmidt's (where Adam used to work), and... I have no idea what else. I don't think I partook of any of it hence my brain cramp. I thought I had a picture of the buffet table but I can't find it. Darn. It was gorgeous...

just like my Honey.

UPDATE:

I found the picture!

Look at all the yumminess.

Same old, same old.

Went to the same old beautiful Kodachrome campground over Memorial weekend....ate the same old delicious fare... hiked the same old hikes.... enjoyed the same old old ;) company and just had the same old good time... I like same old.

Top of Angel's Palace hike and view of campground.

Can't resist the slick rock.

Noah's faithful tag-a-longs.

What a chore trying to keep this girl shaded. Despite all our efforts she still ended up getting burnt. Poor baby.

Noah dubbed this the "pirate's cave".

LOVE him.

Angel's Palace trail. Kyle's favorite hike. This kid can HIKE!

Ellsworth and his look-alike rock.

After two years of crappy weather, this year it was glorious!

These boys are such sweet brothers...most of time. :)

Mini biker chick.

I will look forward to more same old, same old next year.

...My honey and I had a romantic time dancing the night away... at the region dance. It made me think that I need to dance with my Honey more often. Oh and did I mention that my Honey is

H O T?!

...For some reason I have been fearful of yeast breads and therefore have never attempted to bake any...until this week. I made three loaves of bread for dinner and even had company (my parents) coming over. Other than the fact that the bread didn't fill the pans I used, it was pretty darn good for a first attempt.

... I LOVE these "shocks". They have got to be my favorite girly thing since having my own girly.

...We went with Gma and Gpa to a show at Clark Planetarium (It was Cheryl's Mother's Day present). We saw "Attack of the Space Pirates". It was lame (sorry, Cheryl) but at least the boys liked it.

...This is what we've been watching for entertainment lately. I'm totally sicked out by it (I can barely even look at it when I water it) but I had to try it at least once, right?

Soggy Girl

Megan is such a puker and a drooler and is always soppin' wet so I've decided that this will be her new Summer wear...

...or NOT wear as the case may be.

(Megan proves my point)

Uh-oh.

Since the day Megs was born she has been obsessed with her hands. She has had limited success getting her fingers in her mouth...

...until now.
