Three Months Old!

Babygirl is such a great baby! The boys just love her and we just can't get enough! At the boys checkup yesterday, i stuck her on the scale and with wet diaper and clothes, she was 15lbs! (not bad, but GJ was that at 2 months)

Not laughing yet, but you can tell she is so close!

 I just can't stop kissing those cheeks. 

 As with the rest of my babies, she refuses a sasser (pacifier) but she does occasionally find her thumb. 

How can you not love all that chub!?! Now if she would just sleep more than 4 hours at night...

GJ Turns 4!

GJ had his birthday yesterday and chose an Elmo cake (not my first choice, but it is HIS birthday, not mine)

I can’t believe he is 4! Sometimes he is the sweetest boy ever, gives me hugs and kisses, loves to pray, plays by himself easily and helps me out, especially with the baby. He is also tries my patience as he loves to wrestle/fight with his brother, get in his sister’s face, have to wear Lightening McQueen jammies whether they are clean or not, sleep with tiny toys that get lost easily, always request to eat hot dogs and popsickles, and enforce his sense of justice. 

For example, at the park today, he tripped over a root and fell down. He came over crying and I tried to comfort him and ask if he wanted to go inside to go to swimming lessons and be done with the park. He responded, "I want to hit it!" and proceeded to go back to the tree and hit its bark. That is just classic GJ. He has to make sure everyone is even, whether it is his brother, or a classmate, or a tree, or the table he just ran into, there will be retribution. With the latter, it usually hurts his hand and the table gets another slap. My oh my, at least he was finally potty trained before 4!

We love you GJ!!!

MK's blessing day

 At least we are all in the picture.

 Tad did a great job.

 As usual, she was a darling. 

 Linny, Matt, Linc, Ace, Grandpa and Grandma all came up. I did not end up with a picture of any of the Days. We had a great barbecue after church then a few friends over for desserts. 

Sweet sleeping baby. 

 Here is a picture of just the dress. 

I nixed the sleeves and made some major readjustments to accommodate her growing figure. (And the dress was done by 10pm, not 3am as said husband was predicting). It was a great day and fabulous weather.

U2

Last year we bought U2 tickets for our anniversary. We debated a long time whether it was worth it, but finally did and and within 2 days, Bono announced he needed back surgery and the concert was delayed a year. Slightly disappointing, especially as we were hoping to have a new baby the next spring. Luckily it worked out though, thanks to Linny coming up with her newborn and watching MK, though she wasn't too thrilled about a bottle. 

 Tad of course it the real die hard fan, but I knew most of the songs and had a great time. We park at the UofU and just walked a little ways to the stadium. This was early on, but you can see below, by the start it was pretty full.

 The stage was pretty cool and they had amazing effects. 

Since I haven't really been to a concert since NKOTB in 7th grade (remember that Julie and Shelly?), I was pretty easily impressed, though Bono was a little goofy to me, but I guess you kind of have to be. 

The Fray opened up and I thought they did a great job. I couldn't get my picture to turn, but you can kind of see the cool stage here. They had the main stage, and then this full circle they could walk around, you can see the lead singer in the white jacket walking around in the front of the 2nd stage. Glad we could go and hopefully we'll do it again someday.

Two months

MK is growing faster than a weed and has the chub to prove it. Here she is with her brothers, who do you think she looks more like? She really is a doll and even though she is up every 3-4 hours, she is a great sleeper in between. She loves her brothers and does not love a bottle.
