4 months already?

Well, I can't believe it's been 4 months! Sydney is such a delight to have around. By far she has been my trickiest baby! She has such a small window to get to sleep before she melts down. It sure is a little more stressed around here! But, she's a GREAT sleeper at night which makes the days so much easier. And I do have to say we are in quite a good routine now.

Sydney has made a lot of developmental leaps in her short 4 months of life! She can roll over and pretty much does as soon as you lay her down! This girl sure can get around! She is always ready with a smile if you can just catch her eye! She's always looking around trying to take in every detail of her surroundings. She is such a "talker", too. She doesn't really babble, but she'll coo for quite a while if you catch her in the right mood.

We feel so blessed to have such wonderful children and to have added this sweet little angel to our family!

No More Diaper Ditching!

Yes, that's duct tape holding Lily's diaper on (bet you can't guess who's idea that was!). My days had been full of finding random diapers throughout the house, which of course led to the hunt for it's owner. I'm not fond of bare bottoms hanging around here. I do have to give the girl credit, though. She finally got to the point when she ditched her diaper, she went to the toilet. Was it a sign? Who knows, but the girl is potty trained now. We do have a few accidents, but it's much better than the panic of finding a stinky diaper on the floor without knowing where the other half of the mess is!

Happy Anniversary!

9 years ago I married my love in the Salt Lake Temple. Life sure has changed for us through the years but our love has only gotten stronger. I am so grateful for Robert and for his efforts to make me happy and take care of me. He is always on my mind and I love him greater every day. Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!

Audrey's Birthday!

We celebrated Audrey's fourth birthday last month - what a big girl she is! I wasn't sure what kind of a party we would have - she kept dreaming up these ideas - a rock star party, a princess party with makeup and such. I don't know why, but she finally decided on a Little Mermaid party. We had a ton of fun with a bunch of kids! We are so glad to have Audrey in our family. She adds such spunk and smiles and is so giving and affectionate. She sure is wonderful!

The cake - the fabric underneath was used later for her new personalized pillowcase!

All the kiddos - it sure was wild!

This is Audrey and Rob getting ready to go on their Daddy-Daughter birthday date.

Fourth of July

We had a great Fourth of July at Rob's parent's house. Good old brisket and fun times! Rob is always a good sport about playing with the kids- they had a blast in the sprinklers!



We really enjoyed the fireworks show!

Catch -up

Hey all- It's been a busy and fun summer, but I have totally slacked off in the blogging department! So prepare yourself for quite the catch up! I'll try and space it out over the next little bit!
