Happy Birthday Tate!

Today my sweet, cuddly Tate-o-bug turned 3. He is so funny because earlier this week I would say to him "who is turning 3 on Friday" and he would get so mad. He said he didn't want a birthday. Now what little kid says they don't want a birthday? If I mentioned the word birthday during the week, I would get a look. He is really into the movie Cars, so that's what kind of party he had. I wanted to decorate last night so when he woke up he would be surprised. (maybe he wouldn't be so grumpy about his birthday) I was right...He had a big grin on his face when he saw the balloons and banner. He had a good birthday and got some fun presents.

The Happiest Place on Earth!

Last week we were able to go to Disneyland for 3 days. My kids love it there, but so do I. You can't help but not be happy when you're there. My parents and my brother and his family also came with us. I don't know what we'd do without their help. Hayden could go on all the rides except for one. His favorite ride was Space Mountain. Tate could go on most of the rides and his favorite was Splash Mountain and the Tea Cups. He definitely did not like the Haunted Mansion. Addison was amused by all the rides she could go on. She was taking everything in. We saw some of the characters in passing, but the lines were too long to wait in for a picture. The only picture we got was with Pluto. Oh wells, I'm sure we will be back in a couple of years. I love going on family vacations. Sometimes I wish they'd never end.




Tate is into Cars right now, so he was excited to see this.

Grandpa and Tate waiting for the 3D Toy Story ride. It's a lot of fun!

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!


My sweet baby girl turned 1 on April 18th. It's kind of sad to think how fast time flies by. Sometimes I wish I could bottle my kids up at certain ages and phases of their life. Who doesn't? Anyway, we had a fun little party for Addie. It was an owl theme party...Her invitations said look "whoo's" turning 1. We had our families and a couple of friends over for a barbecue, cake and of course presents! It was like Christmas all over again for Addie.

Addie is our little sweetheart. When she flashes you her cheesy smile, you can't help but smile too. She is a busy little girl and likes to get into anything she can. She has everyone wrapped around her fingers, especially her grandpa's. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!! We love you!

Kindergarten, here I come!!

Hayden started his first day of school today and he absolutely loved it! I thought he would've been a little nervous to go, but he proved me wrong. He was so excited to ride the bus, and I'm sure it made it easier because two of his buddies ride the same bus and are in his class. This morning he asked me if I was going to miss him and I said yes. Instead of him saying that he was going to miss me too, he said he was going to miss Addison. He just loves his little sister. I can't believe that I have a kindergartener(time goes by way too fast). I am so proud of him and I know that he is going to learn so much this year!

Summertime Fun!

Yesterday we went to the Kearns outdoor pool with Matt's family. It's a fun place to go, especially with little kids. Hayden went non-stop for 2 1/2 hours. I wasn't ready to get into a swimming suit yet, so I really didn't take part in all the fun.

4th of July

On the 4th, we went across the street to our good friends John & Courtney's and had a barbecue followed by a great firework show. John and his family had gone to Evanston to get the fireworks and it was a lot of fun watching them.

Addison

Those of you that are reading this are probably thinking it's about time I put some pictures of Addison on here now that she is almost 7 weeks old. I don't know about those of you that have three kids, but it has been an adjustment for me. I often feel that I don't have enough time to get things done around my house, let alone update my blog. Since my kids are sleeping, I thought now was a good time.

Addison was born April 18th at 7:29 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 20 inches long. She is such a sweet little baby and brings so much happiness to our home. Her big brothers love her so much and I know they are going to be her protectors. Hayden calls her his sweetheart and every morning when he wakes up he has to come in and give her a kiss. Tate calls her baby or Addie and is constantly in her face giving kisses or trying to shove the binki in her mouth.(I'm sure she loves that) She still mostly sleeps and eats, but is more aware of her surroundings now. It's crazy how much they can change in a couple of weeks. I'm still not sure who she looks like, but she does resemble Hayden when he was a baby. It is so much fun having a little girl and I know she'll be my shopping buddy when she gets older. Hopefully she'll like Target as much as I do!(:

Enjoy the pictures!!
