the little tough guy...

i have never seen such a brave, tough little man. he has seriously amazed me...but also made things a lot easier on his mama these last couple weeks.

the poor little guy isn't done yet with the hospital and doctor's visits...but i know that he'll keep us amazed with his mature 3 year old attitude.

as girly as ever...

hi...i'm abigail...and i won't stop growing

...the fourth of july...

our fourth was pretty quiet and uneventful...but it was kind of nice. My parents and jess' parents are always out of town on the fourth enjoying some out of town fun...so we kind of are use to doing our own thing.

the boys made flags...and conner now knows that we live in the united states of america...but sometimes if you ask him where he lives he likes to throw you for a loop and say Mexico...still trying to figure out why...interesting...

abigail was of course there for it all...and of course she was as happy as ever...little sweetheart...i seriously would love to have triplets if they were all just like her...she's so stinkin sweet and happy all of the time...

After church on the actual fourth we just hung out and had a BBQ. I'm super sad that I didn't take any pics of our yummy food that we put together...but it was sooooo good!

The menu consisted of:

Hamburgers of course with homemade buns...yummo

homemade black bean salsa...double yummo

baked beans

fruit salad

and for dessert i made a fun fourth of july cake

(i got the idea from makeit-loveit.com)

by the looks of it...i'm pretty sure that jace enjoyed his cake

Conner after throwing a fit...he's kind of giving us a run for our money right now...he was super excited for the fireworks though

a little family fourth soccer

Once it started to get dark we headed out to watch the fireworks. the boys were super excited and we all had a ton of fun. its just fun for me to watch the boys be so excited...and thats including jess...he was pretty excited for the fireworks too. : )

proof abby and i were there

all together i think that we had a pretty successful fourth of july...

abby got a little bling...

i never really thought that once i had a girl that i would pierce her ears while she was a baby...but once i finally had her that all changed. she just looks so stinkin cute i could eat her up...

before bling

after bling

still just the happiest baby ever...

brotherly love...

i love that these boys are super good buddies...

well most of the time

something fun...

here's one of my projects that i finally photographed! i saw the tutorial on making this wreath on maryjanesandgaloshes.com and i just couldn't resist! i loved the butterflies and the fact that it's made out of brown paper lunch bags...

Where has the time gone...

my sweet little stinker Jace turned two last month...June 13th...to be exact. i just wanted to post some adorable pics of the handsome kid before it gets too super late...

i just melt whenever i see that stinkin cute smile of his...and he knows it...

oh conner...he does love himself a good cupcake...but seriously who could ever turn down a red velvet cupcake?

lovin the new soccer goal from grandma and grandpa

his dad was a happy man once he saw how much the boys loved the squirt guns...

Abigail's blessing day

Conner around 3 months old

Jace around 3 months old

Abigail around 3 months old

it's funny to see the similarities...

memorial day...

okay so i know that you are all wondering what we did for memorial day weekend...well maybe not...but here it is anyway. We went over to moses lake and hung out with some fun family! The boys did a little camping...we did a little shaved ice eating...and jace and conner and of course jess did a lot of smore eating. it was a fun filled weekend.

love this kiddo

eating marshmallows...which is what they did ALL night

dad showing conner how to cook the perfect marshmallow

again eating more of course...and that darn towel in his hand...to funny

the hatchet man...scary

yumm

hi...i'm abigail...& i'm 2 months old

sunday best...

i love sundays...one of the many reasons is because it gets my kiddos looking so darn smoochably cute...i often use some time after church to snap some pics that are hopefully framing worthy...

i'm definently loving the brotherly love in this pic...oh yeah and the two handsome little guys...i could just kiss on their cheeks all day...

this little gal...well just looking at her you could die from sweetness...i can already tell we're going to be in for trouble with this one...she's totally working the dress i made her...

and jace that little stinker...who knows where he's headed...probably to scope out a motorcycle...the kids one obsession...his father loves it...

Chubby Baby in a Sink...

Love this girl...she loves loves her baths...even in a sink that barely leaves any room for her to splash around...

i seriously couldn't resist not painting her little toesies...I just love them all miniture and all! Poor girl, now I don't think that I'll be able to let her toe nails go unpainted again, they're just too cute all red!

i love being a mommy...

mother's day 2010

Abigail's Blessing...

we blessed our sweet baby girl this past sunday. it was sweet and precious just like her.

abby was lucky enough to share her special day with her cousin mason...my little sister's baby. we were already planning on blessing abby on may 16th in our ward in the tri-cities, but steph just couldn't figure out a good sunday to bless mason in utah where everyone would be able to make it...so then we just decided to bless them on the same day in our parent's ward...we both grew up in that ward so it's like our second home. my in-laws are in that ward too, and steph's in-laws live in oregon, so the drive for them was shorter then going to utah...all in all it ended up working out quite well. abigail and mason were born 18 hours apart, so it was so fun to get all together and meet mason for the first time. he is such a cutie, and i know that they'll be buds growing up.

abby was zonked out for all pictures...little stinker...mason looks adorable though.

here's our family...minus my older bro and his family (they're off at medical school)...and my little bro who's off serving the lord in mexico...oh yeah and jace, that little stinker...

it was a great and special day, and both daddy's did an awesome job...and both babies got amazing blessings...
