Chubby Cheeks!

I guess I didn't realize how big Ryder is getting until I saw him while Grandma was holding him last night. I just might get a little rolly-polly baby after all!

Busy, Busy, Busy

We have been working really hard to finish up all of our many projects at our house. Here is what we have been up to:

Mark's parents came up last weekend to help us finish building our deck. I am so glad it is done and I absolutely love it! I am so glad that Mark is handy and can do things like this for us. The boys love to help out their dad.

Project #2 was putting rock in all the left over places in our yard. It looks really good too, but I was too proccupied chasing Paxton around to get a picture of it. Paxton was having so much fun playing in the rocks with his dump truck, but he also got a little distracted and spent some time in the fire pit too.

My full time job!

No, I did not get a new job. I have had this job for quite a while, but am just realizing what a handful it is becoming. It is Paxton. Man, this little boy gets into everything, knows exactly what he shouldn't be playing with and does anyways, and pretty much drives me crazy chasing him around the house. Here he is emptying the garage can.

And playing in the firepit...

Too bad he is so dang cute!

1st day of Preschool

Conner started his 2nd year of preschool on Wednesday. He was so excited to start this year. I think I am probably just as excited as he is! He is going to our next door neighbor, Miss Karen's, again this year.

Date Night

My parents came over last night so that Mark and I could go out. We went for a drive in the corvette with the top down and our hair blowing in the wind, well at least my hair was blowing. It was really fun. We ended up at Payson Lake and walked around the lake.


Then we did something really exciting. We went grocery shopping!

How time flies

It has been a long time since I posted, but I guess I have been busy. Not really doing much except taking care of everyday things with a new baby and 2 more crazy boys. I haven't had a lot of time to do much else.

Yesterday for a few minutes I had both Ryder and Pax asleep and Con was watching cartoons. So I had a few minutes to myself, well, actually to make dinner, but I didn't have to hold someone for a little while.

This morning, Conner woke up and I sent him downstairs with Mark to watch cartoons. After Mark left for work, Con kept coming upstairs to tell me that Ryder was awake and that I needed to put him on the floor to play. So here is Conner and Ryder "strengthening their neck muscles."

Good ol' EHS

This year was Mark's 10 year high school reunion. It was pretty fun to go and actually meet a lot of the people that Mark would talk about. I knew most of his friends already, but there were some that I didn't. It was fun to see what people are doing now and how things have changed.

The Boys

There is actually a funny story behind this picture. I can't find it now, but there was once a blog post with something about old crushes and 4th grade.
