E's Blessing Day

E brings such a sweet spirit to our family. He brings us such happiness and joy which is what babies do they help to create peace and love even in a home were love abides it is amazing how they bring even more. He was blessed yesterday a very bittersweet thing for me. Bitter because he is the last. Sweet because he is here and it is always such a sweet thing to bring your baby to the Lord to name him, give thanks for him and to bless the baby with the things the Lord would have him do and be. P always gives such nice blessings to our children and E's was no exception. The spirit could be felt and I was overwhelmed with joy knowing that E is suppose to be here in our family. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to be his Mommy. He has already blessed me in ways I can't describe. He is such a reminder that Heavenly Father lives and loves each and every one of us. He brings that love with him and I hope he carries it forever! And doesn't he just look so stinkin' cute in that little tiny tux?

Makes my heart stop beating!

Signs of Spring

Isn't that the most beautiful sight? A blossom on my tree! Yeah! It means all these cold days are coming to an end and I am so glad! I love spring!

Six Weeks

Is it crazy that I am consumed by the fact that my baby is growing up and there is nothing I can do about it?  How is it that it has already been six weeks since he was born?  I know I probably said the same thing when he was one month old (two weeks ago) but I just can't help it.  Though it is so much fun watching him grow (literally he seems to change every day) I wish he wouldn't not for forever but just long enough for me to get in all the lovin' I can before he just wants to squirm out of my lap.  I am enjoying this little guy he is a dream baby and as much as I don't want him to grow up it is fun to see him smile and laugh for the first time to find his voice and to see his big brothers and sisters be so gentle and loving with him.

Happy Happy BELATED Birthday!

I guess my good intentions are not so good! As of today I am only 2 weeks late on wishing my hubby a happy birthday! Better late than never! He was out of town for his b-day so we celebrated the Sunday before. I made him a cheesecake and we sang to him. Pretty exciting, eh? I know you all do better but I do have a pretty good excuse for not planning something more elaborate and P is holding him in the pictures!

Bubbles!

Isn't she just the cutest thing ever!  She tried and tried to blow bubbles and kept putting the wand too far away and then she got it!  She was thrilled!  

Hello Goodbye

We are the only people in our family to life out of state so once in a while we get to have Flat Stanley come visit. We took him to the kids school, to the Little Miami River, and to a few other select places. He is finally back on his way to SLC we will miss Flat Stanley! At least I will other than E he was the only kid in the house not to complain about a thing such a happy little traveler! So until next time Adios!

A month old already

Our baby boy has already been with us for over a month now. Crazy how fast time goes. I think we have all adjusted pretty well. The kids just adore him. They are so very sweet with him and want to hold and take care of him. I can only hope that they will always feel that way for him. B is determined to come up with a nick name for him. So far she calls him B-boy or E-boy. P calls him chunkers or chubbers, (which hopefully won't stick) and I call him my baby bear. He is so much like a little baby bear cub. Soft, cuddly, cute, grunty, happy, bright eyed mischievous boy. Anyways I really couldn't ask for a better baby. He is the perfect ending to our little family. Heavenly Father has really blessed us I couldn't feel more thankful.

Our Six Pack

Tick Tock stop that Clock!

How I wish I could record every tiny little detail of my life right now. So many moments just slip by and time just seems to tick even when I wish it would just stop. I used to feel like days would never end and yes we still have moments where I can't wait for the sun to go down to get a peaceful moment to myself but I also realize how fast the time I have with my little ones is going to go. Already it seems that the time we have with J is on the down hill slope. He will be 10 soon and that means 9 years and we could be sending him off on a mission. How did that happen wasn't he born just yesterday? So I am doing my best to enjoy them in every stage and see the beauty of it all. (even when my daughter is whining)
