3 Months Old

Blakley is 3 months old today! Where did the time go? She has seriously been such a blessing in our family's life. Everyone loves her and just can't seem to get enough of her. I thought the newness of having a baby around would have worn out by now, Boy was I ever wrong.

At 3 months Blakley:
is smiling like crazy
is reaching for the toys hanging from her carseat
can roll from her tummy to her back
loves to carry on conversations with whoever will listen
is sleeping 7-8 hours at night, eats and then right back to bed
loves her bath time (splashing is her thing)
loves her big brothers
is definitely a mommy's girl (only cause mommy=food) but loves her daddy to hold her
loves a blanket near her face when she tries to go to sleep
is wearing 3-6 months clothing
loves her binkie
loves eating her hands



We love you so much Blakley and are so glad that you are in our family. We can't imagine our lives without you!

Grandma Sue: "Because your mommy has too."
Carter: "Why?"

Who says chunky isn't cute!

Tanner's letter to Nate

Back in November for Family Home Evening, we wrote letters to my cousin Nate. He is serving in Washington. We mailed him the letters but somehow Tanner's did not make it to the envelope that I sent. I ran across it today while I was cleaning my kitchen. I just had to copy what he wrote:

To Nate from Tanner
I'm so glad you are a missionry nate. you shoud be
the Prophit. I miss you so much nate.
you are so nise. are you having a fun
time? I'm tring to be like you evryday.
Do you miss me? You are the best cusen ever.
I love you nate.

The cute thing about this letter is he went up to his room to write it all by himself and was so proud when he was done. Good Job Tanner! I know that Nate will love it.

My little missionary!

So sweet-A daddy and his princess both tuckered out after such a big event.

Blakley's Blessing Day

Today, Blakley received the sweetest blessing from her daddy. Clint did an AWESOME job. Thanks babe. Blakley did good, too. We had the family over for a luncheon after, but our camera was dead and we didn't get one picture. YEAH for us losers! Lucky for me, I had these pictures taken last week.

She looked like such a princess in her blessing gown.

Aunt Wendy's Soccer Game

Last night, my boys got to go see their Aunt Wendy play soccer. Tanner played his first season of soccer this year and is really diggin' it. So he thought it was really cool to watch Wends play. Her team won 9-2 and ended up taking 1st place for the season. Go Wends!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Clint surprised us and got tickets to go through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. My boys were excited to go through the temple and look around. We had an extra ticket and invited my mom to come with us.

Hot day + Looking into sun = Bad Picture!

Gotta Love Brothers!

Carter just found out that the stroller that we brought was for Blakley and not him. Too Bad So Sad!

Garage Sale at Grandma's House

Since the passing of my grandma, the family (mostly my parents and my Uncle Bob and Aunt Jo) have been fixing up her house and cleaning it out. We decided to have a garage sale to sell some of her things. She had a collection of everything. You name it, she collected it. That's probably why I have a tendency to be a pack rat. I save everything, too. Everyone in the family was invited to come up and help. Who ever could come, came! We had a fun time. My dad entertained us all by dressing up in various items and making up stupid skits. Love you dad!

Zermatt

Clint and I went up to Zermatt to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! WOW 10 years! Love you babe! Blakey got to tag along with us :)

It was such a fun place that we decided to take the kids up the next weekend with Cody, Wendy and Bentley!

Carter and Troy wanted to go on the Carousel. Tanner chose to watch with the Grown-ups (Way too cool for something like that)

After dinner, we went swimming:)

Every time Bentley got close to Carter he would reach for him and then when he got close enough he would kiss him. KISS KISS :) Carter loved all of your kisses Bentley!
