Cute Boys

They are always so cute right out of the bath. Couldn't resist!



My Mom is always giving the boys things that I wouldn't...let's say, for example, Red Vines! This is Cade being spoiled by Grandma Lori.

Shaking Your Head is FUNNY!

Like I've said before, Cade gets super giggly when he's tired. He was out of control with laughter when Daddy started shaking his head at him. The funniest part is to watch the boys try to shake their heads back!

Carson's Latest Trick

The boys are really into mimicking us these days. This is one that Carson is doing ALL of the time.

Meeting Chandler

We got to meet Chandler yesterday. What a handsome boy!!! We had a fun, productive day. When we got there, it was a pink nursery with a closet full of pink clothes. When we left, it was a boy nursery filled with tons of cute boy clothes. That baby is all set. I'm so glad I was able to spend the day with my mom & sisters. Lindsay is doing such a good job...I was super impressed. Here are some more pictures for those of you who are waiting for more...like me!

Auntie Lauren

Yes, those are girl pants with a ruffle across the bum. We made sure he had some boy pants before we left!


Poor little thing has a rash on his cheeks and chin so he's a little red. We had just put some cream on it so he's a little shiny too...but still so, so cute!

Mid-sneeze!


I love this picture of him...but he was still using that girly binkie. Before I left, I made sure they got rid of it. They had a hard time parting with it!

Helping with the Laundry


Cade says Hi!!!

I love Carson peaking from behind the pillow. We put the pillow between them to avoid tears...caused by the bonking of heads, pulling of ears, etc.

New Toys at Grandma's



We had a fun cousin day yesterday. Grandma watches Chase every Thursday. He was wondering what was going on when the twins invaded his territory. They actually played pretty cute together!

Amy's new vacuum

Here's Amy's new vacuum. Our boys screamed whenever our old vacuum came out, but they like to chase this one around the house. Miele (that's what we call her) is like a part of our family now. We see her quite often and she's pretty much Amy's new best friend.

The word is out!

Just wanted to let you know that Lindsay has updated her blog. Carson & Cade are so excited to have another BOY cousin!!! Okay, maybe it's me who's excited. We are happy that Chandler is a healthy baby boy (even though we threw a huge baby GIRL shower!!!). Here's our new family motto: Boys Rule and Girls Drool! We can't wait to meet him.

Lots of Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to me...yesterday!!! Happy Birthday to Shane's brother Jeremy...yesterday! Happy Birthday to the newest Chandler Grandbaby...TODAY!!! Lindsay had her baby a little earlier this evening. Mom and Baby are doing well. I want to give all the details but I'm going to wait so that she can spill the beans. Hopefully I'll see some pictures soon. We are so excited for Wynn & Lindsay. They will be great parents.

I had a low-key birthday. Shane is working right outside of Twin Falls this week so I packed up the boys and we came with him. I wasn't about to spend my birthday alone while my hubby kicks back in Twin! It has worked out well because we have help from Grandparents...which is really the best gift a Mommy could get! We are enjoying our time with the fam.

I got my birthday gift a little early this year. I've never been more anxious to use my new "toy." I have been begging for this gift for awhile now and Shane finally gave in and bought me my vacuum!!! Ya, that's right...vacuum! I LOVE it! We have been needing a new one for so long now and it was a glorious day when I took my Meile (that's the brand) home. We got it from my Mom's cleaning center. We did our research and are super pleased with the purchase. I'm the kind of girl that likes freshly vacuumed carpet on a daily basis so it has already been well used. Thanks Shane. You must really love me! Maybe I'll post some pictures of me and my new best friend soon.

Just Hangin' Out!

We had Brady & Katie over on Sunday. I went out on a limb and tried a new recipe hoping that it wouldn't be discusting...pretty risky when you're serving guests. It acutally turned out to be really yummy, unless they were all just lying to me to make me feel good. I'll get the recipe posted here soon. These are just some pictures from the evening.

Umm...yes, my house is a WRECK!!!



Fun Day at the Park

Christy and I took the babes for a walk on the green belt and a picnic at the park. We are trying to enjoy the few days we have left of nice weather. We had a good time. Baby Emery is now 4 months old.



Emery, Cade, & Carson

"Fertility Stumpers"

I just wanted to make aware a new blog that has been created. "Fertility Stumpers" is for those who may be struggling in the area of infertility. I know that it is so nice to talk to people who have been there. This is a place where you can read about others' experiences, ask questions, and get support. Hopefully it is helpful, as this trial can be heart-wrenching. I have a link to the blog if anyone is interested.
