Pizza Guy

We stopped at a pizza place on the way to Idaho Falls for Ashley's blessing. Nick's slice was bigger than him! He couldn't hold it, so he is eating it directly off the plate.

Ashley's Blessing

We blessed Ashley this past weekend in Idaho Falls. We had most of our family (about 40 people but I didn't get pictures of everyone. Sorry.) there with us to share in this special occasion. Brian gave Ashley a sweet blessing and there were not many dry eyes in the room when he was finished blessing her. We love little Ashley so much and are so happy she is a part of our family.

She really loved the ribbons and kept grabbing them.

I even made little shoes to go with her dress.

...and I made the headband and flower.

Cousins: Megan, Emily and Jessica

Annie made the baby that never cries, cry. Just kidding, Annie. Ashley was tired and hungry.

Ashley was so tired she slept through most of the evening.

Ashley, Three Months Old

Ashley is three months old now. She is still an easy-going happy baby.

Her brothers sure do love her a lot.

Mathias

Nickolas and Mathias.
Nick has been really interested in potty training and the other morning he got a pair of Mathias's underwear out and put them on. Notice he has both legs through one hole. I took him to Target yesterday and let him pick out his own underwear. He was so excited and had to hold them the whole time we were at the store. We started potty training him yesterday and he is doing great so far. The only accidents he has had are because mom or dad didn't take him to the bathroom fast enough.

Big boy underwear!

Riding their horse.

Messy Face

Nickolas was playing outside with Mathias and was mad when I made them come in. He laid down on the floor in front of the door with his dirty little face.

Valentine's Day Party

We went to a Valentine's Day party with some friends and had a good time.

Nickolas was so tired he was falling asleep decorating his valentine bag.

Mathias decorating cookies.

Playhouse!

A friend of ours is moving across the country so they gave us their playhouse. The boys LOVE it! Every time we go from the garage to the house they have to make a detour and play in it.

Sledding with Friends

We went sledding with friends last week and had a lot of fun. Nickolas kept falling over in the sled so he decided it would just be easier to lay down in the sled.

Jaxon, Elliot and Mathias
These three are all about the same age and had fun going super fast down the hill.

He really was having fun. Promise.
