Happy 2nd Birthday Nickolas!!!

Nickolas turned 2 on March 19.


He weighs in at 25 pounds and 33 inches tall (25th percentile for both). He is a happy and funny kid and wants to do everything his big brother does.



Pulling a funny face.

Party!

Furry Monster Cupcakes!

We had some friends over to celebrate Nick's birthday. Nickolas wasn't too sure what to think about our singing (we are all tone deaf) or if he was allowed to blow out the candles.

With some help from friends Nick's candles were blown out but then he wanted to do it himself.


4 Months Old

Ashley turned 4 months old on March 12. She weighs in at 12 pounds 5 ounces (10th percentile) and 25 1/2 inches tall (80th percentile). She is a happy baby and is always smiling and jabbering. She doesn't laugh much just like her big brother Mathias.


Ooopsy!

Ashley pulled her headband over her eyes and thought she was pretty funny.



Happy Girl

Finally!

Last week was the first time this year it was warm enough to play outside without getting bundled up. The boys had fun being snowplows with the little bit of snow that was still there.

MIA?

I have not posted in a while and this is why, I have been really busy trying to put a craft fair together. We have had a lot going on since my last post and I will try to update our goings on later. Here is a link to my Bitsy Boo blog for the craft fair.

So Pretty!

Nickolas was helping me make some hair bows and wanted to try one on.


Wearing my boots.

Children's Museum

We bought a familyship pass to the children's museum and the kids love going. Here they are digging for dinosaur bones and burring Nickolas.



Nick is buried in the back corner with the green bucket on his head.


They love the water works exhibit.


Brian showed them how to race the boats through the channels they created.
This is what Ashley thought of the museum.

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.

Ashley in her dress that I made for her.

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.
