Life around here...

Benjamin is a side sleeper...pretty much he's adorable! I've never had a baby that sleeps on his side. It's really darling. Oh, look at those chubby cheeks!

Some soccer Saturday's are colder than others!

Jake and Isaac turned 5. Which means we through a GIGANTIC 5 YEAR OLD party. Jake dreamed up his party. He dreamed of a bike party at the water park, with a bike parade, pizza and ice cream sandwiches.

Isaac loving his party.

Between cousins and friends this turned out the be around 25 kids. WOW.  It was the best party yet!

The bike parade.

 

A few favorite new birthday gifts.

Happy Ben, enjoying his highchair.

One chubby baby!

Jake's new 5 year old bike. What a great surprise!

Adorable Caleb.

Happy Mothers Day to the most amazing wonderful mothers in the world! I can't imagine my life without all of you by my side. You are truly an inspiration and strength to me. I love you all!

BEST. BABY. SURPRISE.EVER

Chubby Baby...So cute I could eat him!

 

 

 

Kid Pictures...There are a lot...because they were SO darlin!

Well, thanks to a darling neighbor who introduced me to FotoFly in Draper, I decided to take my FOUR monkies in for a photo-op. I could hardle wait to get the photos to post them for the world to see! Let's just say I loved it. I'm so glad I braved the experience all on my own with these four bundles of joy. They turned out so darling. Each little personality. I'm totally pleased and would refer ANYONE there. Ok, I know I don't have to post all of these pictures, but I am doing it for the grandmas, great-grandmas, aunt's, uncles and cousins that don't get to see these beauties as often as they should. Seriously, SO CUTE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, he really is this darling and SUCH a handful. It's a good thing his little smile melts me!

 

 

 

 

 

He is as sweet as they come.

 

 

Our only princess.

 

 

 

Baby...Baby...Baby

I'm 6 months old!

Ben is pretty excited about getting BIGGER...let's just say this kid is a tank. Chubby, heavy, and totally adorable.

He watches everything you do!

I finally propped him up in the boppy to see if he could sit up and play. He couldn't sit...he more leaned, but he was SUPER happy for a few minutes in the new position.

I love this new phase of loving toys. He brings everything to his mouth and really is entertained. I love this chubby little guy!

Soccer Saturdays

Well we caved. We put our kids in soccer. I guess our lazy Saturdays will now consist of soccer games and whiny younger kids on the sideline. Honestly, it was awesome. It helps that the family also has all their kids on the teams, so it's always fun to sit in a camping chair, and visit with family and friends. Not to mention to enjoy this amazing weather. We all left with some really good sunburns! 

Alayna, Conner, Olivia

Yeah, he's an All-Star in the making. Let's just say that Jared is really hoping this is Jake's sport of choice. I think by next season he will have a better idea of what's actually going on. Let's just say you can tell this is his first attempt at soccer! So fun and entertaining to watch though.

Lovin the game treats and drinks!

Let me introduce you to the "Blue Dolphins...also known as the Fabulous Five-some" we were so lucky to get all 5 cousins on the same team! Yeah, for Coach Uncle Grady.

Alayna and Ashlyn...pretty much inseparable. These two "best" friends as Alayna says are so happy to play together. Jared is the coach for Alayna's team. He's loving it too. We were able to get 3 other girls the same age from the ward to play with them. It really is going to be great fun.  

Ah...sleeping baby on the sidelines. He fell asleep on my legs. Pretty much he was adorable. Caleb was a tad difficult to keep track of, chase after and keep entertained. I have learned next week I will bring a bigger stroller, more snacks, more water and sunscreen. Pretty much, I think I could get used to being a soccer mom. It was the best Saturday yet! As long as it doesn't rain I think we will really enjoy these next 7 weeks.
