Garett Started Preschool

Garett started Preschool on Tuesday. We are doing a preschool co-op with some other moms in our neighborhood. He is excited to be a big boy and go to school like Grace! He did great on his first day. He was a little bit nervous hiding behind me and and being a little grumpy, but as soon as Miss Amy mentioned games he perked right up and went to play. I'm excited that he gets to have something special just for him and that I get to have 2 hours twice a week with just Sophie!








I love this cute face, and my very sweet loving boy. One of my favorite things about him lately is that he says, "I love you, mommy" about 50 times a day.

Just Playing

Sophie's been loving her playmat lately, her favorite thing is to kick the ball and listen to it jingle. The only problem she has is when she scoots herself away from it and can't reach it anymore.

3 months

Sophie is 3 months old today! I have loved every minute I've had with this sweet thing over the past three months! She is such a joy. A few fun facts about our Sophie girl-
*she slept 9.5 hours last night- without eating or even having to stick her binkie back in! Now if Garett would stop waking me up......
*she is so smiley when I get her up from naps. I love that she puts herself right to sleep when I lay her down, she'll usually sleep around 1.5 hours during her naps if she doesn't get interrupted.
*she laughed tonight! She has been on the verge of laughing for about 2 weeks now, but I haven't been able to get it out of her. Tonight she finally broke through and gave me a full out laugh! I loved it and can't wait to hear it again and again!
*she is mesmerized by the fan
* she turned a full circle in her crib. She is starting to move/wiggle more and I think rolling over will be coming soon.
*I feel so lucky to have this sweet baby, I love her so much!
*she still tolerates her siblings love. The other day Grace told me that I will be happy to have her gone to school so she won't maul Sophie as much. She is showered with a lot of love!
* I hardly ever put bows on her head because I just Love to see her hair!
* she is getting some nice rolls on her legs and her cheeks are round and oh so kissable!












































Garett loves his sister too, but if you ask him if he's a big brother ( or a super hero, or a big boy, or anything else) he'll say, " I'm not a .........., I'm Garett!". I love that kid!








Life could not be sweeter with my three little loves!

Chinese Jammies!

We love these Jammies! We had a smaller pair for Grace from when we lived in Singapore. When one of Ben's coworkers went back over there we requested some more of these. I had some similar ones when I was a kid too!

Hanging with Daddy

Life is good when you can lounge all singled up with your favorite man in the world!

Playing @ G&G Harper's

We had a fun day at G&G Harper's a few weeks ago. Uncle Kyle came home from his mission for knee surgery so we were able to visit him. Garett thought it was a good idea to slide down the banister.


We went to their Stake Carnival and the kids got their faces painted.


Ben took both the kids out for a ride on Uncle Bryan's motorcycle. They loved it and Ben's been pining for a bike again.

Grace's First Day of Kindergarten

Grace started Kindergarten! She was sooo excited! Her teacher is Mrs. Anderson. Grace is going to a charter school by Ben's work so he will be able to drop her off in the mornings. I took her the first day just in case Grace had any apprehensions about school. She didn't....she wanted me to drop her off at the curb and leave. When I insisted on taking her in she was annoyed and kept telling me to leave. I didn't really get a chance to be sad about her starting school because she was being such a stinker. I guess she's always been totally independent and she is so ready for this new adventure! Plus she looks adorable in her uniform!









We love you Grace and know you will do awesome in school!
