Our Weekend

Sunday afternoon we went up to the Phillips family reunion in Hobble Creek Canyon. The kids had lots of fun and were both disappointed we did not camp this year. I was not up for camping with little Nick. Hopefully next year.

Miss Mustacheo

Check out the drool on his face. I caught Kate letting him suck on her little bread stick from her cheese and crackers. He was really enjoying it. He is giving her the eye code for "more please".

On Monday we took Max's car that Papa Ned gave him to the other grandpa's to store it there. We thought he would have more room to ride it. I think the adults had just as much fun driving it.

Mom and Kate going fast as lightening. Kate was having a fit...


I love her face you would have thought we were on the Salt Flats doing 200 MPH



Grandpa Sutch taking his turn. He already has plans for the big renovation on it.
We made our final trip to the pool, for the season, Friday night :( I love summer so much it makes me sad it is over. I hope we have a nice pleasant Fall. No snow too soon, I think I am allergic.

I wish...

I really, really want to go to the ocean. I have been dreaming of the ocean, when I think about it I can smell it, hear it and feel the sand between my toes. I guess it is good to have dreams.....

Nicholas....

Nicholas is 2 months old and I can't believe how fast it has gone. He weighs 11 lbs 6 oz, at 2 months he weighs the most out of my kids. He is a very mellow baby but when he has lost his patients he will let you know. He smiles a lot if you come by in the morning. He loves to coo and blow bubbles when you talk to him. He loves to play and stick out his tongue when you do the same. He is sleeping through the night about 90% of the time. He is very strong and is already trying to push up on his knees on his tummy. He loves to snuggle but at times he is really hard to hold because he pushes and arches his back to get to the position he wants.I left him on the couch and came back the other day and he had made a quarter turn while on his back..yikes he is my mover already. He still has all of his hair and is growing a bunch of new in front.

He loves his big brother Max. What a bond they already have, if Nick is awake when Max gets home from school and Nick hears Max he starts kicking and looking for him. I wondered how Max would be with him and he loves him to death and will do anything to help me take care of him.

My little thumb sucker, it is so funny to watch him try to find it.

I love how much love, laughs, and happiness this little guy has brought to our family. I can't imagine life without him now!

Name that baby....

Who is who??? One is Nicholas, Kate, and Max and they are all about 2 months old in the pictures. Name that baby...

School time already?

Max is starting 2nd grade and his teacher is Mrs. Combs. We have heard really good things about her. Max came home on said he really liked her! Yay!

Kate is starting preschool with Miss Misti! She loved it and the first thing she said to me was..Mom I bet your house was lonely without me! It really was!

I love the new adventure of a new school year and Max was super excited to see his buddies, but I have to say I was a little sad to see school start. I have really loved being home this summer with my kido's. Max has been such a big help to me and I really have been missing him. High hopes to a great year!

LUCKY...

I was making cookies today and I gave the mixer beater to Max and Kate to lick the extra cookie dough off. Max told me "You are sooo lucky to have us to lick this clean for you!" Just one of the many reasons I am a LUCKY Mommy!
