Little Fish

Kaylin learned how to swim this summer. It's not graceful by any means, but it gets her to where she wants to go. Angie got her some goggles and since then she's been under the water more than above it and has figured out you go a lot faster! Here's a little video.

This one is Kaylin jumping in to Travis. Then she swims in the deep end to the side. Aren't you so proud Grandma??

Smiles

I don't know how to rip this video so that it just shows the end, but it's worth the wait! ;) I hate that you can hear me on it in the background, but that's what it takes to get a smile. :)

Officially 2 months old!

Sweet little missy is officially 2 months old! I loved this picture because it shows her cute little profile. Her hair is still staying blonde and her eyeslashes are getting so long! Her eyes are still blue (I hope they stay that way!) She's very content and even tempered, but likes attention (which she gets plenty of!) As soon as she's wrapped, she searches for her passy and is out like a light. She is in constant smiles these days. In moments when she stops, it's for concentrating on "talking" to us. She works up so much to get a little "coo" out! It's so cute. Below is her in all smiles, wrinkling that cute nose. Just a doll.
This is her classic passy look. As soon as you put it in, she furrows her little brow and looks at you like a stranger. It cracks me up.

Puts a smile on your face

Reading scriptures as a family, can you guess which story?
We asked the kids, "What would you bring to the promised land?"
Kaylin: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Chicken Nuggets (someone hungry?)
Ethan: baby's crib, kaylin's room, mommy and cars.

Kaylin comes into my room and says, “Your son is messing up my house!”
Later I’m feeding Aidrian and she comes up to her with a tape measure, measure her and say, “Your baby is the perfect size!”

In talking about Kaylin's new school...
"Kaylin, your new school will be Welch Elementary."
Kaylin: I thought it was going to be Kindergarten Rocks? (a book she got from her Pre-K teacher)

Kaylin telling an amazing story that I said, "really?" to, she replies:
Yes! I saw it with my bery own eyes!

At grandma's house, Kaylin saw the picture of all the siblings together and says,
"Grandma there are your treasures."

Waiting for Travis at work so we could eat lunch together Kaylin says,
"What's taking Daddy so long? Maybe he's going potty?"
(I thought my fam would get a kick out of that...)

Sweet sweet baby...

Smiley Aidrian

My cute little 8 week old is smiling and giggling so much! I love it! She'll stare at me from her bouncer while I eat and wiggle, squawk and just beam at me...
She can spot her crazy siblings and will smile at them too--I guess babies don't hold grudges yet!

Families can be together forever...

Travis' youngest brother Brandon went through the temple today...it was a very special day. 3 years to the date when we went for Danen. I love that kid. He's going to be a great missionary. Little does he know how much we will miss him.
Me, Brandon, Vicki, Travis and Brad.
Me and Travis. Lovey Dovey. :)

A day in the life...

Travis taking the kids on a dirtbike ride...usually it's the scooter, but Brandon's bike needed a quick start...They both love it and would spend all day on it. We are buying them helmets, don't worry! Pretty Kaylin all grown up! I'm still trying to grasp that she'll be a kindergartener this August!
Ah, the love these two have for baby Aidrian. I'd say she puts up with a lot! But they are very sweet to her...maybe loving on her too much?? The face says it all...She does have a new cry where she curls her little lip under--that's her sad cry.
Ethan loves dressing himself. Mostly it's any shirt he can reach, the same shorts from yesterday and in this case, none. Here he's sporting his belt and a superman cape.

3 little babies at 7 weeks old

Travis thought it would be fun to post all of our kids at the same age. So here they are, all 7 weeks old. It was so fun going back through their baby pictures...seeing the similarities and differences. They all have the cheeks tho! Not that the pink and blue don't give it away...but can you guess who is who?

Little Missy

Baby Aidrian is 7 weeks old now. She coos, smiles and blows tiny bubbles. Now she actually gives us reason to stare at her all day long, as if we don't have anything better to do! She is the cutest little thing!

Daddy and Aidrian Sunday afternoon.

Talking to mom...

Awake, alert and happy. She's such a sweet baby, just looks around happily until she's tired, she'll let out some yelps for me to come and wrap her. My cousin Rachel made the quilt that's under her. Isn't it pretty!?
Aidrian having some tummy time...but of course it's never alone, Ethan is always next to her. He's getting better at not yelling in her face, but he sure wants to play with her!
