Grandma is here to play:)

K so I finally make a decent meal (which doesn't consist of a box or frozen bag) in a long time and Mikey is out of town! But I was thinking of you sweetie, so I had to take a pic and let you know:) Chicken Enchiladas. It was actually pretty easy to put together, so I'll have to try to cook more often for you. (yes it looks disgusting, but it was delicious.)


This past Saturday we went to Ut to Mike's family reunion. It was pretty fun. I wish I would have brought my bathing suit though! It was a super hot day! It was fun to get to see everyone and chat. We brought a sick Grandma home with us. She hung out for a couple days in the bedroom upstairs until she started to feel a bit better. We are so glad she is here!

They rented a big huge blowup jumper thing. It was super fun! And a huge waterslide. Lincoln was so brave and loved going down by himself. I was really surprised and proud of the daring boy!





We did a family fear factor. It was pretty fun! But of course me and Tyler came in last place!





Daddy and Linc

They all took off to go see the doggies

I love that the 3 of them are playing together!



I had to get a pic of Lincoln and Logan together (this was the best pic I could get of them both holding still) They so could be brothers!

We are especially glad Grandma is here because Mikey left on Monday to Casper for a week. The engineer are all rotating weeks over there because there are a lot of jobs going on, so this week is Mike's turn. Its so so so nice to have Susan here to help out with everything. I've been so much calmer this week. Which I'm surprised I've been as calm as I have been because seriously the last 2 days Sequoia has hardly slept during the day! Hello, where did my newborn stage go!? I thought I at least got 2 months of beautiful sleeping time. No. She is so alert its crazy. I'm hoping this is just a few days thing with her. And she's a crier. Awesome. About every other time she eats she screams for a while after. Usually not so cool with that, but I've been ok. I went to a work meeting yesterday and missed half of it because I was out in the hall while she cried.

Grandma and Lincoln playing

Oh what do you know, she's AWAKE!

Hanging out watching a "show"


Check out those beautiful blues! I always wanted a little girl with brown hair and blue eyes, what a sweetie:)



I'm so bummed these are silly positions! I didn't take them this way and even when I fix them on the computer, they sill post this way. Bummer!!

Silly boy!

Lincoln is so funny! He is either super sweet and way fun to play with and a super good boy, or freaking out! Its pretty much when we are not at home. Anywhere in the public with people around he is a little rascal! I've gone to the store twice this week and he has been a little bum! After a while you just ignore it, whatever. Sorry to all the people to have to hear it! What happened to my sweet little boy!? He is getting so big too! Its crazy how fast they grow.

Although I can't complain too much. One of my favorite things about Lincoln is that he loves his nap/bedtime. He is super good about it. Yesterday I had him give Sequoia and Grandma a smooch just for fun (he always gives smooches before bedtime) and all the sudden he was at the bottom of the stairs holding his bunny ready to go to bed. It was so cute! So I hurried and got his milk and took him up to bed. He's a good little boy for that.

Since I have to sit down and feed her and can't do anything and I wonderfully get to wake up a few times throughout the night with her, I decided to read the Twilight series over again. I love them even more so far, which I didn't think would be the case. Kimi pointed out that you notice more details, and I have. Its been kinda fun:) And me and Bonnie are almost done with Gilmore Girls! I'm super sad! We only have 2 more left and are watching them tonight. Its the end of an era. I know I'm going to cry!

It has taken me forever to get pictures on here on the kid's room! I wanted to wait until it was all done, but I can't anymore. And its going to be a little longer to completely finish. I have to fix the curtains and get them up. But I absolutely love it! Its totally out there, but I don't care at all! Its exactly what I wanted. And I know Linc loves his room too. Mike was such a sweetie heart to work so hard getting it all painted. He did a wonderful job and I really appreciate it! By the way, he just finished with another painting project in the house. I came home from Ut last week and he had finished the hall upstairs and the bathroom. Its totally out there too, but I love it as well! Pictures to come...but trust me, its worth the wait!










Our new van, ok new to us! I love it! Its so big and has so much more room! I'm so happy we got it. It was so good to travel in. And it worked out perfect that Tenille wanted to buy her car back. Nice! And yes I know, lame-0 Buick and minivan mixed!?? Oh well! I think its awesome!



Sweet brotherly love. I think Lincoln is going to be just fine adjusting to his new baby sister:)

I think when you have babies closer together, they adjust more easily and after a while can't remember when they were the baby. Poor Donovan will be too old to have an easy adjustment. I have the feeling there will be a lot of jealousy when we have another one.

That room turned out ADORABLE!! And so did your baby! Sorry life has been so hectic for you lately! It will get better.

I wish I had taken my swimming suit to the reunion too. I thought I would be too embarrassed about my post-baby body, but really, it was so HOT I wouldn't have cared!
Maddox is always up during the day too. He has been staying up all day since he was born. :P I heard babies are supposed to be sleepy, but he came out wide awake & hasn't changed his mind about it. At least he sleeps well at night.
BTW the room is SO cute! I'm jealous.

It was fun to see you guys at the reunion! And I hate to say it but with girls you just have to get used to more crying (usually loud) and just more emotions all around :)

Congrats on the little girl! I couldn't remeber what you were having. Lucky to get one of each right off too! I'm so excited for my girl! And so fun you and your sis had babies at the same time!
The kids room is darling by the way!
