Rolling Over

My cutest little boy rolled over for the first time a couple of days ago. He will do it from his tummy to his back, and will only do it 3 times in a row then he gets mad. He gets so happy when we clap and cheer for him it is so cute. Zach tried to get him to do it while I was at work, but said Holden wouldn't do it at all. Then I tried and he instantly does it. I guess Zach doesn't have the touch. Just kidding! Holden is just becoming more and more a little mommy's boy, which is ok with me! I have more pictures to post and will do it soon. Just wanted to make sure I posted about him rolling over so I remember.

Happy 3rd Birthday Princess Ella!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA ANN!!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

THANKS FOR BEING THE CUTEST GIRL AND

SO FULL OF LIFE!

YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO OUR FAMILY.

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!

LOVE YOU!

Busy bees

It was such a fun summer! I had the whole summer off and enjoyed every minute I was a stay at home mom. We went to Lake Powell, St. George, Park City, the pool (almost everyday), the park, shopping, etc. We took lots of naps, ate lots of food, and enjoyed our time together!

I sure got used to staying home, but sadly had to go back to work in the middle of August. It is still as hard as the first time leaving your kids to go back to work. I am thankful though this time Zach is able to stay home with them when I am working, and I only work 2 full days a week. Then half day on Fridays. Its not bad, and it helps that my manager works with me. He is flexible with me and understands that me being a mom is number one. I am also trying to start running. Believe me I hate running with a passion, but I have gone a few times and its not as bad as I thought. I told Zach that I would love to run the Ogden Half Marathon next May with him. So I am going to try and keep up with running so I can do that. I know its not a full marathon, but for now starting out I am going to stick to "trying" the half! Other than that I am just busy being a mom to the cutest kids!

Zach is still busy working hard. He still works weekend graves, which he will be doing for at least a couple more years. He is still working out everyday and keeping fit. He is going to run the St. George Marathon for the second time in a month. He says that it is his last marathon, but he said that last year after the St. George marathon so we will see. He is also busy playing Mr. Mom on his days off while I am at work. I am thankful that I have such a great husband who loves his kids more than anything, and loves being with them. He really is an equal partner when it comes to the kids, and I love it. Helps me out so much.

Ella is always busy doing something. She is still sassy and too smart for her own good. She is full of life and makes us laugh everyday! Ella has an opinion about everything, and well let you know. She is the biggest helper with Holden and loves making him smile. She is also into picking out her own clothes now, and will tell you if it matches or not. She is growing to fast. The other night in bed she started crying because she didn't want to grow up anymore, she wanted to stay little, and be with mom and dad forever. It was the most precious thing. We love her so much!

Holden is busy being the cutest baby ever! He has grown out of the colic stage, which I am very thankful for. He also is taking a bottle while I am at work. He wouldn't take one until my mom found one that has a nipple like a breast and the flow is more natural. It is actually really cool and so glad that we found it or Zach would have been coming into my work 3 times a day so Holden could eat. Holden is busy smiling, being chubby, cooing, and trying to laugh. He loves his mommy and loves cuddling. He loves his daddy to, but is already becoming a mommy's boy. He is changing everyday and is the highlight of the house!



So sweet!!

All the adventures can wear a little girl out!

Kind of a sleepy smile.

Holden loves my hair just like Ella. There are a lot of times when Holden is holding one side and Ella has the other. Instead of a security blanket they have my hair!!

They both love taking a bath together.

Holden's Blessing

We blessed Holden on Sunday August 8th. Zach did such an awesome job and gave Holden a wonderful blessing. Holden woke up right before and I was so nervous he was going to cry. I told Zach to be ready to yell over the crying, but Holden did great and didn't cry. My brother-in-law told me he looked at him at one point in the blessing and Holden was smiling and happy as can be. We had a lot of family come and support us for this special day. Thank you to all that came and showed us how much our little family is loved. We love you all!

Discovery at Gateway and Park City

We have been busy this summer spending lots of time together, and having lots of fun. We took Ella to Discovery at Gateway for the first time. She loved doing everything. Her favorite by far was the life flight helicopter you could sit in. She also loved dressing up like Snow White and playing the stage. It was a lot of fun and we want to take her back maybe when Holden gets bigger and can play with her.


Then we took another adventure to Park City. We took Ella on the Alpine Slide which she loved, and also on the new Alpine Coaster. My mom and dad went up with us so we could take turns watching Holden. We enjoyed every minute we were up there. Thanks mom and dad for a fun day!
