Summer Fun

I am getting so far behind on blogging.  We have been staying busy and having fun.  Last week we were running from sun up to sun down everyday, but that is what summer is all about.  Playing hard all day and falling into bed at night.  Here is a recap in pictures of what we have been up to.

Back in May we went to Kaysville's baby animals days.  Addie loved all the animals, especially holding the chick and bunny.

 She did not love riding the horse.  She made it about half way around the corral before we had to get her off

 Cousin fun

 Swimming a.k.a standing in her pool (she is a little apprehensive about being in the water, but loves to play with it)

Playing at City Creek

Learning how to pedal on her bike

 Playing at splash pads.  These are the greatest inventions ever

 Spending a lot of time at Jensen nature park feeding the ducks and running on the bridge.  Addie is obsessed with this bridge and would spend all day running back and forth if I let her.

 Logan loves to be outside

Just being silly

 We went to the Kaysville Art and Music Festival and had a blast.  Addie loves playing with these shapes and magnetic boards

And she discovered her love for cotton candy 

We have been having such a blast and I can't wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store for us.  We blessed Logan this past Sunday and I will do a separate post about that and him being two months old.

5 Years and Memorial Day Weekend

We started out our long weekend by celebrating our 5 year anniversary.  FIVE years how on earth can that be?!  It is crazy that we have been married that long.  If you had asked me five years ago how we would be celebrating our five year anniversary, it would have been something a little bit more cool than a quick dinner out.  But that quick dinner out what due to having a new baby who needs his mama so I just can't complain.  Our two kiddos are our greatest accomplishment over these past 5 years and we are so lucky to have them.  We decided to do a first together, going to the Cheesecake Factory.  Somehow neither of us have been before and now that they one downtown we just had to try it out.  We had a lot of fun just the two of us and I am so lucky to have found Nephi.

  

 The rumors about huge portions was true!

 My Sweetheart

Finishing off the evening with a peanut butter fudge ripple cheesecake...divine!

I didn't realize how awesome it would be to get married on Memorial day weekend because we always seem to have an extra long weekend to celebrate!

On Saturday we attempted to go to the Hill AFB air show and even made it onto base before the downpour of rain...dumb weather.  We decided it probably wouldn't be best to take our little out in the weather so we went to lunch instead and luckily the weather held cleared up that evening so we could go to the bees game with my fam!  

Monday we had a bbq with Nephi's family and then got together with my family that evening.  It was a great weekend and I can't wait to see what the next 5 years brings!

One Month Down

Well we have survived our first month with two kiddos under 2.  I would be lying if I said it was easier than I thought it would be to have two kids so close in age, in fact it is just as hard if not harder than I thought it would be.  However, Logan is totally worth it and I know it will be great having them so close in age when they are a little bit older.  This past month has flown by.  You forget all the work that goes into having a newborn and I am definitely looking forward to him sleeping longer at night.  He is pretty much a 3 hour eater around the clock and he is a terrible nurser, so I feel like all I am ever doing is feeding him.  It is hard not to compare him to Addie, who was sleeping 5-6 hours at night at this age and sleeping through the night by 7 weeks, but each baby is different and I am trying to just enjoy the short time he is so little.  Here is a peek into our life the past month with our sweet little man.

Getting happier with bath time

 His classic pose, the stare down

 Rarely has his hands exposed because he scratches up his face every time

 This little chick has spent way too much time watching all her shows since we've been cooped up at home

 Spending lots of time in his car seat.  He sleeps great in it, but wakes up the second the car slows or stops.  He is quite the stinker when it comes to sleeping during the day.  He has an agenda to not sleep and fights it all day long...grrr.

 Gotta love all the newborn expressions!

 There is just something about a sleeping baby

 He loves his binky but has a hard time keeping it in and gets so mad when it falls out

 My little snuggle buddy

 Hates tummy time

 Big sis helping with tummy time!  She is so good with him and loves him to pieces

 Don't you just want to eat him up!

So lucky to be mama to my littles!

Can't Get Enough

Of this little guy and these AMAZING pictures.  So hard to narrow them down so I won't!

I am one lucky mama!
