Changes coming..

Well I can't believe that it has been 2 months again since I have blogged!! But I have decided that before I post anymore on here that I as many of you have will be going PRIVATE!! Gosh, I never thought I would say that, but I have just been getting too many "visitors" that I have no idea who they are checking my blog and I want to keep my little people and family safe and so I am going to go private. So I will be doing this in a few weeks. I realize that the "private" blogs don't get looked at as much, but I feel like I need to do this.

So I hope that you will all still check in with us, even though I have been a horrible blogger lately. So please leave me your email address if you want a invite to our blog! I will not post your email addresses, it will only come so I can see them. Also if you check our blog and are a friend of a friend or whatever and would like a invite, let me know who you are and I would be happy to send you a invite as well! :)
Thanks and hopefully once we have changed this I will get some of the things we have been busy doing on here.

Our family update!

Gosh, I can't believe I haven't posted again for awhile. Summer went by and now we are already into fall. We have had some new things happening at our house and they are keeping us busy!
First off Sadie and Sawyer started Preschool and love it! My sister Michele does a preschool out of her home and they love going and being with their cousin Ireland and Aunt Michele. Sophie and I hang out at my Mom's house with our cute nephew Boston while they are at school.

Sawyer started Soccer and has done really well, he loves talking about his Soccer friends and his coach. He looks so cute in his uniform. :)
Sadie started Dance and loves that as well. She has found a cute new friend in her class and thinks it's her job to show her the ropes I guess, the little girl just let's her do it and doesn't seem to mind. She is also in the class with her cousin Ireland and I am her new teacher as well. :) I haven't taught since before I got pregnant with Sophie, but it's nice to be back and it gives me a little break from my sweet kids. My sister Michele takes them and watches them for me while I teach and I watch her kids and my kids on Tuesdays while she teaches. It works out good!

Sophie is growing so fast and I want her to slow down, she is 4 months now and such a fun and happy baby! We all love her to pieces! She is rolling over all over the place and laughs and just adores Sadie and Sawyer. I love to hear and see them playing and talking with her and making her laugh out loud, the cutest thing ever!
She also loves her daddy a ton! Every time she hears his voice she starts looking for him and just stares at him while he is talking, just waiting for him to look at her and when he does she gives him the biggest smile ever! Melts my heart it is so sweet!
 We had a great summer and are looking forward to cooler weather and fall.. Not so much winter, but I guess living where we do we get it no matter if we like it or not! :)

I don't think our lives will be slowing down anytime soon, so I am hoping I will be able to keep up on blogging better ( I hope anyway!) We hope that you are all doing well and here are some pictures of what has been going on around here! Enjoy!!

This is my nieces and nephews on my side, 19 Grand kids all together! Wow, awesome!

These are my nephews from Oregon, it was so great that they could be here and my sis in law. We missed having my brother, but he had to stay back and work! The littlest boy there is my other brother's sweet baby Boston. He was born a month before Sophie. I hope they will be good friends when they get older. :)

The kids new pictures!

A few weeks ago I took the kids to get pictures! Sadie and Sawyer's 3 year old pictures and Sophie's 2 month pics! I think they turned out cute! Here they are.

My 3 adorable kids!

I love how this one turned out!

Sadie, 3 years old.. Can't believe it!

Sawyer 3 years old, where did the time go!

Sophie 2 months old. This one scanned funny!

My sweet baby.. She wouldn't give us any of her cute smiles! But it is still precious!

Sophie in her blessing dress!

My parents always buy the grand kids their blessing outfits, so my Mom and I went and picked it out. I love it!

My twiners!! These two are so funny and love each other so much. They were being so silly during the photo shoot! Love all my kids and feel blessed they are ours!

Sophie is 2 months old!!

Sophie was 2 months old on July 16th! The time is already going fast. We love our little Sophie girl. She is so sweet and loves to smile and coo at everyone! I took her for her 2 month appointment and here are her stats: Weight 10 lbs 9 oz. 50%  Height: 22.8 75%  Head: 15 1/4 50%
She is growing great and hasn't had to much trouble with the shots that she had to have.  Just a little sad yesterday, but doing much better today!

She has the cutest smile!

She likes her swing, except when her big brother decides to push her way too high! He thinks it's a ride!

We were at a Splash park one day and there was not much shade and she was tired of being in her stroller, so we used my nephews stroller for shade and layed her under it and she fell right to sleep!

Sadie and Sawyer turn 3!!

As I was looking through pictures on the camera I realized that I had not blogged about the twins birthday party! Hello! Goodness, it was a whirlwind weekend for sure with parties also for two of my nephews the same day as the twins and family in town and stuff and I just totally forgot! Anyway so here are some pictures from their big day! We were debating on doing a big party at one of the Jump places, but then with everything else going on that weekend and the prices of the places, we decided to just have a fun home party and the kids would not know any different this year and as long as they had a party they would love it! And they did! We had two pinatas a princess and a Cars one. That was the theme this year Cars the movie and Princesses and it was fun! There are a lot of pics so bare with me! Enjoy!

Sawyer doing the same! They wanted pictures of them showing the cards. :)

My two 3 year olds!! Taking pictures was interesting to say the least with these two cuties! They just kept wanting to be silly, as you will see in the next picture. :)

I LOVE this one!! They kept looking at each other instead of at the camera, but I thought this one was really cute with the two of them giggling with each other!

My 3 cuties! Had to get Sophie in there with them!

The party table!

Waiting to open presents!

Go SAWYER!

We started out using the sticks and that didn't work so well and so we moved them over to the swing set and hooked them on there and that worked out great!

Go SADIE!

Uncle Joe and Uncle Lance were the helpers!

They had so much fun!

My sis in law Britt always make cupcakes for all the niece and nephews for their birthdays and so this year my oldest niece wanted to help her out. So Britt made the cupcakes and then told Sydney how to decorate them. I think they turned out cute. Britt gave Sadie the princess toppers also as part of her gift.

The stop light cupcakes!

Ready to get sung to. This cake was kinda last minute to order. We had the yummy cupcakes and then I decided that I would get a cake for the adults in case they wanted that too. So I got in from Sam's and they totally messed it up! Not the colors I asked for and they spelled Sadie's name wrong and instead of re writing it they just wrote over her letter "d" and you could totally tell! I was ticked off and I didn't have time to have them make a new one, so I got what should have been a $20.00 cake, for $6.00 instead! That works for me! Don't think I will go there again.

Getting ready to sing!

Blowing out the candles!

The kids got spoiled! It looked like CHRISTMAS at our house again! We thank all our family who came to celebrate with us and for all the nice gifts the kids got!
