Baby Mamas (Put a Sling On 'Em)

My friend showed me this video and it gave me a great laugh. I sure do love my slings!

Easton's blessing day.

Easton's Blessing Day

February 7, 2010

Notes from his blessing that Jordan's mom took. I was so grateful for this since I was wrestling with my other children during the blessing on top of the fact that Easton was crying during his blessing as well.

"bless you with a love for the gospel. Live according to the teachings you will receive at home. You will have the opportunity to serve the Lord on a mission and to be sealed to an eternal companion in the temple of the Lord.
I bless you with a loving heart. You will have a calming influence in your home.
I bless you that you will grow spiritually, physically and intellectually into the man that your Father in Heaven wants you to be.
I bless you with an appreciation for the love you feel in your family."

Easton is truly a blessing in our home. We feel so lucky and blessed to have him. He is such a happy, sweet, and smiley little boy. Each one of our children add their own unique special trademark in our home and we love them all so much!

On this day, Easton's cousin who is only 3 weeks younger than him was blessed as well, little Rylee Ann. She is such a sweet little girl and it will be fun for these two cousins to be so close in age.

A wonderful lady that Jordan's family knows has made a blanket similar to these for each one of my children. This time with the weather being so cold, she made a hat as well. She does such a great job.

Jordan's mom attempted to take a family picture of us and this is how many takes it took to get one with at least all of us looking forward with no eyes closed! I have come to the reality that this is what our family pictures will look like for the next few years.

Jordan's parents came up to be a part of this special day for both of our families. It's always fun for the kids to see Grandma and Grandpa. The boys favorite part was at the pool in Grandma and Grandpa's hotel. They had a lot of fun and still talk about it.

I had to do a collage of Ava, she had a lot of fun. She is such a sweet girl. Daddy and the boys took her around the pool in the float tube and she was making all the boat noises right along with her dad.

One thing is for sure, we always eat well when Grandma and Grandpa are around.

Some more fun family memories

We had family home evening on Monday night and popped out our fire pit to roast some marshmallows and make some smores after our BBQ. It was a lot of fun being around family and enjoy the weather as it SLOWLY starts to get warm again!!

Ava has been loving the swing set these days. Gavin was being a really good big brother and was pushing Ava and Easton.
