Baby Blessing

Skye had a successful blessing day a few weeks ago. She had lots of visitors who supported her. She was a happy/tired little girl that day. Max just ran around crazy with all his cousin's. lets just say by the end of the night he was not happy. He had an hr long melt down because he wanted to ride in his Grandpas car which was not going anywhere.

 

Skye is wearing the dress I was blessed in. And she is lying on quilt which was hand made by my great grandma. It is the blessing day blanket.

 

The proud father. I like this picture of him.

 

Max and Skye at the end of the day. We sure were tired. James parents stayed the night in town and spoiled us.

A new Family Member

about a month ago my brothers family welcomed there 4th child and only girl, Taya to there family. She is about 6 weeks I think, younger then Skye. We are so excited for Skye to have a buddy (is is ok for girls to have "buddies"?) I made a quick visit to there house a couple of days after she was born to introduce myself and Skye. Max and James stayed home. My Sister in Law Caroline tends to have big babies (and Taya was big, 9lbs and 2 weeks early) so I kept telling them that Her baby as a newborn would be the same size as Skye at 6 weeks, but when I held her that was not ture at all. My baby was a chunk and the pictures show it. I just wanted to share our excitment with you.

Its been a while since we have seen them because of the holidays and we are sick or they are so Taya could be a giant by now. I am sure I will be posting more pictures of her. Plus their boys are super friends to Max. He just loves them. They let him be mean to them (he is a toddler) and are patient with him.

St George

We took a little vacation to St. George Thanksgiving week kind of out of no where. As i probably have said before that we stay at my Grandpas house when he isn't there. He is about to head down for the winter so we thought if we wanted to go, then now was the time before he hogged the house the rest of the winter. We headed down on a Saturday and apparantly missed a big storm. We didn't really plan around weather. We just knew either we go now or don't go for another 6 months. Sunday was a windy cold day. Since we have a little baby and its Sunday, we didn't do much. Max was going CRAZY. i finally told James to take him to the movies just so he can get out. Is that wrong of me? So Max went to the theater for the first time and did very well. Then on Monday the weather was much better so we did all we could with a baby and almost 2 year old (pictures below). Then everyone was calling us about a storm that we didn't know about was coming on Wed. and that we should not drive through it. So we watched the news and they made a big deal about it. WE were not sure whethere we wanted to leave on Wed or Thursday but Wed was just feeling right to me even though a big storm was coming through. So we packed all up that morning and sped home as fast and safly as we could. Lets just say we made it home in 5 1/2 hr with a 40 min break to take care of Skye (which she did awesome in the car). We were not going crazy fast or anything. Its as if St George became a shorter trip all of the sudden. Anwyas, we made if home about an hour before the big storm hit and we sure were glad we got home when we did because Sardine was going to be a big mess. I will just say LUCKY!!

 

James and Max walking back from the pool. It was kind of cold water. Max was shivering.

 

Max at the dinasour museum. A kid poked him in the eye here our of no where. So James stared that kid down because he was mad at him. So as the kid lift he made sure James saw him sticking his toung our at him. IT was so funny! James was beat by a 3 year old. By the way. This museum was not a fun place for a toddler, but I liked it.

 

James and Max jumping in the sand in snow cannyon. It was a little to cold and breezy for Skye so we hung out by the car. Some nice people from Texas took this picture.

 

about the only picture of Sky and me in the car about to finish our ride home. She has such kissable cheeks. Oh and she went to the Dr. and he said he was fat. 80% for weight and 90% for height. Her head is I think 40%
