Easton

Easton tells me all the time how much he loves Addie and wants to hold her and be near her. He is so sweet to watch with her. I caught this the other day and it brought a tear to my eyes! He is such a sweet boy. I think it takes a special kid to be surrounded by sisters! He loves her so much and I love to see special moments like this that puts it all into perspective!

4 Months Old!!

Addie turned four months old this last Tuesday the 27th. These first four months have gone by so fast. I feel like she was a newborn for two minutes and has seemed older to me than she really is, it is weird. She has brought such a joy to our family! We all love her and adore her. She gets a lot of attention, which means when someone isn't talking to her, holding her, or something like that she tends to get upset, we've kind of spoiled her that way! From 3 to 4 months she changed a lot. She hates laying or lounging and wants to sit up so bad. Anytime we try to put her in her bouncy chair she tries to sit up. She just wants to see everything. She loves to be outside. She loves me the most :). She already has a mama's girl complexion. I left her with my mom for 15 minutes a couple weeks ago and she got so upset and cried/screamed the entire time and calmed down when I walked in and took her. This last month was her best month of sleeping. Some days I would have to wake her up at 9:30 or 10 in the morning because I needed her to eat! She has kind of grew out of that sadly. She is really close to sucking her thumb or her fingers and can always be found with them in her mouth! I took her to the Dr on Wednesday for her well check. She did really well for the doctor. She weighed in at 13 lbs 7 oz (30th percentile) and was 24.3 inches (45th percentile). Her head is 41 cm which is 60th percentile. She dropped a little in her growing from two months but she also started sleeping through the night and dropped that feeding so that explains that! She had to get some more shots this time as well and was so sad! We really do love our Addie girl and love watching her grow and learn! She does really well to go with the flow! 

Ella was helping me take the pictures and so she is looking down at her in most of them but she did help me get some smiles!

Yep, clothes are still huge!

They ask all day long if they can hold her, I don't mind but it does get old sometimes and I feel like that is all I get done is letting them hold her!

Still blows my mind, how did I end up with three kids all of the sudden!

Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day this week! Sunday night we went to my Grandparents graves and put flowers on them. Monday morning we got up and headed to breakfast with Andrew's family. His Grandma was in town from Montana and so we spent the morning with them. Andrew had to go to work (seriously annoying.....and he was really busy, even more annoying.....) but he does have a job so we can't complain to much. I went home and gave everyone a bath and then we headed to do some shopping. We then went to my Grandma Duzett's house for a BBQ. It turned out to be such a nice day! My kids played outside the whole time we were there. They really do need a yard! They love playing with my cousins Will and Olivia, all the little kids just adore them! 

Playing in the soccer goal!

Some of our yummy food!

I love these two!

My girls!

Andrew finally got off work, he left a couple hrs early, seriously it was a holiday so he doesn't care if he gets in trouble! He spent some one on one time with Andrew playing Frisbee. Easton just loves his dad!

They put on a skit!

They may not be looking but they are all smiling, perfect!

All the great grand kids that were in Utah, there are 5 1/2 missing, plus Olivia, my youngest cousin. It was sort of a goodbye picture. My cousin Molly's husband graduated from the University of Utah's Med school last weekend and they left the day after this to move to Michigan for residency. It was hard to say goodbye! Her two kids are on the right end and we will miss them, only 3 years!

I realized I didn't have a picture of myself to prove I am alive!

And Addie is done with the photo shoot!

Dance Recital

May 17th was Ella's end of the year dance recital. She was so excited to dance on the stage again. The first dance she froze for a few seconds not really sure if she wanted to do it but ended up doing great! She remembers her dances better than I ever could. She loves dancing and has been sad the last few Tuesdays that it is over for the summer! Her first dance was the Ugly Bug Ball which was her ballet dance. Her second dance was a Marry Me dance and was so cute, that one was her tap dance. She did really well in that one and didn't freeze. I loved to see her perform, she is so happy! Afterwards we went with both our families to chick fil a for dinner to celebrate Ella and it was also her half birthday! I don't have her second dance pictures yet of the marry me dance so when I get those from my sister in law I will post them.

My cousin Andrea's little girl Hannah was in her class and she loved having her in there!

Park and Swimming

The weather has been so nice the last couple weeks! We have spent many hours at the playground and other parks playing! The kids beg all day long to go play and can see it out the window and love to inform me each time someone is there!

Our pool opened on May 15th! We went that afternoon since it was mid 80's that day! We have since been about 6 more times! We are really trying to enjoy it since we are probably moving before summers end!

We usually end up at the pool right when Addie needs a nap so she usually sleeps for a little bit which is nice!

Then she wakes up and is so happy, she loves her butterfly!
