Pool Time!

We're loving having a pool so close and more than a couple days out of the week we spend our afternoons there. Here are some of our fun pictures!

Will is often found sleeping while in the pool. Wouldn't that be the life!

Beck in full playing-mode! He's such a fish!

Silly girl!

Floatin' with my babes!

One of Beck's favorite things to do

Tess and her pool buddy, Koen

Spent a fun day at the pool with some of the Brown cousins...notice that all 3 babies are passed out, haha! It was such a fun time!

Buzz!

Will's hair was starting to fall out and then grow in a funny pattern, so we buzzed him. We buzzed Beck when he was little too and his hair grew back so nicely, so fingers crossed that we get the same results with Will. He didn't love it and cried the whole time, but he looks so cute now and his head is so soft...I love it!

He was not about to smile for me after what I just did to him, haha!

Will's buzz inspired all the guys to get their summer buzz on. Here are all 3 of my guys and their new dos. (not sure why none of them wanted to smile though, haha)

10k

During 4th of July weekend my good friend and I ran a 10k. It was fun and hard. Lots of hills and we only trained on flat roads, but it went great. Since we've already gone half the distance we're planning on running a half marathon in Sept and Oct. I'm very grateful to have a running buddy!!

They took these silly pictures on mile 5 of the race. Wasn't sure what to make of them, but kinda fun to have an action pic!

This was after the race in our front yard. We were so proud of ourselves :o)

True LOVE!

This little man has a hold of my heart! He truly makes me so happy and has been such a wonderful baby. He's not perfect, but every time I look at this cute face I can't help but forget sleepless nights and crying fits during the day.

As kids get older and mouthy and stubborn we tend to forget how perfect they come into our lives and how the simple smiles and first laughs can make pretty much any bad day better. It's been my goal to try and remember that every time I look at my kids and Will is a wonderful reminder of that to me.

I am grateful to be a mother and so grateful for my special babies that I and blessed to take care of.

Happenings

It's been a while.... Here are some random pictures to get you all updated on our happenings

This was during our move from the condo to the house. The kids sat like this and watched movies while I cleaned. Funny thing that I couldn't get Beck to take that silly bike helmet off, haha! It must be one of his comforts or something, seeing as a helmet made his cute little head what it is today, haha!

We are one of the lucky ones that got to move next door to our best friends! These 3 kids go everywhere and do everything together! It's been so fun for us all!

We've also been lucky that our neighborhood has a small HOA fee and we have access to a great pool and club house. My sister lives really close to us know and they often join us for some fun in the sun. This tends to be what Beckham and Izzy do....sit by the pool and eat :o)

Here are the other cousins...Ethan, Liv, and Tess. So nice that they are great buds!

And this is what little man Will does at the pool, haha! Kinda makes it nice for me cause I'm able to soak in a little more sun during his naps....love Utah summers!
