Cooking with G!

Sometimes the only thing that will calm Grayson is if I wear him around. So today I was making brownies and he decided it was time that he get in on the action! I can tell, he is going to make great things someday soon!

My Boys

We Finally had a snow day at our house! It snowed all night and dumped a ton. It was really wet snow, so the kids had a lot of success making snow balls. They were so excited to finally see some snow on the ground that they played outside for hours! Then at noon, the snow turned to rain and our snow went away. We were just so glad that we had one morning this winter to play in some snow!

Grayson's Blessing

On Sunday January 15th we blessed Grayson. It was such a special day and we had so much fun having family at our home. I am so grateful for a husband who is worthy to have the priesthood and who can give our family such special blessing!

All About Molly

Molly is 3 now and she is such a big girl! She isn't quite potty trained yet, mostly because I just had a baby and she is very stubborn! She loves to watch Spongebob. She thinks that dresses are pretty great and she loves to dress up. She is forever wanting to put my makeup on her face and every time I do her hair she says" I'm a beautiful girl now!" She talks really good for her age and she will forever talk your ear off if you will just listen to her. She has started going to Primary now and she thinks that it is great to be a Sunbeam. She loves music and will sing along to all the songs in church, even though she doesn't know all the words. She still sings at the top of her little lungs. She loves shoes and anything that's expensive (She knows how to pick the good stuff!) Let's just say...I have a lot coming my way! She still has blond and curly hair. She loves to play outside, no matter what the weather is. She loves to eat Macaroni and Cheese and slices of cheese and cheese sticks and... well you can see what she likes the most. She loves to drink water over almost anything else. She is still nervous around dogs, but she is starting to get a bit braver. She wants to be just like Lilly, so she tries to emulate a lot of the things that she does. She's a great big sister and a semi/sort of pesky little sister! She brings so much joy to our family and her giggles and smiles light up our family every single day! We love you Molly!

2 Months Old

Grayson is 2 months old! I can't believe how fast the time is going by! He is such a great baby. He only gets up in the night once and then he goes right back to bed. He is the slowest eater I have ever seen and takes 1/2 an hour to an hour to eat. Needless to say, you can almost watch an entire TV show while he is eating. He isn't smiling yet, but he is very alert. He loves to look around and he loves to especially look at his sisters. You can tell already that he thinks they are pretty great. He still sleeps quite a bit, which I tend to think is pretty nice, but he doesn't like to sleep in his bed during the day. We are working on it! He is fully on formula now and that has been a bit of an adjustment, but he has done pretty great. He is a champion burper and always chooses the best times to do so (sacrament meeting, in others faces, etc.)! We love having a baby brother!

In Mermory

My Grandpa passed away on January 3, 2012 and Grayson and I just got home from the funeral. It was a beautiful service and I enjoyed learning things I never knew about my Granpa. It has been such a blessing to know you Granpa. My life has been truly enriched because of you. Until we meet again.....WE LOVE YOU!

New Years Eve

For New Years we were able to go to the cabin to visit Aaron's parents and also Peter and Gretchen and their kids. It was so nice because it was the first time that everyone got to see Grayson and it was our first time seeing Zech since he got home from his mission. We made delicious donuts and we rang in the New Year (by sitting on the couch and trying to keep our eyes open!) We were so happy to be with family for the New Year and we hope everyone had a great one!
