Growing up...

Where did my red screaming preemie go? 

4 pounds                                              11 pounds

I can't believe he's grown so much in just 4 months. We have had a fun August so far...

Island Park with the cousins....

Some of the cousins are now taller than me.....

 Ian celebrated his birthday in Yellowstone. He was a good sport and we celebrated his birthday early and didn't do much for him on the day. I can't believe I have an 8 year old starting 3rd grade this year!

And no clue why this picture is sideways, but this is how Finn spent most of the reunion, surrounded and adored by his cousins and aunts and grandma!! What a lucky little baby.

My Green Pinky

Well this gardening attempt has taught me a lot. I have a better sense of how I should arrange my plants and what plant I needed to plant earlier. So far I have harvested 3 pea pods, some lettuce and 1 yellow squash. I have onions that are ready and my potatoes are doing fantastic (this IS Idaho). My pumpkins are getting a little out of control, next time I won't plant four seeds. For some reason I was thinking 4 plants = 4 pumpkins. I think we will have a lot more than that!

The Champion!

Finn slept 7 hours straight last night. Whaaat???

Finn's Big Day

Finn is almost 3 months old. He weighs around 10 pounds but still wears newborn clothes! We had the chance to host all of Mike's family and a great bunch of my family this weekend and all go to church together.  It was so much fun!

This cute little guy is sure loved by all his family. We are lucky to have you all! I have been lax on posting the fun things we have been doing this summer. Mike took the kids to Crystal Ice Cave which they loved! I took them to Jensen's Grove for some water fun. Mike has also been waging a constant war with the sprinklers, which caused him to dig a giant hole in the front yard much to the kid's delight!!

 Could these two be related? Their expressions are so funny.

I love having a backyard. Summer is going by too fast!
