Miss M 3 months

Miss M is three months old. I can not believe how fast time flies. She is such a happy baby.

Some things about Miss M at three months. She is chunky, loves to smiles, loves her big brother and he can make her laugh better than anyone, loves to hit toys and play, chews on anything she can get into her mouth, sucks on her 2 fingers or fist (no binky with this one), has Conan O'brein hair, hates tummy time so she rolls to her backs, close to rolling from back to belly, very awake and alert, sleeps great during the night, talks all the time (she takes after her mommy), and last cute as can be and has everyone wrapped around her finger.

The other picture is Little A and his friend Tanner yes Tanner is a lot older than Little A by 10 years, but these two loves each other. Tanner was one of my hubby's 11 old scouts. On Saturday he asked me at the church if he could come over and play with Little A. They are enjoying a Popsicle on the front porch. The picture was taken through my dirty window that is why it is blurry.

Andrew Cowboy

Last year when I was still working Little A was babysat by an amazing lady in Richmond, he will still ask if he can go there some days. There were three other children there that Little A loved. They gave him the name Cowboy Andrew. It was funny to me because they were are from big farming families and Little A was the city boy in the group. Little A loves to be a Cowboy, we had attended a few rodeo this year and now all animals buck Little A off. This video show Little A getting bucked off his stick horse. He did this for about 20 minutes yesterday.

Run Lance Run

These pictures are backwards sorry. After the race that night we celebrated Reagan and Samantha's birthdays. The had a great party. Little A loved the treasure hunt and the pinata. I love the picture of my parents with the 2 newest grandchildren (Kyson and Miss M). The other bottom picture is of Little A jumping on the tramp with his daddy. Little A was laughing so hard.

Lance ran the Top of Utah Marathon this year. I tried to find a picture from my wedding 5 years ago to show you what a different person my brother is now from then. Every year this race inspires me and I cry while watching all these people with the dedication they have. In the middle of the race Lance still has enough energy to make a funny face while running. The middle picture is blurry but it is him crossing the finish line.

Some of the girls after the race. Kim and Jodi have a neighbor that our family loves and she ran part of the race to help her running mate. After the race she came to give lance a little pep talk.

New Paint

On Saturday we decided to clean our yard and then work on some things inside the house. I have wanted to paint a table that was given to us when we moved into our house. Thanks Uncle Steve and Aunt Carolyn. Steve would die if he knew that we painted his solid oak table.

While in the store trying to decide what color to paint the table I found this orange color. I said to Adam I might want to paint a wall Adam was taken away. I have told him that we are not painting for years. We ended up with the orange for the wall and olive green for the table. Little A so a big helper. Top Left Little A was holding down the chair for his daddy. Top right and bottom left is Little A painting the wall and standing in front of his paint job.
Finished product. We are getting family pictures taken so we are going to develop a big picture and hang it on the wall. Now I am going to have to buy some decorations to put on my table.

Flour Fun!

Little A loves his little sisser as he calls her. At first we had major problems but we now have the opposite problem to much love.

He always wants her to cuddle in his bed with him to get warm. I think they both look so happy in this picture. It makes me know that they will be good friends. When ever I put her in her bouncy seat he wants to entertain her or lay under her. I love that picture she is looking down at him like get away and let me play.
Last week I was making some bread. While I was making it Little A started to play with the tub of flour. The flour in that tub had gotten old so I could not cook with it any more. So I thought it would entertain him while I was baking. Next thing I knew he wanted to play on the floor with it. So I laid out table cloth and let him play on it. He was driving his tractors, and dump trucks through it making piles. He had a variety of scoops too. He was having so much fun and it just keep spreading next thing I knew is was all over the floor. Still when we walk on it some times flour will come up. Miss M slept though the whole thing. Please excuse the no shirt little A was took it off because he wanted to keep it clean. I am just glad that he did not care about getting his pants dirty.

Johnson Cabin 2010

The last weekend in Aug. we headed up to the Johnson family cabin. The men set out to put in counter top in the kitchen while the women did a variety of different jobs. Little A and Miss M loved it, they were the only kids so they got a lot of positive attention.

Aunt Karli and Uncle Zach were there too. Little A loved throwing rocks into the lake. This picture is right before he jumped into a puddle of mud. Little A and Miss M enjoyed some movies while we were there. I love how Little A is holding on to Miss M hand.
Grandpa Johnson (Papa Bob), Little A and his dad started a fire. We went out and roasted marshmallows. We had a great time. I am so mad at myself that I did not take a picture of Grandma Great (Adam's Grandma) with my children. Little A and she formed a cute friendship.

Miss M 2 months

Here are some fun pictures of Miss M at 2 months. She is really starting to love her brother and he is getting so much better with her.

The other night we were cooking dinner on the grill so the family was all out side and Little and Miss M were enjoying some relaxing time in their comping chairs. The other day we had a fun time hagging my cousin Katie's kids over. Taylor came over to help she is going to be an amazing babysitter. Miss M loves to lay on her stomach, she already rolls over from her stomach to her back. I love the smiles on both of my kids faces in the last picture.

Kyson Ryan Dattage

My brother Ryan and his amazing wife Jamie had their second child on Aug. 17, 2010. The family was there to welcome him into this world. He was 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long.

When he was born he had to have oxygen and a few other test done on him, but he is okay now. Above are the cousins waiting to get to see him! Hunter just loves to hold him.

When he got home we went to visit him and to compare the babies. Miss M is about 2 months older than him. Just so you can tell they are both wearing a Carters 0-3 outfits and Kyson's is just hanging off him and Miss M's is skin tight. She looks like a monster. In the second picture they were both doing the same thing with their arm.

Fair and Good Boy Chart

We went to the fair this year as a family. Miss M was so little that she slept through the whole thing so I did not get a picture of her.

Little A. favorite thing was all the different tractors that her could climb and stand on. His favorite color right now is orange so when he saw this huge (in his words) orange tractor his day was made!
Little A really wanted a new Diego toy so I told him he could make a good boy chart and earn it. While he was great and earned his 10 stickers and we headed to the store and the Diego toy was gone so instead he got a truck and a horse trailer. Little A loves working in the yard with his dad. He loved using papa ridding lawn mower.
