Miss M roll over!!!

Miss M. was only three weeks old when she decided that she wanted to roll over from her stomach to her back. Today she decided it was time to master the back to the belly. After laying there for awhile she was back onto her back no more laying her on the bed or the couches with out worring about her falling off. Also she has found her voice and loves to use it. During the movie she was so proud of herself that she was just a telling us.

Conference Weekend at the Ranch

Three of my favorite things happened last weekend: General Conference, being with my family, and being at my dad's ranch. Everyone was there except Lance and his family and we missed them and their jokes. Do you worry there was still plenty of joking and having a great time. Conference was so uplifting and always gives my a fresh new start and hope. Jeff is known for the outfits that he is willing to wear to get a good laugh. This time he found a wore his old high school baseball pants, he had them on when Kim's family got there and welcomed them in them. Miss M is loved a adored by many I am sad that I did not get a picture of it because Taylor held her and played with her about 95% of the time she was awake. Reagan is enjoying a book and some cuddle time with Miss M. One night we decided to roast marshmallows and make smores. Little A loved the real fire as he would call it, right now in his life he is always lighting fake fires and putting them out as a fireman.

Little A enjoyed playing Air soft with his dad's help and riding on the 4-wheelers (he calls them motors). Mitch it teaching Samantha how to shoot an air soft gun. We also enjoyed some horse back riding and fishing which I did not have my camera out for those activities. Little A also helped grandpa in the tractor cutting hay the first day we were there once again no picture but he is still talking about it.
Kendal would not climb the fence she was too scared so the other cousins set up ninja training activities for her and by the end of the weekend her and Reagan were out to climb every fence at the ranch. Above is a picture of Reagan, Hunter and Kendal during one of their trainings. Miss M loves being out side aunt Jamie brought her out to enjoy the warm weather we had. The two newest cousins enjoying time with their daddies. Yes Ryan's face is really that ugly.
Jordan was the cowgirl of the ranch she spent many hours with papa on the horses. She became so good that grandpa did not have to lead her horse. On her last ride right before she got to the house she started to relax too much and the horse was done and shook its head and off came little Jordan. She was a brave little cowgirl about it.

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.
