Hyrum's first day of !st grade!!

I took Hyrum to get his hair cut last month and he said he wanted to be able to do a Mohawk with his hair. Of course I would like to make him look handsome once in awhile too so we decide to meet in the middle. I think it worked out. So on the first day of school of course we had to do his hair in a Mohawk. He looked pretty good if I don't say so myself.

Hyrum couldn't wait to get to school so he could play on the playground. I think that is his favorite part. Just like his dad! :-)

I asked him what grade he was going into and this is what I got. He looks like he is trying to dance. I love it!

He has been in school for a week now and everything is going good so far. He rides the bus to and from school and luckily the bus stop is right at the corner by our house. Works out really well for me! He likes his new teacher and says he only has a few of his friends from last year in his class with him this year. But that's okay because he says he'll just make more friends. Good thing he told me that because I was really worried! :-)

Baby Pics

Arah came over about a month ago and got some photos of Evelyn. She are a few. Evie was a little cranky so we didn't get as many photos as we would have liked, but the ones we did get turned out pretty well. Isn't she so beautiful. I just love my little angel.

I'm still here

This summer has been a little crazy with having a new baby and third child in the house and everything else that goes on during the summer I haven't had much time to sit at the computer and update the blog. Unfortunately I am unable to find my thingamajig to hook up my camera to the computer to load my pics so I am not able to post the fun pictures I have of everything we have been doing this summer. I tried just putting my memory card into the lab top but it requires me to format it and if I do that I will loose all my pictures. I don't think I want to do that. So as soon as I can I will get my pictures posted so you can see how beautiful Evie is getting and see all the exciting things that we have been up to these past few months.

Comparing Evie and Avery!

Avery is my little sister Melody's baby boy. He was born May 27th at 5:47 am. He weighed 6lbs and was 19 1/2 inches long. In these pictures he is a week and a half old and Evie is 5 weeks old. Evie looks so chubby next to him, but she was 8 lbs 12 1/2 oz when she was born so she did have a pretty big head start on growing then Avery did. We are very happy for Melody and her husband Adam. Avery is a very cute little boy and we our proud to have him as our nephew.

Student of the month!!

Hyrum was chosen by his teacher for Student of the Month for May. We are so proud of Hyrum. He has grown so much this past school year. He started off a little behind in school and with a little help from us and his teachers he is right up there with the top of his class. He is very creative and his teacher can't say enough good things about the stories he tells and the creative pictures he draws.

Good job Hyrum we love you and are so very proud of all your hard work!!

Life with Little Evie

I was worried about how Noah would do with another baby in the picture and it was all for nothing. He absolutely loves being a big brother. He loves his little sister and doesn't mind giving the title of baby to someone else.

My boys and Evie. What a fun little family.

I got this headband from my sister-in-law Amber McCombs whose sister Natalie made these. Amber still has a bunch in case anyone is interested. She also has some cute little braclets as well.

Flower headband was a gift from Aunt Holly & we love it.

Hyrum is very proud big brother.

Hyrum and Noah both just love their new little sister. They are so sweet with her. Always wanting to help with feeding her and changing her diaper. They have to kiss her before bed every night and every morning when they wake up. Evie is one lucky little girl.

Mama and little Evie.
I couldn't be happier to have my sweet little girl in my life. I am truly blessed.
