Please Tell Me...

I need people to tell me to stop yelling at this baby! I keep asking him why he just doesn't want to grace us with his presence. Enough already little man! Isn't 9 months long enough? We certainly don't want to drag it out longer than that!

Or do I?

Should I just enjoy getting more than 3 hours of sleep at night? Should I just appreciate 3 boys who can do things on their own? Should I enjoy not having to pack up half my house every time we leave?

I can't make up my mind...

So I guess I'll just keep letting this little guy be in charge...

At the Beach in Utah

We went to Willard Bay with some friends and their jet skis. :) The boys LOVED the beach - too much love for my taste. I realized that I am really just not an outdoorsy, get dirty kind of girl. (I guess I've always known that, it was just reaffirmed.) They had fun throwing the sand all over and at each other, and I held my tongue just letting them get filthy. And they had even more fun when they got to ride the jet ski with Seth. What a fun afternoon!

How I've Been Spending My Summer Vacation

I don't think these really need much explanation. With Seth for a dad, there's no way they couldn't be playing t-ball already. And we definitely are getting lots of it. There was one week that between Easton, Cole and Seth we had baseball games every single night of the week! (I can only imagine what it will be like when Peyton and baby are old enough to play!!!)


Check out this concentration...


Not always completely focused...
Good thing I LOVE watching my boys play!

Down to Single Digits...

I can't believe how close my due date is! I am down to 9 days left and I can't believe how fast it's flown by. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and we'll see if there's any hope for this little guy coming early, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

Thought I'd take a picture of how I look with my big belly. Thanks to Easton for his great photo taking skills. :)

Happy Birthday Coley Cole!!

Or Co Co, according to Peyt

I can't even believe our second child is now 4 years old! How time flies!! What a sweet, smart, wonderful 4 year old he is!! He makes us laugh all the time and is constantly impressing us with his knowledge and memory.

One week in May the preschoolers were supposed to bring something that started with "Q" (the letter of the week) for show and tell. Cole came up to me that morning and asked "Does cute start with Q?" When I said sorry, but no. He said " Dangit! Cause I wanted to bring Peyton for show and tell!"

On the drive from Arizona to back home, Easton and Cole were telling us that they only wanted to drive to home and not drive anywhere again. Cole said "Only dad can go far places now!" (knowing that his work is in far off California). And Seth said that he would just make the boys go. To which Cole replied, "No! Cause I won't put my shoes on!"


Cole had a small birthday party on Friday with some friends at Chuck E Cheese. (I think he could go there every day and not get sick of it.) We had a lot of fun!
Batman cupcakes (I took the easy way on these ones)

Stuffing the pizza down so he could have frosting (yes, he only licked the frosting off and didn't touch the cupcake)

Normally, we sing Happy Birthday in the morning and they get to blow out candles on pancakes, waffles, muffins, whatever they choose for their birthday breakfast. Cole totally shocked me and picked cereal. So we had to sing to him at lunch with leftover pizza. :)
On his real birthday (Sunday) Grandma and Grandpa and TJ and Tara came over to celebrate.

Showing off his present from the TJs.
His Batman cake. He got up one night from bed, about a week ago, and asked "Mom, how many days till my birthday?" After I answered him, he got a huge grin on his face and said "I want a Batman cake for my birthday!" I told him that sounded awesome and then he turned around and went right back to bed.
