Easton's birthday

Easton turned the big THREE on October 2nd and he got several fun little outings to celebrate. It makes me sad to think how big he is getting, two months after he potty trained and after a major rough start is now a pro. He is getting so independent! Even though he can be MAJOR dramatic at times...we sure love him and his funny little voice and mannerisms. We love you Easty Beasties!

We celebrated a little more the week after when our families came into town for Cohen's blessing. My sister Angie and her cute family came a little early and we went to Salt Lake to go to Discovery Gateway Children's museum with them.

Halle and Easton. She sure loves him even though he is not so nice to her all the time!

The next day my whole family, shannon's parents, and my cousin Katie and fam came up and we all went to Chuck E. Cheese's to have a little party for Easton (I will never do that again, paid twice the amount for crappy pizza) but it was fun to have everyone there! Here are a few
pictures from his party...

Wake me up when September ends..

In September we had a fun visit to Idaho for a week while Shannon was in Chicago on business. Cohen was just a couple weeks old and already being missed by the fam. My little sis Whitney was nominated for sophomore homecoming queen so we got to see her in the parade and the assembly and I got to help with her hair. I also got a chance to meet up with my gorgeous friend Stef Collins who traveled out from Iowa and who I haven't seen since Easton and her little girl Maggie were just newborns! It was SO great to see her!

Me with all the kids (she's a much better at taking pics than me)

Her two precious girls Marlee and Maggie with my boys...Maggie and Easton were only born a month apart? Aren't they precious? I just loved them, such dolls.
I didn't love taking pics with her, seriously not fair that a woman can be that skinny after having two kids...for real! Makes my excuses of 'I just had a baby' seem pretty lame!

loved snuggling on cohen

Can't wait to see you again soon Stef! Love ya!

Mom, Whitney, Hailey, and I after her assembly. I look horrible, but I was the one responsible for her hair, getting myself and two kids ready after still being up every two hours, and getting to the highschool by 8 am. I barely made it in time. A rough morning for sure! Glad before mom passed that she was able to be a part of this, and grateful she was having a 'rare' good week and was feeling well enough to come.

What a beautiful little sis I have!!

Did this beautiful girl's hair for homecoming...

Cohen at almost 4 weeks old! He grew SOOOO fast.Best baby ever, for real! This kid has to be really hungry or sleepy to even cry...love him so much!

Isn't he a doll?

Easton is super into doing things with his daddy. Wanted to help in putting in solar lights in our front yard.

all dressed for church!

Our fat baby...only a month!

Cohen's first week

So I have SO many things to post about...but adjusting to the whole 2 kid thing has been a little rough on me, not to mention Easton lost my camera cord somewhere so a new one is being shipped in the mail right now. So here is the start to many posts!

A couple days after delivery we got a few visitors

Aunt Shelly came delivering gifts and goodies...

My cousin Katie, husband TJ, and kids Taylor, Peyton and Jack came to visit too.

Four days after having Cohen I drove to Idaho to visit my family. My mom is going through rough chemo treatments and since she wasn't feeling well enough to come to Cohen I brough Cohen to her. Everyone thought I was pretty crazy to make that trip 4 days after giving birth but it was actually the easiest trip I've made so far, both kids slept almost the whole time!
