St. George

We went to St. George again with Darrin's family. This is the 3rd year we've been to the same condos and again, we had a blast! We did all sorts of things: Swimming, lots of hikes, going out to eat, playing on the playground, swimming some more, napping, went to a trampoline place, saw Men in Black 2 (Really liked it), and spent a lot of quality time with family. I love Darrin's family and I'm so glad we were able to go again this year! Just look at the pictures and see all the fun we had :). I'm way behind on my blogging-next comes a blog about Parker's 2nd Birthday!

Spencer's Blessing

This past Sunday we had the opportunity to bless our sweet baby Spencer. Darrin did such a beautiful job giving him his name and a blessing. Can I just say I LOVE MY BOYS?!? Every single one of them. I'm out-numbered now ya know? :). Let me tell you a little bit about my newest addition Spencer: Let's be honest, he's a very good baby and he doesn't fuss much. When he does, he's usually consoled by a binky. He LOVES that thing!! Parker loves to give him kisses, hugs, give him his binky (and then usually steal it to give it back again), and when he cries Parker will tell him, "Shhhh, It's ok Spencer" or he'll simply tell me "He's sad!" :). Spencer's smiles are SO precious! I could swear that he poses for the camera already-at least for me :) when I start snapping pictures he usually grins it up. He's been cooing and talking more lately which is so.dang.cute!! Spencer has a strong preference to stand over laying down when being held. When it comes to tummy time, he's usually ok when he has his binky on his tummy and then he usually gets real comfy and falls fast asleep. Sleep wise, the past week or so his first stretch of sleep will be about 6 hours and then another 3 hour stretch. Not too bad. So, for the most part I get three hours of sleep the first stretch because he's obviously in bed way before me (Bad choice Trisha!), and then another three hours until Parker wakes up. This is not counting last night where he was up every hour or so...it happens... BUT nonetheless, we love having this kid around and can't wait to see more of his personality come to life. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband who is such a help to me and the kids, and my boys who bless my life with massive amounts of sunshine!
