Wesley Is 3 Months Old.

Wesley turned 3 months old on September 20th. The time has gone so fast and he has grown so much in the last 3 months. He is still a really great baby and we love having him in our family.

Trip to the Zoo

We went to Hogle Zoo last week with some friends in the ward. It was a lot of fun because the animals were actually out and moving around. Lydia had a great time and Wesley slept the entire time we were at the zoo. Can't get much better than that!

Who Remembers Ice Blocking?

A bunch of friends from our ward decided it would be a great idea to go ice blocking for Family Home Evening. We got 8 blocks of ice and headed for the park. The kids had a ton of fun and yes the adults did too. I have to say, my butt was a little sore from wiping out, but it was all worth it. Next time, we'll have to find an even bigger hill.

The men taking a ride together. This was probably the funniest scene of the night, especially when they wiped out at the bottom. Gotta love the dads . . . always entertaining.

Happy Birthday Rafael!

Happy Birthday Rafael!!

Rafael turned 31 on September 3rd! We had some friends over for pizza and some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. We are lucky to have Rafael in our lives and love him very much!

Wesley's First Trip

We decided to head out to 5 mile pass on Labor Day to go 4 wheeling with some friends. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to take Wesley and go out with everyone, but I decided before we left to put him in a front baby carrier and do a trial run down our street. He didn't seem to mind so I decided I would try when we got there. I bundled him all up, got him strapped in and we headed out. Well, . . . he slept almost the entire time. When he did wake up, he just looked around and then fell asleep again. So, I am going to say it was a success! We had a lot of fun as a family and hanging out with our friends. We can't wait to head out again.

I Love Computers . . . When They Work.

Computers are a great addition to our lives and help us accomplish a lot of tasks, but when they decide to quit working . . . not good. Let's just say it wasn't pretty. I wanted to throw the computer out the door and pound it into a million pieces or run it over with our truck, but my better judgement stopped me and we have decided to see if we can fix it, plus I didn't want my neighbors to think I had all of the sudden gone insane or become violent. It was a laptop so if it can be fixed we will just keep it as a backup computer. I am now typing from our new computer that, if it knows what is good for it, better work perfectly for at least the next 5-7 years.

Big Sister Lydia

Lydia loves being a big sister. She wants to touch, hold, kiss and love Wesley all the time. She really has been a great help except for those occasions when she literally can't stop herself from touching him (usually when he is asleep). She just loves him so much, she can't get enough.

I don't think Wesley always appreciates all the love from her, but hey what are big sisters for? Obviously to terrorize their little brothers!

I am really lucky to have two great kids and I love them to death.
