Hope you have a lovely day!

The sun is shining, the meadowlarks are singing and I have now officially changed my 2 year olds pants/underwear 3 times this morning (while searching for his pants/underwear in the yard that he wet in) because he seems to forget to take his pants down to go to the bathroom unless I remind him!

About being a parent & things I don't want to forget

Chris never thought he would say "Boys stop fighting over your lima beans!"
For some reason whenever I cook mixed vegetables the lima beans are pretty special.

Hazen woke up the other night and told Daddy he needed to go pee. wow! We were both shocked. I hope he keeps this up! I won't have to wash sheets all the time. :)

It is amazing how exciting having new McQueen Undies, McQueen Socks, ice cream sandwiches, popsicles or ice cream can be when you are 4 and 2!

Fischer is starting to understand the difference between what is an accident and what is not...

They are downstairs hunting mtn lions with their bows as I am typing this.

Our Life Right Now

Beautiful Days to take adventure walks...



Finding things to pick and just enjoying the sun...

Lots of diaper changes, snuggles, kisses & just being enamored with this new person.

Mommy holding baby's feet down so I can take just the right picture. I decided not to crop my fingers out because I want to remember this little moment just the way it was...

I found these orange socks the other day! They are a new favorite around here. How can you not smile when you see this little guy with such fun socks on!

Special Company

It just worked out to have some special company since they were on there way home from a Spring Break Trip. We loved having them, and I had lots of help holding baby. We were happy to share our new baby!

49/52 Bringing Popsicles to Daddy

Before I do my mom post, I wanted to let everyone know that my dear blogger friend Alison is having a contest. Head on over to her blog to read more about the details.

Today the boys and I brought Dad and G'pa some popsicles. I put baby in my baby bjorn and he did great(he is under that green blanket). I plan to borrow a sling from a dear friend too. It felt so nice to take a walk. I am feeling great, and I had my 2 week post op yesterday. Baby also had an appointment. He now weighs 8 pounds 15 ounces...Wow!
I brought my camera along on our little adventure today, and I plan to post some of those pictures soon.
Thanks to The Rancher for taking this picture of mom and baby.

My 2nd Newborn Session

Here is a sneak peek at some of my favorites so far...
I will probably post more as the week progresses. Hope you enjoy!

Introducing Dusty Christopher...

Home with baby...oh my

Little Dusty is sitting right next to me on top of a pile of laundry that his big brothers brought out to the couch for me. We have been busy holding, kissing and changing baby Dusty. We left the hospital on Friday of last week.
This morning I mostly slept with baby. Luckily, I have good help so that I can.
The boys have been so wonderful with him.
If you came to my house you might find a small baby laying/lying (never can remember which is right) in laundry...
A dumptruck and backhoe turned upside down in the middle of the livingroom because the boys were making a dump pile...
You might hear a fly sprayer that needs to be replaced...I've been listening to it all morning. :)
Also you might find a tired mommy that needs to go hop in the shower!
But a happy tired mommy because baby Dusty is healthy and happy sitting next to me on a pile of laundry in need of another diaper change.

I had to include this picture so everyone could see that I chose orange jello at the hospital.

Thanks to G'ma Susie for the pictures!

My heart

has been stolen by these three.
On Wednesday morning my heart will be stolen once again when baby boy #3 is born.
Please come and see us if you are in the area. We would love it! It is always special to share the excitement of having a new baby.
