Bath Time

When Jesse was born he absolutely hated bathing. He would scream from the minute the first popper was unpopped until he was fully dressed again. Just 3 short months later and he is loving it!

Saturday morning with Dad

I went and got my hair cut on Saturday and Logan had to look after the children.

Spring arrives in Springs (ha ha I am so funny).

Kyle's Priesthood Ordination

Kyle became a Deacon on the 16th of August, 2009. It was a very proud moment for us.

Jesse's Blessing

As you can see, having all the folks over is hard work.

Awake:

Yawning:

Asleep:

Should have posted about this ages ago but time seems to run out very quickly with 4 children in the home!

Jesse received his name and blessing on Sunday 2nd August.

Today

I saw this on one of my favourite blogs "Chez Larson" and thought it would be fun to try.

Today...

Outside my window...A winter garden.

I am thinking...About the chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Mustn't forget them.
I am thankful for...A husband that helps me so much with the little ones.

From the kitchen...The cookies, but no supper yet. Better start that soon.

I am wearing...Denims, white long sleeved shirt and pink and white stripey sweatshirt and my Nikes.
I am creating...Finished some cushion covers yesterday. Guess that doesn't count.

I am going...To make supper and refold everything in the baby drawers.
I am reading...Captain Correlli's Mandolin

I am hoping...To get some sleep tonight :-)

I am hearing...The children are running around outside. They have just come to tell me that there are blossoms on the apricot tree.

Around the house...Started out tidy. Now it is a big mess.

One of my favourite things...The laptop my mom just gave me.
A few plans for the rest of the week...Baking, shopping for a baby shower, decluttering.
A picture to share...All I can say is that Blogger is driving me crazy. If anyone can tell me how to move a picture to where I want it, please TELL me!

Jesse - 5 weeks old

This little guy has really captured our hearts.

Even Orin has started giving him kisses and hugs. At first he wanted nothing to do with his new brother. He would tell me to put the baby on the floor. Needless to say, things are going much better on that front.

Scary things that shouldn't see the light of day

My old chemo wig being one of them :-)

Orin was petrified....

FHE Treat

Our treat for family home evening was a Lemon meringue pie. Aidan loves to help in the kitchen and this time he especially loved the "lick". (That's what we call the leftovers in the bowl)
