a lot to say...

When you are the youngest of 3 and only 12lbs it is hard to get your own time!! Colbie always has a lot to say and loves talking to someone, anyone who will listen. But if you notice by the video the world around her is not made for a small person with a small voice. Camden and Cawa's are running around crazily playing while i am trying to get my sweet littlest one talking in the camera. I hope it's not to hard to hear. Today is Colbie Cheeses 3 month birthday and we love her more then ever!! She is such a sweetheart!!

Dance Party

Every once in a blue moon(okay like 2 times a week) instead of being good parents and putting our kids to bed at a decent hour(10 is our decent hour) we decide to have a rocking DANCE PARTY!! We blast the music and dance around the house!! It's quite fun, the kids love it and don't stop giggling the whole time!!

This little man has some killer dance moves!!

This is our very own "dancing queen"!!

a new love...

Camden has fallen in love with Ballet! Don't ask me where she gets it cause if you know me you know that dancing is not a talent of mine at all!! So we put Camden in a little Ballet class here at the college and man was she was excited to have her first day today. She wore her whole tutu get up for the past 2 days.

Striking her Ballet pose!!
She got home and reported on all the new dance steps that she had learned.

She is one cute ballerina!!

Do we have a boy Ballerina on our hands?????

I highly doubt that, i think Brook would KILL me. Plus Cawa's was out the door the next second scoping out the motorcycles going up the road.

Camden HAD to have her hair done in a "messy bun" cause thats how her Barbie Ballerina's hair is done. And then i HAD to take a picture of it. She can be bossy for a 4 year old!!

And update on my little angel face!! She is back to her happy-smiling-kicking self and we can't get enough of our little Cheeser!!

Sad:(

My sweet little girl had her 2 month check up this week(a little late, i know)!

She is a healthy, happy, growing baby!!

She weighed 11lbs 12oz. 50%. and she is the 85% for her height!

The sad part of course was the shots!! My other kids did okay with shots--sad for a min til mom holds them and then they were fine for the rest of the day/week!! Not Colbie Cheese!! She was so mad for pretty much the rest of the day until she finally passed out of the couch!! But even the next day she has kindof been a bear. I think her legs are just sore. She isn't kicking them happily like she normally does, poor little lady, i feel so bad for her!! Hopefully she will be her happy, cooing, kicking, content, self soon!!

Bear Lake Day

That is one happy little boy who loves Bear Lake!

Beach+ beautiful blue water+ sun+ good food+ golf+ good friends = one fun day!!

Playing Kubb!!

Getting warmed up!!

Some of the crew!! It wasn't the warmest day but it was still tons of fun. Bear Lake is only 2 hours away from home so we made a day trip!! This is for sure a new tradition!!

A little chill in the air would never stop these two!! They love, love, love the water!!

Silly girl!!

There wasn't many people on the beach so we got our fair share of seagulls. Ruthie fell asleep so we put some french fries on her back for the seagulls to get. Instead of just flying by and grabbing the french fry the seagull totally jumped on her back!! I think Ruthie let out the most terrified scream no shriek that was EVER heard!! I was SOOOO funny!!

Then Brook tried it and this seagull just jumped right up on him. It was very entertaining!!

This little monkey was not a fan of the slight breeze if you can't tell by her face but she was a trooper!! Cuddled in her blankets all day--doesn't get much better than that!!

First Day of Preschool

Camden had her first day of pre-school last wednesday and she was sooooo excited to go...until we got there and she had a meltdown. She loves school and her teacher Miss MerLee so i am not sure why the freak out but i just left her in the amazing hands of her teacher and she came home happy as a clam!!
This was after school, when she remembered how much she loves school.

Bring it on!!

This is Cawa's version of thumbs up. He is concentrating so hard but it just doesn't look right!!

I couldn't resist putting this picture in. It just makes me smile!!

cAbiN TimE

AHH, relaxing in the mountains sounded like just the ticket this Labor Day weekend. We headed up with my parents to my family cabin and it was such a fun weekend!! Puzzles, walks, games, cousins, hikes, playground fun, movies, good food, laughing, and chill time!! Does it get any better than that!! Thanks mom and dad for the good times!!
Colbie Cheese enjoyed the clean mountain air and the warm sunshine, i have a feeling there isn't much sunshine left :( sadness!! So we soaked it all in!!

Taking a break and watchin a movie!!

Blurry Alert!!

I had my camera in the wrong setting but Grandpa and Cawa's had way too much fun swinging!!

Playing in the cool(more like freezing) mountain stream!!

The bubble tub!! A cabin tradition that is always a fan favorite!!

Husking corn for sunday dinner!! I so remember doing this exact thing in this exact spot with my grandpa!!

We made the hike up to Stewart Falls!! It is such a fun little hike, easy for kids and way cool when you get to the waterfall!! I think Cawa's enjoyed the hike the most, along with Colbie. I don't think they had to take one step the whole way... can we say SPOILED!!!

On the way back from the waterfall Camden and Grandpa Stuart (Who also came down for the fun times) fell behind everyone. So Brook hid and when they walked past he growled like a bear and jumped out at Camden. Oh my heck, it was the funniest thing!! She freaked out!! Her face in this pic(blow it up if you can) but her face is shear terror!! Way too funny how we touture our kids and then laugh at them. She thought it was funny too so no harm done!!

what makes my heart happy...

...when my children love each other and get along--that makes my heart happy!

...when i wake up to this sweet little smiling face--that makes my heart happy!!

...when i realize i have become "that mom who lets the kids out of the house looking like orphans" and i really don't care--that makes my heart happy!!

... those chunky cheeks--makes my heart happy!!

...when i see my 3 heathly, happy, adorable kids-that makes my heart happy!!

...need i say more--every mom out there knows exactly what i am talking about!!
