Lainie is 7 months old & Logan is 3 years old

Okay, so I took Lainie in for her 6 month checkup when she was 7 months old. I'm usually on top of things like this, but it took awhile to find a doctor after the move. Anyway, all this time I'm thinking that she is so cute and chubby. She weighed in at 13 lbs. 11 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches long and I thought that was great until the doctor comes in and tells me she is only in the 3rd percentile for weight. So, I feel like I'm the crappiest mom alive. She eats all the time. So the doc tells me to feed her more cereal with her fruit and veggie baby food and more formula and to come back in a month for a weight check. So now, we are just shoveling in the food and keeping our fingers crossed that she gains weight. She is just so petite that I thought this is normal for girls. Other than being a light weight, she's doing great. She can sit up all by herself and rolls and scoots everywhere. So, developmentally she is GREAT! Just little. Wish I could say the same for me. :) Oh, she got her very first tooth this past week.

Anyway...

So the same day I took Logan in for his 3 year checkup. Total opposite end of the spectrum. He weighed in at 36lbs. (95th percentile). He's doing good!!! No worries about getting him to eat. He is not fat by any means, just real stocky and sturdy. The kid is going to make a great football player!!! He loves anything dealing with a ball or sports.

Our sweet Logan! I LOVE this kid, he is such a fun little boy!!!

FALL is almost here!

I Love this time of the year!!!

I Love the cooler weather! I'm glad that it is cooling off here, just wish it could be cooler like Albuquerque or Flagstaff. We miss you all and your wonderful weather!

I Love the beginning of all the holidays... Halloween (my kids favorite), Thankgiving, then Christmas (my favorite) which will be here before we know it.

Okay, so I've never been to this place in Vermont, but someday I want to go back East in the Fall just to experience and see how beautiful it is!


So, I hope that everyone has a Happy Fall!!!

My AWESOME Brother!!!

My incredibly awesome and cool brother, Mark, came by the other night for a visit. It was so much FUN to see him and get to hang out and talk. He is so funny and can always make us laugh! Of course, our boys were climbing all over the couch and him. He is so great with our kids that they were pretty upset with me that they had to go to bed (school night) and not get to "play more with Uncle Mark." Logan keeps asking when his "Happy Uncle Mark" is coming over again. It's really cute!!! I did get a pic with Lainie and Mark that is so cute so I wanted to share it.

Lainie with her Uncle Mark.

Mark, THANKS for coming over! It was so GREAT to see you!!!

Our Fashion Diva

Mom Bryce spoiled Lainie rotten with some new and very cute outfits!!! Thanks Mom!!! She sure looks like the little diva!! Here are a few pics of her wearing some of her new clothes!!!


Cute green shirt with butterflies and camo tights!

Pink striped pants with shirt that says:

This girl is going to have abs of steel!

Thanks again Mom for the clothes!!!

Labor Day Fun!!!

We got to go to Thatcher for Labor Day to visit Ragan's family. We had so much FUN seeing everyone! The boys loved getting to play with all their cousins while Ragan had fun shooting with the guys. Mom Bryce and I had fun shopping for decorations for our houses!

While we were there, we also celebrated Logan's 3rd Birthday!!! Of course I forgot my camera, so I don't have pics of him blowing out the candles and opening presents, but he sure had a fun time! I can't believe that he is 3 and such a big boy in so many ways. He sure is a sweetie!!!

Here are some pics of our house and some of the cute stuff that Mom Bryce helped me pick out!!!

Bring on FALL!
This is in our entry way

This is a shot from the living room toward the entry and stairs.

Mom Bryce helped me find the cute iron decoration and made great suggestions of the best way to arrange our living room!!!

My Mom sent us these super cute Halloween decorations.

I'm so ready for the holidays/seasons!

I love this time of year!

Thanks to both Moms for helping me make our house festive and prettier!!!
