June's Little Things

 It's hard to believe that 1 month of Summer is already over:((

The month of June as been pretty low key.

Newborns have a way of making you slow down and enjoy that precious phase of their life.

 

Irrigation was turned in and we started using our share 2 times a week. It's a family event, and I'm not sure who has more fun the kids or the dog.

 

 

 

Having a newborn makes for some pretty sleepless nights.

I'm always excited when I can get the girls to take a short afternoon nap with me, even if I feel like a momma cat!!!

Admiring grandma Grace's beautiful poppies. 

 

We enjoyed celebrating the wonderful men in our life.

Khloe LOVES her grandpa's.

 

We feel pretty blessed to have such a wonderful

husband/dad. 

Sister's make the BEST friends.

I hope as these two get older that they will realize what a blessing they are to each other.



Summer nights are one of my favorite things.

We enjoy sitting out on the front porch watching Kyler and Khloe ride their bikes. 

 

Two nights a week you can find us at the ball park

either watching Kyler's game or attending practice.

Getting some one-on-one tutoring from a boy in our old ward. 

More practice!!!

He hit 200 balls at the batting cages this night. 

 

Bath time is one of her favorite times of the day,

getting out is a different story:((

 

Khloe isn't afraid of anything!!!

When she found a little toad in the yard she of course wanted to hold it. 

Feeding the ducks is always a fun summer activity. 

 

If you haven't noticed yet, this is pretty much were Olivia can be found. She is super fussy unless I'm holding her or wearing her around in this baby sling.

 Part of our summer routine is doing an hour of school work outside on the patio. It's usually a battle to get Kyler to do it, but once he gets started he actually enjoys it:)



Jason enjoying a couple of days at priest camp.

I'm not sure which was more painful, a crawdad pinching onto Jason's ear or me being home ALONE with 3 kids.

 

 

Wednesday Adventure Week #4

 Last week with temperatures nearing a 100 degrees it was a no brainer what to do for Adventure Day with Dad.

 

They hit up the North Shore Aquatic Center and had a great time!!!

 

 

 

Kyler talked Jason into letting him go off the high dive.

He is an okay swimmer so I can't believe he felt confident in going off  the high dive and having to swim himself over to the edge.

He looks so little compared to the rest of the kids that were in line.







Olivia's Newborn Pictures

 

I think this is FINALLY the last post about

Olivia's birth.

I had too many pictures that I wanted to document to put it into one post. I'm LOVING how her newborn pictures turned out!!!
Shelby Even's did such a great job and was so patient with my stubborn little girl.

(She spent 4 hours making sure we got the perfect photos.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meeting Baby Livie

 

Throughout my pregnancy I worried how Kyler and Khloe would adjust to having a newborn join our family.

 

 

When we found out it was a girl Kyler wasn't all that excited, especially if she ended up being half as bossy as Khloe and Khloe pretty much rules the house so I worried how she would handle sharing the spotlight.

 

Kyler and Khloe spent the night at my parent's house and the following morning Kyler was up bright and early (6:00 a.m.) wanting to visit his new baby sister in the hospital.

 

After a long day of waiting (wanted Olivia to be off of oxygen so that she could be in the room with us) the kids finally got to come and meet their new baby sister.

It pretty much went how I had expected.

Kyler was super excited and couldn't get enough of baby Olivia, and Khloe wanted NOTHING to do with her and only cared about her green sucker:))
