5 years old...

weston is 5!

you are the best helper in our house, whether i need help cooking or dad needs to go to home depot
you have the cutest voice and say the most hilarious things

i love having our little conversations that are filled of 100 questions about life
you are happiest just riding your bike all day long

i love that you are social and friendly and  love to have playdates

you have the best little group of buddies {seth-e, samuel, & maxwell}

i love that you love to wear your "sports outfits"...all about the comfort with you wes

you are such a good little athlete {lovin tennis, soccer, & t-ball} and

when you run fast you put your serious face on

you have the most amazing blue eyes and when you give me that little closed mouth grin, melts my heart!

Happy Birthday Weston {aka lil dub}! I love you so much.

xoxo mom

easter...

happy easter...
hope it was a good one for you!

 {anthony did attend the same easter egg hunt, but was too cool to go get eggs!}

snickers...

we have had a little visitor for the past week....

meet snickers the hamster.

she is the class pet for anthony's 1st grade class. 

my kids are obsessed and totally want a hamster of their own.

never going to happen!

98 degrees...

this is not an april fools joke...its is 98 degrees today and getting hotter!

we are alive... i promise...but with the growing belly and the craziness of three kids i have totally had to give up the blogging thing. i am going to really try to make it back but who knows!!

{first of many update to come is that last week weston lost his first tooth.

he is almost 5 but toooo little to have missing teeth!}

an early christmas present...

we found out what our baby due in june will be....

everyone is excited! 

we all wanted a girl....we love pink!

i wanted cecily to have a sister because i can not imagine my life without my amazing sis

{plus i wanted to have a sister to hand me down all of cecily's clothes and shoes!}

anthony and weston wanted another baby as cute as cecily &

they wanted our family to be even 3 boys and 3 girls

corb actually was excited either boy or girl-

he was conflicted between have a full foursome to go golfing or

another sweet princess to spoil...he is thrilled with the idea of another princess!

yay for pink and for babies. we can't wait till june

merry christmas.

season of christmas cards...

i just get giddy thinking about christmas cards. i look forward to it all year. from the planning of the pictures, to the design of the cards, and even the address labels...crazy for them and love all things christmas cards.

my mailman comes at 3pm. right i as i leave to pick up the elementary carpool and  i can't wait to check the mail. as i sit in the carpool lane i open the cards with a giant smile on my face and read, reread, smile and just enjoy looking at the cards. we put them up on cupboards in the kitchen and they stay up seriously until february!!! so keep me giddy, keep the cards coming...

we had our family pictures taken for our card by my friends sister in law, love her, thanks jill! she was so fabulous. she took us to this darling antique store in american fork called star mill. loved her, loved the location, loved the pics.

it's beginning to look alot like christmas...

the stockings are hung,

tree has all the trim, 

the christmas music playing,

& "alfie," our elf on the shelf, has returned from the north pole.

i think it's beginning to look like christmas...

 i love this time of year!!
