Our Little Mother

Adalayde loves her babies very much and has to have them with her all the time.

She has figured out how to buckle them into the car seat.

I thought it was very funny but Justin was not as impressed with it after Adalayde cried for her babies and I got a panicked phone call that we had lost them. I have no idea why he did not think of checking in the infant car seat in storage!

She had another minor melt down when she was unable to carry all four of her babies with out dropping them. So we pulled out the sling that I carried both she and Anderson in and tied it in a knot on her shoulder so she was able to carry all four!

Yes, she is a baby lover and we could not be more relieved because come this December miss Adalayde is going to have a little baby SISTER! Yes folks it is true we are having baby number Three and we could not be more excited.

Yes, our hands will be full but, more importantly so will our hearts!

Adalayde rides her bike

Adlayde loves her bike! She is pretty good at it and she wants to take it everywhere we go. Today she even wanted to sleep with it during her nap. No, I did not let her take her dirty bike to bed with her but she was not very ahppy about it

Aunt Amelia can even ride Adalayde's bike!

Church

Adalayde does not always get to go to church because it starts right when she takes her nap. We have chosen to keep her home for the benefit of all that we go to church with because, she has been known to make church the opposite of Heaven! We love her so much but a nap is not an option for our sweet girl. So, on the rare occasion that she gets to go to church I love to take pictures of the two of them.

Anderson on the other hand loves church! He is so good during Sacrament meeting and he loves to go to nursery! Church is also during his nap time but he makes it through nursery because he loves it so much. He has been know to fall asleep in the car on the way home from church and yes the church is just one street over!

Swimming

Adalayde is one good little back floater, she can float for so long. Last week the teacher was having her float for so long that she started to yell at her. She was yelling so load saying I'm all done Richelle I already did abc song. She is a very funny girl with a lot of personality. Sometimes it is not as cute as other times but we will still keep her.

Anderson is very proud of his new trick!

These two LOVE swimming lessons, they love their teacher and they love the water. I have been asked several times this winter when we have gone swimming why the kids wear swim caps? They wear them because the keep their goggles on and that way I do not have to fix them a zillion times!

Anderson is THREE

Aunt Hilary made Anderson this cute sign. He loved it so much!

The amazing bowling cake that Aunt Liesl did for him! He is very lucky to have an aunt who loves him enough to spend hours making a very special cake for him.

Anderson at his Friend party. He invited 18 kids and would have invited even more if I would have let him.

With his big boy cousins that he loves!

Not only did Liesl make a bowling cake she also made a golf cake for the family party. She is one awesome aunt.

My Sweet boy!

No need for a fork.

Check out his outfit. He picked it out all alone.

Anderson loving his Aunt Tenley and Uncle Aidan.
