A Wonderful Weekend

It was a wonderful weekend for our family. Kylie was baptized on Saturday. She was so excited and was counting down the days the whole month. She asked if people would clap after she was baptized. :) No one did, but I felt like clapping on the inside. I am so proud of Kylie, the decisions she is making, and the girl she is becoming.
Grandma Nelson played the prelude and opening song. Grandma Hansen game a cute talk on the "3 Bears of Baptism.

We blessed Baylor the next day on Sunday! He was a perfect little angel sleeping through the whole thing. It was wonderful to have family over both days for fabulous food and conversation. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful family (my own and extended family). I am also grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. It makes the good times even sweeter!

Stinkin' Cute

Stinkin' Cute...the two words we always use to describe our 3 month old Baylor. He is really starting to chub out a little but.
This was a month of firsts for him...his first haircut (just a little buzz to even it out), his first 4 wheeler trip...

And his "first girlfriends." Well, not really, but that's what the girls called their dolls when they put them next to him :)

He has started making eye contact and realizes that we are talking to him. He smiles and coos back.

He went a week and half sleeping the WHOLE night but alas I think he has hit a growth spurt and is waking up again for feedings.
I should take more pictures of him awake but he is just so darn cute when he sleeps!

GREAT 2 B 8

I can't believe my girl is eight years old...it's gonna be a big year!
I love that Kylie is beautiful inside and out. She is very compassionate and empathetic. She is my best helper at home. She is great at writing stories too!

School Days

I must say I was sad to see summer end, but if it has to at least we got some new clothes to make us feel better.

Don't you love the poses?

Tessa is starting kindergarten this year. She goes in the morning and gets to ride the bus!

Kylie is going into 3rd grade. She is excited to begin at a new school.

Mallory is coming to preschool with mom...how lucky am I?

We had to get one with dad. This year my first day of preschool was the same day as the girls first day...insert STRESS here. Luckily Dad played Mr. Mom getting everywhere they needed to be and attending kindergarten orientation :)

Finally 5

My happy, energetic, and sassy girl turned 5! I love that Tessa will try anything and is pretty tough. She is VERY funny and is always asking great questions!
