Compare...

These are both my babies at about 5 1/2 months...


I wanted to see the similarities they had and how they differed. Preston is mostly his daddy and a lot of people tell me Lylah looks a lot like me. I wish I had a baby picture of me at 6 months...I may have to bug my mom for one :). Anyways the one thing I noticed looking back at pictures of Preston is that I could barely get him to smile for pictures. And Lylah is so good at smiling. And Lylah has her daddys dimples. Preston has more hair then Lylah does though haha...hers is growing :) slowly but surely. I think they definitely look like siblings though! What do you think?

Baby Cousins...


We got to see Mr. Radley again last night :) I love that both our families are having kids with us now, it makes it so fun! It will be so fun to watch these two grow up and play with each other!

Denim Jumpers and Sandals...

Yesterday was a long day. I watched a little girl from my ward, she's a sweetie but shes 2. I had two two year olds and a 5 month old baby. It was busy over here but it was fun too. Preston was so excited to have a friend over and except for the occasional fighting over toys they played pretty well together. Good thing cause she'll be coming over every thursday for a little while. They pretty much wanted to play in the backyard all day long. And they wanted pushed on the swings 90% of the time. Sometimes I regret putting swings in the backyard haha. Here are a few shots of them playing...




We also met our neighbors at a park later that afternoon. Preston had a fun filled day and had a friend to play with constantly. He was a happy boy. 

Oh and its warm here. Like denim jumper and sweet sandals warm :)


Don't these pictures just make you want to squeeze her and never let go!?



I don't think I've ever loved a double chin as much as this one...


I LOVE that its warm enough for Lylah to wear these kinds of clothes. I love seeing all her rolls. It's too cute and makes me want to squeeze her all day long!

Backyard Fun...

Preston wasn't the only one outside yesterday. It was warm and Lylah was loving laying out on her blanket watching her brother jump around. 







I love that I get to spend my days playing with these two munchkins. I wouldn't want it any other way!

Just too Cool...

Preston is very active. Preston LOVES to jump off anything. And Preston is just plain cool. 
Look at these moves...




And don't you love his choice of clothing? A swim shirt and underwear on backwards. Most of the time his underwear are inside out AND backwards. You only wish you were THAT cool. 


Preston you really are too cool for your momma! LOVE YOU!

Oh and have you ever wondered what my 2 year old boy would take a picture of if he got a hold of my camera? Well here's the answer...


He likes trees :)

My brother and sister in law had their baby boy this morning! They named him Radley Daniel and he was 8 lbs 3 oz and he is just perfection! 


Here is my baby with theirs...8lbs verses 16lbs. Thats what happens when they double in size! I can't believe how big my baby is already!!!


Heres a close up of sweet Radley...


The proud parents! Doesn't Alyssa look amazing!? She's always so cute!


And Lylah had to be apart of that picture too...she loves them and her new cousin!


Were going back tonight so that Spencer and Preston can go see him too so I'm sure I'll have more pictures soon! Yay for babies! We love little Radley SO much already!

5 Months...


This baby of mine just turned 5 months old yesterday. Oh my goodness, seriously!? I swear time is going by faster everyday. I can not believe how big this girl is getting.

  • She weighs 16 lbs...funny thing is her cousin Kamden just turned 1 a few days ago and he weighs 19 lbs, they are only 3 lbs apart! haha 
  • Her and Kamden wear the same size diapers! They are in size 3 :)
  • She wears size 6-9 months in clothes
  • She is the smileyest girl you ever saw
  • I love her "coo"ing, she has the cutest little voice
  • LOVES to be held
  • wants ALL the attention
  • Almost can sit up by herself
  • Hasn't rolled over in months...I think she just weighs to much to do it again haha
  • Preston started calling her pretty lylah
  • Preston gave Lylah a car the other day...Spenc brought home a box full of matchbox cars the other day and there was a pink and purple car in there. He gave it to Lylah and they play cars together haha
  • She still has tiny feet and huge thighs haha
  • Her tooth is still trying to pop through, poor girl! 
We love this girl to pieces and I don't know what we ever did without her!!! I can't believe she will be 6 months next month. Craziness!

My nephew turns 1!...

I only have 1 nephew. And boy do I love him so! He's such a fun, sweet, loud, rambunctious little boy and I just love that I live close enough to my sister that we see them often! Preston and Lylah love him so much and I just know that he loves them too! How thankful we are for a cousin! Cause as of today he is my kids only one! ( But we will soon have another on the Coon side, YAY! ) 
Well on Saturday, Kamden turned 1! And my sister had a super fun birthday party for him at the park!











So thankful you were born Kamden boy! We love love love you!!!!

Neighbors...

What are we going to do when we can't be neighbors with the Cluffs!? I seriously dread the day...we spend so much time with them and I love it, Preston loves it, and I know Lylah loves it haha!


Ya we nurse our babies in our front yards...its cool ;). 


Poor Lylah is still teething and can't keep her fingers out of her mouth. Shes a trooper though and stays pretty happy. Don't be fooled...we still have moments and she still screams bloody murder when she needs something but for the most part she is just awesome. Love her.

Distinguished Young Women...

Tiffany was in the Distinguished Young Women ( formally known as Junior Miss ) pageant on Saturday night. It was SO fun to see her perform. She is seriously so funny and so herself. I love how she isn't scared to do funny things in front of people and she just has so much fun doing it. She looked SO cute and was so happy just being there. We were SO proud of her! I loved how much family we had there to support her...it melted my heart while I was sitting next to my hubby and having him be proud and excited for his sister. That is what family is all about. And I'm so thankful to be apart of it. Here are some pictures we took while we were there...










Love you Tiff!!!
