a little more from March

I found the cord that connects my phone to the computer (unpacking is so not fun), so here are a few more pictures from the month of March.

I could watch this baby sleep all day.  I love spying on her from the video monitor.
See what I mean about watching her sleep?
March 4th-starting to outgrow her newborn clothes.  Time to pack them away!  Actually, time to get rid of them.
I often peek in on Molly after light's out to find her quickly hiding a book under her covers so I don't catch her reading in the dark.  It makes me giggle every time.  I caught her red-handed this particular night, but only because she fell asleep with her book on her lap.
Get a good look at Ivy's crazy hair.
A different view.
The easiest trip to the grocery store ever.  Brynn fell asleep in the car on the {short} drive to Macey's and then slept in the cart the whole time we were there.
Ivy slept in her carseat too. 
March started warming up and Ivy was getting bigger so we went outside more.  Ivy's first couple strolls in the stroller needed to be documented.
I took Brynn on her Valentine's date to the park and for ice cream.  We had a great time.
Thumbs up for ice cream!
There is an old bucket of blocks at Gene and April's house that Justin long-ago labeled "the blokes" and we have all had a good laugh about.  Now I see my kids doing the same sorts of things and it makes me smile.  Molly labeled this bin for us.
I've said before that Brynn gets tired often in the afternoon and will take a nap.  One day she fell asleep standing on a chair and laying across the counter.  I was feeding Ivy and sent Molly to get her down before she fell.  Sure enough, she fell off just seconds before Molly got to her.  A rude awakening, you can say!  She was okay.
Jeff and Ali went to Africa a couple of years ago to visit his parents who were there on a mission.  They brought back this dress for Brynn and I'm excited that it finally fits her.  It is adorable!

Ivy update, 5/17/2015:
-We are starting to establish a bit of a routine with this baby, although times vary each day.  She wakes up, eats, and takes a nap about an hour later.  She'll eat again about 30 minutes after her nap and then go down again in an hour and a half.  Eat about 30 minutes after waking up, then another nap about 2 hours later.  Eat again 30 minutes later and then depending on what time it is she'll have another quick nap in the evening or she'll stay up until I nurse her one last time and put her to bed.  Things go pretty smooth and are predictable as long as we stay home.  Throw in church, or something else, and the routine goes out the window!
-Naps are usually less than an hour long, but occasionally she'll throw in a really long nap and that is great!
-At night she sleeps around the clock, give or take an hour, with one feeding at around 5 in the morning.
-She started rolling from belly to back last week (May 9th).
-Likes to blow bubbles, another new trick she just discovered this week.
-Still loves to smile, babble, and sometimes we get a giggle out of her-usually when she's tired.

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads.   This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
