Ivy's 6 months pictures

I had Ali take Ivy's pictures when we were in Plain City.  It was super low-key...I didn't buy her any new outfits and we just used my mom and dad's beautiful backyard as the backdrop.  I think they turned out just as good as they would have had I taken her to a professional.

Round one...out in the front yard in front of the flower beds with this cute yellow outfit she got for Easter.
Round two...in back, in front of the zinnias.  I put her in a cute onesie from Aunt Ali and a jean skirt that I got when Molly was born.
Round three...on the rocking chair, dressed in the dress Molly wore her first Easter.  It's one of my all-time favorite dresses ever.
  
Round 3.5...same outfit,  we just moved over in front of the fruit trees to have an orchard look.
 
She is a cute subject!  And my parent's yard is amazing.  I am so glad I have had all these pictures of the kids taken.  I love to go back and look at them.

**I have to give credit for the adorable quilt made by my SF neighbor, Michelle Weiss.  She is so talented with a sewing machine and made this quilt for Ivy when she was born (Brynn has one equally as cute).  It added just the right touch for the pictures.

**Ivy update, 11/3
-She has been full-on crawling for a couple of weeks and is now exploring other areas of the house.  I find her in the kitchen more often and also in the bedrooms and the bathroom.  She no longer just stays in the front room.
-I still feed her a lot a baby food, just because it's easy and convenient and I know how much she's getting.  That being said, she does eat a lot of table foods and likes to feed herself.  Those cute little pudgy hands are quite efficient at feeding herself. She doesn't seem to be picky at all.
-Had two bottom teeth pop through last week and I think I'm seeing a top one working it's way down that should pop through soon.  She is an excellent teether and has continued to sleep well and not fuss.
-She is for sure my slowest at getting her nap routine down.  Every third day or so she will take two good naps.  In between she will still nap for 30 minutes or so.  I'm not worried because one thing I've learned is that it will come.  She also goes longer between naps...about two hours after she wakes up in the morning and then about three hours between morning and afternoon, regardless of how long she actually naps.

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...
