Our Week

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this week. Apparently I was a little camera happy :)

 

LOVE this picture. Deagan loves this car. He has put many many miles on them tires. As you can see... I was sitting outside with the baby and had to take a pic.



Duramax Diesel just like his Daddy.

Uncle Dane came down for a visit and we went out to shoot the boys Halloween pumpkins. They had so much fun.

Love this goof ball.

Here is what was left of their pumpkins when they were done.

 

Tress was scared of the gunshots so we stayed in the truck.

Wearing her witch socks. (thanks aunt riley) She loves them :)

Tricks and Treats

Tuesday night we had one of our favorite families over for dinner. I made Pioneer Womans Fettuccine, and it was superb! So yummy. Everyone loved it, even the kids. And a recipe that is approved by kids (especially mine) is a winner in my book. Every recipe of hers I have ever made has been so good though. Love her. After dinner we had a little Halloween story and decorated pumpkins. It was so much fun.
 

 

 

Wednesday was HALLOWEEN! So we got the kids all dressed up and headed out to gather our candy. The boys looked so good... thank you Pinterest :) And Treslee looked adorable. She loved her costume and probably would have wore it it to bed if I let her.

Thursday was a miserable day. I was sick with a fever of 103 and pretty much didn't get off the couch all day. It was terrible. I don't know how we made it until Dev got home from work, but we did. Thank goodness for the purple balloon Treyden found in our yard that morning. It kept him and Treslee entertained all day.

 

 

Friday and Saturday I had plans to go to Time Out for Women with my friend Molli so I was so happy when I woke up feeling much better. What an amazing experience. It was so neat to be in a room full of women who are facing the same challenges I face everyday as a mother, a wife, and as a woman. It was so refreshing to be reminded tha everyone has bad days, and we are not all perfect. And that what we are doing is ok, that it is enough. Every talk was so powerful and touched my heart in so many ways. The spirit was so strong in that room. I am so grateful to my father in heaven for all he has blessed me with in my life. I am grateful for every challenge and failure because of what it has taught me. I know that I am his daughter and that he loves me and each and every one of us. And he knows us so much better than we know ourselves. I learned so much at Time Out for Women. I am so grateful I was able to go. I didn't realize how much I needed to be there. So, BIG THANKS to the hubby for holding down the fort and watching the kiddos so I could. It was such a fun weekend. I laughed a lot and cried even more. A lot more. But isn't that was we women do?!

P.S.

While I was gone Treslee decided to take her first steps :( I cried over that too.



3 months old

Miss Treslee is already 3 months old and I can hardly believe it. These past 3 months have gone by so quickly. It is definitely bittersweet seeing her grow and change. Knowing that she will most likely be our last little one I have been trying so hard to enjoy every little sweet moment. She is such a good baby and it has been such a joy having her in our family. She fits in perfectly and it is hard to imagine what it was ever like without her here.

 She is so happy and smiley. She loves to snuggle in her soft blankets and sucks her thumb every now and then... She loves bathtime. And she loves her brothers, she gives them big smiles whenever they talk to her. But, she definitely gives her Daddy the biggest smiles. We love you Treslee Grace. Happy 3 months baby girl!

Family Time

I have really been slacking on my posting but I have quickly come to realize that life with 3 kids is BUSY!  My house is always a mess, the laundry is never done, someone is always hungry or crying and there is always somewhere we need to be!  But, I wouldn't trade it!  I love these 3 more than anything.  They are so much fun and remind me daily what a special blessing it is to be a mother.  Treslee is growing so fast.  I can hardly believe she is already 12 weeks old.  She is so sweet and so fun to love on.  Her cheeks are constantly getting kissed by all of us.  She is so smiley and has been making all kinds of little squeaks and coos.  We have loved having this sweet little girly a part of our family. 

We have been taking advantage of the nice weather we've had by taking lots of family walks. Last week we went down by the creek. The boys loved it. They wanted to jump in the water so bad. It was a lot of fun. I love making fun memories like these together. I feel so blessed to have such a sweet family. I love them all so much.

Love those cheesy smiles

 Treslee had it made. Haha these pictures are so funny.

Love them all

And Then There Were 3

We got a very good Christmas present this year. Our sweet little Treslee Grace arrived at 1:56 on the morning of December 19, 2011. She was our biggest baby weighing 5 lbs. 13 oz. She was 18 in. long and perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The boys LOVE her. Deagan especially can't get enough of her and wants to hold her every chance he gets. 

 

 

 

 

We are so happy she is finally here and happy and healthy. It has been so fun to have a sweet girly in our home. We love and adore her to pieces. We are so blessed to have three healthy and beautiful children. Life is wonderful.
