Blessing Day

On the 17th Braden and Kegan were blessed. Ryan did an amazing job! I was so overwhelmed by how much love I felt for my 3 boys! The last 9-ish months have not been a stroll in the park, but I would do it again 50 times for the opportunity to be Braden and Kegan's mom. It it crazy to think about when it was just me and Ryan. We could do whatever we wanted! But now our lives revolve around these two little boys, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We are both so happy and blessed. I am so grateful the Lord trusted me with these two perfect boys!
Thanks to all our family that came down. I know it was a long day of traveling for everyone, but we really appreciate it!
I also have to give a shout out to my awesome husband. He has been so great these past few months (including pregnancy). I couldn't do it without him. He hasn't missed a night time feeding, and is more than willing to help out the second he gets home. He changes almost all the diapers in the evening to make up for all the ones I change during the day. What a guy! I am still head over heals for him!
These pictures have nothing to do with the blessing, but they are just so dang cute!

Smiles

I can't believe my boys are 2 months old already! It has gone by so fast, but at the same time it feels like forever ago that I was pregnant. They are getting more and more fun each day. They are definitely becoming more active and busy! But the one thing that can always make a long day easier is a smile. Kegan has been smiling for quite a while. He is just a super happy baby! These last few weeks Braden has begun to figure out that my ridiculous babbling is directed at him. He now smiles all the time! There is nothing better than two big toothless smiles directed right at me!
I also now realize how impossible it is to get a picture with two babies smiling!

4th of July

For the 4th we decided to finally venture out on our first "trip" with two little babies. I felt like I was packing our whole house, but it was worth it. It had been a while since we had been able to go to Idaho and we sure missed it!
All ready to go!
We started out by going to Logan for my cousins wedding. We got a hotel and decided to stay the night. It was fun!
Then on to Soda Springs for a 4 generation picture with Ryan's mom and grandma
Once we were in Idaho Falls the rest of the time was spent....
Playing video games with uncle John
Meeting cousins
BBQ at the Eastmans
Just being cute
Bridal shower for my soon to be sister-in-law
Fourth of July parade
Enjoying time outside
Just being cute again
Trying to eat this darn hat
Celebrating uncle Jeff's birthday
And, of course, enjoying the best fireworks show I've ever seen!
I absolutely love the 4th of July! And there is no better place to spend it than Idaho Falls. We had a ton of fun spending time with our families. But as usual, it went way too fast. We can't wait to get up there again!
