Another month bites the dust...



This little guy thinks he is big enough to babysit.  He carries Naomi all around the house (and gets in trouble for it) and is constantly building her forts to sleep/play in.

 I finally had to put the cabosh on forts.  My house was a cluttered mess for the whole month because every where I looked he has pulled out all the blankets and pillows he could.  Cut, but annoying!!

 Are season passes have been so fun!  Not much snow this year, but it doesn't bother the boys.  They have been going up almost every Saturday.  I haven't gotten my use yet, but the pass included 3 days at Brian Head, so we are heading there next month.  I'll get some more use then, hopefully!!

 Mimi is 5 months!  I am loving every thing about this girl.  What is wrong with me?? I'm obsessed with babies.  I just think she has the cutest round head and chubby cheeks... I just can't get enough.


Meems is almost 6 months and she STILL can not swallow food.  We keep trying, but it is work to get that girl to eat anything other than mamas golden liquid!  We'll keep trying.  She is finally big enough to sit in the counter chair and the boys love to sit next to her.  She looks so big in that picture.  Ahh.. slow down.
One super great thing (said very sarcastically) about Mimi is that she spits up constantly!  In our house, we have a rule that if she spits up on you, it means she likes you.... because she has spit up on everyone.  Nate below got the best bomb yet!  I was holding her and he was reaching up and grabbing her legs, this is how she responded to his affection.  EWW!!   Nate must be REALLY loved!

Sam is 6... what?

This boy
Here is Sam's birthday video.... We do breakfast in bed and everyone says what they love about the person who is having a birthday.  Sam is a loved boy for sure!

He wanted french toast (grandma makes it the best "deep fried" so I saved him a piece from her 2 days before...EASY)
My mom has many talents, but one of them is being willing to help do anything and basically knowing how to do everything!  We made a pretty sweet Iron Man cake if I do say so myself.  The light up led eyes were my favorite part.

 
Sam with the Fam..

He had a pretty fun Party with all his friends.  Still likes to invite girls, but it probably will be the last year.  He kind of has a crush on the one 3rd from the right with dark hair (Nikelle). :)  So cute!

I didn't get good shots of the decor, but the red and yellow balloons from the ceiling were fun and I got a shot of that.
We did Presents....  best part for kids.
Then Cake and Ice cream....
Then to the church for Iron Man stomp (balloon pop)
And Iron Man meteor dodge ball
We ended with an iron man pinata with treats for all!!  what a fun party Sam.  Happy Birthday.
This boy, is too big for his britches... literally.  Everyday he grows a little.  We measure every year on birthdays and Sam is taller than Luke was at 7 years old.  Taylor has always pegged Sam to be our biggest kid and it's working out that way so far.  He loves sports, and he loves friends and he LOVES to be with his big brothers.  He ALWAYS wants to tag along with them whatever they are doing.  He skies without Edgy Wedgies this year and can get down the mountain as fast as the bigs.  Sam is super shy and sweet, he works hard to do what is right especially when mom is not around.  He's more of a pill when I'm watching him!  His favorite color is blue and his favorite food is ham and cheese sandwhiches.  We love you Sambo!
