Hannah Banana at 2 1/2 months

 How precious you are even as you sleep! 

Oh how you love to watch the world around you!  

 You are full of smiles and you even laugh at the fan :D

 It's fun to dress you in cute girly clothes!

Bath time has become your friend, it's good to be clean. :D

Sweet, sweet girl... how we love and adore you!! You have changed our world, and we are thankful!  Your brothers continue to lavish you with hugs and kisses and Caleb says you are the best sister in the whole world.  You are sleeping well... 10-12 hours at night with 1 feed in the middle and 2-3 good  naps during the day.  You are eating every 2 hours and still are in the 15% for your age.  10.4 lbs and 21.25 inches long, just perfect!  We call you Hannah Bannana, Hannah Grace, Chuberkins, Pretty, and Hannah Baby.  God we praise you and thank you for this wonderful daughter and sister, thank you for your plan and having her join our family.  Oh how good your gifts!    

A wonderful weekend!

We spent the weekend with our wonderful friends the Zimmermans at their cabin in Pine this weekend.  This picture is at the biggest natural bridge in the US.  It was beautiful!   

 Sweet Caleb, climbing inbetween the rocks. 

 Caeden loved it so much he didn't want to leave... freedom, natural beauty and the sound of waterfalls... I didn't want to leave either!  

 Lots of climbing and running through the brush.  The kids had such a blast! 

How cute are these kids?  Caeden 6, Caleb 3, Ava 6, Eli 3, Mia 23 months. We ate well, played hard, slept great and even got some good ol' adult chats after all the kiddos were asleep.  Yay for summer time and the blessing of good friends!   

A few of our fun moments this week

 Caeden has completed his first round of coach pitch/tee-ball :)  Here he is with his first trophy and two of his sweet friends that came to watch his last game. Yay, Caeden... good season buddy!

 The boys each got their own take n' bake pizza's from Papa Murphy's to create, bake and eat.  Caeden said, "this is the best day EVER!"  Who knew it took a little creativity and pizza?  I'm ready to have a lot more "best day ever's" around here. :)

 Saturday morning cuddles!  It's the best when I lay Hannah down next to the boys and they just start loving on her.  Kisses, hugs, holding hands, comments like... You're so cute, you're a little chub chub, we love you Hannah... how sweet it is to be their mom!

 Caleb still loves to give a bottle!  :)

Here we are... a family of 5. :)

Mother's Day with Caeden

It was so cute, last night as I was trying to decide what I would wear today to my mom's day in bud's class Caeden said, "mom you could wear a skirt or a dress." :)  Then when I was brushing my hair he said, "you could wear your hair down and to the side like that because that looks beautiful." :)  My sweet 6 year old boy cares and I love it!  We had a wonderful morning together!

The kids came outside and greeted us dressed as waiters and waitresses.  They had mom menus and served us at cutely decorated tables.  Once we had our food and drink they played a video of pictures throughout the year of us and our kiddos to You are so beautiful by Joe Cocker. :)  If you look behind the kids in the picture there are silhouettes hanging and we each took a turn guessing which one was our kiddo.    I'm a blond on the right bottom... 2nd up. ;)

Then each one of them presented us with a golden mom award. Mine was for best carrot soup maker. lol! 

And the finale... a song.  It was a very precious morning with a whole lot of love!  Thank you Caeden and Mrs. Poulson for making me feel so specia!
