First day of school

As Warner woke up today he knew what day it was....the first day of school. He has been anticipating this day for awhile now. He picked out his outfit that he was going to wear the night before. As I dropped him off to day care he said "mom, it's a beautiful day"!! That it is. He has just started a new chapter in his life, school.I picked him up from day care to take him to school We had to sit for a few poses before we left!
Two of Warner's friends Lexi and Kaydence. Waiting for pictures to be over so they can get to school!

Of course we need to show off the back packs. Warner was so excited to find this yo gabba gabba back pack.

Walking into school.

First things first....lets play with play dough

My friend Chelsey gave these to her little girl the first day of school and I knew Warner would love it, so I copied her. It was a hit! He loves his chocolate chips. I thought he'd want to make cookies, but he's been eating them one by one.

Labor day weekend

Over Labor day we went to Hyrum to visit our sister Lynzie and her family. We enjoyed their new house with such a beautiful view! Saturday we headed to Bear Lake. What an adventure! We stopped and ate yummy Pizza. Then off to the KOA camp ground we went. Here we are in the Suri bike we rented. Just a little story about this bike. We loaded all three kids in the front, Ryan and me and then Lynzie and Travis in the back. I don't know if you can tell but that is Sophie right in front of me in her car seat. As you can tell Ryan was in charge of steering us. Travis had a great idea to take the board walk and head down onto the beach. As we approach the hill to the board walk I tell Ryan to get on the breaks. He lets us know we will be coasting down the hill!!! Great idea! As we start going really fast he realizes the turn is sharper than he thought. He hits the brakes and they lock up. Travis jumps out to try and stop us. Lynzie and Ryan have their feet scraping the ground flinstone style. I'm just holding onto Sophie looking at the rock wall in front of us! Luckily we were able to stop. Thanks to Ryan for the memorable experience!

Lynzie and Travis on the beach in the bike. Pretty sure we are the only ones that have taken these bikes down to the beach. You should have seen the looks we were getting!! Abbi, Easton and Warner in the front of the bike!

At the KOA they had a jumping pillow. Not only did the kids love it, Lynzie loved it. Here she is showing off her mad jumping skills! She got some serious air.

Warner, Abbi and Easton loving the KOA jumping pillow and dirt play area!

Thanks to the Eborn's for a wonderful and eventful weekend!

What Sophie loves

Just a little glimpse of what Sophie has spent most of her 5 weeks doing. Ahhhh....sleep baby sleep

What keeps Abbi busy!

Here are a few ways Abbi has kept her busy little body busy, this last month while adjusting to a new baby! The bikes twice her size, but ride Abbi ride.
This girl is so busy...she goes from toy to toy, but she loves bouncing on her zebra.

She may not like to jump, but how about climbing up and down the ladder.

This little diva has a love for shoes. (she takes after her momma) When it's time to get dressed she grabs a pair of shoes out of her basket and sits right down.

Who doesn't love to hang gangsta style sporting a little Lightning McQueen.

A few things Warner loves!

With a new baby around we haven't left the house much this August. Here's how Warner has occupied his time! He loves bouncing his little sister around and doing tricks!
He may hate me in the future, but he loves this hand-me-down Barbie Jeep. I've created a monster.....the other day he was heading to Holly's to get a Coke! (He's learned he has to stay in the yard)!

Who doesn't love running around in Superman Jammie's? He runs so fast the his cape flies!

He finally gave us our TV back because he has figured out how to play games on noggin.com. Yay...no more sponge bob cartoons.

Warner loves anything to do with crafting. Here he is painting his tool box from the construction party. Great job buddy!

Home Depot Construction Party!

Yesterday I took the kids over the the fair. They were doing a Home Depot construction party. We all were in need of getting out of the house and thought this would be fun. Warner couldn't wait to go to his party! Just as we get there a HUGE wind and rain storm came in. It was blowing the shade tents and the tables all over the place. Warner was crying and Abbi was laughing. I was wondering how I was going to protect three kids if something flies at us! Luckily it came and passed, and the party went on. Everyone was in a hurry to get out of there so we put Warner's little project together. Here he is today showing off his tool box. He and Abbi have been wearing their aprons around the house this after noon. Proud little handy man!
Seriously so cute! She has loved putting things in and out of her apron pockets!

Sophie's arrival and many visitors

On July 18th I ran to get my hair done. After doing that I walked around Wal Mart and felt like there was no way I was going to make it another day pregnant. I still had till the 23rd when the Dr. would do my c-section. Needless to say there were a lot of tears being shed, because I was so done being pregnant! That night after I got home Ryan was out on the trampoline with the kids. I got on and decided to do a little jumping in hopes that the baby would come on her own, that way they would have to do my c-section early. No signs of a baby though. We did our nightly routine and went to bed. About 4 in the morning I woke to do my usual bathroom break! As luck would have it my water broke. I'm yelling from the bathroom to wake Ryan up. I think he was in a little shock when I was yelling my water broke. He just started pacing the floor back and forth wondering what to do. I'm telling him to just call his mom and have her come over. At this point I was wishing I had listened to Ryan the night before when he told my I should really pack a bag for the hospital. I went to the hospital with my purse, camera, and mismatching clothes on my back. That was it. We got to the hospital about 4:30 and Little Sophie was here by 6:30 AM. When we went into the operating room they had the sounds of Sunday playing and it made for an enjoyable Sunday!! We are so happy she is finally here safe and sound!Just the three of us after Sophies arrival.
Grandma brought the kids over to meet the new little sister. Abbi got a little emotional when she first saw her. She started crying like she knew her world had just changed. It broke my heart for a moment, until she started gooing over her sister.

Here are some of Sophie's visitors over the hospital stay and her first week. Grandpa Warner was in the hospital himself so we drove her to see him! From grandparents, great grandma's, aunts and uncles, and friends.....Sophie was loved!


You'll notice Warner isn't in any of these pictures....That's because Abbi is Sophie's personal guard. She even tries to share her Binky with her. Sophie has spent a lot of time in her little chair on the counter top or table. Poor thing is a little smothered by her big sister!!
