Gabe the trickster

Gabe has been into doing "tricks" lately. He loves to have you watch while he does something silly. He thinks he is being really cool and doing something really amazing, when all he does is stand on his hands with one hand in the air. He is our little showman.

Kate Smiles

Kate is such a happy baby. She is generous with her smiles and loves to giggle at her daddy's silly faces.

Getting ready for Kate's blessing.

Kate's special day

We blessed Kate at home because it was hard finding a Fast Sunday where all the family could make it to Sacrament meeting. I was nervous about it, because Jeff's family is large and so is mine. I didn't know how we were going to fit everyone in our tiny house. As it turns out, not many family members could come, so the house wasn't too crowded. I really enjoyed talking with everyone. It was so quaint and I loved the feeling in our home. When they blessed Kate, the kids, Molly and Gabe, made their way through the men's feet and laid on the floor, looking up at Kate being blessed. That definitely wouldn't have happened at church. I would love to do a baby blessing again, in my own home. It was so peaceful.

My Girls

Molly spends a lot of time on the floor, laying by Kate, giving her kisses, kisses, and more kisses. She is addicted to kissing Kate. She can't stop!! It would be cuter if she didn't make Kate cry the majority of time she kissed her.

A trip to the Hogle Zoo

This is a picture of Gabe watching the monkeys. He was so focused on them swinging from branch to branch that he didn't even notice me taking a picture.



Trying to find the tiger.



Molly and Gabe loved watching the penguins. They had so much fun watching them dive into the water and swim around. They are fascinated with the movie "Surf's up" and they thought that one of these penguins was Cody Maverick. It is funny how real they think some cartoons are and how they think that they co-exist with us.

Kate is getting BIG !!

Kate is getting so big! She weighed 10 lb. 7 oz. at her 2 month appointment. Her neck is getting so strong and she holds her head up really well. We love to see her smile. She is a very happy baby and the kids are loving all the interaction they are able to have with her. Gabe loves it when she "coo"s and always asks me to help her say "uh-uh".
