What the boys have been up to...

MILES

Miles was so excited to make bread for a class project.  He was very diligent about making sure he measured the ingredients correctly....(mom does it wrong by guessing)



 He also got invited by a friend to go up to SLC and have a clinic with 2 of the Utah Jazz players...he was so thrilled to go...he got autographs and everything....
he doesn't look thrilled in this pic, but maybe he was just nervous!  He had a great time!
AND YEAH...and he is playing basketball right now...and baseball practices have started....busy busy boy!


QUINCY

We made Quincy a chart for getting ready to get baptized this year.  He is trying to finish reading the Book of Mormon (with help) and so this green shield has chapters written around the border that he can color in when we finish each chapter.  Also, the pictures are Articles of Faith cards.  When he memorizes one, we take off the pic card and it says "1 is done" and so forth.
So excited for him to be baptized! Can't believe he is that old! 

he's been loosing teeth too...

#4

They celebrated 100 days of school!  I got on the school website to check something that day, and who's picture is there? My toothless boy!


PORTER

Porter continues to love superheroes...and has his best buddy over to play as much as possible!!

he found some garage sale stickers and started trying to sell his "work".  I love this one.  $20!

We've had soooo much snow.  Porter is my shovel helper.  Hot cocoa after was a must!  shhhh don't tell brothers...Porter got cream and marshmallows!

Although the writing on the counter was not appreciated, Porter's "e" looks amazing.  We have been working really hard on that baby.  His writing is getting so much better.  He loves preschool.

LOVE MY BOYS! THEY ARE CrAzY!
AND SO MUCH FUN!

Who is Ella?

*BLOG POST ESPECIALLY FOR MY GRANDPARENTS WHO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK!!!  HAPPY DAY TO Grandma Hansen, and Gpa and Gma Matthews!!  
COME SEE ME!*



Who is Ella?  I LOVE spending each and every day with this girl.  She is so much fun and I can't believe she is 9 months already...
here is a day in my life with Ella...

My view from the van...
man are you filling up your car seat Miss.

This is SO you Ella.  You won't keep socks on and you LOVE to play with the markers...

What mom? You aren't within reach?  That makes me SUPER mad!!!

Oh yeah, that's better!!

You LOVE to bounce....and clean?  haha the broom was standing in the corner and you grabbed it on your own...you felt sooo big!


a little weird: but you love to smother yourself.  You like to put towels/blankets/etc...over your face.  You flap your arms and breathe deep.

 No crawling yet, but you can scoot on your bum...turn circles...etc...


I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF YOU...my sweet baby E.  I love you Miss.  

upcoming blog posts: what's been going on with my brothers!!  Stay tuned Grandpa and Grandma!

Ella is 8 months old

We love our baby girl Ella!  Ella is so much fun.  She is growing up so fast...she isn't crawling yet, but loves to "dance" to music.  She has no teeth either, but that doesn't stop her from eating everything we will give her....mac and cheese, pears, peaches, crackers, etc...
Ella's hair is growing in and she is a very happy baby.  The only things we really notice her not liking are the vacuum, cameras, and when mom leaves the room...yeah, that stage.  She loves her brothers and she can bounce really high in her bouncer chair!  

She LOVES tubby time



Her new favorite bath toy...Calamari anyone?

View of my cutie in bed

Love her in red

Making messes....wahoo!

Porter loves to play with Ella.  Here are my 2 kiddos from Brooklyn.
Love Ella's Captain America shirt!  Thanks Auntie Brenda!

Happy Eater!


I accidently cut her finger with nail clippers....she ate a few bandaids that day!

and YES she loves ice cream!

 and eating her cute shoes.....Ella, adorable shoes are made to be WORN!!

We love our sweet Ella.  Stop growing so fast.  Mommy can't stand it, but loves it all the same.
