Happy Birthday Adam!!!

Our boy turned 3 on Monday and we had a fun weekend birthday celebration!! On Saturday both sides of the family came over for a Thomas the Train birthday party. I did my best with the cake....it didn't turn out as I had hoped, but luckily 3 year olds don't really care.
He got lots of fun things, but a favorite is his new car!!

On Monday (his birthday) we took him up to Heber where they had Thomas the Train visiting the Heber Creeper. He LOVED it!!! We had a fun afternoon as a family and Eric and I loved watching him get so excited over the smallest things. We went for a ride on Thomas and he would have stayed on the train all day if we let him.

To finish off the birthday activities, today we visited the doctor for check-ups. Tessa had her 9 month and Adam his 3 year. For some reason Adam loves going to the doctor. It is not a place we visit very often, so I don't know why he thinks it is fun, but he has been looking forward to this just as much as riding Thomas! Both are healthy, healthy kids-thank goodness!! Adam weighs 31 lbs and is 36 inches and Tessa Boo is up to 18 lbs 4 oz and 29 inches. We are looking forward to things slowing down for a few days, but it has been fun to see Adam's eyes light up all weekend. We feel so blessed to have him as part of our family and our firstborn-he is going to do amazing things someday!!

Spring Projects

So the project bug bit me a couple of weeks ago and I have been busy ever since. I have made a quilt, canned strawberry jam, made Adam a book bag, and made Tessa a tutu. It feels so good to be so productive. (I think I am going to start selling tutu's, so if you want one for your princess let me know!! I can do any size, any colors for pretty cheap!) In addition to keeping my hands busy, I have been getting the rest of my body ready for summer-my Mom and I ran/walked our first 5K of the summer this past Saturday. It was awesome and felt so good to cross that finish line! I can't wait for the next one!This picture is for my Grandma! Thanks for the material :)

A Daddy's Touch

Tessa has been sick with a bad cold this week-so not fun! On Wednesday night she had such a bad night that I didn't get to bed until 5am Thursday morning. Eric got up with the kids around 7:30 and let me sleep another hour. When I got up and got my eyes awake enough to focus, I saw Tessa's outfit and burst into laughter. This is why I usually get her dressed.....but thanks for the help Honey!!

Bath Time!!

9 months old!

I can't believe how fast the last 9 months have gone by! She is getting so big and changing so much! She started crawling last week and is everywhere now and into everything! But we wouldn't have it any other way! We love you Tessa Boo!!

Sorry about the blurry picture....I can't get enough of this face!

A Happy Mother's Day!

Tessa the Turkey!

She'll hate me for this someday, but I just had to show how my dainty daughter sleeps-she either looks like a turkey or she sleeps with her legs straight up in the air. Whatever makes you comfortable I guess!

Cinco de Mayo!!!

My family LOVES Cinco de Mayo and we go a little overboard every year. My Mom, sister and I spent the afternoon in the kitchen making a feast! We made-jalapeno poppers, chilie relleno casserole, green enchilada casserole, enchiladas, chimichangas, salsa verde casserole, spanish rice, beans, peach-mango salsa, choco tacos and Adam and I made sombrero sugar cookies. It was good! We will probably be eating left overs for a month!

An Adam Story

So yesterday in Sacrament Meeting Adam was starting to get wild when I leaned over to him and said, "Adam please be reverent!" To which he responded, "No! I don't want to be reverent-I want to be Adam!" After that I wasn't very reverent because I was laughing so hard!

The birthday countdown begins!!!!
