He's on the move!

I do not post enough about this adorable little guy! He is the happiest and most fun baby! He has been wiggling all over the place for a few weeks now and now that he is rolling, he is all over the floor. I finally got some pictures of him rolling over. The kids love watching him do his "tricks".




 Once he is on his belly, he looks like a seal. He will balance himself on his belly and keep his arms and legs in the air.

 Baby thighs make me happy!
 He is tolerating tummy time a bit better these days. He is getting better at rolling from his belly to his back, so that is helping. It helps when he can chomp on a toy or his fingers. 


 He used to have red hair back there. Now he just looks like a bald old man. 


 He isn't left alone much. There is always someone in his face or kissing his head. He is one loved boy!


 And, now we know we can't just set him in his bouncer without buckling him anymore. Sneaky little boy!

The Frozen Party

Last Thursday, we headed to the Springville Art Museum for a Frozen Party. The girls had been looking forward to this since we found out about it in December. Adam and Caleb got to tag along. We told our friends, Cooper and Presley about it, so they joined us. There were several different craft stations set up for the kids. But the highlight was seeing Elsa and Anna.

 Adam and Cooper just wanted to get to the hot chocolate.
 We made some cool snowflakes.
Before we left we had some yummy hot chocolate and then someone asked me if the girls could be in a picture for the paper. I snapped a quick shot too. We are excited to see the article when it comes out!
It was a fun afternoon getting to do so many art projects (Tessa's kind of Heaven) and the girls loved being in their Elsa dresses all afternoon.

Gwen's Birthday Party

Last Sunday we had the whole family over to celebrate Gwen's 3rd birthday. Gwen wanted a Frozen Birthday party, so Mommy did her best to accommodate that. 
We had food to remind us of different parts of the movie, Frozen.  We had ham and turkey sandwiches (We finish each others sandwiches), ice castle blocks (jello jigglers), Olaf's noses (carrot sticks) Sven's antler's (pretzels), 2 salads (Troll Tossed Salad and Coronation Salad), Hugs, (Warm Hugs) kisses (A Kiss to melt a frozen heart) and chocolate (I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face).

Mommy made Gwennie an Elsa cake. It turned out pretty good. 

Gwen was not in the mood for pictures all day. This child does not cooperate on birthdays. 
We had to have a twirling party before everyone arrived. 



She got lots of fun presents and has been happily playing with her new things all week!




That face!



She loves birthday candles and has been so excited to blow her candles out. 



I think instead of baking for hours on end for my girls, I will just start making them bowls of frosting, since that is all they eat anyways.

She is definitely our threenager, but she is oh so fun!

5 Months Old

I have to keep counting to make sure it has really been 5 months! Each month seems to fly by with this happy and adorable little guy. He turned 5 months old on Sunday and also started rolling over that same day. That made Mommy happy and sad all at the same time. He is the happiest, most cheerful baby! Even his doctor is impressed with how happy and "talkative" he is. He currently weighs, 16.7 lbs and is 25 1/2 inches long. He loves to be on the floor to play and find his toys but he still hates being on his tummy. He loves being around his siblings and is having fun discovering everything around him. He especially loves to eat his toes and is always chomping on his fingers.
 He is adorable and we adore him!
