A Quick Bite!

Who doesn't like it when guest's pop in?

Joel and I popped in on Jon and Whitney a while ago for dinner.  While we enjoyed Chipolte, the kids enjoyed McDonalds.  I think Cosby may have even enjoyed a fry or two.   Eat up!


Noah's 3 Months

The months are flying by.  Our little boy is now 3 months old.  We have started giving Noah a bottle at night in hopes he'll sleep longer, but no such luck.  He still get's up 1-2 times at night.  But on the plus side, sometimes he holds his own bottle.  He's also rolling over easily from his tummy to back.  And we started using his the bumbo.  He's not a fussy baby by any means, but he does like to have you in his sights so the bumbo has been very helpful.








New Tires

My car needed new tires, so Joel ordered them and had them shipped to the ranch.  Before they were installed on the car, they kids had fun playing inside.  Who needs toys when we have tires.



Summer Swim Lessons

Since Beau and Bella strongly dislike the water, we thought we'd try swim lessons this year.  The kids each had private lessons at the Noma's house and the Elson and Penner kids were there as well.  Nichole Grauman was their instructor and did a great job of making them get in the water.  Although they cried during every single lesson, I do think we made progress.  Both Beau and Bella will get in the water with us.  They are finally off the steps.  Baby Steps.

Cherry Picking

One day Jenny and I took our kids on a walk to visit Papa Nini during Cherry Picking Season.  Beau had to stop at every low hanging branch and pick cherries to eat along the walk.  Papa Nini even took the kids for a little ride.  We love Cherry Season!



Mother's Day 2012

 For Mother's Day 2012 my kids gave me flowers.  Best flowers I've ever received.  





Sleeping Babes

I can't help but take pictures of the kids.  It's just too cute and funny.  Here are a few of my summer favorites.

...then he made his way to our bed.

Just a boy and his ball with his foot on the wall.
