First few weeks at home...

Even though the first few weeks of bringing a new baby home

are sleepless and overwhelming, they are probably my most

favorite time! I have loved all three experiences of having a newborn

in our home. Avery and Jax loved holding Grady. 

First night at home. 

7/24 Grady's first bath in the tub

Taking pictures of all three is so fun!

The kids begged to hold him all day long. 

They were so in love!

First Sunday at church 7/7/13 

Grady was three weeks old and we did pretty good!

One month old and full of smiles!

This outfit was newborn size and wouldn't stay down over his big belly.

Grady's Blessing Day

 We blessed Grady on August 4th. Scott gave him an amazing blessing, he's such a special boy.

We love you Grady.

He got pretty angry during our little photo shoot...so in came the swaddle/binky trick and he 

was pretty content after that.

Summer 2013

So much happened this summer, and at the same time, I feel like we really didn't do much. Having a new baby in the beginning of summer is nice,

but at the same time, it was hard because the kids wanted to

be outside, and it was so hot!! I was afraid of the baby

over heating or getting sunburned. But, we

made it to the park as much as we could

and swam in the back yard and ate popsicles, which

is what my kids love doing!

We spent a lot of our days cuddling this sweet baby.

My kids were never jealous, and probably wanted to love on him a little too much!

We had a pretty low-key 4th of July. The kids played with sparklers and we had 

a bbq at the Boyce's with everyone. Luckily it doesn't take much to make these

two happy!

We played as much as we could with Scott in between him studying for the bar (which he passed!)

We've really loved having a backyard to play in. 

Family celebration of Scott being done with the bar.

We took lots of walks on the walking trail behind our house.

It conveniently leads us right to a park that no one is ever at.

Scott and I attempted to climb Badger mountain....we made it about half way before

we headed back. I was a little antsy leaving my baby for the first time.

We went to the fair with Rachel and Brandon...it was HOT.

We attempted to potty train this kid...not so much success! I think we will keep 

talking about it, but he is definitely fighting it.

We did LOTS of indoor picnics.
