Sophie!!!!!

My Favorite little niece (on my side) Turned one June 5th! How did that happen so fast?! For her birthday I bought her the light pink Lace Petti Romper from The Hair Bow Company it was on sale for a steal too. I bought her a strand of pearls to go with it as well as a cute little ostrich marabou puff hair clip. (just pretend she's wearing the necklace in the pictures. I don't know if she just didn't want to wear it or if they forgot. Either way still sooo cute.

 I made my brother do a photo shoot of her in the outfit since I couldn't be there to see it! She's even cuter than I pictured if that's possible! I LOVE it! Here are the pictures my brother sent me! He also has pictures he's editing from her Birthday party but I haven't got those yet. But when  I do I'll be sure and post them cuz she was adorable!!! Her birthday was  rainbow colored and she had a tutu and headband to match. But for now here are the pictures of her in her birthday outfit I got for her!


My absolute favorite pic. I love the lighting.

Baby Shower


One of the Ladies I visiting Teach is having a baby this summer and I got to help with her baby shower. She has two girls and a boy and her husband has 3 girls and they decided they wanted to have a baby together and it's a girl! haha They were hoping for a boy but they are still thrilled with a girl. Who wouldn't be. Her color scheme she likes is Yellow and Gray and White. But my gift to her was PINK! It just seems wrong being the mom of three boys and not doing pink for a girl! lol Anyways i got her this super cute Lace Petti Dress from The Hair Bow Company online. I bought a cute strand of white pearls to go with it and I gave her a set of Lace headbands I got on Etsy from HERE and I also had a set of Nylon headbands like the bottom picture that I got from the hair bow company for .69 each So i got her bright pink light pink gray and white. 







This is the headband holder I made her! I was in charge of  the headband making station at the shower. So all the
guests got to come in and make a cute hair clip for the baby.

close up of the ribbons. 

p.s. I got the frame at the flea market for 1.50 and spray
painted it white then just sand papered it for the
distressed shabby chic look. I had all the Ribbons on hand
and the spray paint cost 1.99. Not bad for 3.49!








Erica also asked me to make
some cake pops! This was
my first time ever doing
them and I think they turned
out pretty awesome! I made 100


They were Lemon cake inside and dipped in white almond
bark and drizzled in yellow and gray. 
This is how I put them on display lol in Ice Cream buckets! Yeah we eat a lot of ice cream and I save the buckets...
don't judge.  The cake pops were handed out as favors for guests after the shower was over so I made a sign that
said, "Thanks for "popping" on by Erica's baby shower"

This was the hair bow making station! Her baby shower was in the Stake Center Pavilion. 

The Inspiration Board! I had no color ink! So I went to Lee's work to print them. NO color Ink. So I tried the Library....NO
COLORED INK! UGH! So we just had to deal with black and white. It would have been cuter in color but oh well what do
you do. 

Some of the little instruction signs to help guide the guests in making a hair bow. 






The Tutorial table! I put together and printed out a variety of hairbow making tutorials that anyone could do. So if
they really had no idea how they could look here and do it. 
After they made their bows or flowers or whatever they put a little tag on it with their name and clipped it here. I
didn't get a picture of the bows on the board unfortunately. I totally forgot but they turned out sooooo cute! People were so creative and did a really good job! i was impressed! There was even some who made super cutes bows that I didn't have a tutorial for. I loved it! Some day when I have a girl I'll be doing this at my shower! 


Love these fan decorations she bought for her shower.


                                 
The Cake! No I did not make it lol But it was super cute 
The money Tree. On her invitations she let guests know if they would
like to donate to a money tree that option would be available. So I put
this together for her! I just spray painted some branches white. tied
them together and put them in a pot I had. Stuck the branches in Styrofoam
and put rocks on the top so it wasn't insanely heavy with rocks. I tied a
yellow ribbon around the pot  and put clothes pins all over
the branches for guest to attach their money or cards with money.
I made a sign for it and it read, "It would be grand if your gift
could be, a little green on the money tree." :)

Mud!

Having fun in the mud! I let them play with the hose in the unplanted garden and went inside fed the baby and did some dishes and what not and when I came back out this is what i found! lol 

Dirty Boys! Landon and his mud face...notice he's not as dirty as Zeke? Yeah Zeke had some "help" getting dirty thanks to Landon.

Sooo muddy! Landon loves helping Zeke getting dirty. I hear landon laughing hysterically and just knew it was cuz he was probably putting mud in Zeke's hair or on his face. I was right! lol I love the Butt crack picture! For some reason he hadn't taken off his diaper yet and it was soooooo soaked lol his little butt crack was hanging out it was hilarious lol I helped he get it off after I got that priceless picture lol They enjoyed the mud but they didn't enjoy the hosing off I gave them before they could come in the house and warm up in the tub lol needles to say they had fun. 

My Boys!

This is what my boys do all day long! Jump Jump Jump! They love the trampoline. They also love dropping their toys underneath the trampoline which drives me crazy sometimes since it's buried in the ground. I have to make them crawl in the hole to collect all their toys. I don't mind if it's toys that are ok outside if it happens to rain but they always seem to sneak out the ones I don't want outside. lol 
Love these boys!!! I love being the mom of all boys! It's the best! I don't care that I'm out numbered  I love it! I'm the princess of the household still lol Plus these boys are just so much fun. Just wait until you see them in the matching outfits I bought them. I need to do another photoshoot with them! This was just a spur of the moment enjoying the sun and popsicles. 

Here's some pictuers of them with CLEAN faces lol 

My little poser! :) haha usually it's always funny faces but I'm just glad he coopeartes and lets me take pictures of him. Zeke on the other hand screams and runs. I have to get pretty creative to get him to cooperate! lol 

Nice brother's enjoying a popsicle together :) 

Drake is 4 months old!


Here's our little Draco! Can't believe he's already 4 months old! Where is the time going?! He's the happiest baby I've ever known! Seriously! He's such a good baby! He's ALWAYS smiling! Even the pediatrician said he's "unusually social for his age" haha He was smiling and talking for the pediatrician at his visit Tuesday.

He's 14.6lbs (39%) and 26in (85%)
He's a happy smiley baby if you couldn't tell and he gets excited when anyone talks to him. He's starting to get a little scared if someone else has him that he doesn't know to well but he usually does just fine. he's a good eater and sleeps all night long for me! Usually wakes up at about 6am to eat and goes back to sleep. He sucks and chews on EVERYTHING and is droooooly! He loves grabbing for toys and is getting pretty good at it now. He rolls from front to back. He can scootch of his play mat! I don't know how he does it but since he was like 2 months old he'd turn himself around in circles now he's able to get off the mat and grab at other things!!! He's going to be crawling soooo soon! He tries to get his legs under him when he plays on his tummy. He's just getting big too fast! 
Happy Happy boy! He really is this happy all the time unless he's starving but even then he still tries to smile through his crying lol this is his new toy! A walker! He likes to be up and seeing everything! he's always been that way so the bumbo was ok but it didn't have any toys and he'd drop them and he's so wiggly I'm afraid he's gonna fall out of it with how he twists himself in it. Not that I put it on the table or counters but I still don't want him to fall out of it. and his floor mat he likes it with the toys but only for so long and I can't exactly take it into the kitchen with me where I can watch him. So anyways my Auntie Karel had actually sent me a giftcard to Wal Mart and this was one of the purchases! it was only 30bucks online! usually these things are like 65 on up if you want a cute one but I found this cute one on their website. Also it folds down flat and adjusts to different heights! I wouldn't have gotten it if it didn't fold down flat so that definately sold me! 

Drake 2 & 3 months


Here's Drake at 2 Months old! He weighed 11.8lbs (52%) and was 23.5in (72%) Such a happy boy as always he was smiling consistantly and even laughed for us at 8 weeks old. 



 Here's Drake at 3months old! I love the picture of him where I got his tongue sticking out! haha such a cute boy! I love my baby blue eyes!




Here's just some random pictures from april of the boys. I have a million pictures on my phone I need to upload as well but that'll be for a different day. 
 Drake in the bath and actually liking it (and him just being cute)! He usually just cries and gets a quick bath. He likes bath time better without the bath chair or if he's sitting up on his own (obviously we hold him  up) but as long as he's not laying in the chair he's ok still doesn't last too long before he wants out which is funny cuz my other two kids would live in the bath if they could.


Zeke fell asleep like this after getting out of the tub! He fell asleep so fast we didn't even get a diaper on him before he fell asleep! haha He was really tired! he's not one to just fall asleep anywhere.
