i wanted blonde babies

And that's exactly what I got.

my new blog project

Remember when I said I was working on a blog project?
It was inspired by Caley Park.  She helped a lot with it!
And today is the BIG DEBUT!

Enjoy! :)

If you hadn't noticed by the blog name...it's all about food.
Pretty appropriate coming from me, huh?

a quick visit

My parents were in town for the weekend. They took us to dinner and then we played at the Gateway.



miss paige is ONE!

My sister, who had babies 14 months apart, told me she doesn't remember the first year of her second daughter's life.  Sadly, I completely agree.  Two babies, 15 months apart, equals absolutely no sleep or time to regain your sanity.

However, I would NEVER take back the decision we made to have Paige so soon after Porter.  She is an absolute joy in our lives.  Something about having a little girl...it just tugs at your heartstrings.

We had a family birthday party for Paige on Monday night.  And tonight we'll do a little something with just us.

 See those yummy cupcakes?  I made them from scratch - even the icing!  Want the recipe?  You can have it so soon....

Porter obviously did NOT want to take a picture.

Anyway...Happy Birthday Paige!



lately

We've been all over the place lately! 

Porter absolutely LOVES to mow the lawn with Daddy.  He walks right behind him with his own and does everything Daddy does.

 I was able to visit with two of my cousins on my Dad's side.  I don't see them very often...so it was so great to visit with them!  I wish we could play more often.

Second cousins :)

 Amy, me and Kristine

Paige had tubes put in her ears last week.  She literally has not slept through the night one time in her life.  She's had over 8 ear infections and one ruptured ear drum.  We're hoping this does the trick.  She cried for just a few minutes after waking up and then was just fine!

We went to a little farm at Thanksgiving Point with Grandma Eldridge.  Porter was a little timid around the animals at first.  The cows scared him.  But after a few minutes he was okay.  Paige was just happy to be outside playing.

And as for our little family - we're moving back to Logan to push through the last year of school.  Commuting and working at the same time was just too much for our family to do.  So here we go!

AND...I am working on a fun blog project.  Stay tuned for the opening day! :)

 Gosh, I love him.

a week in Idaho

(Check out my Dad jumping!)

I went to Idaho with my kids for a week.  James joined us at the end of the week for a reunion with my Mom's siblings. Gosh I love Idaho.  I had way too much fun.  Like our family picture?  We're still missing like 20 people.
