JuSt A FeW...

He is the cutest most protective BIG brother! I love it. He will hold her standing up and pat her on the back and can actually get her to stop crying. CUTE as HECK!
ERIN...for you to see the cute outfit, but you can't see the flower on the shirt! This definately won't be the last pic in it though...Peyt keeps saying he really thinks her pants are cute in this pic :)
Not hardly ANY pics of me with little Kinlee, so we snapped one...and Drew thought he was in it too :) Poor dude, should have made that work out a little better. haha
YES, Kinlee is wearing a bow in the tub...explanation...I wanted a pic of her in the tub, but didn't want them to look like her brothers pics :) So I threw on the purple get up that she never gets to wear. There you have the reason for a bow in the tub.
She LOVES when her brothers talk to her! She lights right up!
and Happy Birthday to Miss Jill! Celebrating at Red Robin, yum!
AND...Tys came home and headed straight for his project without me saying a word! He started the other day, and finished up tonight. The backsplash looks AWESOME! I love it! Especially seeing how we never ended up doing one in our last house. Glad we put our minds to it and stuck with it! THANKS TYS!!!!!!!!!!

KiNLee 2 MoNtH CheCk UP and...

SO sad she is already two months...the time really does fly by too fast! Wasn't I just SOOO pregnant!?! :( Kinda sad. Anyway here are her stats:
Weight: 10 lbs 7 oz.
Height: 22 3/4 inches
Healthy and cute as ever!
OH~! duh, I totally spaced this for remembering! Before we left to the Dr. Peyt was saying how Kinlee would get shots. Drew kept saying "I not want Kinlee get shots!" I told him it would be okay. Thinking nothing of that, Kinlee layed on the table for her shots. As soon as the nurse put the first one in, Drew ducked down, covered his eyes and started crying saying "No!!!" It was seriously the sweetest saddest moment ever! He is one softie, and you'd never guess it. He must love his sister! I loved it and it made me wanna cry :) Instead I assured him Kinlee was okay...and after she was done he got up wiping tears away still saying she shouldn't get shots. so cute! FLASHBACK to last week...our high degree temps kept us outside! So we had a picnic on the tramp with plenty of otter pops to follow!
Kinlee got enjoy her cute hat! Thanks em! :) Good thing she gave her this one cause the one we bought was too big!
Thanks to Jill for throwing a quick hang out together on Sat....she suggested we all get together while the guys went and saw Thor. We had way too many treats and yummy popcorn and most of all good comfy bonding time! :) All I did was offer our house to come to (so Kinlee could go to bed) and it was that easy!
Cute Drew! He is seriously hilarious! He is always throwing on something of Kinlee's and laughing his head off. He has the sweetest cutest little laugh! I can't get enough of it!
Little Kinlee in her blessing dress...just thought we'd try it on since she is getting blessed Sunday. How awesome is it that I once fit into that too! Thanks mom! I'm so excited she gets to wear it! Oh and not sure why she wasn't happy .... bugged by her brothers bugging her while I looked for the pink quilt tucked away in a box somewhere!
AND Peyt gave me this cute flower for Mothers day...we accidently left it at my moms and she Doctored it back to good health and returned it! THANKS mom! and thanks to my cute Peyt for the beautiful flower! Love my little fam and can't get enough of each one of them!

My brother is amazing, headed to the Hospital right before we were on our way out to get some video of her, love it. Thanks Nate, I may or may not have cried as soon as the music started :) and the boys ask to watch it over and over...

**Randoms**

I was so sad the other day when I tried to get into my blog to do a post and thought it was only mine and was sure I lost everything. Glad to know it's here but taught me the lesson that I should print out my blog book again soon in case it happens! So anyway here we go...
Oh just a cute card from the 2 year old next door! :) Thanks Beckham! haha
Cute little Kinlee! I try and grab the camera when she smiles so big, but I think I enjoy the smile more than trying to capture it on camera :)
AND our little princess turned 2 months! No stats yet, but we have her appt tomorrow, so that will call for another post! :)
For school on Thursday, Peyts class went to the park, played, and shot off rockets they made.
He thought it was awesome!
The boys at school! Peyt loves his little buddies!
AND Peyt started T-ball...lucky for him he has the coolest coach! haha Yep, his dad! Tys did awesome and was so cute with them for their first practice. I loved seeing him teach what he loves!
Wow, guess that's it! I need to upload more pics already. Maybe later :)

SiLLy silly BOYS!!!

Enough said...almost! :)
The boys told me they were Jack Sparrow...and they told me to come see this, their ship? A messy room...okay! Whatever works :) At least they were using their imaginations AND they are super cute J.S.'s
They kept coming out in all of Tysons shoes, it was really hilarious...so naturally, of course, haha I grabbed the camera and told them to show me their muscles since they WERE in WORKOUT shoes! :)
Oh...well, ALL day they had asked to play outside. Last week we played outside all day everyday basically and my house had too much to show for that. Needless to say, I wanted to stay in and take care of some cleaning that was over due. But told them to stay on the patio outside and they could have a popsicle. Hmmm...the popsicles were gone and this is where they ended up! haha I did have Peyt come in and change his clothes, luckily...
they didn't even care it was cold outside, they enjoyed every minute and I enjoyed watching them have so much fun. Seriously, it was precious to me to see them enjoying the muddy dirt, because they were being BOYS!
Yes, this is what happened, mud in the hair, covering faces, ears, hands(this picture doesn't even do justice, I wish you could have seen their clothes too!)...so they stripped down before they could come inside! and straight to the shower for the second time today!
LOVE every minute of my boys! They are so entertaining and I wish I could be so carefree like them!

HaPPY MoTHER's DAY!!!

Best. Gift. Ever. Being a mother to my three blessings! and having so many great moms in our lives...especially my own! :)
First we went to the traditional Mothers Day party down at my Uncle Troys on Sat. OF COURSE he pulled out his fun 4 wheelers and it was non stop fun from there out! :) The boys both got to drive and didn't want to the fun to end.
My mom and her cute sisters, sister in laws and her own mom :) Love these ladies!
Tys told me to just sleep in...I really did try, but I am not good at sleeping past 8 at the LATEST! Anyway, I laid there for awhile and had Kinlee laying by me, so I watched her sleep and couldn't help but feel so lucky to be her mom and then in walked my cute boys, all 3 of them! then I realized I just got luckier! :) With their cute breakfast, cutest cards, a movie that Peyt grabbed from downstairs (haha) and getting to eat breakfast in bed together, cause they love eating whatever I'm having :) LOVED it! Thanks Tys and boys!
Then to my moms for yummy Hawaiin Haystacks...our sibling pic with our mom minus Erin, cause she's too far away! Miss you sista! :)
Grandma Debbie with the grandkids
Love you mom!
Oh and the BEST yet, I knew it would be SUPER CHEESY, super funny...but also bound to fill my moms eye with a little water and somewhat touching? Well, I got my siblings to sing "Mother, I Love you" from the Childrens Primary songs...It was probably anything but touching, it was down right hilarious! Pretty sure we should have practiced at least once, but then it might not have been as entertaining! Thanks for pullin' off some fun sibs! :) haha
AND my mom made me this cute flower boquet...she had traced my kids hands while she was watching them the other day and baked them into cookies! how cute and creative!
CUTE! Love it!
Then we headed home for Tysons mom, brothers and sista to come have some dessert!
This was hilarious...while I read it we were all laughing so hard! Good Ol' Drew! gotta love it!

SO thanks to my family for such a special Mothers Day! I couldn't get enough of Drew's cute little voice telling me Happy Mothers Day every couple minutes, Peyt running up and giving me a hug and kiss and telling me he loved me BECAUSE that's what he PROMISED the Bishop he would do! and for a hubby who takes such good care of me! and for this sweet little Kinlee who is so precious and I can't believe I am the mom of a girl...or of our two boys! Nothing more rewarding than this.
AND a Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there. So many great examples and so many we're grateful for! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

SO BeHiND!

Well, for me anyways, and now we don't want that, do we Erin?!?! haha :) This is so not like me to go a whole week PLUS a day without a post. I guess the life of 3 kiddos is taking away that extra time I ever had. But I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I love this baby sleeping position...although Drew still does it sometimes too! AND I have to explain myself with her ALWAYS in this outfit in pics. Because it is a newborn size, and I ABSOLUTLEY love it, she wears it once a week for sure and it happens she always gets pics in it. I actually saw it at the store, and wanted to buy it in every size...should have I guess :)
She is smiling ALL the time! It is so stinkin' cute. Just trying to capture at least one on camera is quite the task though!
See...her outfit again! haha
The boys got Gift Cards to Chuck-E-Cheese for Easter, so I've been bribing them to be good and go to bed with the reward of going today. AND I feel bad we have been stuck home cause someone has been sick and I'm paranoid about taking a new baby out. Anyway, today we went, and had the whole place to ourselves for almost an hour and then only a few people came after that. It was perfect! We had Dash and Em come too AND Grandma Debbie surprised the boys!


and...this is what their 45 tokens bought them! haha Nice...I'm not sure how many tickets it was total.
THEN we had Dash come over to play...Peyt kept asking if they could go outside. After about the 3rd time, I realized, what the heck, it is finally so nice today so I stopped cleaning and we went out. Our time was much better spent outside! I realized I could clean later so that we did and enjoyed the warmth!
Then Drew keeps talking about this cute little Hadlee across the street and calling her his "girlfriend" He noticed her at church last week and hasn't stopped talking about her. He'll say "Mom, Hadlee my girlfriend...I love her." It's really cute, but also WAY too early! haha Anyway, so today since we were already outside, we had her mom send her out too! She is so cute and Drew was SUCH a gentleman to her, it was hilarious watching them! He is NOT one to share, but shared everything with her, no problem!
Enjoying some snow cones! As always, appropriate with sunny weather! :)
I keep forgetting to take the pic I've wanted of this cause it's fun to remember. Peyt got drawn out for getting into the Chinese program. I will admit I am scared, but know he will do great...I hope!
and I have to give Drew huge credit for the amazing Brother he is to Kinlee. He is always telling her it will be okay and calms her down all the time with cute words and helping her with a binkee. I absolutely love it, and it's times like these you couldn't ask for a better job than being a mom :)
Today Peyt told me something about Dash and then said "because mom, he's my best cousin!" So cute. and SOOO lucky because he will have him right down the street in no time! They have so much fun together...Dash was definately meant to be! (because he was an accident child...haha)
and like the 5th attempt at a good pic of the boys! hilarious if you were there! :)
Cute boys for tub time! they love the big tub!

AND can I get a drum roll, please....!!!!!!!
For those of you who don't know, I don't eat red meat. Chicken and white turkey it is for me...this has been since like jr. High. SO since we have been married, I have made meals with hamburger, or tys will cook his own steak...BUT yesterday, after almost 8 years of marriage...I made our FIRST ROAST! haha because I was feeling bad for my family that they didn't get to enjoy it just cause of me. I LOVE the veggies cooked with it, I just don't eat the roast. So I threw it in, with a recipe from my mother in law, and we walked in from church smelling the scent that took us both back to the Sundays of living at home with our parents. It was funny, we both said it at the same time! AND Tys said it was really good and Peyt LOvED it and said I was good at making "steak" Well, I thought it was quite the accomplishment! The veggies tasted great, so I too benefited from my first Roast Meal! :)

**Ps..the pic of the roast is not my own, I didn't actually have a pic of it...so I borrowed it from the lovely internet if you are wondering...haha**
