We haven't done as much this summer with a new baby and all, so Colin decided to take the boys backpacking. Me and Lila stayed at the cabin and they ventured off up the mountain. I wasn't worried about them until at 1 in the morning a huge thunderstorm rolled in! It was pouring and the lightening was amazing. They survived it ok. I had Colin take lots of pictures.

3 Months!

hairdo!

and those are Colin's hairy legs, just in case you were worried i don't shave mine

Smiler girl!

Lila is 3 months old! I can't believe it. She is getting so big and holds her head up all the time now. She talks a lot and is just getting cuter by the day, how is that possible?

Happy Fathers Day!

He took the kids to the monster truck show

Colin is the BEST dad. He became a dad at 15 and I think he has done a great job. He is so hands on and makes sure he spends time with his kids everyday. He loves to bathe the baby and put her in her jammies every night. He calls it his daddy-daughter time. He wrestles with the boys right when he gets home from work, so Brennan can get out all of his energy before bedtime (too bad he has endless energy) He plays video games with the kids, jumps on the tramp, makes huts, rides on the motorcyle, goes fishing, horse rides, snake catching, magic tricks, I could go on and on. I am so glad he is the father of my children! I couldn't have done better. We love you Col!

Tramp Fun!

Isn't she just prescious?

Yay! Connor had his last day of school today, and it finally feels like summer is here! We went up to the cabin, and have been outside a lot. Its going to be busy with all 3 kids home all day. Good thing we love having friends come over! My kids get bored of each other. Lila is getting so big! She is such a good baby, and happy all the time. I discovered that she can wear pigatils! I love having this little girl sooo much!

Lila's blessing

I didn't get a good picture of her in her dress! whoops

We blessed baby Lila a few weeks ago. Colin gave her such a beautiful blessing and she looked so cute in her dress! Thanks to all the friends and family for their support in her special day!

I am learning to sew!

I have been making these onesies and baby legs for little Li, I think they turned out fantastic!
plus the matching bows!

I have become crafty! I wanted to cover up this old bookshelf that I just hated looking at. So I came up with thisAnd I decided to cover up some of my pillows to match

Why didn't I think of this sooner?
