Letters, Letters Everywhere! And my Passion for Fashion.

It all started three or four months ago.  Lincoln has loved his little Shapes Ball toy ever since he got it when he turned one.  He knew all of his shapes in no time.  He loved it when Ryan and I would draw shapes on the magnadoodle and ask him to identify them.  Soon I realized, if he can identify shapes, why wouldn’t he be able to identify letters.  So I started teaching him letters….and HE LOVES LETTERS!  He is constantly bringing me the white board and marker to practice them with him.  While I haven’t pushed this on him at all, I must say I’m pretty proud of the little guy.  He can identify every letter in the alphabet and he’s only 19 months. Lets hope his love of learning lasts!

 

In other news…  I found THIS FASHION BLOG and I love it.  I’ve been trying to copy some of her looks. I love the way she ties her scarfs and belts and does her hair.  I don’t know that if I pull it off quite like she does, but it’s fun trying :)

Utah Febcation

We didn’t go home for Christmas this year and my mom was sad.  So she decided to fly me and my boys and Wendy and her boys home in February as a birthday present to herself.  Since Ryan has been so busy lately I decided to stay a while…I stayed most of February and had a wonderful “Febcation”.  The following are some visuals and highlights in no particular order.

Valentines Day with the babies and Great Grandma’s amazing, delicious food and dinner party.

Super fun girlfriends weekend including shopping, photo shoot (enter “girlfriends”), cupcakes and sleepover.

Jamberry Nails with Wendy.  Love them.

Played in the snow.

Worked out.

Went to Church.

Threw my parents a surprise Birthday party including grandbaby hand printed apron and T-shirt gifts, personalized game of Pictionary, and a yummy dinner.

Took a walk down memory Lane spending a day in P-town at the BYU visiting Lisa for lunch at the Wilk.

Went Swimming!

Visited Boise to see Grandma and Grandpa Harris and Aunt Alesha and Kaylyn.  So fun to see them especially Alesha who is pregnant and on bed rest with Triplets! Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures of the mama to be :(

One other highlight and probably my favorite day of the trip was the day I went skiing and snowboarding with my sisters and Dad.  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! It was my job to bring my camera because it is the smallest and easiest to ski with…and I did…but the battery was dead.  It’s too bad too because it was the most gorgeous day and we had such a blast.

Such great times in Utah, shout out and thank you to mom for bringing us out there, but now it’s back to livin’ it up in the burgh.  It’s good to be home with Ryan again :)

Diaper Days

I can’t believe how fast they are growing up. It’s so weird that I have two boys, and that they are already this big. I feel like I blinked and Sawyer is almost 5 months. My pregnancy with him and now his life is going by so fast. I barely even remember being pregnant with him. If feels like I never was. I am so grateful for them. I am so lucky.

My Sweet Little Bean – 4 Months

My sweet little Soy bean turned for months on the first and wanted to document where he’s at in his little life.  He’s such a laid back, easy going baby and I always wonder if he really is that much easier than Lincoln was…or if I was just that much more paranoid and nutty with Lincoln that I remember Lincoln as hard.  Probably a little of both.  Sawyer has really started smiling and laughing a lot, and I can’t get enough of it.  He grunts when he laughs and it comes from someplace way back in his throat. 

He’s a great sleeper and a great eater.  He loves watching Lincoln, playing under his play mat, and looking in the mirror at himself…just like his brother, and taking baths…just like his brother.

I wish I were a better photographer but it’s better than nothing.  Here he is on his 4 month Birthday.

 

FYI..He’s actually only 3 months and a couple days in this video.
