Rustin's 4 Month Checkup and 1st Tooth....

Rustin had his 4 month checkup today. He is in the 95% for height and weight. He weighs 17.1 lbs and he is 26.5 inches tall. He is really strong, he rolls really well from his back to his belly then gets ticked because he doesn't want to be on his belly. He has rolled from belly to back several times but he doesn't always do it. He loves to be talked to and he definitely knows who his mama is:) Also, he was chewing on my finger tonight and his first tooth broke thru! It makes me a little nervous since I am still nursing! haha I will miss the toothless grins:) We are so lucky to have such healthy little babies:)

A New Bed and A Happy Baby....

So we decided to convert Ashlyn's crib into a day bed! She loves it!

The other morning at about 4 o'clock I peeked into Ashlyn's room to check on her and didn't see her anywhere. I figured she was on the floor somewhere so I got down on my hands and knees in her dark room and let my eyes adjust and still couldn't find her. I kind of started to panic and then I hit her in the head with my hand-this is how I found her.....

halfway under her crib in the darkest corner of her room! I don't know if she got up and was playing with those toys or what! I had to get a picture, good thing my camera has a good flash:) I had to drag her out from under the crib, luckily she didnt' wake up!

Isn't Rocky a good dad.....

Here is a closer picture of the blanket my sister made for Ashlyn....isn't it amazing!!


Rustin is growing big and is such a happy little dude!!

He loves this swing!!!!

Full of smiles:)

July Happenings.....

This post has a lot of random info on it but I wanted to get it on our blog for my own jounaling purpose, so if you get bored just skip ahead! The kids and I spent a week in Moab with our family! Here is a pic of my mom and Rustin after she gave him a bath and a mohawk!



We went to the lake and played on the boat and jet ski's. There was about 30 of us so it was really fun! We usually go to lake Powell every 4th of July with Rocky's family but we haven't been for three years so it was nice to get out on the water! Here are some of us hanging out on the beach, Ashlyn is in the front sitting in the chair with the bandanna on her head! She liked the water on her feet but HATED getting them muddy! She would cry everytime she would get mud on her feet. Rocky is trying to break her of that, he has been working in the back yard and Ashlyn goes out with him so he makes mud for her to play in so she will get used to it! haha

Rocky, Brandi and Ashlyn on the Jet Ski. She loved it! When Rocky and I took her on the jet ski and she actually fell asleep!


Floating in her boat!


This video is short but it shows a little glimpse of Ashlyn's temper. Ashlyn kept getting mad because she couldn't get her swimsuit on by herself:) Her temper cracks me up, well most of the time:)


We bought a house and moved in the end of June. Yes we had a baby, bought a house and moved all in a months time....we didn't plan that very well. It was a lot harder than I thought which is why we are still not organized at all in our new house...someday:) We did have a lot of help from our amazing family and Rocky's students, I don't know what we would have done without them. Anyway, we moved in and five days later our A/C went out! Since it was 4th of July weekend they couldn't get anyone out to fix it so we moved back out of our house and stayed with some friends for a few days! Exciting times! This video is at our friends house on 4th of July, Ashlyn learning to play T ball and doing a dang good job!

Rustin's 2 Month Well Check....

Rustin had his 2 month checkup today! He weighed 13 lbs 4 oz and was 24.5 inches long!!! I about died when they weighed him! Ashlyn was only 12 lbs at her 2 month and I thought she was big! He is in the 95% for height, 75% for weight ( I think it has to be a higher % than that, 13lbs at 2 months come on) and 25% for head size, both of my kids have small heads:)

This is a video of Ashlyn and Bunny kissing and cuddling Rustin! This is Ashlyn at her gentlest. LOL

Kids Photo Shoot......

We had the kids pictures done last weekend! Ashlyn is 19 months old and Rustin is 2 months old:) Ash did pretty good, no meltdowns and we were able to keep her in the studio! Last time she kept running out to the lobby to play on the lego table.

She loves her brother:)

Chillin' on the beach

See future dancer, she always points her toes when they are off the floor:)


So happy...
