Technical Difficulties

I haven't been able to get my camera to register on my computer and Jared keeps saying he'll look at it but never has time. So I'm on my laptop hoping it won't go too slow. Tons have been happening. Mom, Dad, Kristen and Nana all came to town and it was so amazing! I love having a full house. I did not take many pictures. I was having to much fun but I'll show you what else has been happening through these many pictures.

Jared found this softball size contalope in our garden boxes. Left over from the people before us.

We watched our niece one morning. Jacob loves having buddies.

Mae turned 5 months!!

It hailed

We all got runny noses.

Mom found us these awesome bar stools! We hardly use our table anymore. 

I made cookies for my YW to decorate and handout. Jacob wanted some so I made some more while he helped! 

Such a good little helper.

Kiss

Mae helped too.

Mae's first bites of oatmeal. 

She needs a little practice.

Jacob watching.

These are from Kristen's camera from when she was here.

Grammy bought us matching socks!

Kristen had a birthday and wanted caramel apples instead of cake! Don't they look delicious?! 

She requested stew for dinner which was also amazing and mom found these cute bread bowls. And this is our cute dad. Love you papa

Jacob doesn't eat apples so I didn't make him a caramel apple but he wanted one when all his cousins had one so we stuck a regular slice on a stick. He actually took a few bites of it too!

We took lots and lots of pictures while we were all together. 

We are so photogenic. 

Fancy Fancy Photos

I have a sister in law who is an amazing photographer and I'm lucky enough that she loves me and my family enough to take our photos for free! Sometimes I feel bad like I'm taking advantage of her. I hope she knows we love her and all she does for us!

This is a new project that Anna and her friend Ashley have started. It's called Beautiful you and its basically glamour shots. 

Here's my kids. I really only wanted pictures of Mae but she threw Jacob in there and tried to get a few. They were both being stinkers and didn't give us any smiles. 

Random Fun

Here's a few videos. We don't have a real video camera. Just my normal camera that takes videos but I'm trying to take more videos so we have some kind of home videos to show my kids when they grow up.

I love watching them become buddies. I hope it sticks.

Yes he is in the toilet. No I had not just cleaned it but I did put him straight into the bath...

Trip to Idaho

We survived our road trip to Idaho! The kids and I went and visited our family up there. It was a crazy yet very good week. Jacob had so much fun with his boy cousins. Stella on the other hand... the little girl in the first picture is about 6 months younger then Jacob and he did not like her much. Ben was the same way with Jacob when they first started hanging out but they got used to each other. We only had a week with Stella and the only progress we made was Stella started to fight back lol. We didn't do too much but we did play in their back yard a lot which is a very nice backyard and we had family movie night and made cookies. Anna is an amazing photographer so she took pictures of Mae and me. When I get the cd I'll post some. We had so much fun. We love you Marshall's! We did also get to see Nicole for a bit too which was nice. We love you too Mclaughlin's!

Jacob loved the trampoline and his cousin Grant. Grant would run around with him and say things like "Come on buddy!" and "Here buddy!" lol it made me laugh every time. 

Mae and I loved the back porch swing

Mae also turned 4 months while we were there!

Bath Time

sorry there is no blocking out privates. I didn't think it was that bad...
