Spring!

First signs of Spring! I think Ben and I have gone out everyday to check on this first flower to bloom. The good news is I think I planted about 300 bulbs in the back yard so many more to come!
Then the next day I opened up the window and was looking at this - Spring in Logan
So John and Hayley called us the other night to go out with them, we were waiting for them to come and I looked out the window and a limo pulled up. John got a limo for our date night! I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time. We love those guys!
Ben's first Easter, he thought it was great to find the eggs.
The 4 of us, yes I can count there is someone in Sarah's belly!!!! She gave us an egg on Easter with a note that said, hatching this September!
We headed up to Midway to stay at Zermott for the kids Spring Break. Ben loves to watch his cousin's, he is totally entertained by it all but the best part was swimming!
My little twins! I buzzed both of their hair this week. Everyone told me to cut Ben's hair and it would grow back faster, they better be right because I was about in tears while I was cutting it

March Madness

March started out with some "madness" for us! Thank goodness for these little boys, this was after 2 days of Ben screaming, I finally called in reinforcement! Ben stopped eating Tuesday night and pretty much screamed until Saturday, not eating, barley sleeping and making his mom a nervous wreck! After going to the doctor multiple times we think that he couldn't tolerate formula (I was just starting to quite nursing). He is doing better now but a couple of scary days.

There's a happy boy! He loves being outside.
Elo's wedding! She looked amazing, I was just sad that my little boy didn't cooperate and screamed most of the night!
We tease Bry that he isn't much bigger than Ben so we decided to swaddle him up like Ben and put him to bed!
We went up to Bear Lake to watch all the basketball games. It was lots of fun especially when the girls cleaned house in poker!
Finally we can go outside for a walk! The whole stroller ride Ben kept leaning forward trying to look at Wynter.
He's getting so big - two teeth and he is sitting on his own. He doesn't crawl yet but rolls all over the place, I will leave him on this blanket and look back and he on the wood floor.

February Update!

Ben is 6 months old (almost 7 because I am a slow blogger) I can't believe it's been half a year. We went to his 6 month check up and he is now not even in the 5% for weight, I told the doctor I promise I am trying but I think I have the world's worst eater, he would rather watch Sammy run around the house and suck on this toes!
Ben and Wynter on Valentines - pretty cute little cousins
Thanks to Hayley for watching Ben I finally got to go skiing!
I put these jammies on Ben and Danny told me he looked like Hugh Hefner or Santa Clause, I thought he looked cute
We got to tend Will and Drew for the weekend while Hayley and Josh were in Hawaii, I had to take a pictures of the cute little boys matching - good news all of the 4 nephews got these jackets last year so now Ben will eventually have one in every size as they get passed down!
Ben's new favorite thing is being chucked in the air (I hope this isn't damaging!). He gets so excited as Danny starts counting, 1-2-3!
Danny had to work in Ft Lauderdale for the week so Ben and I tagged along. I guess there are some perks to having a husband that travels all the time... sky miles and going with every once in a while!

ALOHA!

Ben was great on the plane but I swear those seats are much smaller then I remember!
We made it! I think Ben was happier then all of us to be out in the fresh air with no socks on

Family pictures, Cherie had a photographer come and take pictures of us, they turned out so cute and I am so happy she decided to do that

Nana and Popie with all their grandkids!




Whale watch - it was pretty amazing to see the whales up close and personal- they are huge!

about 20 or more dolphins were swimming along with the whales, they are so much fun to watch, they are show offs! They were slipping and jumping - lots of fun
I have never seen a kid love the water more then Ben. He loved the water, we would cry to get in and then he would just kick and kick

He also loved the grass and just being able to be outside!
Thanks Nana and Popie for an amazing trip! Memories to last a life time!

Wear your SPF!

I know it is the middle of the winter and the last thing you are thinking about is sunscreen but you might be thinking about the tanning bed, so word to the wise stay far away! This past summer my sister Sarah kept telling me I had a weird spot on my back. It didn't notice it and it didn't look anything like I would expect a cancer spot to look so I kinda forgot about it. Sarah, being the good sister she, is kept pestering me about it. I finally went in before Christmas to have it looked at and he they said it was probably pre-cancer, no problem. Well a couple weeks later I got a call from the doctor and sure enough it was cancer! Any one who has ever been to a sunny vacation spot with me probably isn't to surprised by this (I burn real easy). Well I went in and got it removed. The doctor said I was very lucky to have noticed it because this kind is unusual and spreads fast! So thanks to my nurse of a sister I am cancer free for now but will be wear SPF 50 for the rest of my life!

Merry Christmas

Our first Christmas Eve as a new little family
Christmas morning, Ben with all his presents!
Of all the years I have watches little kids open Christmas presents this was the best reaction I have ever seen, Halle's little face just lite up when she open up Elmo. He is pretty cute as well, I have already put in a request for Benjamin for next Christmas from the Grandparents.
A very happy Christmas morning at the Adam's house hold
Benjamin and Wynter getting their diapers changed
My dad got all the boys Utah State football uniforms with their names on the back. It was pretty cute, to bad Ben is to small, maybe next year.
He still enjoyed playing with the helmet
I got the bright idea to make matching PJ's for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas, 9 jammies later and everyone is happy!
Wynter wasn't to excited about her PJ's

time for an update!

My little bumbo boy! Danny gets so nervous when i put him in but i think he looks so cute!
my nephew Drew celebrated his 4th birthday and Big Blue got to come to the party.
it was priceless the look on Drew's face when Blue came walking in!
Benjamin got a new cousin - even better a cousin that lives about 2 miles away - Wynter Rose Adams born Nov 27. It made for quite an exciting Thanksgiving.
The best part about my 4 month old is the little personality that is coming out - honestly what could be cuter!
Getting ready to say his prayers!
We blessed Ben on Nov 1st. We had to keep putting it off to make sure everyone could be there, as you can see Ben didn't wait he just kept growing right out of his blessing outfit!
It turned out to be a beautiful day and it was great to be with friends and family
