Leah's Blessing

Today was Leah's baby blessing. It was an awesome day and all I really have to say is how grateful I am. I'm grateful to have such an amazing hubby who was able to bless our baby. I'm grateful for an awesome dad and grandfathers who honor their priesthood and were there with us today(it was a bummer that Kyles dad was sick and didn't stand in but we understand he didn't want to get the baby sick too) And I'm grateful for our sweet little baby and so glad she has joined our family.

Ever try to take a picture of a 5 year old, a toddler, and a newborn??? It should be an olympic event.

Does anyone else hate thinking of blog titles???

This is what our family has been up to these days:

Leah:

Leah has been an awesome baby so far. She will be exactly one month old tomorrow! She is a good eater and has mostly been a good sleeper as well. Except today....that girl has eaten at least once an hour all day today and was up a lot of the night last night. Maybe it's a growth spurt. She has a doctors appointment this week and I'm excited to see how much she's grown.

Hartley:

Hartley has been doing well with our new addition to the family. She likes to "help" with the baby and gives Leah kisses(and sometimes tries to sit on her). She's gotten used to sleeping in her "big girl bed". We are working on potty-training her but I think it's going to be a long road. I think she is starting to miss Natalie when she's away at school. Hartley is always excited to go pick her up at the end of the day. She's definitely work but she's the sweetest, goofiest little girl and we love her to death.

Natalie:

Natalie is doing awesome with school. She recently learned double-digit addition and her teacher has her going to a 1st grade class for reading because she's such a good reader. She's such a smartie. Natalie is also taking piano lessons and just learned how to tie her shoes. It seems like everything she does she does well and we're so proud of her.




Kyle:

Kyle is DONE digging the hole for the trampoline(actually he has been for a couple weeks I guess) Now we just have to get the trampoline IN the hold and we can get to landscaping the rest of our yard of dirt. Kyle was also released from his calling with the Young Men in our ward and is now serving in the Elders Quorum. He has been in YM's since we got married(almost 3 years) so he's looking forward to getting to know more people in our ward



Me:



Nothing much exciting here. I'm loving staying home with my girls, I have the best job in the world for sure!

I've been busy busy busy the past few weeks. Having 3 kids is so much different than having 2! Although I have to admit it isn't as hard as I was expecting it to be(but it hasn't even been a month yet....) Any time that I might have spent updating our blog is being spent loving on this little one:

Leah at 3 weeks

Maybe I'll get to do a more in-depth update another day! (but probably not)

Just a few of my favorite girls...
