I can't believe that this little girl is 7 already! It seems like just yesterday that I was holding her in the hospital the morning that she was born. Now she is this sweet little girl that we adore so much. Happy Birthday Paige!
On Tuesday Eli took his first steps between Blake and I. I can't believe that my baby is getting so big. It is so fun to watch him learn new things!
Last Saturday I ran in a 40 mile relay race. There were 8 people on our team and we each ran 5 miles! This was the first race I have ever ran in and it was hard but so worth it.
This is not your ordinary race either! It is a lot of hills. And mine was pretty much all downhill, and I started running at about 1pm so it was the hottest time of the day.
All I can say is it is over and I did it!
Our team finished 8th in the Womens Open! We were only 20 minutes behind the 1st team, so maybe next year we can win it!
This was our team (minus 2 girls)!
These last few weeks we have had family in from out of town and so that equals lots of fun family time. The girls absolutely love playing with their cousins.
A lady that Blake home teaches was needing to get rid of a couple guinea pigs and asked if we wanted them. I got a text from Blake asking if we did and I thought there is no way that this text is coming from my husband cause we had always said that we would probably never get a pet. Well it was from him and we did get a pet. Actually we are so crazy we got 2! So we are proud to announce the new additions to our house: Carly (the brown and white one) and Brownie the dark brown one.
The other night we were cleaning out our garage. Rylee had not had a nap that day and said she was tired. I told her to lay on the couch, hoping that she would fall asleep. Well she doesn't like to be by herself and so she came out and layed on the freezer. Pretty soon I looked over and she was out cold. It was so cute!!!!!!
My friend, Angie, took these wonderful pictures for us. I figured since Eli was 9 months old and I had never had his pictures taken and the last family picture we have is when the twins were about 4 weeks old I should get it done. I absolutely love these. I think that they turned out so well. Thanks Angie I owe you big time!
Eli is now almost 9 months old and he is just the sweetest baby ever. There is something about little boys and mom's hearts! He is a really easy baby. When he is tired I just go lay him in his crib and he goes right to sleep. He laughs really easily. And loves to snuggle. As of yet he has no teeth, can't crawl, and hardly ever rolls onto his tummy. But I am kind of greatful because then I don't have to baby proof yet.
My mom sent the kids an Easter package the other day and this was one of the things in there. Thanks Mom it was awesome!
I absolutely love when babies grab their feet and play with their little piggies. I think that it is the cutest thing in the whole world.
He has the most amazing blue eyes.
He is kind of a mommas boy but he also lights right up when his dad comes in the room. 
My really good friend Kara bought him this church outfit. He is such a handsome little boy! He is growing up intirely way to fast!!! If anybody ever finds a stop button let me know.
The other day I sat down to feed Eli and looked over and Rylee was sound asleep on the stairs. It was the cutest thing ever. And then this morning we went out to the kitchen and got breakfast, as we were waiting for Blake and Paige Rylee fell asleep on the table. So stinkin' funny!
