Cookout

We had our first official cook-out!

It really wasn't that warm but with a big raging fire, it was very doable. The kids had a lot of fun! For some reason they enjoy dinner more when it is cooked on a stick over a blazing hot fire and burnt to the crisp!

It is always great to be outside, and after a long winter of being "caged" with a baby, it was very welcomed!

 

 

 

It was a little windy for Dakota so she hung out in the back of the Expedition

 

Looking forward to more cook outs this spring and summer! It sure makes dinner easy on momma!

Monster Trucks

Clay has had an obsession with Monster Trucks.

 

We heard they were going to be coming to Pocatello, so we surpised the kids with a night full of MoNsTeR TrUcKs! We needed a little get away after all the "March Madness". So we made a weekend out of it!

We decided it would probably be way too loud for the baby, so Dakota and I hung out at the hotel in our room. Which was time well spent snuggling with our sweet babe!

 

The kids had a lot of fun, but after awhile had had enough and left a little early. At least they beat the mad rush to get ouf there!

 

 

 

 

Jauncee was in charge of taking pictures. I think she did a great job!

 

She must have been hungry, eyeing the food on the sign! They did eat an expensive meal before they went, but you know kids...they are always hungry...especially right after dinner! :)

 

It was a fun weekend, just ended to fast!!

 

We need to make more time for weekends like these! 

2 Months

 By the time I finally get caught up she is going to be 3 months old!

I love this little girl so much! She is such a good baby, probably the best out of the 4.

Dakota sleeps through the night in her co-sleeper next to me. I have a hard time not snuggling with her all night...but know it is for the best! (It is a good habit to have your little ones sleeping in their own bed.) When she does happen to wake up in the early morn, I definitely take advantage and we snuggle!

When I took her in for her 2 month check-up she weighed in at a whopping 11.5 lbs. and was already 23 inches tall. She must be getting something to eat! The poor thing had to get 5 different immunizations and she was not happy. She also ran a fever for the next 24 hours.

 Dakota started smiling at about 6 weeks, it melts my heart every time. 

This little girl loves to coo and be talked to! If I happen to be nursing her while I am on the phone, she stops and smiles and starts talking back. I love that she thinks I am talking to her! It is too cute.

Isn't she a doll? Don't you just want to kiss those chubby little cheeks?

I am so in love...and so blessed!
