Fun Summer Days

We can barely believe how big Blake is getting! It seems like just yesterday he was a tiny little guy now I can't help but call him "Mr. Chunk"! At 17 lbs he is quickly becoming the little man of the house.

Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Larry's House

The Green's invited us all out to ride the Swather (I have not idea if that's how it's spelled!) and to go slip'n sliding.  Brycen definitley had the most fun with the tractor....Jace actually rode it once!

Blake did get to sit in the tractor with Grandpa Larry.  Maybe when you're older you can learn to drive it!

But really Blake spends most of his time catching some zzzz's..................................

 He slept for 8 1/2 hours last night. What a champ! Here's to hoping it becomes a habit :)

Week of Firsts

We just got back from our trip to Salt Lake to visit the Allen's.  Blake had a lot of firsts including:
                   First time seeing Uncle Jesse
                   First trip to Salt Lake to visit cousins Carter and Halle

                   First swim

                   First trip to the zoo being awake! (He really is awake!)

                   First time eating at Texas Road House (mommy's favorite!)

I also had a first today..........leaving Blake in the nursery! He did way better than me.  Even though I was only two rooms away it was a lot harder than I thought! I was sure I would never be one of THOSE moms who couldn't leave their kids, you know, the moms I always push out the door and tell them everythings going to be ok. Yep, that's me!  He was a champ though and slept the whole time.

Another first..............first dentist appointment in 5 years this week. YIKES! Hopefully all turns out well :)

Hello to the world of blogging!

Hey everyone! My sister, Heather, set this blog up for me and I'm actually excited about writing on it.  After watching the movie "Julie and Julia" I am also wondering..."Is anyone out there? Is anyone reading me?" Our life is way more exciting and interesting now that we have beautiful and wonderful Blaksters.  We are planning on going on a hike with the Allens tomorrow and Blake is going to have his first swim in the afternoon.  Big day! I'll have to post some pics of our adventures.
