Tribute to Peaches

I am so excited for Peach Days coming up this weekend!
I am peach lover and a huge fan of Peach Days!
We go up every year to Brigham to celebrate...I think I have only missed on year
and that was while I was on my mission.

My parents neighbor and my old sunday school teacher has a big peach orchard.
He always saves peaches for me...THANKS GEORGE!
I just ate some of his peaches and they are the BEST!

It seems I have transferred my love of peaches to my daughter.
A few days ago I cut some peaches for us to snack on and she kept saying more
until we had eaten 5 peaches in one sitting.
We can't wait for Peach Days!

By the way, we are huge fans of the Canadian Harmony variety.
The Canadians did something right I guess!

Report on August

We did a lot of fun things in August even though it takes us a
long time to get going and get out the door.
I am not used to this 2 kid thing!
We are lucky to have the three of us ready by noon! Sad, huh?

We did venture out to Thanksgiving Point with some friends.
The kids had a great time petting the animals, riding the wagon, and
playing in the water by Noah's Ark.

Ellie, Ashley, McKayla, Jaden, & Rylee

I also wanted to show you just how fast my baby is growing.
At church he is bigger than the three month old babies, and he is only 7 wks.
Here is a nice shot of his back fat.

Here is Ryan with his Uncle Ryan.
Can you read the shirt?
It says "If you think I'm cute, you should see my uncle!"

Our ward hosted a Daddy-Daughter Date.
Ellie was so excited to get dressed up for the 70's theme and go...
but not as excited as Jud was, obviously.

Some of the other fathers kept their kids away from Jud!

Here is Ryan trying out some of the dress ups too!

We took a fun trip to the park with Lisa, Michelle, and Aiden.
Here are the kids swinging.

Ryan had his first swing on a big swing with sissy's help!
Aiden is a big boy now and can swing himself.

Here is an adorable shot of my boy.
Is he the cutest or what?

Photoshoot

My friend Whitney did a little photoshoot with my cute kids! She did an awesome job and was way more patient than a studio would have been. Thanks Whit!
Here is some of her work!

A busy month...

We had a busy, but GREAT July!
Having a new baby at home is so great, but challenging.
Ryan is growing up so fast, and Ellie seems so much older now that we have a baby in the house.
Our little family feels more like a family with 4!
Ryan has been a good baby except for about the last week when we found out that he is allergic to my milk.
No worries, you know me and my alternative medicine.
We took him in for accupuncture and ZD treated him.
He should be better by 7pm tonight!
I can't wait...it breaks my heart to see him fussy!
Getting up at night is hard, but worth it!
Here are some photos of Ryan in this last month.
He is already getting cheeks!

Ellie really has been a lifesaver for me this month.
She is almost always willing to run and grab a diaper or burp cloth for me.
We have not had too many issues with her being jealous.
Just a few times she wants me to take care of her FIRST!
She has had a ton of fun this month.
A couple of trips to Shady, a few nights at Grandma & Papa's house (when Jud went to scout camp), a baseball game, a new brother to play with and love, and lots more fun!
Here is the proof!

One more funny thing that I finally got on video.
Kind of hard to hear, but very worth it!
