Say Cheese

So here's pictures from today's photo shoot. If you don't know I went back to work last Wednesday, it wasn't as bad as I imagined. We found Royce a great lady to care for her, and she get's lots of attention. PLUS her prices are cheaper than anywhere else we looked. Only $20 a day, and we're not skimping on her care either.

Josh's grandpa died last weekend and we went to the funeral this past Friday. He had a huge turn out, he was a very well liked and admirable man. Other than that Josh and I are just going on with our daily lives... work, school and KIDS! Now we have 4! Yikes, but it's quite easy actually.

Military Family

My youngset brother, Jordan, just graduated from Coast Guard basic training in Cape May, NJ. This marks the last of the kids to complete military training. I graduated Air Force and had a 5 year long career. My brother Logan is a coast guard reservists out of Westport, Wa. And Jordan (pictured above) has joined active duty Coast Guard as an electrician. He hopes to get stationed on an ice breaker in the artic. Congrats Jordan! Now you can sigh in relief that it's finally over. It's tough but in the end you're glad you stuck it out and can be able to say, I did that, I finished.

Joy

Yay, I'm 2 months old and just cooing and talking all the time!




I know this picture is kind of random in the mist of all the random baby shots. But today we went to Grandpa Wall's funeral in Vernal. We were able to take the kids with us, which was nice. Dallen has a glare in his eyes that's why he looks so mad!


After her sink bath with her duck towel

Royce getting washed in the sink because she peed all over herself ... and the blanket! I just couldn't get that diaper on fast enough.

Darling Baby

Nonnie's Visit

I love this picture above

Such a pretty little girl

What a week...

It's weird that babies sleep with their hands over their heads- but this is when I know she's really asleep.


It just seems like everything is going wrong lately. I need something good to happen so I don't think I'm cursed. Anyway, one of those 'bad' things was that our computer died. Fortunately we had backed up the pictures with an external hard drive. But considering school starts tomorrow for me and I have an online class- I can't go without a computer, so we went and got a new one. And we went with the cheapest one we could find because we have determined that all our computers have died within a year and a half from buying them so why pay more?!

Smiles

Doesn't this just make your heart melt?

Happy 33 Birthday Josh!

Yesterday Josh turned 33! We had a low key celebration just with us and Royce. He took the day off work and we went and saw G.I. Joe (his choice) then I let him take a nap while I watched Royce, while he was sleeping I made him a birthday cake- because no birthday is complete without a birthday cake. Neither of us were hungry after all the popcorn and treats from the movie so we skipped going to Outback and decided we would go later this week.



I got job him a 16g Ipod touch back in May because he was too anxious to wait until his actual birthday! I also got him some new clothes and a pair of new Converse because he is a shoe whore when it comes to converse shoes.

I return to work in exactly 2 weeks. We have an interview later today for a daycare provider on base- I hope I get good vibes from her because I need to find Royce awesome care and fast.

Weekend Pics

We had the kids this weekend. Dallen stayed an extra week without the girls and it was awesome having him here. I signed him up for geocaching day camp all last week, we went to the movies, hung out and played video games... made our own pizzas.


Royce is starting to smile soo much more and I know it isn't gas smiles because she will start smiling when I talk to her and kiss her all over. Her smiles are sooo cute, it's hard to get a good picture because by the time I grab the camera she's done smiling. I will keep trying though!

Royce is a very calm and relaxed baby if you can't tell by this picture... this is how she is most of the time and only cries when she is hungry or wants to be held... how easy is that?!? :)
Dallen is a very proud big brother! Always asking to hold her, feed her or put her to bed. I had to explain to him that she doesn't have a set bedtime and it would do no good right now putting her to bed. He said he wishes she was older so he could cuddle with her in his bed... WOW, I was so shocked I love it!

This is at Layton Park, one of the best parks I've been to in Utah. We went right before taking the kids home tonight.
Poor Josh, we're both lacking quite a bit of sleep.

Look how big she is getting! She is losing that "newborn" look and starting to look like a real baby!
I have my 6 week post pregnancy check up tomorrow. Can't believe its been just about 6 weeks and I feel great, most the time I don't even feel like I was ever pregnant or had a baby... we're going to have at least 1 more but I need to wait for like 3 years because we can't afford 2 kids in diapers and daycare! My mom comes next Monday, I'm so excited for Royce to meet Nonnie and Papa.

Strawberries

She makes funny faces

Royce's teddy bear (Mishka)
Haha- okay so she's still working on holding her head up so when I prop her up she has some difficulty sometimes she ends up just plopping right over
Mishka is a great family dog- and quite obedient if I may add. I think Royce and Mish will be best friends as they grow up together.
