New Sister-in-Law

So Corley got Married this past weekend...which I still need to do pics for that. But I am a little behind, and suprised I did Father's Day on the day!! Anyways I threw her a shower and I got an AMAZING Recipe for some Delish Cupcakes...(if you want to try them check it out Here) They are WAY WAY better than they seem. I was a Little Reluctant about them, but they are probably my one of my Favorites now. So enjoy and Welcome Arica to our Crazy Family. Love you lots!

Happy Daddy Day!!

Today was such a fun MONUMENTAL day. Jake sang for the first time in Sacrament Meeting. It was so fun to see him so Excited to go up and sing. He kept asking me "is it time for me to sing yet?" Then when the time came he walked right up, turned around so we couldn't see his face, and didn't sing. But it made my day, he was so stinking cute it made up for the lack of song! Sophie had a little treat, and a card she colored in Nursery. And has been saying Happy Father's Day, which by the way is just about the cutest thing!!

We got Charlie (and Me) a bike for Father's day this Year!! Only because He loves riding bikes, and so we thought we would make it a family thing. As a side note, my bike was like a present for him too since I don't LOVE riding. But I can go with him. We went on a ride today during a break from the RAIN...the kids Loved it. Jake rides his bike with us and got a kick out of us riding our bikes with him! So all in all it was a GREAT day!! Love it, Love my kids, and MOST of all today We LOVE our DADDYS!!

Love MY Kids

Jake is becoming a Boy, he is running away from that Toddler stage so fast I don't think that I will ever catch him. He is so fun to have around. Some of his new favorite things are correcting mom, Playing with Grandpa, and trying to escape outside and ride his bike (rain or shine). He is so excited I signed him up for Soccer. He asks me everyday if he gets to go, mind you we still have a couple weeks... He is learning to recognize his numbers, and learning about time. The funniest is when he asks when we are leaving and I tell him what time. He will quite literally plop himself down in front of the Microwave and Wait until it is time to go...And gets frustrated with me if I am running a little behind. It is so cute though. I love that he is learning so much, and excited to start school. I hope he gets excited when the time actually comes. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this BOY!
Sophie is starting to turn into such a beautiful little girl, not that she hasn't been. I just cannot believe that he is growing up so fast. It is so fun to see her want to play with all the big kids, and feels so left out when she can't. She loves to look pretty, she loves to get her hair done. She loves to try new things, and loves climbing up to the slides at the park on probably the most dangerous ones she can. Only because her brother does. I love that she looks up to him so much. She loves to be outside, and will try just about anything to get there. She has definitely hit her terrible 2's by throwing such good tantrums. I think that she has beat out Jake in that department. I love this Girl and cannot wait to see what a great little Lady she is going to become.

MONKEY: Crazy, goofy, silly, playful, happy, and Loves BANANAS...He is such a darling little Kid!! He has some of the BEST pulled faces. He is so happy, and has really enjoyed eating semi-real food. He has such a good appetite, and eats & eats!! He is growing up so big, and learning New things EVERYDAY! I really am in shock that he is 7 months already!! WOW how time flies!! He is 18 lbs, and my arms are definitely feeling the weight lately. He is starting to get up on his knees, and scooting everywhere. He loves to be on the floor to explore everything. He has such a good demeanor, and makes me so happy!! His Brother and Sister just love his GUTS, so do his Mom and Dad. I don't know what we would do without this little DUDE!!
