9.11

“One of the lessons of 9-11 is that evil is real and so is courage.” -George W Bush

“At the moment American democracy was under attack our citizens defied their captors by holding a vote. The choice they made would cost them their lives. And they knew it. Many passengers called their loved ones to say good-bye. Then hung up to perform their final act.” -George W Bush

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Labor Day weekend!

We had wedding festivities all weekend!! Jared's sister got married on Saturday and we were all in the wedding! Finn didn't want to cooperate at the rehearsal but did pretty good during the wedding!I didn't hear him crying so I was happy with that. Here are a few pictures from before the wedding!

Kathryn and Finn. Finn has started rubbing his lip when he is nervous for some reason.

Jared and Finn

Finn

The family minus Wells. She wasn't in the wedding and my Mom brought her.

Finn with Caroline

You can tell that Finn wasn't very thrilled with being in the wedding. Jared had to bribe him during the wedding with fruit snacks in his pocket! The kids had so much fun dancing at the reception! I didn't take pictures because I was busy dancing with them! 

Random...

This is not my new blog design! I have been downstairs on my computer today because we had the house exterminated! I started playing around with my blog and it became addicting! I just wish I could figure out how to center my header picture! Any suggestions??

We are going to be super busy this weekend with wedding stuff. Jared's sister is getting married tomorrow and Finn is in the wedding{along with me and Jared}. Should be interesting! 

Have a great weekend!

Loving...

I am so in LOVE with my iPhone, iPad, and my iMac! I don't know why I haven't converted over to apple products before! People kept trying to tell me but I just didn't listen! 

Pinterest is one of my new fav things! Addicting and great for when I find things online that I want to remember, but I know with my brain these days I can't remember anything! Plus you find all kinds of great ideas from DIY projects to cute outfit ideas!! If you want to join I can invite you! Just send me a message! Here is an outfit I pinned!!

Over night trips to the mountains with Jared! 

and staying in this awesome place!

Can't get enough of these two...

I can't stop wearing this super cute necklace I ordered from Etsy!

I am LOVING these cute boots and can't wait to start wearing them!!

This tractor is one of the best things we have bought for Finn. It is super fast and the battery last a really long time! Finn, Harper, and Sawyer all ride on this thing all the time! If you are wanting to buy something for your kids I highly recommend this JD tractor! 

LOVING the new fall catalog from Thirty One! Go check out the catalog on my website! Check out the deals in September!!

Shelli's ThirtyOne page

I soo loved Harper's first dance recital! She did so good and was the youngest in the class! 

Loved spending time with Jared and Finn at the monster truck race! Even though it rained and we left early!! 

Still loving all the pictures Melissa took of our family in Jared's grandparents fields! If you are from this area she is amazing and super sweet!!

Few more pictures from my iPhone..just because!!

I am REALLY lovin' that it is almost FALL!!!! I have started buying the kids some cute {cooler weather} clothes!! Any excuse to buy clothes for anyone is awesome! 

 

Totally in love with all the new bows I got from Mococreations! 

Check out her shop and stock up for Fall!

Make sure you keep checking back for a NEW blog makeover! I am super excited to get back into the blogging world!!

First...

Wells has her FIRST tooth and almost has the second one!

I am so sad because this may be my last gummy smile. She also has a cold in her eye and it just breaks my heart. I thought she had a blocked tear duct but her Dr said it was a cold. Weird! She has antibiotic drops for it.

We had sweet potato fries for the FIRST time yesterday! They were SO good. I tossed them in butter and brown sugar. Yummy!

I gave Finn a haircut for the FIRST time. I have been wanting to do this for a long time but haven't been brave enough yet. I decided yesterday it was time for me to start. It is so much easier just to throw him on the counter and cut it then trying to get over to Mindi's house to cut it. Mindi has to fade a few spots but I think I will get the hang of it! I am going to start cutting Jared's hair to! He's not thrilled!

Everyone have a safe and happy 4th!

6 Months!

Miss Wells is 6 MONTHS! I can't believe how fast these 6 months have gone by. With Finn I was so ready for him to sit up, crawl, and all the other fun things. With Wells I guess I don't want her to grow up so I don't push those things! She is sitting up, not great but she does sit for awhile. She rolls all over the place and she will probably be crawling before long. She wants to grab everything in reach and almost has her first tooth!

She wakes up about 8 every morning and wants to eat. She is eating 3 meals a day and LOVES to eat!! She eats oatmeal/fruit for breakfast, fruit/veg for lunch, and cereal/veg for supper. I have been trying to give her a cup and she will drink a few sips but she is not sure what to do with it yet!

She is the sweetest thing and for the most part is happy. She doesn't like to be alone and as long as you are in the same room as her she is ok. If you leave the room she is in she will start to cry! She likes to be on the go! If she stays around the house for to long she starts getting fussy! Ha! If we are in the car seat or stroller she is perfectly happy.

I'm constantly on the go these days, changing diapers, feeding kids, pumping, cleaning, feeding again, over and over! I am feeling so overwhelmed these days! I love them both so much but man some days are soo hard! I know every Mom has these days where they want to pull there hair out, or I hope anyway! I will be missing these days when they are older and want nothing to do with me!!
