"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 4: 6-9

Splish, Splash

Carson and Tanner's first bath together! Tanner wasn't so sure, but Carson thought it was the best! We had to keep reminding Carson not to splash his baby brother! :)

Science Center

I am so grateful to our family and friends for all of their help with Carson over the past few weeks. It's so much fun for Carson to get out and do things Mommy just can't take him to do right now. This week Aunt Sharon and Michael took Carson to the Science Center. Sharon was so sweet to take my camera and capture Carson having a blast. Carson played with all sorts of things!
His favorite seemed to be working on the car. I think these photos of him are so cute! Maybe we have a future mechanic??

Aunt Erica & Benson come to visit!

Aunt Erica planned a special June trip from Arizona so that she could spend time with us after baby Tanner was born. She flew in on a Friday night, and after only being in town for a few hours, she was over at our house to get her hands on Tanner!
Benson came with Aunt Erica the next day to play! We had so much fun while they were here! Aunt Erica treated us WAY too much. She made us dinner, helped with the boys, and brought me lots of coffee and other yummy treats! Our favorite times while they were here were just hanging out at home and playing. Carson showed Benson his fun toys on the porch, and Aunt Erica got to steal lots of snuggles with Tanner. One day we visited storytime, and I was so thankful Erica was with us! It was my first outing alone with both boys and man was it eventful! :)
We miss Uncle Scott, Aunt Erica, and Benson SOOO much, but cherish our times and memories we make when they visit. Thank you for such a fun couple of weeks!!

Park fun

Bear Lake Elementary School is just down the street from where we live. We love taking walks, when the weather is nice, and letting Carson play on the school playground. Today Daddy taught Carson how to balance and walk on the balance beam.
He quickly picked up on how to balance and did these steps all by himself!
Tanner is a sleepy little baby, even when we visit the playground, but I'm sure that will change real soon!
Mommy and her 2 boys!

First Family Outing

Our first family outing was to Cranes Roost Park. We (more like Mommy) was getting a little stir crazy in the house all the time, so we ventured out for some fresh air.
We got out the double stroller for the first time with our 2 kiddos. It was fun pushing them both around the lake.
We came upon the fountain light show. Carson was totally amazed!
We grabbed some dinner and had a little picnic. What a fun first outing!

Pediatrician Visit

Tanner had his first Pediatrician visit today. He did great in the car to and from the doctor's office. He has lost a little bit of weight but is doing good. We feel so blessed to have a healthy baby!

Tanner's first bath

It's always scary when you give your newborn a bath for the first time! It's more like a sponge bath since there are so many things you can't get wet, or have to be careful with. Tanner did a great job, just cried for a little. My mom has been staying with us for the past few days so it was nice to have an extra pair of hands around to help with this task.
