Splish Splash

We took the kids to the free splash park in Rexburg on Monday with a couple of my sisters and their kids. My kids LOVED it! It was great. The pictures speak for themselves so enjoy!

This was where Saydi spent the majority of her time. She didn't like the big slides!

Miss snagged this picture and man oh man, do I love it! It is the perfect summary of Weston's day. He loved every minute.

Saydi went down the slide twice with daddy coaxing her down. Or pushing her down. Whichever you want to call it.

This picture melts my heart. Saydi loves her daddy. And the feeling is mutual.

Buddies!

On our way out we stopped at the carousel and let the kids go for a ride. Saydi didn't want to sit on her horse.

But then daddy snuck her up there when it got going and she loved it. The cuteness was too much to handle! There's nothing better then watching your kids experience things for the first time and seeing how much fun they have.

Where was Jonas most of the time you ask? In here. =)

And I chopped my long, unhealthy hair off to help me enjoy the summer festivities more. So far, so good.

Facts and Fotos

I have so many pictures of Jonas that I just love and even though I should probably not post every last one of them I'm going to do basically just that! He's just too cute for me not to. So here are pictures and some of the things we've been finding out about our newest addition.

Jonas is a really good baby. He definitely has his moments but he is very easy going. He likes to be held all the time and will do good on his own only if he can see or smell mommy. He spits up a ton like Weston did which makes for lots of messes. Saydi was the victim of one of his incidents and she said, "Jonas spilled! Get da wipes, get da wipes!"

He goes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours at night and during the day so we still don't have much of a set schedule since I never know which one he's going to prefer. But he is getting better at having long periods of time where he's awake and content which we all love. Weston and Saydi love him so much. They always want to hold him and I swear Saydi gives him kisses about 20 times a day. We love our little squirmy guy!

This picture makes him look so chubby! He is about nine pounds already and we love that he's so healthy looking.

My flash made Mark and Jonas squint and make practically the same face. Ha! Love it.

My sister, Sarah made this onesie for Jonas. Adorable.

He laid on the couch and slept like this for about 10 minutes one day while I was trying to load the other two up in the car. Patiently waiting his turn.

He loves to put his hands by his face. I still have to swaddle him tight if I want him to stay asleep and not hit himself. When he gets his hands out though it usually results in some cheek squishage like this picture shows.

Life with three kids is definitely an adjustment but has been easier for me then when I went from one to two. I've been so grateful for Jonas and the things he's taught me already. I've definitely been less anal about my house and whether it's spotless or not. Just not possible with three kids three and under! And yet we still survive despite dishes in the sink. =)

Summer and Stuff

Well, summer is officially here which means I'm officially grumpy. I know, I know. I'm a weirdo. But summer is most definitely my least favorite season. I definitely do enjoy all the fun things you get to do, but doing them in ridiculous heat with sweat dripping from every orifice does not a fun time make...in my book at least. So to combat my dislike for heat and also my semi comatose state from being up with Jonas and then getting up with kids now that Mark is back to work, we have been trying to fill our days with summer "fun". Doing things like:

Holding our sweet baby Jonas (and sometimes smothering him a little too much!)

Doing some kind of cheer? "G-O, Weston go!"

Swimming. And looking adorable while doing so.

Going for walks. Especially to the park.

Enjoying the rare gloomy days and rain that leave beautiful rainbows like this one in our back yard.

And just generally being cute and happy!
