Happy 3rd Birthday Pookie!

My little princess almost didn't make it. They couldn't get her to breath and she wouldn't pink up. I called Dean who was on the road with Adam moving my mothers things here from Utah to Pray! I stood watch at the nursery window while Travis stayed with Ashley. When we didn't come back for an hour Ashley started panicking. I finally was able to get over there once they gave the thumbs up and tell my baby that her baby girl was going to be alright and that she would be in as soon as they got her wrapped up. Our little Eden Rae is truly a blessing from God.
Her first day home. What an angel. I hope I never miss a day in the life of this angel. She is my blonde haired, blue eyed sweetie pie. And she is my biggest cheerleader.


Papa and his Pookie Pie. You know...."Papa Loves Pookie Pies!" That's what he's told her since she was born and she counts on him to tell her that. They have a very special relationship that I know Dean cherishes.


Eden's 1st birthday. She had a Balloon that was bigger than her and she kept telling Dora to stay down. I think that was the highlight of the day.



I'm this many Gram!! My 2 year old princess's birthday. What a sweetie she was at 2....




And today, I'm 3 Gram. Yesterday I put her in a dress. And about 10 minutes later she came running into the kitchen to tell me " Look Gram, my dress has pockets." I told her it was because she was 3 and big girls get pockets on their dresses. So she wanted to run in and tell Oma (My Mom) , " Oma, my dress has 3 yr old pockets. Isn't it wonderful!"
Yes Eden it's wonderful and the great things that you do are wonderful too. Papa and I just laugh at some of the wonderful things that come out of your mouth. You love to have dance parties. You love to read books with us. You love to draw pictures and yesterday you used your very first pair of scissors. You love to play with Papa on the swingset. You LOVE dinosaurs. You are a very picky eater these days. And you fill your Grandma and Papa's hearts with tons of love and joy everyday. We miss you when you're gone over the weekends. Grandpa hurries home so that he can have Pookie time. You are a pure joy and we're blessed that God gave you to us. Keep growing princess, we love you.

Family Pics

We've gotten really blessed this summer. Jullians mom is letting him spend all summer with Travis and Ashley. So I get to have my boy with me all week. He is growing up to be such a special young man. He helps with Cove and Eden, he offers to help make breakfast or lunch. This morning he even told me to sit down and he'd make Uma's breakfast. (That's my mom). He wanted a snuggle pic with Cove so I hurried and grabbed the camera.
Happy Father's day daddy!! Dean and his princess Doodle. Ashley tried to tell Eden that Dean was her daddy but Eden yelled and got defensive saying " no he's not! He's MY PAPA!"

We bought a new teeter totter for Eden's birthday. It has 3 places to sit and she and Cove loved it.


Evan however wasn't quite as sure.




Evan loves to splash and get wet. He's almost 1 .




Ahhhh... the cousins and best buds together.






Here's a new pic of Papa and his boys. Can't believe how quick they're growing!




Dean and his mini me Layton!







Brother Chuck and Adam during Grad Sunday. Adam was such a good sport with Chuck razzin' him.








Ok, seriously this was a piece of corn we husked the other day. Just added this in for the heck of it.
