Canaan is 3 months!

You are growing!!!!

My wonderful baby boy you sleep through the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You still coo while you sleep. 

You are developing such a personality and I love it.

 You take a 3 hour nap and a 2 hour nap... maybe that explains all the growing you are doing.

 You love this swing and always look at the birds moving or yourself in the mirror...

We find out your weight next week and I bet you are close to double your birth size.

 You love to suck your hands... not a pacifier.

 You are so strong. You have that head holding up thing mastered.

 This is a good smile... you have some even more amazing smiles and smile the most on your downstairs changing table.

 All that sucking... you gave yourself a hickey.

We love you to death sweet baby Canaan... my handsome boy!!!!!!!

And I mean it... (mostly)...

I'm half way through reading a book called

One Thousand Gifts... it's about a journey to learn the key to life and really seeing God and his blessings for you by being thankful... truly grateful for everything around you... both the good and the bad... I love what I am learning through it.

I had made this last year... I need this reminder daily... I'm an orderly person by nature... so I'm practicing acceptance of 3 small children who love to make messes...

 This is just cute... she has had some interesting outfits these days...

 Popsicle face!

 Getting wet while fully clothed...

In my mind this looked a lot messier... that's why I need the sign.

Boulder trip...

Last weekend we went to Boulder...

we hadn't visited in over a year... too long.

We stayed with our dear friends the Ryans.

Met them in birthing class with our firsts.

We both have 3 kiddos now:)

 I their back yard... guess who enjoyed it most?

 Our beloved cornerstone church...

felt like home...

and Andrea is the best... our family loves her.

 Ohana was especially social this day... she gave so many hugs to a lot of people...

little charmer sweet girl.

 Some girl time is in the future... I can feel it and am excited for it!

 Meal times... they loved all sitting "next to each other"!

Play time at the Dolenc house. I feel like I'm on vacation whenever we are at their house. It's beautiful and peaceful even with 6 kids around! Miss them TONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We saw many other friends... no photos but it was truly a special time.

First Day of Pre K!

My first born had another first day of school.

Pre K this year- three days per week.

 He normally doesn't like photos much but today was special

 Of course his sister had to bomb at least one. 

She wanted to stay in his class.

He said his favorite part of school today was snack time!
