Happy baby

Bryce is growing so fast. He started smiling last month. He is a very happy baby that loves to be held and cuddled. I wish I could sit and hold him all day long and probably would if I didn't have two others that need me. I love my boys!

Finished project

With a little help and a lot of encouragement from a great friend I finally finished a knitting project. I love the way it turned out. I meant to make it for Bryce but it actually fits Brock better. Next project a binki attachment.

"Look mom it's Joseph Smith"

I gave the boys some fudge pops and after wiping up some of the mess Brekken discovered this.


Do you see it? It totally looks like him. I died laughing when Brekken told me, "look mom its Joseph Smith." O.K. so it looks like a profile of a man with a beard right.


Oh how I HATE sticky children. But they are pretty cute.

strawberry picking

Last week we went to a farm just 15 minutes outside of town to do some strawberry picking. Brekken was so excited about finding "the best ones". Brock had fun also stepping on the strawberry plants. Arrrg! He is so fast. Bryce and mom didn't do a whole lot of picking. He was upset that he was woken up from a good nap. The strawberries were delicious and I made jam with my friend Leslie Terry with most of it. My batch didn't turn out but it is some great tasting syrup to go on pancakes and ice cream. I can't wait for raspberries.

My new addiction

Yes that is my knitting. I am officially a grandma. You can laugh if you want but I love it! My very talented friend here in Lincoln got me hooked. She knits these amazing wool sweaters that would probably cost you hundreds of dollars. They are beautiful and I want to someday be able to make them as well. for know I will be sticking with scarves.

8 years of Bliss

Today we celebrated our 8th year anniversary. I can't believe it has been that long. Time really does seem to fly by. Burr took me to a nice restaurant in down town Lincoln called Dish. It was so much fun to get dressed up and eat somewhere fancy. Our great friend Celeste watched Brekken and Brock but we took Baby Brice along. Burr I love you so much! You are my rock and best friend. Thank you for a wonderful 8 years.

Milk Pits

So I'm not very good at covering up while breast feeding and with little boys in the house I really should be more modest. Brekken has been very curious about what I am doing and why I ask him to go away for a little bit while Bryce has some alone time with mom. One morning he woke up and came into the our bedroom while I was nursing. He hopped right onto the bed and was just so curious. This is our conversation...

Brekk: Mom what are you doing?
Me: I'm feeding baby Bryce
Brekk: Your feeding him out of there?
Me: Yes he eats from mommy, thats how he gets his milk.
Brekk: Mom I have milk pits too, see (he lifts up his shirt and points to his nipples), I have milk too, to feed the baby.

I had to look away so I wouldn't laugh. Seriously I need to be more discrete.
