Andrew is ONE month

Andrew turned one month old on July 29th. He is growing like a weed!! He weighed in at 11 lbs 6 oz and was 22.5 inches long.

He is starting to smile...

He likes to play with his tongue and often sticks it out...
And he LOVES his big brother, and Tyler loves him too!!
We are LOVING having this little guy in our home!! He has also started to figure out how his voice works and will let out little squawks once in a while.
He sleeps well at night too which is good for me because I might go crazy if I didn't get sleep. I think Heavenly Father knew that I needed a good baby so he sent Andrew!! He is a great baby!

Best friends

Tyler and Andrew are starting to get use to having each other around! Tyler is pretty good at snuggling with Andrew and doesn't try to push him away any more.

They even fell asleep snuggling!

Andrew ready to celebrate his first holiday

On the way home from grandma Corrine's Andrew was a little on the hungry side and got upset when we put him in the car. We were trying to tell him we would be home soon and get him to calm down but that wasn't working too well. When we were about half way home he calmed down and we were not real sure why until we got home. This is how I found him...

He LOVES to get his fingers and suck on them. He got it really good this time!!

Andrew Michael

This is a picture taken June 19, 2020 ten days before Andrew was born.

Andrew Michael joined our family on June 29, 2010. He weighed 9lbs 1oz and was 21.5 in long.

This is the first time I got to hold him after they cleaned him up.

We are LOVING having this little guy in our home!! He is so precious.

Tyler's SEVEN!!!

Tyler turned SEVEN on memorial day. It is hard for me to believe that he is seven already!! We had a fun Fiesta (meaning we ate tacos for lunch!) and water fight with family.

Tyler loves to read the books about "Skippyjon Jones". If you haven't read them they are REALLY cute. They are about a Siamese cat that thinks he is a chihuahua and the adventures he has in Mexico.

Here is the birthday boy!!
Mike with his water rocket. We usually just get water guns for the kids but I saw these at the dollar store and couldn't resist! They were a huge hit!!

Ethan, Kaitlin, Breanna and Rachel in the water fight.

Tyler and Mike. Mike was SOAKING wet from the water fight. I think he enjoys it as much, if not more then the kids!!

Breanna squirting her water cannon and getting hit.

We had a pinata of "Alfredo Buzzito, the Bumblebeeto Bandito"! You have to read the book!!

Sadie was not real sure about the pinata, but she took a turn at "attacking" it too.

All the kiddos at the party. We had a great time celebrating with Tyler!! I got a little tired and probably would have done more with the party if I wasn't eight months pregnant but I think everyone had a good time!!

Tyler

On March 22 I went down to Tyler's school for the morning. It was a lot of fun! I got to see what they do for therapy and what other fun activities they do there. I also got to read books with him for a little while. It was great fun to see him at school and how the teachers and therapists interact with him. He enjoys school SO much and I can see why, they are great down there!!

And look at that belly!! It is really starting to pop out there now!!

Also in March it was such a nice day one Saturday and Mike was out working so Tyler and I decided to go for a walk. This is Tyler all set to go with the new hat that grandma Linda bought him when we were in St George. We had a good time and it was nice to get out in the fresh air and enjoy a walk around the park near our house.

Roses

I often give Mike a hard time about never buying me flowers. What girl doesn't want flowers once-in-a-while!?! So he has decided to plant a rose garden on the side of our house. One of them shot out this beautiful blossom Tuesday.

I am not sure it counts as getting me flowers, but I think it is really pretty!! And it smells great!

Sewing projects

I have been working on a few sewing projects, trying to get things ready for the new baby to come. Here is a quilt that I made.

And here are the bumper pads that I made. This project was a PAIN in my backside!! I thought it would be relatively simple. All I was doing was making a slip cover to go over bumper pads from when Tyler was a baby. Well my measurements turned out to be wrong THREE times, it must be the pregnancy messing with my math abilities or something! I had to unpick these three times. I decided to put it together one square at a time so I would get it right. Then I got sick of them and put them away for about three weeks. I got them out again this week and FINALLY finished them on Tuesday. I am SOOO glad that it is done and I think they turned out really cute!! They look great in the room!!

We are getting closer to having things ready although I am not sure we will ever be totally ready for the new addition to our family!
