COUSINS

We went to Watford City to meet up with Papa to take Grammie back home & convinced my sister & family to meet us there (it didn't take much convincing as they hadn't met Sidney yet)
Here are all the grandkids together with Papa & Grammie - check out Hope's pose & Prestyn screaming!! So funny.

Anthony was a little flirt with me

Charlie - ever the baby snuggler - told his mom that they could have one more as long as they can skip ages 2-4 :)

Alex got a snuggle in but wasn't too sure (or overly impressed)

Hope was completely smitten with her new baby girl cousin - she wanted to hold her the entire time we were there!! So sweet!!!

After dinner we went to the park (they have an AMAZING park in Watford - I'll be stopping there again) Here are all the cousins together again.
Cayden 4, Anthony 11 months, Hope 5, Prestyn 22 months, Alexander 3, Charlie 12, Sidney 2 weeks.

Auntie Steph was in love too.

And of course a pic of Missy Carin with me!!

BATHTIME!

Okay, so I had to do it.
1) it saves on the mess and time
2) my mom has pics of us taking baths together when we were little so I had to do it to my kids too

VBS

We put Cayden in VBS this week, he went from 5:30-8:30pm. The first night I took him to drop off thinking, "I'm his mom, he'll need ME because he'll be scared". We walked in holding hands & I'm trying not to cry...meanwhile he's strutting his stuff saying "this is gonna be awesome"
He did great, loved every night & came home telling us stories.
On the last night they did a little concert singing the songs they had learned & did a slideshow of pictures from the week. At first Cayden refused to go up, but one of his teachers told him she'd go up with him & after that he sang his heart out.
Prestyn was dancing in the aisle & wanted to go up with Cayden so bad, so for the last song the teacher brought Prestyn up too. He stood up there and shook his bootie to the music. It was cute!
I'm thankful we have these programs here where my kids can go and have fun, and learn about God. How blessed are we to have that freedom!! :)

Meeting Grammie & Papa

Well Sidney finally got to meet her Grammie & Papa. They came so mom could stay & help out when Justyn went back for his first shift at work. Grammie was ooohing & ahhing over her new granddaughter.

Papa snuggled her right up & took a nap. He thought she was pretty cute too - but he didn't love the bow! (teehee)

Miss Sidney ~ she had to wear the big bow/headband for papa - just because he loves them so much!!

8 YEARS!!

8 years ago I married the love of my life.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JUSTYN!
I LOVE YOU!!!

It'll be 11 years ago in August since we met, and what a wonderful 11 years we've had together.

I'm so thankful for a loving husband who takes such great care of me, but also a wonderful man who is devoted to his family. It makes me love him even more seeing him love our children.

Thanks for being so amazing hun!!

The one who has my heart!!

This is my favorite picture from our wedding!!!

We got married on my dad's 50th birthday (that's him in the middle with his 2 brothers)

Happy Birthday Dad!!

SNEAK PEEK!!

We had our family photoshoot with Jasmine Sargent Photography on Sunday.

She took some pics of the boys alone.

The 3 (yes...how wierd is that I said 3) kids together.

Our family together.

And then a gazillion pictures of Miss Sidney.

Jasmine is an amazing photographer & was so patient and sweet.

She was a pleasure to work with.

She gave us this sneak peek picture of our little lady.

I'm so excited to see the rest.

Family Fun!

We decided to have some fun as a family on Saturday. After debating what to do we decided to head to Minot to the zoo there. Miss Sidney was 1 week old, and I was a little curious how well she'd travel, and she did great. So did the boys, they were so excited to go to the zoo.

Here's our little penguins.

Cayden, Prestyn and Daddy


After the zoo we went to TL to see Nana and Papa. Papa hadn't got to meet Sidney yet. Great Grandma Dee and Great Grandma Geigle also came over to see her. It was a nice evening.

Papa and Nana were kinda smushy over their new granddaughter!! So FUN!
