January update

 Cavin's new favorite thing is daddy's head phones!

 Stella turned 2 months and now is in love with her toy arch!

 Stella will only take catnaps, unless we put her in our bed with all the covers then she'll sleep for hours!

 Anna gave Stella this bracelet and wears it everyday!

 This girl's smile is the best!! with those chubby checks!

Cavin is 20 months old

Insurer has changed in the last couple of months, he is a great big brother! His vocabulary has increased dramatically. He knows all of his body parts, and even starting to learn to count of course now he wants two of everything!! He is now sleeping in his toddler bed and has even gone potty on the big boy potty a couple of times! And yesterday he got his first haircut he looks so much older and more handsome every day!! I'm a little worried about his love for the bike he could ride that bike day night rain or shine just about anytime anywhere he loves to ride his bike. He is really good at sharing except when it comes to his bike that is his favorite! Some of my favorite new words of his are, I love you and pistachio and sister which doesn't seem to be a hard words but that S is really hard for him but it's so cute! He really is a good talker he impresses me and his dad every day.
He loves to jump in tomorrow and of course ride his bike, and he still climbs on and in every thing he can climb in and out of his crib that is why we had to take it away he can climb over the baby gate he can climb onto the tall barstools he can climb on the table he can get up on the counters he climbs up on the washing machine he can climb on anything it is really scary and you have to watch him all the time!

For Christmas we got him some tools hammer and drill and he loves to fix his bike and pretty much everything with his tools!

Now that's Stella is talking and smiling more he really likes to talk to her and smile at her and then when she smiles back he just laughs and thinks it's so funny. He likes to share his toys with her and swing her in the swing lay by her under her toy arch and he even likes to hold her and give her kisses.
He really likes to read! mom and dad read to him and he loves to listen to him self read books he always has to take a book with him to bed and he always wakes up reading books.
We read the book of Mormon to him every night so we always find him with the Book of Mormon in his bed for his nap or at nighttime he loves reading it and holding it in his bed. ( makes me happy!)
Cavin is a really good boy and we love him to pieces he has started a new thing of hitting which is hard to deal with but overall he is great! He doesn't really have too many other bad habits, sometimes he gets upset if I don't give him enough candy or don't ride bikes long enough outside in the freezing cold!

Stella is 2 months old

I am so excited to have a sweet little baby girl in our family she has brought so much joy and happiness to not only her mom and dad but To Cavin to see him interact with her is so sweet.  We went to the doctor yesterday and Stella got her two month shots Cavin give her blanket and her Binky because she was crying so sweet that he is so concerned for her! He doesn't pay attention to it sometimes and I just does something that most the time he always wants to know where baby Stella and want to talk to her and hold her hand he's getting really good about being soft with her and talking to her but not jumping on her.
Being a mom of two has different challenges but also so many awesome blessing I love these two kids they sure are different in personalities already! Stella is a sleeper she falls asleep easy she sleeps through pretty much all Cavin's noises and playing. Stella is now sleeping from 10 to about two or three in the morning and then sleeps again till about seven or eight it's awesome! Her fussy time from 7 to 10 is hit and miss it's probably only three or so times a week now, so getting better we have found that if we give her a bottle at four she seems to be less fussy I so I just pumped milk and Marcus gives it to her!
Stella is smiling more more every day but she makes me work for it! She doesn't love her tummy time but I still do it everyday.  I think Stella is going to be a talker, she is already  making all kinds of noises that melts my heart cause she has this sweet little girl voice!!
I love my sweet little angle!

Stella did great at her 2 month check up she is 12 lbs!!!  95% her head and height are 50%  she is growing and doing great!  She is so cute and really turning into a cute sweat girl! 

Stella is sleeping in tip about 830 and then up for a hour or two then takes a short nap, then eats and takes a long nap, eats and is up for an hour then another nap! then we get her ready for bed and she is sleeping from 930 or 10 to 3 or 4 am then eats at 7 am again.  She is a sleeper that's for sure!!  Mom and dad are sure grateful!

Stella Blesseing January 5th 2014

We blessed the first of the year it was a great day that Bruce family was there and my parents were there and Anna and CHRISTIAN's family was there! We are so grateful for all the family love and support. Stella looked beautiful and she did great. Marcus gave a wonderful blessing! I feel so blessed to have the Gospel in our lives and A great husband that holds the priesthood. He is such a good example to our family.

Christmas continues the week after Christmas!

We had a long Christmas celebration, as my family came after christmas and Marcus' family came for a week after christmas.  It started off bad with me getting sick, I mean really sick, probably the worst I've ever been since my mission.  No fun, lucky for me, my mom was there to take Cavin and Stella slept in bed with with all day while Marcus had to work.  I was really sick for a day and then lost my voice for a couple days, had a really bad sore throat for a few days, then just a cough for a week or so, but felt pretty good after the first 2 days.  

Josh and Liz's family come down from Boise and it was so fun to see them!  We always have so much fun when we get together.  Marcus is always the fun one as he played outside with the kids for 2 hours!!  The kids all come in Red and cold but happy as could be!

This picture doesn't do them but Stella got the CUTEST boots from Morgan for Christmas!  (more pictures to come when they fit better!) 

Can you tell Cavin loves his cousins! he's a lucky boy!

 And Morgan loves the babies!  

 Marcus' little buddy Levi

 I love watching kids talk and how Cavin seems to really understand what Morgan is telling him!

 Josh's family was only here for a couple days and of course it went by too fast. 

We meet Grandpa and Grandma Bruce in Idaho Falls for lunch and had a great time!  Cavin and Stella got spoiled as always with lots of fun toys!  It was fun for The Great Grandparents to be with Cavin and Stella.  

 Four Generations!
