Bear World

I have been enjoying lots of time with my kids and less at the computer, but I'm trying to catch up on what we have done in the last 6 weeks with my handsome little guy!Nick's brother came up to visit and we spent the day at Bear World.

I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to go, but it was so worth it! We let Macie pile in Grandma Jane's car with the other girls & kept Emma & Miles with us. Because you drive about 5 mph through the park, Nick let Emma do the driving. It was neat for the girls to see some wildlife close...but I think the wildlife highlight was when a bear climbed on top of Grandma Jane's car full of girls!Macie had a blast at the petting zoo! They also had some rides- Macie loved every minute and Emma wasn't quite as impressed. After nearly two hours of rides, we had to drag Macie away screaming! Thankfully it didn't last long, she was so worn out from playing she fell asleep two minutes after we buckled her in the carseat.

And... to prove I was there:

It was chilly so Miles and I hung out in the car after his snack for a while to warm up. Love family days like this!

just because...

stripes match stripes.

Easter Egg Hunt

Savannah and kids are up this weekend and we met up in Driggs for the Easter Egg Hunt - so much fun! Nick and Miles stayed home together and I took the girls.

Pre- egg hunt: When Emma is feeling super shy, she covers her ears. This is totally typical Emma. Rylee has decided Grandpa rocks. I agree. Savannah's big kids after the egg hunt comparing loot. Yes, there was snow on the ground. Why do I live here? I love Emma's choice for hair bow placement - she picked the two biggest flowers and stuck them right on top.

We had a great time and even walked away with some yummy cinnamon rolls!

{39 weeks}

Baby Miles is here! He was born on Thursday at 12:16, weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and measured 19" long. We are all so in love!

Miles Albert James

He was a scheduled c-section that went very smooth! The nursing staff in Rexburg was great and we were able to come home after 2 days. We are both doing well, and happy to be a family of 5 now!

{princess love}

I caught the girls both dressed up as princesses cuddling on the couch the other day - it didn't last long, but I love moments like these.

{love note}

I caught Emma writing me a "love note" on some fabric the other day... so cute! She said she used fabric because she knows how much I love it.
