My 1st 3 Weeks with my 3 Boys

The past few weeks have been great and I'm so happy that 1. Cayden is a healthy and happy little boy, and he's just perfect, 2. I'm not pregnant anymore! 3. it's summertime, and we're enjoying this gorgeous weather. We're adjusting from just chasing the two boys around to caring for 3 and things take a little longer and there's a little more packing wherever we go, but I don't think we could be any happier and we're just so grateful that Cayden is here with us and part of the family. So here's what we've been up to these past 3 weeks:

Fun in the sun: we had some of the neigborhood kids over to play in the backyard and have some BBQ'd hotdogs. And we got to relax and soak up a little sunshine while all the kids ran around and played.



Wheeler Farms: We've been loving this weather and I thought it would be fun to have a pic-nic and feed the ducks up at Wheeler Farms. Jared's mom, dad, and his sister, Jennifer and her little boy, Zaden joined us.




BASEBALL!!
Jordan had his last game of baseball and the whole team got t-shirts and trophies. I didn't realize how much Jordan would like his trophie (it goes to bed with him each night). And of course Jordan's two little brothers were there to cheer him on :-)





Noah, Jordan, and Jackson (aka: the Three Musketeers) these boys have so much fun together. After each game they chase each other around and play tackle for a while before we head home.

BBQ at the Beechers; Jackie and Ryan Beecher invite all of our old ward friends over for a BBQ each year and it's so fun to see everyone and catch up.


Jordan, Austin, and the tonka trucks! These two boys will chase each other around the yard with their tonka trucks until they're out of breath and sweating. It's the funniest thing to watch. They'll run and run and then crash, hit the ground and lay there to catch their breath, hop back up and do it again.

My little angel Cayden:

Danny, Emily, and the twin girls came over and treated us to a delicious dinner - what a treat! The kids had fun playing around in the backyard.

On Father's Day we went over to see Jared's mom and dad; the weather was so nice so we just sat outside and let the kids run around for a while.


Jordan and Austin were out playing in the backyard and I had to step inside to feed the baby. I was sitting by the kitchen window and I could hear their voices but couldn't see what they were doing because they went behind the storage shed. I didn't realize there was a huge mud puddle back there because of all the rain. They drove their tonka trucks back there and were running back and forth in the mud; good times for the boys and lots of muddy laundry for mom.

We were on our way home one evening right after a rainstorm. The sun decided to come out for a few minutes and we got to see the most beautiful rainbow; the colors were so vivid and bright. It was so cool because the rainbow went right over the Draper Temple.

Our family went to Park City for the day; we had lunch at Baja Cantina (our favorite PC spot) and then we went on some of the kiddie rides.
