Nicolas' Baptism

Nicolas was baptized on Sunday August 10. He wore Donny's baptism outfit.

Boys

Here are a couple pictures of our boys. Nicolas looks at times so much like each of his siblings. No one can believe how much all our kids look alike. Nicolas is almost 11 weeks. He likes to talk and coo and smile. He weighed 13 lbs. 4 oz. at his 2 month check up and was 24 in. long.

Happy 4th of July

We experienced camping with our 3 little ones this weekend. We took Hannah camping when she was 16 months old so this was a new experience for all. Remember we are in the mountains of Idaho (Sawtooth National Forest) with no running water and minimal electricity off of the camper. Daniel had a ball because he was outside in the dirt and dirty all the time. Here are some pictures of our fun. We went with our friend Uncle Dirt and his family. Here are Hannah and Daniel sitting on a little dirt bike.
All of us on the tube behind Uncle Dirt's boat.
Hanging out of the dock on Lake AndersonSwinging in the Hammock.This is how Nicolas spent most of his weekend.
Exhausted and dirty.

Even Nicolas had dirt under his finger nails and in the creases of his hands.

Chunky Nicolas

Here are a couple of the latest pictures of Nicolas. I weighed him last week just to see how big he is getting and he weighed 12 lbs 4.5 oz. So he is definately filling out. I went to get him out of his crib this morning and found him sucking his thumb. It was so cute. He also starting smiling.

Finally . . .

Sorry I haven't put any pictures on for awhile but I got a new internet provider and so my computer is finally working better. So here are some new pictures of Nicolas and the kids. Nicolas is doing really good. He is growing so much and is starting to get little rolls everywhere. He slept 6 hours last night - yeah! So hopefully we are on our way to all night.

Here is Nicolas sleeping on Hannah. Hannah is finally potty trained. We still have a few accidents and wear pull-ups at night but definately see the light at the end of the long tunnel. She loves to help and hold and kiss him.
My mom was such a help while she was here it was awesome. I told her that I was use to the 3 before she came and then her help was amazing that when she went home I about pulled my hair out the day she left cause I had to get use to the 3 of them by myself again. We are settling in though to life with 3 little ones. It is nice to have Donny around to help to get through dinner and bathes cause that is usually a fussy time for Nicolas.
Daniel has gotten use to Nicolas and now even tries to take him from me to hold him.

All ready for church.

Hannah was in a wedding on June 7 for Donny's cousin. She was a flower girl and was really cute and did a great job. I was so proud of her.

Nicolas is growing!

I weighed Nicolas last week just to see how much he is growing and he weighed 10 1/2 lbs already. I couldn't believe he is gaining at a rate of 1 lb a week. I tried to upload pictures but my internet is not working great. So I will keep trying and hopefully have some new pictures for you soon.
