He's A Growin'

Everett just had his 2 month well baby check up. My little 5 lb 13 oz, 20 inch long baby is now 11.5 lbs and just about 24 inches long! I guess my kids can thank their Great Grandpa Spencer and Perry for the tall genes. They sure don't get it from us. I took Bella with me to his appt and she was a bit jealous that baby brother was getting all the attention. She told the doctor that Everett did not want a shot and that it was her turn! She was trying to climb onto the table to get a shot! What 2-year-old does that? If you are in a room with Bella she will command your attention. I love her! She never ceases to amaze me.

I just saw the proofs of Everett's newborn pictures! I have to say that Brooke did an AMAZING job and that we have the sweetest most charming, handsome boy ever! I'll have to post the pictures when I get the CD from Brooke. Until then here are some recent pictures of our family lovin' on each other!

How sweet it is to be loved by you!

This hardly ever happens but I love when it does!

This happens ALOT!

My sweet boys!

He loves laying in Bella's bed and his musical giraffe!

My favorite little rugrats!

Bath time!

Life with 2!

The last 6 weeks have been BUSY around our house! Life with two kids under the age of three is definitely never boring. Everyday consists of smiles, tears, non stop cooking and cleaning, dirty diapers, potty training, laundry, baths, reading books, playing games, singing songs, saying prayers and lots of hugs and kisses! By the end of each day when I am dirty, exhausted and know that a good night sleep is not in the near future I can't help but to be thankful and feel blessed for my beautiful children. They mean the world to us. I still can't believe that I am the lucky one that gets to be their mother! I sure hope that I am doing justice to this role. The best part is that I get to share this journey of parenthood with my best friend. Seth is the most amazing husband and father. He exceeds every expectation I have every had. The other day Bella went and sat on his lap, looked up at him and said, "Daddy, you are a good man". I could not help but to get teary eyed. I love my family!

A day at the Fair!

Bella and Everett recently went to the fair for the first time! Everett slept through most of it. Bella had a great time! She got her face painted and saw a whole lot of animals. She loved the baby goats, cows, pigs and sheep. I think we may have a future veterinarian on our hands. She is an animal lover indeed. Seth talks about taking her hunting but as of now I just don't see it happening. I could see her just balling the minute he pointed a bow or gun at something.

Everett William Perry

Our new addition is here! Everett was born on June 8th at 7:50AM! He weighed in at 5 lbs 13 ozs and was 20 inches long! He was a little early but he's perfectly healthy and doing well. We had just moved back to Idaho when he was born. Seth went back to Vegas to pack up our rental house. He was only going to be gone for 2 days. I ended up going into labor the day that he left. I called him at 11:00PM when my water broke. He tried so hard to get to the hospital before Everett was born but ended up missing the birth by 2 hours. Good thing my Mom was with me. It was crazy but we are just glad that it went well and we have a beautiful healthy baby boy.

Bella is in love with her little brother. She is a natural little Mommy and wants to do everything for him.

Las Vegas and baby update!

It looks like we are moving to Las Vegas! Seth is starting a new job down there in a few days. We found a house to rent that is on the same street as the house that Mellissa (Seth's sister) and Curtis just bought. I'm really excited about that. It will be a huge move for us but everything seems to be falling into place. There must be a reason for us to be there.

I had my 7 month check up yesterday and things are looking good. Our baby boy looks great and is almost 3 pounds already! The lady doing the ultrasound said it looks like he has lots of hair. Bella still sings to him and gives him kisses everyday. We can't wait to meet this little guy.

Baby Shower

Yummy Food

Sharalyn and I

Everyone loves baby shower games!

Grandma's

Almost the whole group.

I am so thankful for my family and friends. They got together and threw me and our baby boy a shower. They are so wonderful. We played some fun shower games and ate some delicious food. I'm really going to miss everyone when we move. I guess we will have to come back and visit often!

Bella's 2nd Birthday

Bella's birthday was in January but I am just now getting around to updating my blog. Bella had her cousins and a few little friends over for pizza and cupcakes. She had so much fun!
