Poppy!

We have a new addition to the family! A puppy named Poppy! She is a super cute 2-year-old yorkie that we adopted from a family that could no longer keep her. She is the perfect dog for us. She came to us house trained and full of love. She is tiny so Bella can pull her around everywhere and she wont accidentally maul over my babies. She is the sweetest dog and just adores Bella. She follows her all around and even sleeps in Bella's bed! And she doesn't shed!!! I think it's a perfect fit!

A visit from Uncle Steve!

Steve came to Boise for a few days and we were lucky enough to see him! I say lucky because the silly guy didn't tell anyone else in the family that he was here. Good thing he will be back in December. We spent Saturday with him and watched football, played a little soccer and of course he entertained our kids. They just love their Uncle Steve! We miss having him around.

The next Mia Hamm?

Who knows? Bella is pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old! Seth got her some little shin guards and a pair of tiny cleats. She is so cute to watch!

Saturday we decked the kids out in their Boise State gear and took them to their first football game! BSU played Miami (OH) and it was a shut out! It was a fun family outing. Bella had so much fun cheering and eating hotdogs and popcorn. She was so cute! Little Everett slept through most of it but everytime the crowd would roar with excitement he would get startled and throw his arms in the air while making the cutest little face and then it was right back to sleep. He's such a sweet baby boy. Of course Seth being an avid football fan was the most excited of all! This is just the start to what we hope will be a new family tradition. Maybe next year we will be able to swing season tickets.

On the way to the game!

Bella's favorite place to be is on Daddy's shoulders.

Famous blue turf!

Cutie patooties!

Popcorn

Not sure how he slept through all the commotion.

Hangin' with the Hills!

Mellissa, Curtis and Brody came to Boise for a few days! It was a good time indeed. We hung out with all the Idaho fam, went to the zoo and then watched the Boise State game while we enjoyed Curtis and Seth's delicious BBQ dinner. I took some super cute pictures of the Hill family while they were here. That was a blast that included little Brody crawling down the middle of the road! We miss them already!

Here's a few of the pictures that I took. I think they turned out so cute! Hope you like them Mel & Curt. The resolution isn't quite as good when uploaded to this site.

Everett's first photo shoot!

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!
