Life with Three!

So life with three is interesting and very tiring! Though there have been some pricless moments- proven with the below pictures. i love these pictures! The kids adore Adelle and these capture the tenderness of these moments.

Lowes has a fun free project for kids every other Saturday( nationwide) and Shane took the kids to enjoy creating this fun pirate ship.

Some sibling love:)

4 days old

Our little Adelle is ADORABLE, if I do say so myself:) These are some pictures of her 4 days old. She is now 8 days old and we are finally feeling like things are beginning to become somewhat routine (though I'm sure everything will continue to change). Adjusting to three is definately challenging, but we are making it through. I love those little feet!Wide eyed and alert.This is just to show how small she is- that is my fat foot. She is so small, her body- head to bottom- is barely longer than the length of my foot (approx. size 9).Sleeping soundly in her new bouncer. So sweet.

Chasin' Pigeons

A few days ago, Shane took the kids to the park. This is waht they enjoyed the most! Pretty funny.

Little Adelle is here...

Just arrived home after 24 hours in the hospital.

Adelle was born June 10th at 10:24am weighing 6.0lbs, 19 inches long.

She is really sweet and her big sister and brother are enjoying her, as are her Mommy, Daddy, and Grandmas and Aunties. I am very tired and sore and hopefully will be able to rest more now that I'm home (hardly slept in the hospital at all). I'm off for a nap while the kids do the same!

Made it through...

My sister, Ali's wedding was beautiful! I made it to the sealing and everything, amazingly enough- even with a scare in the early morning hours before the wedding (contractions for a couple of hours). It was a wonderful setting, with beautiful weather-honestly, they couldn't have gotten better weather in St. George for JUNE..it was unbelievably cool. Ali was beautiful, Perris was very handsome. They make a great couple, don't ya think?!

The cake turned out nice. Bigger than I wanted, but it was nice and even tasted good:) Transporting a cake is an interesting task, but it all worked out well with only a few mishaps.

Brinly and Cade were adorable in their little outfits, as was their cousin Addison. They had fun together for the most part- with a few moments of teasing and arguing:) Don't they look adorable?:)Brinly and Cade had a good time on the temple grounds playing in the shade of this enormous tree (don't you love it?). We miss those good old trees!! Peak-a-boo. Love them.

Flower Dress

So, my sister and Mom were gracious enough to make this beautiful dress for Brinly. It is so cute. I finished the final things today (button, beltloops, ironing, etc.). It is just adorable. Take a look at the final product: Brinly is thrilled.

Wedding Cake Trial #1

Ok, my sister is getting married in June and asked me to do the wedding cake. I had to do a trial run...this is it. It isn't perfect, but I thought it turned out pretty good. Anybody want some?? Shane doesn't even like cake, so we are seriously going to have some major leftovers! It's all homemade too b/c I didn't have any cake mixes on hand:)

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Proportion wise, I'm not sure if it needs to be a little taller on the bottom layer or not? The ribbon and flowers are just what I had on hand- they'll be different- yellow ribbon and probably roses for the flowers.
