Dallas Cade

Oh, how I LOVE you!

3 Months

My blue eyed baby is 3 months old! WHERE does the time go?!?!? I am shocked at how fast the days have gone by. Maybe it's because I am busy, busy, busy, being a mother to two little boys.
Wes is a wonderful baby and I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

Things I want to remember:
He loves his baths, just like the D man.
He's a mamma's boy!
Still won't cuddle....just like his brother.
Still has blue eyes! I keep waiting to wake up one day and see them brown, but not yet. I wonder if they will change....
He found his hands and feet! He loves to stare at his hands. He is amazed every time they move.
He is fascinated by Dallas. It's so fun to watch him, watch Dallas. He will give him the biggest smiles and I just know they will be the best of buds (maybe enemies as well) when they grow up.
I love to hold him and make him laugh. He is just starting to laugh and I love it!
He makes our family feel more complete and I can't imagine my life with out him.
Nicknames- The Wes Man, Westofer, Wesmister, and Little Man.


We love you! Happy 3 months. :)

***Health note-he's doing so well! His blood levels are leveling out so no more weekly doctor visits! We have graduated to three month visits and this will probably stay that way until he's older or he gets his spleen removed. But, we're thrilled that we don't need another blood transfusion and that his spleen seems to be doing okay for now. yea!

Jason Aldean

Love concerts!!! Especially when they are country concerts and I can wear my cowboy boots! :)

We went to Jason Aldean and opener Luke Bryan and had a great time! Thanks to Tory and Elizabeth for watching our rugrats. We started off the night by going to Texas Roadhouse with the boys. Had to include them in some of our date! Dinner like always was super yummy.

We didn't get very many good photos-it's hard to not have my nice camera at concerts! Above is Luke Bryan. Two of my favorite songs he sang were "All my Friends Say" and "Do I." He did a great job and I LOVED his dancing.

Loved Jason Aldean! We saw him open for Rascal Flatts a few years ago when he was just starting out. Now he's a big star and having his own show! He sang a few of his old songs and they were some of my favorites. But, my all time fav was his "Big Green Tractor." Love it!

We had great seats-on the floor and not too far from the stage. Great night, good company. Love a date with the Tob Man every once and while!

Enjoy the videos!

"Do I" by Luke Bryan


"Heaven" by Jason Aldean
He did a music swap with Bryan Adams and so he sang us one of the songs he did for the show.

Flying Pie Pizzaria, "It's Your Day!"

On St. Patrick's day, we headed out to Flying Pie Pizzaria where I got to make my own pizza! It was left handed day, therefore my day. I love their pizza so I knew we'd have a good time.

We went with the Jensens, our friends from the ward. Both Angee and Flower are left handed so they got to make two pizzas. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

You have to wear hats when you make the pizza and Toby made me wear this one in honor of St. Pat's day. Funny, we don't even drink.....

Angee and Flower with their hats on.

You have to toss your pizza. I was so worried I was going to drop mine! Luckily I didn't and now I can say I've tossed my own pizza dough.

Putting on the toppings. I love how you can put whatever you want on and however much you want as well. I loaded that thing up!

Yum! It was a fun way to end our St. Patty's day.

"Today Is The Day For The Wearing Of The Green"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope your day was filled with all things green and lucky! We had a nice relaxing day just playing around at home. It was perfect weather--68*! Don't you love Spring? Uncle Chris came by to visit and it was great to see him.

The Wesman. Can't believe he'll be 3 months old on Sunday. CRAZY! I love this little man. He makes me so happy. I'm not a baby person at all, but when it comes to MY babies, I love em!

For the most part, he one happy little dude. He is a mamma's boy though and prefers me over anyone else. This is fine most of the time. At church when I'm in primary and Toby's in YM and Dallas refuses to go to nursery, it doesn't work out so well. Toby was on call this past Sunday so I was at church by myself--not fun with two babes. Gave Wes to a friend of mine and he started crying so she took him out in the hall. It only got worse. I could hear him scream and finally gave Dallas to another friend and went out to get him. He can be a little stinker like that. :)

Always busy doing something! He is go go go all day long. Play hard and be happy. He loves his cars and if you want to be his friend, all you have to do is get him some sort of car or truck. He loves his buses and we are starting to collect them. They aren't easy to find so when I do find one-I snatch it right up! He would not stay still for me to take his photo. Got to take what I can get.

Such a cutie. Love his little face. He gets kisses from me all day long. Right now, he's in his bed and when I laid him down, he was out cold. Now he is laughing at something. It's so fun to hear him find his voice and start to talk. He has also found his hands. They are so foreign to him and I love watching his eyes get big each time he moves them or brings them close to his face.

Typical shot of what I get with my D-man. Thanks Dallas. We are working on his words and trying to get him to talk. He understands great, but it's a little bit difficult to get him to talk. We're working on it and the doc told me not to be too worried. Some kids take a while. We'll see.

The best I could do with the both of them. Notice Dallas' hand. He likes to touch Wes and the cheeks is what he was going after tonight. Sometimes he'll just pat them and other times he'll pinch them. He has a little sneaky smile too. The kid cracks me up. Love my boys.

Hope you had a fantastic green day. It's fun to be Irish and celebrate family history from my Dad's side of the family.

Quick

WHERE is time going?!?!?! I constantly feel like I am running a race and I'm falling behind and can not catch up. Will my life ever slow down? And it's not like I have any big plans or errands or even doctor's appointments. Just your average every day stuff. Motherhood and Life is kicking me in the butt.

I have so many posts in my head. Wish they would be actually posted.

We went to Camels Back Park for FHE on Monday-lots of fun. Dallas was in heaven as he was running around with all the kids and playing on the playground.

Yesterday we went back and decided to climb Camels Back. Remember when I did this 9+ months pregnant?

Well as we're making our way down, my lovely D baby wants to run and walk without holding my hand. I'm so nervous he's going to fall down the hill. Guess what.......he trips and starts to fall. I FREAK OUT! Good thing Toby is quick (I was carrying Wes in the front carrier--no help) and he grabbed him. The kid started to roll down the hill. And we're not talking bout some small hill. I about died. Then I about died of laughter. Not but two seconds before, I had told Toby that Dallas was nuts and was going to fall down. And he did. My kid almost fell down Camels Back. Lovely. It was so stinkin' funny......after I had my heart attack.

My uncle Chris came by to visit today. He was here on business and dropped by to say hi. It was so fun to see him. I sure love and miss my family. He has twin daughters and they are both pregnant at the same time! Ash with her 4th and Lindsey with her 1st. We are so excited for them.

This kid is driving me nuts. I had a hard Monday-really bad (I would not be getting a mother award any time soon.....) and just couldn't shake that bad attitude all day.

Today has been better. It's Left Handed Day at Flying Pie Pizzaria. We'll be heading there tonight so I can make my free pizza. Remember when it was Toby's Day? Well, mine has come. Looking forward to eating some yummy pizza.

Hope you're all wearing green. I have the boys in some cute shirts. I'll get some photos and post them....maybe. :)

Blessing Photos

Some photos of my sweet little Wesley.  Love this little man.  He looked so cute in his blessing outfit. 

Wesley's Blessing

We blessed Wes the first Sunday of March. It was a quick trip for all involved! My grandparents came from Utah, fam from Spokane, Toby's parents from Rexburg and the rest of his siblings from Utah. We were only missing Tara, Toby's oldest sister. Her son Tyler was battling RSV so they were home. Luckily he is all better now.

We spent Saturday at the park and that night went out to eat and had a little get together at the hotel and went swimming. It was short--too short! We're so grateful for those who came to support us.

Mom and Wes. He's growing up so much!

Mom came to the door with the girls and Dallas freaked out. He was shocked and then immediately was happy. He sure knows and loves his family. I think he was super excited to have his "peeps" at his house.

Grandma Lovey with her Loves.

Mom gave Wes a bath. Fun times for them both.

Katie rocking him to sleep. She sure is a great help.

Lissy and Wes.

Megan and Wes

Had to get some golfing in. The weather was perfect! 60* and felt like a wonderful spring day. While they golfed, we went to the park to play.

So glad my sisters were there to entertain D baby. They sure love him and he loves them!

Smile!

Going down the slide.

Andrew playing with Dallas.

I was so glad to be able to sit at the park. It is hard to chase after Dallas and be holding Wes or watching him in the stroller.

G & G with Wes

Mom, Grandpa and Grandma and Wes.

Four generations! We just need to get a girl in that photo! :)
Toby's Dad eating cake

Dallas and I. He was so excited to go swimming.

Tassa, Toby's sister.

The cake. Yum!

Chocolate cake. Double yummy! Got to love Costco.

Tawny and Alex. Tawny is Toby's baby sis and Alex is our nephew. He's a doll.

Tawna (tob's sis) and nephew Britton. He's all smiles!

Tom, Melissa and Toby. Melissa loves Tom and remembers dancing with him at my wedding.

She was jealous that Alicia was going to marry him. Silly girl. She still gets teased by it.

Tawny eating cake and getting ready to swim.

Tim. Whenever we go out with them, people always assume that Tim is Toby's twin. They sure look like it but they're not twins!

Grandma and Grandpa Clark. Thank you for coming!

Toby, Wes and I. Wes is wearing the same outfit that Dallas wore and that my brother Andrew wore and that my uncles on my Mom's side wore. Family traditions. I also had him wrapped in a blanket that Tawna (Toby's sis) made for Dallas. Got to keep things from both sides of the family!

Our cute little family. I can't believe I have two kids. Wow. Good thing their cute. :)

Grandma Lovey and Grandpa with their little grandsons.

We took up a whole row at church!

But Toby's family needed like 3 rows! We are a growing bunch. Missing one sister and her family. Tara and Greg have 4 kids. Lots of fun cousins to play with!

Over all, it was a beautiful blessing and day. We love the gospel and are so grateful for the blessings we receive from it! Toby gave Wes a beautiful blessing and I'm so thankful he holds the Priesthood to be able to do so. We are one lucky family!
