Big Brothers

Dallin with Drake first thing in the morning.

Thomas hadn't sat down all day. When he finally took a minute to sit down and hold the baby, they both fell right to sleep.

Jack loves the baby (a little too much most the time).

The boys are enjoying the baby so much I feel a little bad that Jack is too young to remember all of this and Drake will never have the experience. Oh well. I guess someone has to be the youngest.

Drake

Drake is almost three weeks old. I am trying to savor every minute as this is the last time I will have a tiny newborn. He is sweet and cute and finally allowing me to get a little sleep at night. We all love him!

Introducing . . .

Our latest (and LAST) addition - - Drake. Born on Thursday. 6 lbs. 12 oz. 21 inches.

It's Fall Y'all

For those of you who think that I must enjoy year round warm weather, just because I live in Arizona, think again. When I lived in the Phoenix area, I did have that pleasure, but I missed the season changes I had grown up with in Utah. One of the few things I like about living in Taylor, is that we get to enjoy a nice Fall season. The other day, we took a drive to see the pretty fall colors and snapped some pictures. I am sharing more than usual, but you will have to indulge me. I couldn't resist. Happy Fall!!

Bees

The other day, I looked out my back door to see bees flying all around my back porch and swarming all over my hummingbird feeder. We have enjoyed the hummingbird feeder this summer as we had many little visitors to it, and we enjoyed seeing them as we ate many meals on our back porch. The boys would get really excited every time they saw them. However, the visitors this time, were not very welcome. I have nothing against bees - - except I am allergic to them - - so I would rather not have them swarming all over the back porch. I guess the flowers are mostly gone, so that hummingbird feeder was a pretty attractive target for them. My fearless husband came home at lunch and took it down. Thank you Jeremy!!!

There are moments you just have to capture.

The Bunk Bed

This is the newest craze at our house. We bought this a few weeks ago for Dallin and Thomas. After they fought forever about who got to sleep on the top bunk, they finally decided to take turns. They all just love to hang out up there, which scares me - because they can actually reach out and touch the ceiling fan. Jeremy cut the power to it, but I am still afraid that one of these days Dallin will try to swing from it, or that Jack will reach too far for it and go tumbling over the side. So far, they have all been pretty good, and I am hoping the novelty of the bunk bed will wear off soon and they will return to playing on the floor. I really, really prefer that!!!
