Many Faces Of...

My Gorgeous Girl











And My Beautiful Boy















I love these two and their funny personalities! And like my birthday card from R says, with all that I do for them "I must have been bored before they came along".

4 Month Wonders

My cute, chubby little baby boy(now 5 months) grew so much during the 4 month time period. He is still growing, but he seemed to achieve a lot during the last month. Here are a few pictures of the progress.

P HATES riding in the stroller(pram). I decided to sit the seat up and buckle him in, and imagine he LOVED it! He smiles ALLLLLLLLLLLLL the time. Its is the cutest gummy smile ever! I now can even start to tickle him and get a little giggle out. I can't wait until he is REALLY ticklish!

He can roll over from tummy to back. This is a fab picture of the determination! LOL

And the best for me...... he can hold his own bottle!!!! YAY!!!! I still tend to cuddle him while he is eating, just because he is so cute!

Other things that I didn't or couldn't get a picture of:

*starting feeding him rice cereal- we BOTH end up pretty messy, but he does manage to get some down.

*He has found his voice. This boy is proving to me that he is a true McSweeney. He can be SOOOO loud! I even had to walk out of sacrament meeting because he was just talking so loudly.


We all love our "little buddy". Can't wait to see what achievements come next!

Birthday Madness

While we had guests Jared and I celebrated our birthdays. Mine first, March 10th. After cake and ice cream, we played with the balloons that were all over the house.

R got in on the fun
And P couldn't be left out
Me and my baby girl
R took this picture
Jared's birthday, April 4th. I figured that he would appreciate a store bought cake. We all benefited from this. It was SOOOOO tasty! I did add a personal touch on top! :)
While Jared was in the bathroom, R wanted a dry run of the blowing the candles out. So we let her, then hurried and re lit them before Jared came back out!
Just a cool shot of the plane
His YUMMY chocolate/strawberry cake!
The kids gave Jared sparklers(which can be bought year round here).
Who knew that my hubby was pretty talented with the sparklers.
See what I mean
I tried to be cute, but I'm not as good as Jared
Even R got tricky!!
The other gift the kids got him were swords. These 2 LOVE fighting each other with them! R laughs SO hard!
She is a good little fighter! Her dad is proud!
She cut both arms off and was going for the leg :)
But Jared came out on top!
Or so he thought! The sword is blurry because she posed for the picture then while I was taking it swung and hit him in the face! Get 'em while they are down.
Who are we kidding, we all know who ALWAYS comes out on top when it comes to R and her daddy!
Happy Birthday Honey! Glad that I am always older and wiser. Even if it is only 3 weeks!!! :)

My Sleeping Beauties

I have been really excited about this post. It has been a few months in the working. Lately R has been falling asleep in odd places. So I have been documenting them, because I think they are SO funny! You may not get a kick out of this post as I do, but ENJOY!! Not so funny, but sleeping behind the laundry basket In Cairns at a street restaurant.
In Cairns again. She fell asleep under the blanket all curled up!
My cute boy, cuddling his bear
Really?!? If I were to fall asleep like that, I wouldn't be able to walk for a month!
I just laughed at this one. She was being a brat and was hiding under the table, and fell asleep!
She watches some of her movies on the computer. I looked over at her and she had fallen asleep like this!! LOL!!!
Just cute!
In the city. Looks like she is saying a prayer in her sleep!
She was a little too quiet in her room. I went to check on her and she fell asleep while coloring!! If you look closely you can see the red crayon she was using when she fell asleep.
Poor kid. Of course Jared is holding him. I would have at least supported his head a little more!
My kids don't have some sleeping disorder, but have been getting tuckered out with all the visitors and traveling.


They are TRULY asleep in all of these pictures!

I am HAPPY to FINALLY post this blog!
