4 months already???

Bryken is four months old today. I can not believe how time has past. He is the sweetest little thing. I love to cuddle on him and watch how Brad and Tucker love on him as well. Tucker can not seem to get enough of his little brother, he makes him smile the biggest smiles, it is the cutest thing ever. Brad makes the kid laugh all the time, that little laugh is like a drug you just want more of it. Byrken's eyes are officially blue, my little dark haired blue eyed boy. We were all sure they would be big and brown like Tucker's but they arent. He is so strong, he is so active for someone who can't do very much LOL. He is so funny, when he is laying on his back he gets his litle legs moving so much and scoots himself across the floor, I am amazed at how far he can actually get :).

He loves bath time. He gets moving in his little ducky tub and splashes water all over the place. He then of course shoots off one of those amazing little smiles that make us all smile right along with him.

I am sure that not too much longer he will have a tooth. His fists are in his mouth 24/7. Tummy time is adventurous for him as well. He gets those knees up under him and you can tell that he just trying to get someplace. I have to say that I have been pee'd on more with him than ever, and man can that kid shoot it!!! I love to just hold him and watch him sleep, he is so peaceful. I am so glad that he has completed our little family. I am enjoying watching him grow, it is a bittersweet expirience for sure.

My Little Chef....

I love having my Friday's off, Tucker and I have made it a tradition that we bake something of his choice. We made an apron last year and it now gets plenty of use. He looks so darn cute in it. His favorite thing to do is crack the eggs. He actually doesnt do too bad of a job.

Water Fun....

We just can not seem to get enough of water :) In Malad there are two resivores within a ten minuet drive so we seem to be drawn to them. It is great to get together, bring all the kids, and just hang out. I love having friends with kids around the same ages, we have been lucky enough to have that back home and in Idaho Falls, it makes times more interesting! I once heard that once you are outnumbered by kids its not good, but I beg to differ the more the merrier :) Okay as long as they are not all mine :). Tucker does so well out in the water with his little life jacket, he will even jump off the dock all by himself.

Brad and Tucker took off on the jet skis, I was definetly a little worried due to the fact that these two boys have two speeds: fast and faster. They wrecked of course, nothing big just tipped over. Tucker just made sure that he grabbed his dad's hat, got back on, and was ready for more....

The List

I couldn't come up with a clever title for this list, so "The List " it is...I have been thinking a lot about goals and things I want to do. I know that Brad and I have some of these things in the works but....I keep saying I want to do things but now I am going to do them. My timeline is to have all this done by next year. Some will take longer of course but I CAN DO IT!! So this is what I came up with. It was hard and it made me realize I need to have more goals in life.

Slip N Slide

Today was so much fun. I knew that Brad had some kid left in him but I did not know how much I guess. Tucker and Brad played on the slip and slide for a while. It was so much fun to watch them. Tucker made sure that they took turns racing down the slide. Brad was definetly having just as much fun as Tucker. I love watching how Brad interacts with his boys, he does such an amazing job. Tucker would count down to the time for Brad to slide and boy did he think that was a blast. I know these are memories Tucker will carry with him forever.

Brothers

These two little boys make my life amazing! I love being a mom. I do not remember what life was like withouth them and plainly, I dont care. All I want is to raise these two adorable boys!

Tucker Ray Kelly

Tucker is a little harder to cooperate, however he is a little photogenic himself. We caught some great personality shots here.
