Just because...

Can't a girl ever just blog because her boys are seriously so stinking adorable? I just keep gawking over these pictures and thought I should share the cuteness!



















A day at potato harvest

Kory had a trip for work last week and I knew I would go crazy cooped up at home with just the boys for 2 days. The obvious solution was to go check out potato harvest. Boston hasn't missed one since he was born and I knew he would get a kick out of it more than ever this year. Kory's dad was running the cellar and his mom was driving a semi between the field and cellar. We had a grand old time checking it out. Seriously, I think Boston thought it was the best day of his life.







Bridger 1 month pics

I wanted to be slightly more creative with Bridgers monthly pictures than I was with Bostons. With Bostons I just wrote his age on the iPad, propped it up next to him and snapped a picture. For Bridgers we actually have props! Our lovely birthmom and I apparently think alike and bought very similar gifts. We bought her and Bridger matching stuffed monkeys so when we sent pictures she could see the size comparisons and always have that link between the two of them. The same day we gave her those she gave us a teddy bear for Bridger from build a bear that she had a matcher for! Of course we ave to have them both included in the picture!







Bridger is a big boy. He loves his food! At his 2 week appointment he was already up to 9 lbs. A week later we took him into the doctor again and he was at 10 lbs 6 oz! Yesterday he saw the doctor and he is 11 1/2 lbs! Needless to say, he is growing quite well!

Boston had a birthday!

Boston is now a whole 2 years old!! He has had the "terrible twos" for awhile now so it is about time he can truly be his title. We had quite the fun day! I wondered a few times if he ever questioned why he was having such a crazy good day or if he just rolled right along with it.  We started the day off with breakfast as a picnic in the middle of our living room watching his favorite show curious George. Then Kory joined us for a trip to the park. Boston is in love with swings and slides!
For lunch we went to Carl's jr. and had root beer and fries for lunch and played all over the indoor play place.
For dinner Grandma and Grandpa Call, Aunt Krystal and Uncle Shane, and cousin Lexi joined us. We had pizza (Boston ate none of this since he is the pickiest eater ever!) and then pulled out the cake and ice cream. Boston has recently taken a huge interest in cars, tractors, and trucks so I made a not very well executed road cake that had hot wheels all over it. He loved it!
We opened presents next! Kory made Boston an adorable tool bench and then we gave him a Home Depot toy tool set. He was in Heaven!
We couldn't get him to even look at other presents! Grandma and grandpa marchant gave him a cool semi to store all his hot wheels along with more hot wheels and Grandma and grandpa Call gave him a strider. We are still working on that but he loves trying and has to go out every day to do it.

Furious that he had to open more presents!

Boston is the funniest kid. He has such a funny personality! He is always trying to play tricks on us and loves to be tackled and tickled. He is a mischief maker, he loves to pump shampoos, conditioners, and lotions and give all his toys "baths." He is extremely outgoing and I think everyone in our ward knows who he is even if they don't know us. He loves to wear hats, sunglasses, put his hands in his pockets and be totally cool. He knows about 25 words and loves to jabber and laugh hysterically at his own jokes. We love him so much and are soooo happy he is in our family!

We adopted a Baby!!!

Our family has been sooo blessed! We were able to adopt a baby boy 3 weeks ago. Bridger was born on August 10 at 9:12 pm. He was 7 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches long. I was lucky enough to get to be in the room for labor and delivery and it was such a special experience! We love this little boy so much and love our birth mom so much for allowing us this opportunity! Boston has a mixed response to the new little guy, sometimes he adores him, most the time he ignores him, and sometimes he can't stand him. Someday they will be the best of friends I'm sure! Oh, and to all those people that told me going from one to two wasn't hard they are Liars! This is tricky business. We wouldn't trade it for the world though, this little boy has a firm hold on our hearts!
