I can't believe that my baby is six weeks old already!

the last six weeks of pregnancy didn't go by this fast!

*Oakley gained over three pounds in the first month

he now weighs 11 lbs 8 oz!

(at least he did two weeks ago he's probably 13+ lbs now)

*He has lost most of his hair on the top

but it is starting to grow back

and I am seeing a lot of blond grow in!

*He sleeps like an angel the first half of the night

usually going 5-6 hours

and then wakes up every 2 hrs after that

*He is still sleeping most of the day

but is usually awake in the evenings

*He is starting to smile

*He loves to be warm

bordering on hot

if he is a little bit cold his little chin quivers

*He hates his baths

but loves to have his hair scrubbed.

We just can't get enough of this little boy

and we are glad he is in our family!

Owen turned six on the fifth!

He had a pretty fun day

I forgot to wrap his presents

so I hurried up and wrapped them in the morning

just to have him open them five seconds later

He wanted a skateboard

but there were so many designs to choose from

I decided to print out a picture of one

then he could pick it out himself

after that he ate cake

and played batman on the xbox

We are so happy to have Owen in our family

he is such a boy

which I love

but he gets so crazy at times

he loves to wrestle

play baseball

he is a great dancer

he loves to sing

and he learns the words to songs so fast!

he loves to help his dad work on things

and even has his own tools

We love you Owen

Happy Birthday!

Morgan decided to get baptized on July 3rd, 2010

I am so happy that she made the choice to be baptized

she is a good example for her little sister and brothers

She did have to be 'dunked' twice

because Bruce didn't have his hands in the right place

that's ok, she didn't mind going in twice!

The 'middle' kids did swim lessons this year

they all did excellent!

Morgan and Owen both passed their levels with flying colors

Reagan just needed to do a back float to pass hers

They learned a lot and gained a lot of confidence

We love swim lessons!

Bailey and Oakley had fun watching

Bailey wanted to take a break from lessons this year

but next year both her and Oakley will be in swim lessons!

Owen and Bailey had a great cheering section

even if we had to let them have a otter pop once in a while!

Bailey decided to try out softball this year

and she loved it!

She had a bit of a learning curve to overcome

but she made great progress in the end

her team even went to state!

She had a great team

they were positive

they cheered eachother on

and gave great support!

I was glad she had a good experience

and she wants to do it again next year!

Our stake had a swim party a few weeks ago

it was so windy that night

but the kids had fun anyways

the little one's didn't last long

but long enough to have some fun!

Owen wanted to play T-ball this year

It wasn't quite what he thought it was going to be like

There was a lot of learning of how to play

which he already knew

but he had fun at the games

I think he will have more fun next year when he'll get to play more

I did a little photo shoot when Oakley was 2 weeks old

It was so fun and he just slept the whole time

he let me move and pose him anyway I wanted

unfortunatly the photo session ended

when he decided to poop all over the blanket!

Ah, the joys of a newborn!

The kids love summer!

They love getting wet

we really need to get a little pool

but for now the sprinklers will do!
