A Camping We Will Go!!!

On Saturday night Richard got a little crazy and made a random suggestion that we should call up our great friends the Ropers and go camping! I was all for it! So we called them up to see if they wanted to go and we were off on our very first camping adventure as a family into the woods! We decided on Green Canyon in North Logan and it was pretty great!

We loaded up the car, can you see Trey cramped in with all the stuff!!

And we were off! Don't we all look excited! We have never been camping before besides the backyard so it was sure to be an adventure! Honestly after we were on our way I started to wonder what I was thinking taking a 3 month old camping!!
Shortly after we got to our sight the Ropers got there and Tenzing a Jack took to the mountain to look for rocks! They also didn't waste any time getting covered in dirt! It was great!

Oakely and Trey worked hard building this fire pit so we could roast them in it later ;)

Richard and Kelly worked hard building our fire for the night! Richard after all was the cub master for a long 3 months so he's a pro!!

Trey spent most of the night like this staring into the fire and occasionally trying to burn down our campsite! You have got to watch that kid and a hot stick!

Later we roasted hot dogs! Tenzing and Jack were in heaven!

After a few minutes I had to step into help Jack since it was going to start looking more like a dirt dog instead!

Trey had fun telling Oakely "scary" stories! It was funny to listen to all of them tell their version of a scary story around the fire!

Jack and Tenzing the best of friends!

Trey and his face! This kid was covered from head to toe in dirt!

Jack doing a fire dance!

We put all the kids to bed that night and us adults stayed up til about 1 relaxing by the fire! It was great! That night it was so warm. I was worried about how cold it would be especially for Harper but honestly it was hot! It got a little windy that night but it didn't even disturb the boys they slept right through it! Me and Richard didn't sleep that great but we still had alot of fun!

The boys woke up bright and early for a breakfast that dad forgot to pack so here they are eating a breakfast of champions!! I will make sure we are better prepared next time!

Tenzing and Jack decided to hike the mountain that morning to see what they could find! They both found tons of fun things!
Harper had a relaxing morning with Daddy after a great nights sleep! Seriously I was a little worried about her sleeping arrangements but she did fantastic! We bundled her up in her car seat and she slept til about 5! When she woke up she ate and went back to bed as fast as always!
Daddy and Harper enjoyed a nice morning relaxing by the fire and Richard did what he does best! Even camping can't tear him away from the evo!!!
We couldn't stay up there that long in the morning because we still had to get back in time to go to church! So we cleaned up our stuff and were on our way!


The boys had a great time! Just look at those messy faces! We had a great time too and we are so glad that the Ropers came with us! It was so fun and we can't wait to go again! We were totally exhausted a few hours after we got home and I think all of us were pretty out of it at church! I was sitting in the back in primary rocking Harper and I almost put myself to sleep but it was totally worth it!

3 Months!!!

Harper is 3 months old today! I can't believe it! At least I don't feel like she is growing super fast! She seems to be taking her time a little bit more then the other two. Probably because I'm in no hurry for her to grow up or rush her into doing things! If she wants to stay my little baby then it's fine by me! She is getting pretty chunky these days though! I think she probably weighs about 13 pounds right now, much smaller then her brothers at this age.

Her cheeks are feeling out even more and her legs are starting to get those big chubby rolls that I just love!
Here she is with the boys for her 3 month shot! Not loving it as you can tell! I think she looks like this every time maybe it's time to do something different!
She is a very smiley girl these days! I just love to go and get her up from her nap or in the morning because she always is happy to see you and give you big smiles!! She is starting to tell big stories too! She loves to just stare at the ceiling fan and talk to it it's so cute! She also loves to be talked to! If you talk to her she talks right back to you..so cute!
She also has found a new love for her hands! She loves to stuff her whole fist in her mouth. She also likes to eat her burp clothes or if she's wearing a dress or a skirt she like to eat that too!
She is still sleeping pretty good through the night except for a few nights ago when she didn't! She woke up around 230 and stayed up til 5! On top of that she didn't go to bed until about 11!!! I was one tired mom but at least it was only a one night deal!
Here she is loving the fan! She can't take her eyes off of it! She is still eating really good and is on a really good schedule! She is a little more flexible then she use to be so that is good! But I try to keep her eating every 3-4 hours so that she sleeps for a longer period of time at night! She is a good little napper in the afternoon. She usually naps for about 3 hours and then takes little cat naps through out the day! Trey and Jack are in love with her! Maybe a little to much! They are always right in her face and always having to check on her! She is really good at putting up with it though! She is just a mellow little girl! She is still very much a mommy's girl probably because I'm the source of the food, but she does love her daddy! I love to watch her hang out with him because she just snuggles with him and gives him all kinds of love! One thing that she doesn't like is to be bounced!!! She hates it, if she is fussy that is one thing that will make her even more mad! If you want to calm her down she just likes to be cuddled really close with her favorite blanky! You can walk around with her but no bouncing! Harper and me got to have our very first girls night together! It was cute we went shopping (which she even stayed awake for) and snuggled in bed and watched girl shows together! Seriously it was so fun!!! We are just loving having a girl in this house even the boys are loving it! Happy 3 months Harper Ella!!!

Carnies, Ponies and Piggies!!!

It is that time of year again when the Carnies come to town...yes I'm talking about he Cache County Fair! We love the fair for many reasons the boys like to go and see all the fun things and me and Richard like to see all the people that you wouldn't normally see crawl their ugly tattooed selves out for a night on the town!!! We went and saw all the fun things that Great Grandma Bair put in the fair and I think that she got blue ribbons for everything!

The boys both got balloons, two each to be exact!

We went and saw the animals, Trey was careful to stay as far away as possible! Someday he might get over the fear...maybe when he quits getting attacked by dogs!

We usually steer clear of the chickens! But this year Jack was all over it! I'm surprised he would get as close to them as he was! Now this is a Chicken Monster for you Jacky Bair!!!

Trey on the other hand couldn't wait to get out of there! Every time a bird so much as looked at him wrong he was freaking out!

Jack loved seeing the sheep and the piggies! He told me that he loves the piggies because they are pink and chubby and cute!!! That was until one snorted at him then he didn't think they were so cute anymore!

Richard and The Boys having dinner at the fair while listening to the people competing for the Cache Valley Idol...It wasn't pretty, but all these boy sure are!!!
Me and Harper at her first trip to the Fair! She was not diggin' the fair especially after she woke up! But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!!!

So the fair for us is not about the rides...we (as in myself and Richard, not just me) don't let the kids ride the rides. Have you ever listened to them when they are going, you can hear things falling off of them! I'm not about to have one of my babies get on those rides and get hurt!
What we do let the kids do is ride a pony! If you know the boys at all you know they are pretty much terrified of most animals that aren't a good distance away from them, but Trey can't wait for his pony ride every year!

Would you think from looking at these pics that he is afraid of animals? He rode his pony like a champ! Jack on the other hand didn't want to do it this year and that started his momentary possession by the devil!
Which ended our fair experience like this! Jack being man handled back to the car! I love it when one of the kids is so tired that they melt down like this! Richard and I have a really hard time holding back our laughing, because it's hilarious! They talk in tongues and get all sorts of crazy and then magically it stops like nothing ever happened! It was a great trip to the fair and I'm sure Harper had a great 1st time or at least we hope she did! Sadly it means the summer is almost over and soon both of the boys will be starting school....Yikes what will I do with myself!!!!

Harper's Blessing!!!

Harper was finally blessed by her Daddy this weekend! We held off til August Since the summer months are pretty busy for Richard at work and I wanted to be feeling better from my csection! It was a great day! Richard was pretty nervous about this blessing I don't remember him being nervous with the boys so it was kind of a weird site to see! He did an amazing job though and we are truly blessed to have her in our family!
Here is the pretty lady in her pretty dress! I found this dress on Etsy before she was born and couldn't wait to get it for her! Luckily Richard thought she needed it as much as I did! She looked absolutely beautiful in all these ruffles! I couldn't have asked for a better looking baby!

Here is Harper and her brothers getting ready for the big day!

Grandpa Bair and Grandma Kalee!!!

Grandpa Stud and Grandma Princess!

Here are our adopted Grandparents Brucey and Kathy! They are our neighbors and we just love them! They treat our kids like they are their own! Jack loves to mow the lawn with Kathy and they both love to watch for Brucey to come home on his Harley!!

Daddy and his Princess!

She as so tired at this point! Fell asleep right on my shoulder!

and didn't even budge when I put her in her crib!

We had many other family members there to support us that day! Lots of Aunts, Uncles, Great Grandparents, and Friends! Thanks to all that came and those of you who couldn't make it were missed! We are so happy to have this little girl in our family and we just love every second of her! She is such a blessing in our lives!! Love you Harper Ella!

Trey's 5th Birthday!!!

Trey Baby is 5!!! I can't believe it...he is getting so big and will be off to kindergarten this year!! Trey has been talking about his birthday for awhile now so it's a good thing that the day finally came because I don't know if he could have waited another minute! We started off the day with a text message bright and early from Grandpa bair telling us to listen to the radio. He had put Trey's name in the birthday round up so he wanted him to hear it! So we turned it on heard his name and he was so excited and then to top it off he won the grand prize. They do a drawing for all the kids that have their birthday called in and he won! He was so excited and a little shocked! He got a cake, ice cream, lunch! It was so great! Thanks Grandpa Bair for calling him in!!!

After that we opened presents! In case you don't know Trey is really into wrestling these days it's all he talks about so we knew what we would be getting him!

A two pack of new wrestlers...some of his favorite guys!

Most importantly the wrestling ring!!! I though he was going to pass out he was so excited!

A Lightning McQueen Pillow pet!
