Weekend Trip

Bella's truck from Twilight!

The BIG hike!  Ha ha!

We headed over to North Shores, Forks and everything in between for a quick weekend trip!

Who me?!

I secretly love the fact that I catch Dusty sucking his thumb every once in awhile.

"Who me?!  I'm not sucking my thumb:)"

Discovery Point

Discovery Point light house was beautiful.  It was cold and windy, but that didn't seem to bother the kids.  They looked for shells and drift wood and explored. It was a perfect evening.

Air Show

Life has been pretty busy with the demands of a new baby.  We have been so busy and lucky to have so many family members and friends visit us!  We have had so much fun, lots to catch up with.  We did enjoy ourselves yesterday at an airshow.  We all loved watching the planes and helicopters-maybe not Dusty so much, the noise kept waking him up :).   

Bella Turns 2

A few days before our little Dusty was born, our sweet Bella turned 2!  We decided to keep it simple, Dusty was due the day before so we were not sure if we would be in the hospital or not.  With Cal and Cade as her older brothers, Bella is not YET the little princess we want her to be.  She loves playing with guns and out in the dirt with her brothers.  So for her party we decided to go PINK!  The boys picked her fresh pink flowers from the backyard.  We made pink cupcakes with butterfly sprinkles.  She wore her pink dress with butterflies and curled her hair nice and pretty.  About 10 minutes before we started her party the kids decided to have a water fight, so there went her curls.

Bella is reading us her card.

Her new doll Bell.

We sure love this little girl!  She loves to sing, dance, and color.  She is my little helper when it comes to taking care of the my things and the boys.  She brings me my belongings if they are not where they should be.  She loves to help with Dusty, she ALWAYS makes sure Dusty has his binkey and a blanket.  Her favorite thing though is hanging out with her big brothers and copying what ever they are doing!  

We love here to pieces!

Mother's Day Surprise #2

Remember this post 2 years ago?  (Our little Bella came a few days early and surprised us on Mother's Day.)

  Well, little brother did not want to be out done.  He made us WAIT 5 days and surprised us by coming on Mother's Day also!

Dusty Arnold Reeder

9 lbs 14 ounces - he is huge!

21 inches

Arnold is after my late Great Uncle Arnold, who passed away last May.

We love him.

The kids adore him.

Bella can not give him enough kisses.

He loves to be held.

He sleeps all day and parties at night.

 

Trip to Salt Lake

Aunt Tanya had the kids make Valentine arrows!  So cute, the kids loved them!

Peyton and Bella enjoyed a bath together with some crazy hair.

Casandra and I took the kids to a Fun Center.  Bella was afraid to go down the slides but soon warmed up to them.

Kylee spoiled her cousins by painting her finger and toe nails!

We loved seeing everybody and can't wait to go back, unfortunately not sure when that will be.
