Carrots, Cookies, and Sibling Fear

Many months ago as I sat here and read about all the marvelous gardens being put into effect at your homes, I had the gardening urge myself. I live in an apartment with just a litte piece of rocky dirt infront. Well I de-rocked the area and planted flowers and some carrots and green onions. Mind you I was eight months pregnant when I got this brillant idea but recently have been able to reap the rewards . . . so it was my first gardening experience and I learned a whole heap. For instance you need to thin carrots out or they can't grow very big and you get a whole bunch of little funny looking baby carrots! Despite my mistakes I'm very proud of my first attempt and hope to enjoy many years of veggies!!

My parents were able to come up a little bit ago and we made some Halloween sugar cookies. We love it when they come up!!




And yes today my baby is four months old, where does the time go?? He is rolling, smiling, and laughing a lot! We love it. His fear for Kyler has also increased. Now Kyler just has to approach for Eldon to burst out into tears . . . I hope that he gets over it or it's going to make growing up a little awkward since Kyler isn't going any where.

Ready for church in the sweater my Father wore when he was a baby.

Enjoying his first rice cereal . . .maybe "enjoying" isn't the right word based on his facial expression.

How Blessed is Sleep

One of the things that I love about newborns is how they sleep! It can be anywhere, any time, and the best in any position. Here are some of Eldon's sleeping positions. Also just a happy side note, Eldon sleeps through the night!! Yahoo!! Man Kyler didn't even start completely sleeping through the night until he was six months. So it is pretty great! He sleeps from 10:30 to 7:30.
Whenever asleep on the floor or my bed he always sleeps with arms up and legs out!
Falling asleep with Papa.
Falling asleep during scripture study. Nasty habit!
Already falling asleep when his parents are trying to talk to him. Travis put him in that outfit!
Eldon sleeping in Kylers bed, the Spiderman pillow was just tooo tempting!
