May Trivia

How do you give a two month old a haircut? Very carefully! Seriously...this was not an easy task.

How do you entertain a four year old? Give him a bucket and a sponge. 35 minutes of pure joy for Drew!

What does a nine year old do to pass the time? Find a five leaf clover! No kidding - I don't know if you can tell, but there really are five leaves on there. And they're not taped on.


What makes a seven year old give their mom a great big smile? Hitting, running, and sliding into the dirt.

What makes all the kids jump up and down on mother's day? Giving their excited mom a big mother's day surprise! Now we'll get a trailer and we can all have a fun day on the trails! Can't wait to enjoy beauty of the river trails with all the family!


What does a really cute three month old look like?

THIS!

2 Months!

Easton is now two months old. He is a joy in our home. None of us can get enough Easton. On Tuesday he had his two month check-up. He weighed in at 11 lbs. 12 oz. and is 23 and 1/2 inches long. He now smiles and coos at us. He is starting to sleep at night for about 7-8 hours. It is so awesome!

The Loves of my life

At family scripture last night we talked about how when we have true joy in our lives we want to share that with others. We discussed an ancient prophet from the Book of Mormon named Lehi who had the most desireable fruit (or joy). Once he had that experience he immediately looked around to see where his family was to share it with them. When we have the best of days or the worst of days the people we want around us and to share those emotions with are our family. We discussed how blessed we are that our very best friends live right here in our own home. I know that the best times I have are with my Mr. Hamilton and my kids. And when I struggle they are who stand beside and help to carry me through.

Easton Being Cute

I love when Easton "talks" to us! It is such a fun stage.

I can see!

At the end of January we got a letter from Dallin's school that told us Dallin had to have his eyes checked out. So off we went to the eye doctor and sure enough Dallin really needed glasses. I felt terrible, but the doctor reassured us that it was typical for the parents to not know. Dallin just figured that was how you saw things, and that there wasn't anything different about how he sees verses how others see. His glasses arrived in the middle of February. The glasses have been amazing. Dallin loves what he sees! He can't believe all the things he has been missing.

One Month Old

Here are some pictures we've taken of Easton in the last couple of weeks. It seems with my other boys the first 4-6 weeks kind of dragged on, but with Easton the weeks have gone very quickly. He'll be 5 weeks on Saturday.

I took this picture this morning. Check out the hair!

These two picturs were taken on March 11.

Little Man Turns 9

Mason had his 9th birthday a couple of weeks ago! We celebrated as a family with dinner at Panera, dessert from Cheesecake Factory, presents, and a trip to Mason's favorite park! It was a great time together as a family.
Mason is a great kid! He is really developing a sense of humor (and uses sarcarsm quite well too). It is so much fun to really have conversations with your kids. He loves music and is an amazing piano player. I am in awe of his natural talent.
I know that Mason loves his brothers and watches out for them. He is so good with Easton and helps me out a lot with Easton. It has been a joy to watch Mason hold and protect his little baby brother.
Mason your amazing!

Mason's first birthday.

Mason loves Star Wars and legos!
