1 month

A few weekends ago we went to a new water park. The kids had fun.

Bennett was one month old on the 22nd of May. He is a good little thing. We have been working out some stomach issues & such but overall he is peaceful & content. He is sleeping longer at night which is a blessing for me & he is taking some naps in his bed though we are far from a schedule or anything. It is all random right now but I take what I can get. He loves his Binky & snuggling with blankets. He is very patient with all the love from his siblings and believe me it is a lot. Jill is great & Carter is actually very gentle with him also. They love to talk to him & tell him all the things he will get to do when he is older like eat oatmeal & read books.

Tonight the kids are having a camp out. Christian told the kids about when he was little and would sleep on his parents balcony with his siblings. The kids have been dying to try it for a year now & tonight is the night. We decided it was a good time because it is nice & warm but not too hot yet. Also, Christian has tomorrow off so it is ok if he doesn't get much sleep. He was planning to sleep on our balcony with the kids but the tent is too small & the ground is very hard. As you can tell by the pictures they are very excited about their camp out. Bennett tried it out with them for a minute but decided his bed was more comfortable :). Mine too!

Loving our baby!

The kids really love Bennett. They love to talk to him, try to tickle him & give him his binky! I keep telling them it will be a few months before he will be playful with them but they are not deterred by his lack of response nor his sleeping though their efforts. I, on the other hand, wish they would not try so hard to entertain him when he is sleeping!!

Bennett is 3 weeks old now. He is a pretty good baby. He sleeps a lot during the day & even pretty well at night. We usually are up for a few feedings but I am functioning much better on broken sleep than I normally do. He enjoys his bath & is very patient with his brother & sister's loves.

Highland dancing

Jillian started taking Highland Dancing lessons a few months ago from a girl in our ward. She really likes it and danced in her first recital last night. She looked very cute in her kilt & did a great job with the dances. It was just for fun and each of the girls got a certificate which Jillian thought was very exciting, but not as exciting as the treats after the show!

Mother's Day

I had a nice Mother's day which included a yummy breakfast, nice presents & lots of love.
