2 Months ...

A couple week ago Tinley turn 2 months old. Last week we went for her check up and she gotten to be quite the big girl. She now is weighing in a 10 lbs 4 oz and is 22 inches. She is marking at the 50% in all categories. Tinley is doing great. She is one happy girl too. She just started smiling and cooing. Sometime she has quite the story to tell. She just loves her Grandpa too. When ever he gets near she just brightens up and smiles and talks to him as if they were have a full on conversation. They are best buds. Grandpa calls her his little girlfriend, it's pretty cute.

Loves her Grandpa!

Hanging out with her brother!

I love taking pics of Tinley and then finding almost the exact same one I took of Broxton around the same age. It is so fun to see how similar they are. It's a true fact, Tinley is just a girl version of her brother. (the pic below of Tinley is after her 2 month appointment. She got her shots and she got those cool pink camo band-aides)

Family Reunion & a Blessing.....

This last weekend we had our Weaver Family Reunion. It was so much fun. We all got together at a park wore our Weaver Family Reunion t-shirts, played games,kids played in the water and on the toys, and we eat great food. Then the next day we all went to a hot springs pool and swam, and then headed to our cousin's house and had a big BBQ with all the fixins. We played more games and hung out and then we had a big birthday cake to celebrate all the summer birthdays, the kids put on a puppet show and then we did a play that my Aunt Teressa put together about our ancestors. It was really fun learning about how the Weaver Family came to be and how our ancestors lived and how we got to where we are today.

A very special thanks goes out to my Aunt Teressa and my Mom
for putting together such a great family reunion and getting us all together.

The whole clan!

After the older kids did their puppet show,
Broxton did his own puppet show all by himself.
It was so cute!

Then on Sunday (July 10, 2011) our baby girl was Blessed. Her Uncle Mikey blessed her and it was so wonderful. There is something so special about a Blessing and having your little receive their name... the name that they will be known by for the rest of their lives. It was also special because Tinley wore the same Blessing dress that my mom and I wore on our Blessing day. Aunt Danielle got Tinley her bracelet too. It is a special tradition that she wanted to do for Tinley... get her a bracelet for her to wear on the 3 most important days in a little girl's life.... her Blessing day, Baptism day, and her wedding day. It was such a wonderful day and Tinley looked so beautiful.

Below are my babies on their Blessing day!
These pictures are so special to me. I just love them.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a wonderful 4th of July this year. We spent the day at Grandma & Grandpa's with Brody's aunt & cousins. We all went to the 4th of July parade, got milkshakes, swam, had a BBQ, played games, lit fireworks, and had dessert. It was a really fun day. I am so proud to be an American and to live in a land where we are free and I am so thankful for the men and women who serve our country day in and day out to keep us free.

Summer and a Wedding...

So Summer is officially here. We have had such a great time so far and it has only just begun.....

June has been very eventful! We celebrated our anniversary. 4 years already and I cant wait to spend the next Forever with my husband! I am the luckiest girl... I am married to the most wonderful & handsome man who is an amazing husband and fantastic father to our children. We had such a wonderful anniversary. The kids stayed with Nama & Taos while Brody and I went out to dinner at the Olive Garden and then to the Tim McGraw concert. It was AWESOME!! This was our first time leaving Tinley but we did good. She and Broxton had a great time playing with Nama & Taos.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE! I LOVE YOU!

We have gone ice-blocking and we got a new car. Ice-blocking was so fun. We went with Brody's cousin's and Dad. It was their first time and I think they had a fun time. Broxton even went down on a tiny little bump on the hill by himself. Dad was right behind him pushing him.
I love our new car. We got rid of our Jetta because there is absolutely no room for 2 car seats in the back without the driver and passenger basically sitting on the dash of the car and the 2 double stroller wouldn't fit in the trunk. It was horribly cramped so we got a little bigger car. We all love our new car. One Saturday morning Brox had to go outside with his Dad and wash the car. He was so excited he didn't even want to change out of his jammies.





Brody's brother Tyson got married too. It was a wonderful evening wedding and Malia looked beautiful and we are so excited to have her in our family. Broxton was their little ring bearer. He did a great job. We practiced and practiced with him cause we thought that he might not want to or do something silly like throw the ring box but he didn't. He walked down the isle and even handed the ring box to Uncle Ty. He was so cute. Malia's mom and aunts made all the little girls in their family matching dresses and they even made Tinley one. She looked so pretty. Right after the wedding was the reception full of love songs, food, and a very fun candy bar. My favorite thing was the cupcake ice cream cones (which I am so going to make) and the fortune cookie treat. I loved the saying on the bag of the cookie, so cute and romantic. I think it would be an awesome saying on the wall of a living room.

CONGRATULATIONS TY & MALIA

The Awesome Park....

The weather has been so nice lately, so we have been trying to do as much as we can outside. One day we decided to go to the park and let Broxton play and walk around in the sunshine with Tinley (her first time to the park). This park was pretty neat, it actually had little water fountains for little kids and jungle gyms , swings, horseshoe pits, these big musical toys and much more. It was so fun. Brox loved running around with his Dad. We are definitely going back for sure and next time Brox can wear his swim trunks and then maybe he will like the water more (I doubt he will, but maybe.)

The awesome fountains at the park.

Broxton loves his sunglasses. Always has to have them on outside, especially if Dad has his on. He doesn't even care that they are a little big and fold down his ears.

Tinley's first time to the park. (3 weeks old)


There were tons of toys and Broxtons favorite thing to do was go up and down these stairs.



Playing with Dad.



The musical toys.

MY CUTE KIDS.....

I had these matching t-shirts made before Tinley was born and now they can finally wear them. Broxton actually got to wear his the day after Tinley was born... he wore it to the hospital. I am just in love with these two little ones and I am so glad that they are mine.

*Broxton wouldn't let me take a picture by himself with his shirt so we only got one on Tinley alone.

THE MONTH OF MAY...

May was such a great month. We had so many fun things happen, the biggest of which is having Tinley join our little family. 3 weeks old now, she is getting so big. Broxton just loves having Tinley around. I cant wait to watch my two little children grow up together and be the best of friends. I love them so much and I am so thankful for them and that I get to be their mom.

BROXTON:
Brox will be 2 1/2 years next week. He is getting so big. He is talking a lot and putting more words into sentences. We can understand him more now but he still babbles tons. Brox can say things like Dad and Momma, Taos, Jace, thanks, please, Toy Story (his favorite movie is Toy Story 2), cool car, hang loose, treat, Cars, school (if you ask him if he wants to go see Nama & Papa he will say Taos. Then he stops and thinks for a minutes and will say Taos school), yes & no.
He knows who is a boy and who is a girl. He knows how to do I love you in sign language and shaka. He loves putting puzzles together and reading books. He loves to play in his room with his toys and listening to music. He got his 1st cd (the soundtrack to the movie RIO) and he jumps around his room dancing & listening to his music. He loves golfing with his dad and playing and sports outside. He loves to help his dad mow the lawn too. He gets out his little lawn mower and goes right along with him.

Below are some of the funny things he says.
Money = basketball
Doe = football
Mouse Ho Ho = Mickey Mouse Christmas movie
pop pop pop = popcorn
Tinee Gorl = Tinley Girl
Ty Ty = Uncle Ty
Roe Roes = dog (Roe Roe is the sound they make when they bark so that is what he calls them. If you ask him if he wants to go over to see Grandma & Grandpa's he will say Roe Roes. He did just learn to say Grandma and Grandpa's dogs names Cash & Bungy(Bunny)
Goosh = move or come on
cool water = cold water
cheese = mac & cheese


TINLEY:
Tin is 3 weeks old. She sleeps great, eats ever 4 hours and hardly ever cries, she just makes grunting noises. She loves her bath and laying on the floor. She is keeping her eyes open a lot more and she will turn towards the sounds of your voice especially Broxtons.

My boys!
Me and my baby girl

Also this month Little Jace turned 1 on May 11th. He had a very fun monkey party and got lots of wonderful things. I cant believe he is a year now. He also started walking which we are so excited for because now he can keep up with Broxton and Uncle Taos.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JACE!

For Memorial Day we went up to see Grandpa Weaver and take him some flowers. Broxton brought him a flag pin wheel. We had to get 2 of them at the store because Brox wanted to keep one and then give on to Grandpa. I love going and seeing my Grandpa. I sure do miss him so much and wish that he were still here to see my little family.

Now its time for summer, warm weather, family BBQ's, 4th of July, and Tyson & Malia's wedding. Brody's brother is getting married in a few weeks and we are so excited to have Malia join the Chaplin family.
