Baby Magic

Liam's cord fell off so he got to take a bath with big boy Nolan:) They both got a kick out of it and smelled good too!

Being Thankful

We made Thankful Turkeys to teach the kids about thanksgiving this year.  They wrote on each feather what they were thankful for....mickey mouse, Mama, Daddy, meat sandwhiches, toys, the kitty and snow were the most popular things:)

Snow!

It finally snowed in our part of Montana! Yay! The kids were really weirded out by it......the footprints they could make, how cold it was, how they could taste it and throw it, how they couldn't see the rocks anymore... they had a blast!

Two Weeks Old

Liam is two weeks old! He's so healthy and becoming more aware. 

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa

My Mom and Dad came to visit on the Wednesday after Liam was born.  We had lots of fun, went out and about and just enjoyed each other's company:) We miss being so close and seeing them everyday, so their visit was a special treat:)

Liam Robert Bush

Liam was born on November 3rd. He weighed 9lbs and was 20 and a half inches long.  He's our Montana boy!

Leaves and Dandelions

Stella, Caleb, and Nolan are AMAZED at all of the falling leaves and dandelions to blow!

Our very own park!

The kids are stoked about having a park around the corner from our house, that is pretty much exclusively theirs! It has a slide, swings and a merry-go-round! Yay for old people with no kids as neighbors! A park to ourselves:)

It's not THAT red

The kids keep saying that my hair is SOOOOO red. haha I wasn't going for anything drastic! 

Together

I'm so glad we came up here to be closer to Tim.  I missed him and so did the babies, being under so much stress in Arizona had really taken a toll on our closeness, if that makes sense?  It may be nothing like we are used to, but Tim loves his job and we are all happy to be together....and that's what really counts:)

Nolan turns 3!

Nolan turned 3 on the 17th:)  HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOLAN!  I can't believe he is already 3...the time has flown by! He is so smart and sweet and active:) He loves his brother and sister and loves to cuddle and kiss Mom and Dad. :)

He didn't know what to think of his cake and presents and everything:) We just learned he caught the Hand, Foot and Mouth virus from somewhere, so he had been a trooper all day!  A tool set, paints and coloring books and hot wheels occupied him(and Stella and Caleb) for the rest of the afternoon!

Its all so NEW up here!

New Germs(unfortunately)
Everything is new up here......Tim has a new job, Stella a new school, me a newfound appreciation for warm weather, a new ward family, a new town, new parks and stores, but I think this will all be for the better, we just have to adjust!

New Baby (soon)

New House

WOW ITS BEEN A WHILE!

The babies have grown so much since I last posted! My new PC doesnt have outlets to put a memory card in so I must figure out a way to post more pictures.  Caleb turned 3 on March 15th and he loved his birthday and all the people he loves in his little world were there.......he apparently waited until this milestone to start talking in English also......so sweet, my BIG BOY!  Stella turned 5 on the 27th, and it made us think about all the time that has gone by since she was born. She starts kindergarden this August, and is so bright and quick to get things...she doesn't miss a thing!  Nolan is eternally the baby, but is also getting bigger and more capable by the day.  He also is perfecting his climbing skills to one day be a mountaineer haha.
 I feel so blessed to have energetic kids, who get excited about new things....even the little things we do every day:)
   Tim started a new softball league that DOESNT play on Sunday, so that gives us more family time and i'm happy.  His painting business is also getting going, he just printed out some new business cards, and the whole,"word of mouth" referral thing seems to be working out quite well.
   I started going to the YMCA to work out and it's amazing how out of shape i've gotten sice High school.....but, there is babysitting while I sweat and it gives me some time to have a thought to myself.

HALLOWEEN!

Halloween was fun and now it is November and i'm glad.:)
Right after I posted last, I went to class and Tim sent me a text, saying that him and the kids went to Party City and they found Nolan a Superman costume. I was sorta jealous, but when I got home he was standing next to his fire truck with the cape on and it was adorable.   So, the day of, I got the kids ready while Tim was at work, went to the American Legion party, the fire house, and the Toys R Us parade.  We all came home and took a nap before going to trunk or treat and to Grandma's house at 6pm.  What a big day for such little people. lol.  Stella was a Scary Fairy, Caleb was a fireman, and Nolan was the super baby.  I'll post pics as soon as I can!

I'm Super Excited

I was talking to Ashley this morning, and she was stressing about Halloween and how it is THIS Saturday, and I thought, WOW! October has flown by for me, and luckily, I have Stella and Caleb's costumes all ready.  My Dad ordered the boys matching fireman costumes, but when they came in, Nolan's outfit looked like it would fit Caleb.  Stella is all hyped up to be a Scary Fairy, so I guess it's two down and one to go:)

Happy 1st Birthday Nolan!

I think he had more fun with the sink than with his new toys:)
