The Blakester's

My dear friend Kori has a baby boy named Blake that is 4 days older than our Blake. She came into town the first weekend of February and I was so excited to see her. We kept laughing at how different our boy's are.  Her son is so big and chubby and has this deep little voice. Mine is so short and chubby with a higher pitched voice. They are both such cute little guy's! 

This is Blake's favorite way to take a nap. Notice how the blanket is up by his head and he's holding on to it? I joke that we have our own little Linus from Charlie Brown. I love that he loves to snuggle with him's blankie!

Little one's

“Parents, remember that now is your opportunity.
You may feel yourself harassed as you struggle through the days with children,
but you are living the happiest and most golden years of your life.
As you tuck them into their beds at night, please be kind to them.
Let them hear a kind voice amid all the angry, vile voices that they
will hear throughout life.
Let there be an anchor to which these little ones can turn when all else fails.
The Lord help you do so…” ~Harold B. Lee


I had to steal this from my friend Erin's blog. It really made me stop and think. I am terrible at putting my kids to bed and not being a very nice mom about it. I take out my long day and my need for them to be in their rooms so I can have some quiet time take over way to often. I'm going to strive to be better about the goodnight routine and remember that they are only little for a little while!

It's a Boy!!!

This sweet little chubalicious boy is ours for the adopting!!!

We are so excited we can't stop smiling!
