Blake- six weeks old

This little guy is growing up way too fast! Isn't he just the cutest little thing?

Seven years!

Happy Anniversary Honey! I love you so much. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to you. Thanks for everything you do for me and the boys! You are the best. Love, Em

Tia comes to visit

Last week my little sister, Tia came to hang out with us for a few days. It was so fun having her! I think Parker is in love, and still can't stop saying her name. She played with Parker at this fun jumping place out here and Park had a blast. Here are some pictures of her with the boys. We are really going to miss you when you go on your mission Tia!

Wildlife museum

Since it's been so hot here, we decided to take the boys to do something fun and indoor. We went to the wildlife museum and Parker loved it so much that we bought an annual pass. Blake just slept in the baby bjorn. Maybe by next year he'll like it too.

More pictures of the boys...

I got the disc of all of the images from the photographer, and there are some really cute ones. These little guys are so much fun! Here are a few more of my favorite shots. They all blow up bigger if you click on them too.

Blakey

We had Blake's pictures taken last Saturday. It was so much fun! I wish that Parker would have been more cooperative for the pics, but he woke up with a fever and was totally miserable all day. Oh well, I am just glad we were able to catch Blake in all his newborn cuteness. The photographer put this one picture up on her blog today from the photo shoot and it is adorable! I can't wait to see the rest of them!

Blake's first week

Blake is such a little angel! He is the most content little guy and just quietly looks around or sleeps until he needs to be fed again, so I still get lots of one on one Parker time. Blake is a great sleeper at night, so you would think we'd be getting lots of sleep too.... but, Parker has started to get up every night with night/sleep terrors, and NOTHING will calm him down. Has anyone else ever had to deal with these with their kids??? Let me know what to do. I am getting really sleep deprived:) Besides the sleeping issues, we are doing great and Chad and I are absolutely loving life with our two little boys. I can't believe that little Blake is already over a week old! He is growing up way too fast.

Happy 4th of July!

Blake and I came home from the hospital on the 3rd, my mom's birthday, and got to spend the whole holiday weekend at home, with a lot of my family who came in town to help us out. We had a fun 4th of July playing with the baby. That night we lit fireworks in on the street in front of our house. Parker couldn't get enough of them, and kept asking for more. Hope everyone had a fun holiday weekend!

Brotherly love

Parker has had such a fun time playing with family that has been in town. During the birth, he got to stay home with my little brother Matt and he had the time of his life with him. That night, Park came to the hospital to meet his new baby brother. He was interested for about 5 seconds, and then spent the rest of his time drinking from my water jug, which apparently is much more exciting. We love our little boys and can't wait for them to become best little friends.

Blake Matthew Burnham

Little Blake was born on July 2nd at 2:02pm. He surprised us by being a whopping 8 lbs, 8 oz. The birth was so pleasant, and easy. My epidural was perfect, I had great support with Chad, my mom and Tia in the room, everything went really quick and smoothly and Blake made his entrance with only one push. I think I got pretty lucky. The whole experience was so special and spiritual. I love that I get to be a mom and bring these tiny spirits into the world. To top it all off, Blake is the cutest little guy with black, wavy hair and perfect little features. He resembles Parker, but definitely has his own look. Here are some pictures from the birth:
