Family Photos

We needed to have some new family pictures with this cute sweet little girl.  So we had Megan Gnetting a girl from our ward meet us at the Smith Center to do our photos.

 We all just adore this sweet baby girl so much!!  She is 4 months old in these pictures and just cute as a button.  She was pretty tired though so it was hard to get her to smile normally she is the happiest baby around.  But she is pretty somber in some of these but still so adorable!  We love you Ella!

 These boys all adore their little sister.  Plus they are all such handsome boys!   They are getting big to fast.

 This is how most of our pictures turn out most kids not looking and making faces but still cute!

 Braxton is almost 9 years old in these pictures.  He is so smart and such a big helper.  He is really into studying maps right now.  You can ask him where anyplace in the world is and he would be able to tell you.  He reads an atlas for fun. 

 Corbin is so fun and sweet.  He can be the sweetest kid ever or turn evil.  He can have a Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde personality but he is getting better every day.  He is loving preschool and loves all his friends there. 

 We often refer to this guy as Mr. Personality  he loves to make faces and be the center of attention.  He loves to do things that get you to laugh.  He love following Corbin around he does everything Corbin does. 

End of the School year fun!

 We went to a little singing program Corbin class put on and it is so cute to see these little ones be so proud of their singing and showing us around their class room.  We also helped at Braxton field day at school so that was fun to see him with his friends.  It was pretty funny because I was walking with Dylan and Ella (Braxton and Corbin ran ahead), the art teacher stops me and asks is that Braxton Baldwin little brother pointing at Dylan.  It funny to me that people can just spot that immediately!  Those two do look a like, I have such cute boys!

 Corbin Preschool Graduation!!  These are all of his little buddies from the ward that he was able to go to school with so fun!  Chris, Mossimo, Corbin, Jack, and Luke.

 Corbin did great in preschool and loved everyday of it.  These two teachers were great and Corbin loved having them.  Thanks Mrs. Lori and Mrs. ?  I was really proud of Corbin and all his hard work he is getting so smart.

 Corbin with his best friend Chris Torres.  Such cute kids!

We have been spending time with each of the boys one on one. We let them stay up late the day of their birthday each month and play games with Mom and Dad.  Corbin chose to play Jenga then we decided to see how tall we could get the tower. 

Braxton was invited to the red carpet event for his award ceremony for school.  He received awards for working so hard.  This kid is doing great in school and we are proud of him.

Easter Trip

 Dylan was jumping on the tramp and he fell right out the door and head planted into the mud!  I could not help but take a picture.  There is a new all around the trap and he flies out the small little door.

 Braxton had his pinewood derby.  He got coolest design he had a minecraft car that turned out pretty cool.  They made these little cars our of treats so he was excited about that.

 Grandmas house!! The cousins were so excited to all sleep in the same bed.  When we went to check on them we took a picture because it was just a pile of bodies!  These kiddos love each other!

 This was the first time Ella was meeting some of the extended family!  We love this little girl! 

 We took the kids to this a Wacky bounce and of course they all loved it and had a great time.!

 We did some Easter egg hunts with Josh and his kids at the Clinton park.  Dylan made out like a bandit and got a ton of eggs in his group.

 We stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Thomas so they could meet sweet little Ellla.  They also had a Easter egg  hunt set up for the kiddos.

Little Ella is 4 Months old we were seeing how she looked in her new dress for pictures!

New house

We bought a new house!!!  We are so excited to finally be able to set down some roots!  We found the perfect house for us and it is on a half acre lot which is really hard to find in Las Vegas.  We love all the room.  it is 3800 sq ft and 6 bedrooms plus a nice big loft area for the kids to play in.   It has things we will change eventually but we really do love it!  We moved in March 27th 2015.  We put the pool fence up right away because we did not want to worry about the kids drowning in the pool. Which was a good thing because we were here cleaning the house and Corbin fell in the pool they did not even last one day.

 The dinning room, Kitchen, family room and foyer.

 The Master bedroom, Braxton room, the boys room and Ella's room.

We are so happy to be here.

Update!

 I took some pictures for Mothers day we sent the Grandma's a Garden of Roses!  Cute little Ella has enough hair for a pigtail!  So cute Love this happy girl! She is around 5 months old

 We went 4 wheeling with some friends the Sessions and the Snowdens.  Dylan loved the 4 wheelers and could not get enough of it!

 Falling asleep in random places and getting into trouble!  Dylan decided it would be fun to play in the water.

 We went to Bonnie Springs and went to the petting zoo!  Corbin loved all the animals he wanted to pet them and he could stay there all day.  I was not so sure this deer that is in the picture with Corbin wanted to eat me!  It would chase me around and try to eat my shirt!  Super annoying lets say I am not a fan of deer anymore.  Plus it was hard to get away because I was pushing Ella in the stroller and the ground is bumpy. 

 The kids had a lot of fun riding the train.

 Ella is growing so fast!  In the blue dress she is only 11 wks old and she looks so big already.  In the green outfit she is almost 4 months old.   Such a cute little girl we all love her!  She is so happy and fun!

Ella Blessing

Ella was blessed on February 1st, 2015 by her Dad.  Other people that were in the circle to bless her included Grandpa Thomas and Grandpa Baldwin, Uncle Brian, Bishop David Jennings, Kevin Nebeker and Don Bennion. 

 We love this sweet little girl so much and so does her Heavenly Father!  Her Blessing said: Ella, I wish you to know the great love your family has for you.  What a light and joy you are in our home.  Ella, your brothers are so excited to have a sister.  Ella, I bless you to be a light to the those around you.  I bless you that as you grow you will choose to be Baptized.  I bless you that as you become a young women that you will uphold the values of the Church.  Listen to your parents, grandparents and leaders to make good choices.  Ella, I bless you that you will be worth to serve a mission if you choose to.  I bless you to find a young man to take you to the temple.  Ella, be humble and full of faith, follow Jesus Christ.  I bless you to find the gifts and talents Heavenly Father gave you and to use those to bless those around you.

 Both Kevin and I bore our testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel.  I know I also shared how grateful I was that you made it here safely.  I know that you were blessed and we were guided as parents to have were we were supposed and to be with the right doctor to deliver you or you would not have made it.  I am so grateful for the promptings of the Holy Ghost because it can guide us and direct us to make the best choices we can.  We are so blessed to have such a sweet health little girl in our lives!  We all adore you Ella!

 The boys loving on their sweet sister!

 Mom and Dad so in love this little girl has us wrapped around her finger!

 It was so nice that the Grandparents were able to come out to visit and stay with us we are so grateful for family and the big support they are to us!

Enjoying Baby Ella!

 We all have loved having baby Ella in our family!  She is so sweet and cute the boys want to hold her all the time.  She is about 4 weeks old in these top pictures and we were just enjoying the night together as a family.

These are also pictures of Ella when she was just new!  But even at only a 1 month old she looks like she is 3 months old.  Where she was 9lbs 8 oz when she was born she never really seemed like a newborn!!  But she is so cute we just lover her.  I took a picture of her umbilical hernia next to my thumb to show how big it is.  The doctor said if it does not go away by the time she is two then she will have to have surgery on it.  It has started to go down so we will see what happens.

Ella is 6-8 weeks old in these pictures.  This girl is the happiest baby I have ever seen!  I know she is my easiest baby by far!!  It is not hard to get a smiling picture from her because most of the time all you have to do is talk to her and she will grin from ear to ear!  We are just so happy she is in our family and that we were blessed with this sweet spirit!  She adds a lot to our crazy family of boys!
