Happy One Month Old B-Day!

Today Greyson is exactly 1 month old! I can't believe how fast time flies by once they are out of you and how slow it goes when they are in...CRAZY! Greyson is such a good little baby! He hardly fusses and when he does he is easy to please! So far anyway... We LOVE him SO MUCH! He has started to go a little longer between feedings at night, just the last few days, so that is GREAT for me ( if it lasts )!!! I will be even more greatful when he sleeps through the night. But we will take what we can get for now. Jade swears he smiled at her on Memorial day but I didn't see it so I am pretending that it didn't happen and that his first smile was yesterday morning for me. He smiled at me 4 times!!! :) I love that! We love you sweet baby!!!

My Fam...

This past weekend Rich had a gig in Jackson Hole and my family was having a little reunion with my mom's side of the family. So, I went home to Idaho for the weekend. This is a picture of my sweet Grandpa and Grandma Cochran, my mom's parents, with Greyson. This was the first time they saw him so I had to snap a pic. My mom and Misha at my brother's place.
This is a funny picture because I had gone outside to tell Saige that she had to get off the 4 wheeler because her cousin Mckay was giving her a ride on it but he is only a little over a year older than her and I had to explain that she can only have a ride with an adult. Well little Misha was in the house and came out to get me and I didn't know she was there,so she was running to get to me when my brothers dog came up and wet nosed her, she freaked out and was trying to get away from the dog and fell down. When I saw this happen I felt so sad for her but was also laughing because it was funny too. She, of course, didn't find any humor in it and was crying. So, when grandpa offered for her to ride on the lawn mower with him she stopped crying and was happy even though she doesn't look too happy in this picture. I think she was still a little sad about the dog trying to say hello... This is my oldest brother Justin. He is such a great guy. He loves to hold babies and was loving my little G-man. He ALWAYS takes time to play catch with Misha and is just so sweet to my kids. They love their uncle Justin. Both of my brothers are such great guys. They are so talented and HARD WORKING!!! I think they get that from my dad who has always been such a hard worker. They would do anything to help anyone out and I love them so much!

Every time we go to Bear Lake to visit my family Saige loves to ride horses. The horse she usually rides at my parents "Speckels" is getting old and has had a hurt leg so she hasn't been able to ride as much lately. This weekend Saige got to ride "Shorty" at my brother's place. Justin's wife Trinity is really good with horses and her kids rodeo and get to do all that fun stuff. Trinity took time to teach Saige to ride ALL BY HERSELF for the very first time! Saige was grinning from ear to ear. She even had Saige trotting on the horse by the time we left! Thanks for spending the time teaching her Trin! She was in heaven!!! We forgot her cowgirl boots so she was riding in sandals. Not the best for riding horses but oh well....
Misha had to go for a ride too and was loving it! "Put me on the horsey mommy" she kept saying over and over and over....
My niece Joshlyn on her birthday present. She will be turning 6 on Friday. Happy Birthday Joshy!!! When we got home Saige was asking for a horse of her own too. Sorry Saige! I don't think a horse would be a very good back yard pet...

One TIRED little girl...

Last week during all the BUSY-ness, Misha was so tired she just fell asleep on the couch one day. It was so funny because she had been playing and running around and then it was quiet... I went to check on her and found her like this... Then she moved like this...
Then this...

And finally ended up like this... It was so funny, she just kept changing sleep positions and kept right on sleeping. It was so funny every time I checked on her she would have moved into a different position but still just as asleep as can be! She changes her position at night a lot too. I will find her in the bum up position a lot and also other weird ways that just do not look comfy, but she seems to be as comfy as can be... What a CUTIE!! We love our little Misha Gwen!!!

One BUSY week!

This has been one crazy week with all of Saige's end of the year happenings. Monday was rehearsel for the dance recital on Tuesday night. It was fun to watch her perform and she did a great job. Marli was also so fun to watch and so funny! Rich has some video of it all, hopefully he will put together a little something for us to all enjoy! Saige had so much fun but was a little sad and disappointed with us because we were the loser parents that didn't get her flowers at the end of the recital. I actually had mentioned to Rich that we should get her some but it was a CRAZY day and we ran out of time. When she saw some of the other girls get flowers and she didn't she was pretty bummed and had to shed a few tears, or maybe ALOT of tears.... Sorry Saige! Maybe next year???!!! Saige and her cute little cousin Marli before their performances!
"Rockin Robin" "Tweedalede dee TWEET TWEET"!!! This is her second number, the first was "FABULOUS"!
Then today Saige had her kindergarten performance with her class singing a lot of cute songs they have learned throughout the year. Then her teacher gave out awards that she made and had thought up something for each child individually. Saige got the "BEST FRIEND" award! She has loved kindergarten and is sad for it to be over... I am glad that she loves school and hope that it continues to be that way for her. She is very smart and it is fun to hear her learning how to read and see how smart she is.
And tonight she had her performance night for gymnastics with her favorite teacher of all "Miss Jade" who is also her Aunt Jade. She is getting better at her cartwheels and hand stands. We will have to keep practicing but it has been fun to watch her improvement over the year. This is Saige and her friend Emma who was in her class with her. Saige was SO excited to get a trophy! As we were leaving she said "I can't believe I won my first trophy!" It has been a busy but fun week watching Saige in all of her activities! She has kept us busy and I am glad that she enjoyed it all so much. I am looking forward to summer break for a little less busy-ness, the only thing we are signed up for so far is swimming lessons... and I am looking forward to not having to get up and get her ready for school...I am tired!!!! This newborn schedule that we are on with the nighttime feedings is making me SO sleepy! But we love it all!!!! :)

Jade Bishoff..............Payback is Bliss!

I knew someday I would find a great picture to post of Jade, as she has posted several great pictures of Todd and I.

What happened to your chin Jade, did you get tripped in the hall way at school? Regardless of the nerd she was in school, she is a pretty cool sis in law and would probably give you the shirt off her back or a pair of big framed glasses if you needed them. Peace Jade.

Mother's Day

My 3 little cuties all snugglin in bed with us in the morning. Saige and Misha thought they were so funny using their pajama pants as "HAIR"! They are so funny!
Our little G-man! I just had to throw in a couple pics of this cute little guy! He will already be 2 weeks old tomorrow! :( How time flies once they are out of the womb!!!

We went to Grandma Great's in Smithfield for Mother's Day! We had dinner there and the kids played some baseball and had some ice cream...
I struggle, I couldn't figure out how to turn this picture. Maybe Rich can help me. I think I was suppose to do it before posting it, not after...Notice, Misha's got some bangs now, she had a whole bunch of little hairs that were new growth and some breakage, so I just decided to make it look like it was suppose to be there and gave her a haircut!



"We will share with you Dalton, Here you go"! It was so cute watching these girls sharing there ice cream cones with Dalton and Ashton. Sorry Callee! I hope you don't mind the sharing of ice cream slobber! The kids certainly didn't seem to mind, They were LOVING it!!! I don't think anyone is sick right now so it's all good!

One Sweet Baby!

Greyson is such a sweet baby! He is so snuggly and cute! We are in LOVE with him!!!
I love BABY feet! He has got some pretty big feet for such a little guy with some LONG ol Toes!
I love when he scrunches up his little legs and mini buns up into the frog position! So SWEET!!!
And his big sisters are Constantly giving him KISSES and HUGS!!! They can't get enough of him! Neither can I! I find myself just wanting to hold him all the time and I am so sad that this little newborn phase goes by so quickly! I am just trying to enjoy EVERY minute!!! Well, except for the every 2 1/2 - 3 hour nighttime feedings! If he could get to every 4 hours that would be nice... But we are loving this little guy!!!
