i love these guys!

i love how both of them don't want to take the picture and have their hands in their mouth!

ok, ok.. .i am terrible about putting away laundry after i wash it.. this is rylie in her crib with all the laundry i need to catch up on... ahhhh!!!

Rylie is officially 4 months old now..isn't she a cutie.. and i just want to add this dress cost me $2.73!

well at least devin is happy to take a picture!

ezra is trying to pick my mole off... rylie likes the attention!

oh what do you do in the summer time....

eating smores for breakfast... daddy's idea! thanks dad!
Rylie was not a fan of the swimming pool, infact she cried the whole time and slept... she even fell asleep looking mad

Colin passed the swim test!! he did such a good job and got to go down the slide.

Ms. Chloe or as she likes to be called Princess Chloe. When they were leaving this morning she asked me if I will just call her princess from now on.. these two are a hoot!

devin brushing up on his diving skills.

me and my little buddy

Ezra(21 months) Colin (almost 8) Chloe (5) Rylie (4 months)... good times!

apparently bunny was hot and needing to go swimming with ezra.

improvising with our toys.. he loves his new 'water slide'

we have had such a fun couple of days. the weather is starting to get a little on the hot side.. which i love because its not cold :) my cousin Tori and her kids came to visit. We have had a blast with them. Colin and Chloe are some of the funniest kids i've heard.. the things they come up with. We invited our friends the Newmans over with their kids and had hotdogs, yummy salad, chips, watermelon, and smores. That night Devin and Colin camped out on the trampoline and played video games. Chole and I painted her nails like a princess. and we went to the city pool and wore the kids out that way too. We love this family, they are the reason we met. Good time, good times!

summer lovin

Thought you all might want to see some pics i snapped today.. I know i know we have the cutest kids, you don't have to tell me twice :)

They sure are growing fast. Ezra LOVES being outside all day and as you an see has made a masterpiece in my backyard. Rylie is turning 4 months in just a couple days, i can hardly believe it!

If you all want to follow a fun blog of a cool missionary ( my brother) check out www.elderhine.blogspot.com He is in the MTC right now and is going to Panama City, Panama.

busy bees

Holy Cow, has it really been a month since i last blogged? i guess so b/c I'm last on all my friends updated blog lists. I really don't know where the month of April went.

Rylie is getting soo cute and fun, she is very interactive these days and loves to talk and smile and giggle at you. I can't believe she is 3 months old

Ezra, is still busy running from one place to the next. He loves being outside and coloring. He is very vocal but not very verbal still... what do you do? I wish he would talk, i know he can b/c he has then he just stops and never says the word again. He also got his first haircut 2 weeks ago ( after looking at the Easter pictures i realized his hair was a little out of control)

Devin is still really busy with school and work.. and now his new calling being in the YM's presidency and assistant scout master.. i can not wait until we are done with school!

We were able to go to NM to see my brother Ethan off before he left for his mission to Panama City, Panama. We are so proud of him and know he will be an awesome missionary. Ezra will miss Uncle E.
Other than that, its the same ol' same ol'. here are some Easter Pictures, i will try to get some more recent ones up soon.

Love ,

The Bakers

Ezra loves bunnies... the one in his hand is the one he has to have everynight before he goes to bed.

the best we could do with 2 cranky kids...

warning..LOTS OF PICTURES

We had a great time at the zoo on Monday with the kids, Aunt Tannis, Grandma Vance and Neva and Lynn. Rylie slept 90% of the time except when she wanted to eat.
Devin loved the string ray part of the day

of course we had to do a little rock climbing... Devin climbed it in 6.3 seconds.. Go Devin!

Ezra's favorite part was the water. We didn't know there was water to play in so he got to play in his diaper!

Tannis deserves the Best Aunt Award.. she loves our kids almost as much as we do.

would've been a cute picture of both of us, but of course Devin has to do his face.. but i love anyway :)

Grandma and Ezra in the play house

i love these pictures of Ezra and Dad.. they are best buds.

This weekend was Great! I wish i could have weekends like this every week.

Blessing Day

So i might be a little biased.. but i have some dang cute kids!

Today was Rylie's blessing day. The weather was beautiful, we had lots of family and friends come, and Rylie looked beautiful in her white dress that was worn by her great, great grandma. Devin's mom and husband came along with sweet Grandma Vance, on my side we had my mom and dad come, uncle Ethan, aunt Tannis, uncle Jayson and aunt Erica and of course Grandma and grandpa Trowbridge, and the ever so fabulous Aunt Anita. After the blessing we had a nice little lunch in and had lots of good food.

I love weekends like this where we can be by loved ones.

I'm thankful for families and that my husband was able to give a beautiful blessing. We have had a great weekend.

Mommy wow, I'm a big boy Now!

Playing in the blowup toys during family day for the Guard this last weekend.

My little boy is now a big boy.. yes Ezra is now in nursery! I can not believe it. I'm not going to lie we have looked forward to this Sunday for awhile now. He did great, not a tear shed. Infact they said he was sharing toys with the other kids. When I went to pick him up he had crayon in his mouth so obviously we need to work on that. I hope he always enjoys nursery. He is so cute and still just makes me laugh everynight before i go to bed, all i have to do is think of something he did during the day.
