{A little fun...}

The kids always love to do any type of project so when I can think of something, we do it. This year for a little Easter fun, one day after school I let them have their friends over and we made little Easter egg nests....a cute idea I got Here. I melted some white chocolate and we dipped the pretzels then the nest building began! They loved it!

{Dance Recital 2011}

She was SO excited she got flowers from both grandmas!

Brylee had her dance recital back in April. She did a great job, we are so proud of her! I will have to post video later if I can figure out how:)

Payson turned 4!

Payson turned 4 March 23rd! Wow, I can't believe he is 4. He is growing up and is such a sweet boy. He is always so kind and has been such a Joy in our family. We had a little Spiderman Party for him. We did a "Web Walk"...it's like a cake walk:), made spiderman masks and ate pizza and spider cookies. When it came to opening his presents I had no idea who got him what because they were all so excited that everyone was helping him rip open all the gifts. He loved having a friend party. I would have to say that an hour is PLENTY of time;) I did an hour and a half and I was so ready for it to be over at the end. That many kids together can get a little crazy. He sure had a great day though! Love you Pays!

{little dolly}

Reese is such a little doll. I always call her little dolly, she is just so sweet. She is honestly the sweetest, best baby. So well natured. She sleeps so good still thank goodness and she is just so content. We love making her smile and the kids love to hold her. We are so glad she is here! I can't believe she is two months old already!my awesome friend Sarah makes these hats....SO CUTE! Bristolbaydesigns.etsy.com




Payson is such a good big brother and Reese sure loves him!

{Stuffed}

Every night I tuck Brylee into bed, we say prayers, I rub her back and turn on her primary music. She sometimes isn't that tired and I know she will play around with her stuffed animals before she falls asleep. Well this one night before I layed down to finally go to sleep I felt like I needed to check on her first. Well this is what I found....


Funniest thing ever! She had stuffed quite a few stuffed animals and dolls up her shirt and had fallen asleep. She was sweating! I honestly worry that if I hadn't checked on her she could have suffocated or something because those things were stuffed clear up to her neck. As you can see in the pics her mouth is not visible! Scary but so funny. I was laughing so hard taking these pics. And the sheets were being washed so that is why she is sleeping on a blanket. Funny girl. I check on her every night now after I tuck her in. Another night she had fallen asleep with a blanket wrapped up around her head and she was sweating so bad! Scary. I'm going to have to watch this silly girl.;)

{Reeses Pieces Lemon Squeezes}

(that flower is not that big but looks so big on her little tiny head:) )

Reese is now 3 1/2 weeks old! We just can't get enough of this girl! She is the sweetest baby. Most nights she sleeps 4-6 hours at a time so we aren't losing a ton of sleep like I had planned. I know that is bound to change though;) She hardly ever cries....only when hungry or cold. She doesn't love to have her clothes taken off but the minute she gets her warm bath she is so content and she really enjoys when I wash her hair. She always has this peaceful look about her, like she wants to smile and say something. I think Heavenly Father really knew what he was doing when he sent her to us. We needed a good baby because the other two have been quite a challenge lately!:) Anyways the name of this post is the nick name the kids gave to her before she was even born. It fits her well because she is so tiny we could just give her squeezes and loves all day long!

Reese's 1st {Photoshoot}





Little Reese had a photoshoot last week with Chantri. I love all the pics, they turned out so precious! We were blessed with a sweet baby that's for sure:)

I will update more soon. I left out a lot in the last post I've realized as I look back and read it.

Introducing....Reese Kelly Genta









It was 12:30 am on February 20 and we had just gotten to bed. I was laying on my side and had just fallen asleep when I felt something like a little trickle...then another one...then it started to run down my legs. I sat up and told Broc I think my water had broke. He jumped out of bed SO fast and I rushed into the bathroom as Broc grabbed me a towel and it gushed. Scariest thing ever because I was certain I was having a baby in my bathroom or in the car. Well we went to the hospital where thankfully Dr. Lovell was on call and I got checked in. They put on all the monitors and we waited and waited. I remember being so uncomfortable. Finally at 8 am I had them put me on PIT and give me my epidural because I was not progressing. After the PIT kicked in I finally started having contractions and had little miss Reese at about 1:38 pm. I was scheduled to have her yesterday but we are thankful she came on her own and have enjoyed her for over a week now! She is just perfect!
She was 6 lbs 13 oz and 18 inches long. She is petite and such a good baby. She never cries unless she is undressed. She has been sleeping so good at night and letting me get lots of sleep. Her dad just loves her and is so protective of her. Brylee and Payson have sure loved having a baby sis! We are just being really careful about visitors. RSV is really bad right now and we don't want her to get it so we are not allowing kids to come over for a while. It's hard to tell people that. I would just hate to see her get sick. I will update more later. It has been hard to sit down and blog because having 3 keeps me busy:)

So Blessed...

I have two of the cutest kids ever and I feel so blessed everyday (even on those horribly hard days) that I was BLESSED with them. I love these two SO much sometimes it overwhelms me. Does your heart ever flutter when you look at your kids because you love them so much? Mine does. And now we are about to add one more to the mix and I am so excited, anxious, nervous but feel so BLESSED that we get one more. Even Sophie is pretty sweet;) I'm nervous about a dog with a baby so we will see how that goes.

This pic was on V-Day before they headed off to school for their parties! So cute!

Baby Shower!

Crib bedding from my Mother in law and sister in law that will match Brylee's bedding...so cute!The tutus for baby girls are so fun! And those wings are adorable! Great picture outfit.




My friend Chantri threw me a baby shower last week and it was SO much fun and I just have to say that girls are so fun because the accessories and clothes are ridiculously cute. I got spoiled....Chantri threw the best shower. I can't believe the work she put into the decor and food. She is so great. I am so thankful to all who came, it was so fun! We are so excited for our baby girl to get here:) The kids are getting so excited and ask every day if she will be here soon. I have about 3 weeks left! They will induce me at 39 weeks if I haven't gone before then. So who knows....;)
