Horseback Riding

We took the kids horseback riding at Grandpa Larry's house. Here is Carter, the first time on a horse...he was not thrilled.

Holding on to Dad for dear life!!!

Alix loved it and was grumpy when she had to let Carter take a turn again...he still wasn't happy about being the horse.

Grandma Bonnie and Holden hanging out

She's my little cowgirl!

Holden's blessing

We blessed Holden yesterday and everything turned out so great! I thought I'd post pictures from all three of my kids baby blessings. It's crazy how time flies and how things change!

We love our three kids and couldn't be happier :)

Our Summer So Far

We have had a crazy busy summer so far. Here are just a few pictures.

The kids playing in the rain (including Jeremy!) We have had a lot of rain this year!

Sitting on the front porch enjoying the rain

Jeremy teaching Alix to ride her new bike. She loves it and is so good at riding it already.

Any chance Alix gets she is outside or in the garage riding her bike. It is her favorite mode of transportation when we go to the park or the mailbox

Carter is trouble! I don't know what he was doing on the bookshelf but he thought he was so clever

Hanging out in the haystack. We were playing hide and seek. Alix is not very good at that game but she loves to play it. She usually hides until we stop counting and then when we say "Ready or not, here I come" she usually comes running out of her hiding place yelling "Here I am!"

This is my favorite picture of the summer so far. Alix and Carter are such cheesers and they both love their boots! I love my kiddos!

Happy Birthday Carter!

Carter turned one yesterday, happy birthday little man! We had a birthday party for him last Saturday at Grandma's and had so much fun!

We bought Carter a swing-set for his birthday. He loves the baby swing! I was pushing him in it yesterday and as soon as I took him out he sat down on the grass and cried because he wanted back in. Alix and Jeremy like the swings too.

Birthday Cake

Carter trucking around in his swimming suit. I think he spent more time out of the kiddie pools than in them.

He didn't eat very much of his cake, he mostly dug in it and threw it on Holden

Carter loves popsicles

On his birthday during breakfast Carter was entertaining us and himself by climbing in the pantry!

How adorable is this boy?? I just love him! He loves to play with Dad's hat

We went to the park and ate ice cream. It was extra tasty

Carter loved going down the slide. I had a hard time getting him to sit at the top long enough to take a picture of him.

Carter just liked wondering around in the grass. He looked so cute down there.

I had Mike send Carter down the slip n slide by himself. Am I a mean mom? I thought it was funny. Carter didn't.

It's a boy!

Well we had another boy! Holden Everett Farnsworth was born on Thursday, June 16th at 7:33 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long. He actually has hair too! We haven't taken a very good picture of his head yet but he has dark hair and almost as much as Carter does right now :)

This is one of my favorite pictures so far. We usually get one of Jeremy holding the baby while looking at each other and it's always my favorite!

Our cute little family of five! I can't believe we have three kids already

Proud big sister Alix. She thinks Holden is cute. She can't remember his name half the time. She usually calls him Alema

This was us right before we checked out of the hospital. I picked out Holden's outfit. I think it's pretty cute!

Snoozing on Grandma Nancy's lap

I feel like I have neglected Carter so I thought I'd post some pictures of him as well. He has been walking for about two months now, he is so crazy and into everything! He is a pro at getting around the house now. He loves Alix's wiggle car and she really likes to push him around on it.

I put Zoey's sunglasses on Carter. He liked it for about two seconds then he ripped them off his face and started chewing on them.

We went to St. George and stopped for a hike on the way home. Carter promptly sat down in the water and was soaked by the time we went to the car but he loved it.

Updated finally

Well it took me long enough but I have finally updated our blog. Sorry about all the pictures! I have been quite lazy the last 3 months. Being pregnant and having a 2 year old and a nine month old is really tiring, but I love my kids!

Christmas family picture after decorating the Farnsworth's Christmas tree

We spent a few evenings outside playing in the snow

Alix and Dad playing in the snow

They made snow angels and they actually turned out pretty good!

Our super awesome snowman. Jeremy did a fantastic job!

The fort we made was pretty rad too. It actually stayed up for quite awhile.

Christmas morning. I definitely did not get enough sleep the night before

Carter and Alix were completely spoiled! More by grandparents than by us but that's okay :)

Jeremy's birthday.

For Jeremy's birthday he and Mike and Amoree went to iflyutah at the Solomon Center in Ogden and did some simulated sky diving. Jeremy did awesome!

We went to St. George one weekend to visit my grandparents. Grandma really liked Jeremy's iPad so she and Alix sat on the couch playing the iPad and iPod. I'm surprised we got it away from her when we left ;)

We did a bit of hiking. It rained all day Saturday but it was still fun to get out and get some exercise and explore. Carter was happy as a clam bundled up in Jeremy's coat.

This is my little dare devil. He thinks he's big enough to do anything. You would never know the day before we took this picture Carter crashed face first into the bike he's standing on and gave himself a little black eye. I guess he wasn't going to be intimidated enough to leave the bike alone haha

We went camping this past weekend to Vernon Reservoir. Alix loves collecting rocks and Carter had a good time crawling around the tent getting into trouble

We actually ended up sleeping in the car. Our tent blew over at 3:30 am, it was way too windy so we put the seats down and I snuggled in the back with Carter and Alix while Jeremy slept in the driver's seat. It wasn't the most successful camping trip we've ever been on but we sure had fun!
