Here is Sterling (Sunday September 7th) at seven weeks old.  He is a little man.  He is a good baby and doing quite well sleeping at night!  I hope it just keeps on getting better.  Most nights he is up once sometimes twice, usually just long enough to eat and be put back down.  Cross my fingers and knock on wood, I want him to keep up the great job!

Sterling is smiling tons and quite cuddly.  The kids are very fond of their baby brother.

Sterling loves being outside.  Stroller rides are great and being held is even better.  With the cooler weather we are spending lots of time outside.  Bridget even figured out how to peddle the trike (it helps that she can reach the peddles now:).

The pictures are from last Wednesday.  It has been super busy around here.  Check out what the boys have been up to.

Calvin and Logan helping to pick peaches.  They are not all ripe so we still have lots of peaches to enjoy!

Kimball earned his Bobcat award in Cub Scouts.

It has been a busy week.  Calvin started Kindergarten, so now I have 2 boys to get ready for school every morning!  He is loving school and feeling so big now.  Logan and Bridget have started playing well while the older boys are at school.  Sterling is growing fast and he is alert.  Car rides get unpleasant, he is not too fond of being strapped in his car seat, but for the most part he is a good baby.

Sterling meets Great Grandpa Pratt on August 20th, he is one month old.  By the way, Logan was the photographer!

Calvin took this picture of me holding Sterling.  This was Sunday after Church.  I am amazed Sterling is already 5 weeks old and growing so quick.

Sterling admiring his frog toy.  He has started noticing the toys!

Good morning!  Mornings are happy times for Sterling.  He is all smiles and very cooperative to let the kids hold him.  Exciting times.

Big news…we bought a Suburban.  We test drove it on Monday.  The kids really liked the rear AC and more space.  We debated buying it…and here we are just home from the dealer.  We are the proud owners of our own tow vehicle!

Just a few pictures from this week! Sterling is one month old today. Here he is all decked out for Church.

Monday was the first day of School. Kimball is in 3rd grade and Calvin will officially start Kindergarten next week! He is so excited.

Sterling even got dressed for the first day of school. Bridget loves to dress all of her dolls in Sterling’s clothes, so there is competition for the baby outfits!

Check out the gorgeous roses and cute kids!

Yesterday was a special day for our family! Kimball was baptized by Ammon, confirmed by Grandpa Diether, and Sterling was blessed by Grandpa Rowbury. It was wonderful to have so much family join with us for the eventful occasion. Thank you for being a fabulous family!

Our “big” family!

Kimball and Sterling, It is your day!

Grandparents, parents and boys.

We truly enjoyed everyone joining us for lunch and visiting afterwards. It was a great day with family. Families are the best.

So, I have many pictures and it is hard to choose which few to share!  These are the winning pictures of the week…watch for more to come!

Bridget is quite the little mother.  Her dolls are even getting tons of attention.  She can use more diapers on her dolls (and much to my dismay, more diaper medicine) in 10 minutes of alone time than I could ever imagine.  She is quite the little helper with Sterling.  On Friday, I let her give Sterling stroller rides around the house.  Oh what Joy!

All of the kids really love their new brother.  He is 2 weeks old today!
