Week 6 to Week 7

I feel like Cambridge really changed a lot between 6 weeks old, and 7 weeks.  He became increasingly more alert, started spitting up YUCK, starting "talking" but it's still really rare... (can you see how much Hadley adores him!) 

He even gave me his 1st smile on November 19th while I was singing "I am a child of god" to him.  Priceless moment. 

He still loves being wrapped like a burrito. 

Hadley usually calls him her Cambridge Buddy.  He is growing FAST! 

The Candy Windows are BACK!

November 17th, while downtown SLC taking some family pictures, we took a detour to enjoyed the ZCMI or now Macy's Candy Windows!!  This was alwasy a tradition growing up.  We always went to see the candy windows downtown!  I'm so glad the tradition is back so I can share it with my kiddos!

Poetry Contest!

Out of all the AM and PM kindergartners,  Boston was the only one chosen to perform in the school's poetry assembly!  He was really nervous standing on a stage in front of the entire school...  He did great though!  I was so very proud of him!  It was a great Mommy pay day!

My Hard Workers...

 

While Cambridge and I watched from inside... my kids were hard at work shoveling our driveway for us! 

Such great helpers!

Then they decided to have a little fun too! 

I'm so glad my kids love snow as much as I do! 

Our Cambridge Buddy

Growing Faster then a weed!  He is such a good baby!  My best sleeper!  He sleeps, but wakes up every three hours to eat, right on the dot!  He doesn't spit up either! 

Cambridge's Baby Blessing

On November 4th, exactly 1 month since he was born we were able to bless Cambridge at church.

 

Hadley didn't want to be left out of his pre-blessing photo shoot! 

 

3 kiddos ready for a special day at church!

 

He recieved a wonderful blessing, and we were so lucky to have so many of our family and friends there to support us.  It really meant the world to me.

Afterwards we celebrated Cambridge's special day with a little lunch and conversation!

We are so very lucky to have this little guy in our family!

FLASHBACK to July

Back in July we had the 1st ever Rogers Family Reunion at Bear Lake and we took some family pictures!  We just got them back, and I wanted to share! I didn't think it was very fun having my picture taken while 7 months pregnant, but you have to embrace the rare opportunity of everyone being together!

The whole family 

Jeremy's Mom and Dad with all 15 grandchildren (By the end of January they will have 18!)

I can not believe how different Hadley looked just 4 months ago...crazy!

Halloween!

Our Halloween started bright and early with Boston's school parade starting at 8:30am!

Hadley with her Nursery buddies waiting for their siblings... 

There is the crazy Iron Man! 

Boston was such a ham in the parade!  Boston had a class Halloween party and he was done with school by 10:00am! 

We went home and relaxed a little then headed got ready to go vist Jeremy's work!  The kids posed so nicely for me... but my camera decided to quiet working... so I used my phone. 

We had a great time visiting Jeremy and eating lunch at his work.  He did a spoof on Mitt Romney... Check FB for the video. 

At night the kids and I headed out to Jeremy's brother's house for their annual Halloween Party!  We had a lot of fun, and the kids loved going trick or treating with all their cousins!
It really was a Happy Halloween! 

Our Little Pumpkins

For our Family Home Evening Activity we carved our little pumpkins we grew in our garden! 

We gutted them 

Carved them (Boston did his all on his own this year!) 

Were so proud of them 

Displayed them! 

Nightmare Express

On Saturday night we headed over to take a ride on the Nightmare Express! 

This is the cute little Engine and the not so cute driver!
 

Riding the train... it takes you through a bunch of tunnels that are "Haunted." 

If you go before dark it's more kid friendly! 

Not to my surprise Hadley was way braver then Boston... but they both had a lot of fun! 

Cowgirl Hadley

Our Hadley Boo loves to dress up!  Jeremy caught a picture of her as a cowgirl!
 

She has adjusted so well to being a big sister.  She calls Cambridge "Baby Cakes."  She is so stinkin' cute with him!

Boston....1st Kiss?

On October 22nd I almost wrecked my car... why you ask? Because as I was pulling away from the Elementary school I saw a little girl lean over and kiss my Boston on the cheek!! AAAHHHH!!!!!  I might have freaked out just a little.  I inquired about it later and all Boston could say was "She was trying to distract me."

The other night I walked in to Boston's room to find him sleeping with a book on his head! 

 

Oh man.  I love this boy.
