Russell is getting so stinking cute!

Here are some cute pictures of baby Russell.
Play time.
I love seeing Sadie play with Russell!!
He is getting more and more interested in her and I LOVE it.
He loves it too until she knocks him over but he is getting tougher.

Earlier today we had some potty training which includes naked time.
Toby strategically placed some clovers.  HEHE.
Then we got some great smiles.
Oh that face.


I can't figure out how I could have a bad day with this face around me all day.  He is just such a happy healthy baby!  He has a Dr. Apt in about a week so we will get to see just how healthy.
Oh he kills me!!!  I look at pictures of babies for advertisements and I think that 90% of the time Russell is cuter.  What do you think?

Russell's church suit.  Morgan lent me some clothes until Landon is big enough.
He looks so handsome.  He is already a lady killer.  All the ladies at church just gush over him.  So do Grammy and I .

Here are a bunch of pictures that I took with Toby's new phone.  I was having some fun and Russell just sat out there on the grass for about 45 min.  He really loves being outside.  I just know he is going to be our nature boy and I am not complaining.












These pictures were taken on the 1st of September and the ones at the beginning of this post were taken today.  I can see a difference of how much he has grown in just a couple of weeks.

Mom's Birthday and 4 Generation Pictures

We all have been really wanting to try Costco's chocolate cake so we thought that my mom's birthday was a great reason to get it.  It was YUMMY but there was a lot of it.

Yes my mom turned 29.  I know it's weird how she is only a couple of years older then Morgan but that is how old she said she was.
Raelin and Ryker helping Grammy blow out her candles.
There was an ongoing theme at this party...
Chocolate faces!!!
With these two growing a mile a minute I try to get pictures of them together to see how they compare.  Sweet little Landon is getting bigger and bigger.
Alaina had to take a bath after her cake mess and for some reason her clothes were all wet so I got out an outfit than a friend of mine got Russell.  It's a little basketball outfit.  It looks so cute on her.  I can't wait until it fits Russell.

Landon was blessed on September 4th.  This was a great reason for a bunch of family to get together.  I have got to get some pictures off of Toby's phone but here is what I got from Grandpa Tom's camera.
The babies!!!
My 4 generation picture.  Grandma Illene with her son Russ.  Russ with his daughter Gina (ME) and Gina with her son Russell.  What a blessing to be able to share these great moments with my grandma.  This was an amazing weekend to spend with family.  The day before this day Toby's brother Patrick got to baptize his daughter Bryanna.  Toby's mom was able to come out for that so we got to spend a lot of time with Toby's family too.  Again I need to get all the pictures off of Toby's phone and I will blog then.

Closet Upgrade

Toby and I decided that with Russell now in our lives, we needed to upgrade our closet.  This is what we used to have.
And this is what we made.  I love that my husband is able (with my help) to build thing like this and save our family lots of money.  We are very proud of our 8 ft tall 8 ft wide closet and it is so helpful now that we are back at my parents' house.  LOVE IT!

Russell, Mommy and jumpy seat.

Ok so like I have said before I have such a hard time picking which ones to use here.  So this post, I decided that I would use ALL of them.  So get comfortable and I hope you enjoy all the funny faces of Russell Alan Stark.












I think this is him trying to give me kisses!!
Look at those eyes and that smile!
He likes to "eat my face"





I could just eat him up.  Oh, he makes me so happy, this chubby little thing.

We got this jumpy seat at a garage sale for $8!! Wahoo.  He loves it because he never stops moving.
Daddy gets so proud of him over such small things...I love it!
