6 boys

I definitely couldn't live without my 6 adorable nephews. Now that they will all live out of state I'll pretty much never have a vacation to an actual vacation spot again since I can't' help myself but go see them as often as possible.

Adam and Karlie and their family live in Arizona where Karlie works as a nurse in the neonatal unit and Adam is starting law school in August.

Nick is 5 and just says the most incredible things. It took him a long time to get a hold on the whole talking thing, but once he did, it's hard to stop him. He asks great questions and really pays attention to what goes on around him.

Alex has the most expressive face I have ever seen. He wants what he wants (I guess that could be said about most 2 year olds) and it's hard to refuse him when he looks up at you with those big blue eyes. He's the sweetest older brother and really likes taking care of Dylan.

Dylan just turned three months old. In this picture he was about a week old, and he's even cuter now. Karlie posted some pictures of him this week on their blog and he's a dollface! He's got Karlie's awesome eyebrows and sweet demeanor.

Rachael and Lance live here in Salt Lake and they're moving to Pittsburgh in a month so Lance can go to dental school. I'm so sad to not see them on a regular basis!

Owen is three and the nephew I know best because we've lived in the same place the longest. He was a terror as a baby but he's quite a pleasant boy. He loves the number 4 and the color green and his mom and grandma. He is incredibly imaginative and loves to take anyone along for the ride who will go with him. He can do huge puzzles by himself and he knows his way around town. He's a very sweet brother.


Oliver turned one in March and he is a riot. He looks like his mom with very blonde hair and very blue eyes and the greatest smile. He is starting to walk and he gets really excited about it. He especially loves the stairs and other dangerous activities, so he generally has a couple of bruises on his cute face. He's a pretty happy little camper.


Chelsea and Jon live in Illinois where Jon is in medical school. Chelsea is here for the summer, so I'm excited to soak up all of them that I can before they head back.

Benjamin is the first official tank baby in the family. My dad likes to call him Big Ben Willes, in hopes that he'll be a football player. We figure if any of the women in this family are going to raise a football player, it's probably Chelsea. Ben has a great smile and the most fantastic cheeks! He's a mover and a shaker and he's got strong lungs.
