Some Cute Pics For You

Here are some pictures of Joey. I think he's so adorable, but I am sorta partial to him.
He sits good by himself and is learning more about it every day.
He even stood for a few minutes on his own today (OH NO!!)
He loves to lick things and he even got a hard pretzel because he grabbed it from me before I noticed, little sneak!!

New Email

Hey everyone I have a new email

Mommy, HELP!!

So I had the kids' cousin Abby over for a sleepover and all of the sudden I hear " Mommy, HELP!!" I go into the kitchen and find katie stuck in Joey's exersaucer. I busted up laughing and snapped a few pictures before I helped her out. She is so funny.

Best of cousins

Here is Joey and Lizzie. I swear they could be brother and sister. Aren't they cute?

FOXY LADY

Hey everyone we have a new addition to our family. We bought a beautiful horse for $200.00!!! She is half quarter horse, half Foxtrotter. Hence the name we gave her "FOXY LADY" She is beautiful. I will take some pictures of her and post them tomorrow. We are so excited she is only 6 years old and will last us a long time. She is 15 hands and towers over me, a little intimidating. Maybe Tara cangive me some pointers on how to take care of a horse. Cuz I have no idea !!! HAHAHA

Getting grass

Here is John and Paige working on putting in our grass. Picking rocks and leveling out, it's hard work but someone's gotta do it :)

Update

HEY EVERYONE!! My mom has lost 41 lbs!!! Yay mom!

I love spring

This is my favorite time of year. Everything is so green and the weather is getting warmer. I love my hummingbirds. They ZOOM ZOOM by my window to eat their nectar from the feeder. OH BTW, we might be getting a 6 yr old horse. I am sooo excited.

I love green beans

So Joey LOVES green beans. He gets so excited and goes " MMMM MMMM MMMM" every time I give him a bite. (pictures coming soon)

One Year Ago

One year ago my girls looked so little. I was looking at all my pictures and saw them and thought "WOW! how much they have grown"

Life goes so fast. I already have a 4 1/2 month old who will be crawling soon, Yikes!

ROLYPOLY

OK everyone, he's done it. He has mastered rolling over both ways! He rolls around every where. I have to keep the front room clean, which is rather difficult with three little ones. UGH!!! He also scoot-crawls where he puts his knees and feet underneath himself and then he pushes with his feet to propel himself forward. I am in soooo much trouble if he's doing all of this so early. Also, he sits for about 30 seconds to a minute without support. I am so proud of him. I feel so bad most of the time because he cries and cries and I am busy with dinner or the girls and I can never get to him to console him. I hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the butt. I try to get to him, but I can never get there in time before he gets so mad and is screaming at the top of his lungs. I feel so bad about it, but he also has such a temper that that has a little to do with it too. I just hope I show him how much I love him when I can finally get to him. ( pictures coming soon, out of batteries)

4 months old!!

Some accomplishments this last month for our little boy have been: Rolling over

all time and trying to roll tummy to back now(he's done it a couple of times), He puts toys and fingers in his mouth, he's always been my little talker, he started solids, he laughs all the time, and he has found some new playthings........his FEET!!! Hehe, he is so cute :)

YAY FOR MOM!!!

I am SOOO proud of my mom. She has lost over 38 lbs on the nutrisystem diet. I am so happy that she was able to stick with it this long. SHe has tried almost every diet around and this one is actually working!!! You look GREAT MOM!!!

More cute pics

Here are some of the Fam. Enjoy!!

Katie is 2

So at 7:05 in the morning of March 30th Katie turned 2 years old. My little Girl had so much fun having everyone here in the morning after the blessing. There was no time for a nap before the other side of the family came over for one of Katie's favorites....tacos! Then we opened presents and the girls had had it. Tantrums Galore, but they sure did have a GREAT day. I hope Katie will look back at pictures and see how much she means to everyone and how much we all love her.

Bleesings and Birthdays

Golly, every weekend is a party around here. On March 30th Katie turned 2 years old. We also were able to get Joey blessed that day. He did so well as they gave him a blessing, he didn't even cry once! The girls did so awsome considering they never go to church, Katie loved looking at the music notes and trying to sing the hymns. She is so cute. Paige went with her Aunt Bekah and sat with her, but I didn't hear her once. Our Ward is so wonderful out here. Everyone had something to say about our family. Lots of kind words from everyone, even though we don't attend church. I really hope we can stay out here.

Easter 2008

Wow what a busy month March was and April is starting just as busy. Saturday before Easter we got up early and went to the towns egg hunt. Then we headed down to St. G. for a cousin's 1st birthday party and another egg hunt. The kids didn't get a nap and Joey absolutly refuses to eat if the bottle is not hot. So we had an intersting afternoon. We got home about 9 pm that day and just threw the kids in bed. Easter Sunday the Easter Bunny brought a few things for the girls: kites, bubbles for Katie, writing pad for Paige, they each got necklaces and some action figures. Joey even got a baskt filled with a basketball hoop for the bath, a bunny, and some stage 1 food since he starts solids soon. They had fun when Grandma, Grandpa, Cissy and mark, and Lizzie came over for dinner.

My Beef

OK so I have something I want to get of my chest. So what is the deal with everyone dieting when I am pregnant and being pregnant when I am dieting?? It SUCKS!!! My mom is dieting right now but she uses nutrisystem and there is no way I can afford that so I am not trying to keep up with her weight loss its too easy for her to pop in those pre made meals. Where as with weight watchers you need to measure out and calculate your meals, which is why I am not doing too well on it. But I am happy that I lost the 9 lbs since the first of January, I wish it was the first of March. Ya know? HMMPH!!!
