Who did I get stuck with

So I took this picture a few weeks back but had to post it, I LOVE it. It totally looks like Kadence is pointing at Jaiden and thinking>> Really I got stuck with these two boys. The face totally says it too!! Haha

Back to Work!!

Today was my first day back to work (at my Dads office). I do although get to take my baby with me =). A lady in out ward is watching my boys for a great deal and her house is just fabulously kid friendly. I stopped by friday to let the boys get a feel of the place and get to know her and her kids and her and I talked. It took me about 15 min to get them to leave. Then this morning when I dropped them off the didnt even kiss me bye or say it for that matter. They were just excited to go play. So Im glad they are happy were they'll be. Im not working completely full time but close enough. Ill be working 35 hrs/ wk. I drop the kids off at 10 and pick them up at 6, with 1 hr. off the clock to go in and work on the house so that when im with the kid sI get to BE with the kids =). Before I worked 7-5 so this seems dueable. I actually get to hang out with them before dropping them off. So well see how it all plays out. Heres to work!!

My babies not so teeny!!

Kadence is already 4 1/2 months old!! I cant believe its gone so fast. She got her shots this past week and she weighs 14 lbs 4 oz. and is 24 inches long. Shes in the 75 percentile in both. She my little chunko and I love her that way. Her brothers still love her to death. Weve started her on rice and her veggies. She got peas first and litterally cried. Obviously not her favorite. Some facts about my precious girl:
She hates tummy time. Shell only lay on her tummy for a few seconds and get REAL mad. The doctor told me she needs more because she should be stronger by now. So ive been tricking her by laying her across my lap so shes holding her head and strengthing her back and not realizing it.

She WILL NOT stand up. My boys did when they were like 2 weeks old so Im pretty surprised she still doesnt want to. I mean NEVER will this girl stand. Doctor says dont worry, her legs work =)

She is THE BEST baby EVER!! >> not just cause Im mommy but really. She hardly cries and she just goes along with pretty much anything. I cant myself realizing its been to long since I acknowledge her and have to go over to play and hold her because she will let you just go about cleaning or dealing wit hboys forever before she needs your attention.

She TALKS up a storm. Am I really ready for a girl to talk my ear off>> YEP.. IM AM!! =)

She loves watching her borthers.

She rolled over only 1x and that was about a week and a half ago and she hasnt dont it since.

Just make it through the day

Im at this point in parenting were Im trying to really decide some days on whether some things really matter or not. Some days I get my kids all dressed and do their hair and then a few hours later they decide they want to be in their underwear or naked for that matter (dont worry I dont let that fly) or in last years halloween costumes. Some days it drives me crazy but really.. were just home, does it matter that much? Im still on the edge for that one. But what about destroying the room? Or rearranging things? That i dont really mind. I remember my parents let us do lots of our own crazy stuff like this growing up and they stick out in my mind as some of my best memories. I remeber lining the Whole house with books and playing hot lava. Or our room was our domain and we could rearrange or decorate however we pleased. I want to be better at just letting my kids enjoy. So lately they rearrange there room or destoy it and we just let in be that way until the end of the day. Heres some pictures to show my wonderfully dresses kids in their awesomely clean room =) haha.








Soo.. what matters in my parenting right now? >> Not how my kids look or my house.. but that my kids are enjoying their precious childhood and that im choosing my battles how I feel are important!!

Lake Mead

My parents have a boat (for the time being..weird/long story) so we went up as a family to lake mead this weekend. Pete had to work so we went without him =(. I had to talk Jaiden into getting on the tube and before we barley even got going he was yelling at me to make them stop and he wanted off (What.. is this my Jaiden??, he did like being on the obat and watching everyone else go though).



Rylan got on with me and was loving it. I kept trying to get him to go faster but he didnt want to but he was going a good speed for a 3 year old. Then he was sinking into the tube and his legs were getting stuck so I tried pulling them out and I made teh front of the tube go under and we fell off. =/ he wasnt too thrilled about that. We camped by a big hill and the kids had a blast climbing it and swimming in the water. Kadence had fun hanging out with her Cousin Matix in the trailer. They like cuddling and holding hands. We had a fun time and have to take daddy out with us soon.

Long overdue

LOTS has happened this past two months. Some I havent felt much like blogging about which is why I havent.. but its time to put stuff in so I dont forget.


First things first. Petes dad passed away the begining of August. So that was very rough on the family to say the least. He has had bad health for a while and is a cancer survivor. Although the last few months got worse. He was admitted to the hospital for low blood pressure as a precautionary measure and then ended up on life support (Im keeping this real breif) after 3 days the family decided together it was his time. My boys understood that he was in Heaven but didnt quiet realize.


On a better note. We peirced Kadence's ears when she was 31/2 months. I planned on 2 months but couldnt bring myself to do it. But she did pretty well and she looks darling with them.

We signed the boys back up for soccer.
