Halloween Part One

So we, of course, have been having some Halloween fun this week. First we carved our pumkins we got from the pumkin patch. Well actually Dad ends up carving all of them. They start out detailed and cool, but it get's old really fast so the last two are lucky to get smiley faces.




Then last night we had our Ward Halloween party. A lot of people were there and the kids looked so cute.





These are the brown eyed girls, Olivia's bestest friends......

Alexander Update

Alex will be 7 weeks tomorrow. He is still a great baby and twice this past week he slept over 7 hours straight at night, so we are excited to be getting our sleep back. He absolutely loves his bouncy seat, not so much the swing. And he is now starting to smile and coo which is my favorite. We are having so much fun with him.

6-6-5

This is an easy tag, you go into your 6 photo folder and get the 6th picture and upload it and then tag 5 people.

So this is obviously Miss Olivia. She had the roundest head I've ever seen! So now I tag Liza, Marcie, Brittany, Chante and Kathryn.

Happy Halloween!!!

So we were invited to our neighborhood ADULT Halloween party on Friday night. It was great to get a babysitter and get out of the house. I really didn't think Tyler would agree on dressing up for this event but to my surprise he even agreed to be a caveman of all things. I thought we looked pretty sexy for cave people. The party was a lot of fun, we love our crazy friends.

Alex is 1 month old!

Wow time fly's when you're having fun, or I should say when you're sleep deprived. Alex is already 1 month old. He is such a good baby and just loves to be talked to. He's already changed so much in the last month and now I really can see Olivia and Drew in him. He's getting so big too. I weighed him today and he was exactly 11 pounds. I am guessing he's going to be a BIG BOY, well I am hoping anyways. Well here are some pictures of him today, they are not the greatest but they shall do.

Discovery Health Channel

So a few weeks ago I kept seeing this preview on the Discovery Health channel about a family with six kids who ALL have Autism. It would say the names of a few of the kids and they were like Nephi and Emma so I was like this family has got to be LDS! Well I did record it and watched it yesterday. What a humbling experience. I am just trying to adjust with 3 kids right now so times can be frustrating. Then I see this family from Murray, Utah with all 6 of their kids suffering from a whole range of Autism. 2 of the kids very severe. Here I am with 3 easy kids complaining about Olivia singing too much or Drew just being too loud and these kids can't even say Mamma. It made me realize how blessed I am and how easy I have it. No more complaining for me....

Quick Alex Update

Baby is doing great. You know how you just want to eat their face off, that's how I feel when I look at him. Anyways, at his two week appointment I was faced with some different situations. First of all he weighed in at 9lbs! So he gained more than a pound and a half since leaving the hospital. I didn't realized my milk was like butter milk. My other two kids were such spitters that they didn't gain weight super quick in the beginning. Then the doctor saw that he was tongue tied. We all realized that in the hospital. What is tongue tied? I don't know but that thing under his tongue went all the way to the end of his tongue. So he couldn't stick out his tongue very far and the skin would pull back his tongue so it looked like a snake. Weird. It obviously wasn't affecting his eating habits. I guess it's really common but I have never heard of it. It wasn't that bad the Dr. said but he does leak milk sometimes when he drinks so he went ahead and cut it. Painful? Actually no, he didn't even cry. Second weird thing was he was born with a skin tag on his nipple. Again, why? Who knows. So the Dr tied a piece of suture around it and it's suppose to just fall off. It hasn't yet. Third weird thing about this kid is I noticed he has so many soft spots on his head. The Dr felt all of them and said everything was normal but he does have bigger gaps so we just have to be careful on rotating him when he sleeps so he doesn't get a flat head. Interesting. Well that's about all the excitement that's been going around here. I am glad Alex only has minor weird things wrong with him. He still the cutest kid ever.
