ToOfErS!!!

It's really weird when your youngest gets his first tooth and your oldest is about to lose her first tooth! Olivia noticed her little bottom tooth is really loose. She's actually been waiting for this day, since all of her (older) friends are losing their teeth. I thought she would be at least 7 years old but I should have figured she would lose them early since she got them early (4 months). The one thing that will be good about getting all of her big teeth in early is she will be able to get braces on and off really young!

Who want's a Personal Trainer?

So I need to lose weight and tone this bod of mine before our big Mexico Vacation in April! I know a personal trainer, Carlee, and she's going to help me. I really just want to be comfortable in my swimsuit this summer. Honestly I don't think I've worked out since High school. So if anyone else wants help let me know. She would love to do more appointments since she's coming from Provo. She's 22.00 for a half an hour and 35 dollars for an hour, if you look around that's a great price. Our plan as of now is she's going to come once a week for any hour, teach me what I need to know and set up a detailed plan so I can do it myself the rest of the week. If you are interested give me a call. Here's to a sexy body this summer! Well a stretched-marked sexy body...

3 MiLeStOnEs BaCk To BaCk!

Alex has hit his first 3 milestones all in a week. First he sleeps through the night now. Yeah! It's been six days in row where he has slept 11-12 hours straight through the night. I think it's safe to say he's "sleeping through the night". Second milestone is he got his very first TOOFER. Yep it's coming in fast too. First I saw something under his gums and then the next day it broke through and you can feel the sharp little thing. I just love when babies only have the two bottom teeth, so I am so excited. The final milestone was our doing. Alex got his very first haircut. His poor Mohawk was getting so long it would slowly start to curl downward through out the day. So now his Mohawk is short and spunky. So cute. Here's random pictures we've taken lately.

Little Updates

First of all, Drew and the potty are doing great. We had a little trouble with his naps but I think we've got it figured out now. We started out using pull-ups at night but figured out that he knew he could go potty in them so we stopped using them. I haven't had to clean sheets yet so that's good! He does now take his nap in my bed because Alex and him would wake each other up, their rooms are right next to each other. I remember switching Olivia to my bed at nap time so she wouldn't wake Drew up. It works out great, I am just always afraid he's going to pee in my bed, but he hasn't yet.

Also Alexander is 4 months old today! I couldn't have asked for a better baby. He's so good and his little personality is adorable. He's more serious than the other kids but so content. He absolutely loves Olivia and will smile anytime he sees her. Not so much with Drew, he never smiles at him and you can tell he's a little nervous when Drew comes around. Probably because Drew apparently thinks Alex is blind and talks to him 1 inch, if that, from his face. WE STILL SWADDLE HIM TOO. It's crazy, but he loves it. So he may never learn to roll over! He got his very first shot today and didn't even cry, that tells you how content he is. Well his stats as of today are weight: 16lbs 7oz (90%) Length: 25.5 inches (80%). He's doing great.

Meet the New Olivia

Olivia finally asked to have her hair cut short. We never thought the day would come. Anytime we've mentioned it, her reaction has led us to think she was going to be one of those poor ladies with hair beneath her bum cheeks. So to our surprise, out of the blue, she wanted her hair short! Okay, I said. Although in the end Liv was more brave than me... 7 inches later. Walla. She is still the cutest little girl. She is on cloud 9 and can't seem to break away from the mirror. I am so glad she has the confidence to make big decisions like that. Makes a mother proud!

Happy New Years!

I still can't believe the kids stayed up with us until 2:00am! We had a great time at Mike (Chandler Bing) and Janai's. The food was great and the company was awesome!









I hope everyone has the best 2009 and succeeds with their resolutions!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's birthday. He would of been 47 today. I can't believe he's been gone for 7 years. I miss him so much, especially with these little rug rats running around. He would of loved them to pieces. This was the only picture I could find of him and I. It was for a Young Woman's Daddy Daughter Date. It seems like yesterday when we had this picture taken. Happy Birthday Dad, I love you!

Drew and Olivia wrote a Birthday message on their balloons and sent the balloons up to heaven for Grandpa. Drew really had a hard time accepting Grandpa's death. Just kidding, he did not want to let that blue balloon go. Poor guy! We have done this tradition since Olivia was a baby, they do need to be reminded that they have a Grandpa in heaven.
