I have a feeling that this post will be pretty long...

Of course I have to start off with a picture of this guy!!! Oh how I love this brown eyed boy. He serioiusly makes everyday of my life start with a smile.
He has started saying "dada dada dada da" all the time now. Its so cute! Cord of course loves it. I love listening to him. the little faces that he makes while he is saying it....just too cute!! He is serioiusly so much fun!!



Quaid is becoming more mobile too :) He sits on the floor, then tips to his belly and rolls where he wants to be, he then will kick his legs all over the place to get him to turn in all directions. He doesnt crawl yet, but he is getting his little knees under him, and I dont think it will be long until he figures it out!!

I love seeing everyweek how much Cayden learns in soccer. He is doing better everytime he plays!! Its so fun to watch, he kills me. The things he does while he is out there on the field...if he wasnt 5 i would be embarrassed. haha. I love this kid, he thrives off of making people laugh. That can be a good thing, and a crazy thing too. Anyway, its fun going and having him be involved with all this stuff. I just hope that he can always remember the important things he learns while playing these sports. To have fun!!! I already feel bad that I'm that crazy mom on the side line yelling at her kid to do this or that!! Yes I am, I was in basketball season, and now in soccer. Cant help it. I get into it.

Good thing he is to young to care....now in a few years, I will probably have to swear to keep my mouth shut. Dont know if I could do that ;)



Here is Cayden guarding the goal......



Yes, a kid actually said "Mom, look....the kid guarding the goal is laying down!" haha. Its hard to stay focused on what you supposed to be doing when the ball is on the other side of the field and there is so many people watching. oh boy oh boy. (yes I was taking the pictures, laughing, and yelling at him to get up and be ready all at the same time)

Little miss Kennadi....wow.

Its hard to find the right words. She looks like a princess, but daddy calls her Bimbo the clown.
She doesnt care...she feels pretty :)







Kenna recently decided she loved wearing makeup like mommy everyday. Its hard to keep her our of it. i really didnt see a problem with it. She had fun, I thought it was cute...well its gone kind of far.


Its ok, yes I take her in public like this. She is expressing herself :)





WEll, I honestly thought i would go on and on about things in this post.

Kennadi has her first dance recital next friday and saturday. I am sure I will go camera crazy and take a million pictures. Literally. I tend to do that. It will be so much fun for her. I am glad she is in dance and gets to do this.

I also start playing softball games this week. Silly, but im slightly nervous about this. Its actually been about 2 years since I have played!! Last year I was pregnant and couldnt play. So I am happy to be on a team this year and I really hope I dont suck as bad as I think I am going to. If I do...so sorry to my team mates!

Cord leaves at the end of may to fly with his little brother out to flordia. He will be gone for 5 days!! He has really never been anywhere (besides when I took him out to new jersey with me!!) So I am really excited for him to go!!!! Not like I am excited for him to be gone, but I love that he gets to have this expirence and do something fun! He works so hard all the time,I dont think he has ever had a vacation! So go ahead hunny, go and have a good time!!! :) We really appreciate everything he does for us <3

Not much for me to say, Im sure I could find some things to complain about...but I will spare all of my readers. Im not sure if anyone even reads these ? I hope someone does :)

WEll, thats about all for now!

randomness!

Ya know, I would probably post more often, except for it seems like after I write a great big post...my fat fingers hit some random button and the whole dang thing gets deleated. UGH. I just wrote a great post on spring time and how I love it!!! and the best thing about spring this year is that I am not pregnant so I an enjoy it!!! Wow, now I dont know if I can re write what I lost. Thats the downfall with laptops. Seems tohappen to me all the time.

I have been loving watching Cayden play soccer the past couple weeks. He is getting better and better everytime he plays. His team is really good!! they are 2-0. Cayden isnt the star player, but the kid has heart. He runs the whole time and does everything he can(even though he flinches when the ball is kicked his way, haha) But it so much fun watching him. Every game he is getting better and beter, by the end I know he will be scoring goals. He is just happy to be there and be playng and trying his best. He is such a good kid!!! I love him very mucho.

Kennadi has entered a make up phase. Wow, I dont know what else I can say. She pretty much looks like she has a little mask on her eyes everyday. Its really funny. She has some bright pink lipstick that I gave her (whoops) and she wears it on her lips ( and all around them too ) Its really funny to see her putting on her make up. She knows right where it all goes, I couldnt believe it. I guess she watches me :) Its fun to see that and to know that she is trying to be like me. I tried to tell her that she is so beautiful that she doesnt even need make up, but apparently its fun. So Im not going to stop her! I really dont mind that she gets into it and makes a mess of it, she is just having fun so Im all for that!! Such a girly girl, and a tom boy at the same time. Love this girl!

Quaids first tooth cut through on sunday, April 3rd! I knew they were coming. But its here now and its sharp!! Luckily, I taught him weeks ago not to bite me when I am nursing him. So I hope we dont have a problem with that!! When he was all gums, it still hurt to be bit. SO now it would really not be good...I swear that sharp little tooth could draw blood. I cant wait until its in enough that I can see it when he smiles. His little smile already melts my heart, so that will just intensify it!! He is growing so fast. I cant help but think how much fun this age is. I just love it. Yes, I say that about every age. But this 6-7 month range is so fun. THey are playing and i can just see how much more he understands thngs. He interacts with his brother and sister more now. He just loves them!! Its fun to watch him reach his hands for Cord when he comes home for work. He laughs when we tip him upside down, and throw him in the air. He loves to be tickled, and his little tummy is so ticklish.

Well, thats about all for now. I am sure I could go on and on, but I better get some things done!! If this all gets deleated before I am done typing then I may never blog again!!

6 months!!!

6 months ago today, this little guy came into our lives. I can not even descibe how much love I have for this brown eyed boy! I never imagined I would have this wonderful of a baby, again!! He is so much fun! I love his personalitly, his smile, the noises he makes, the bubbles he blows....who am I kidding, I love everything he does!!!
This little face will always hold a special place in my Heart!!
Some exciting things he is doing now:
rolls from front to back, and back to front!
He can sit up all by himself and play with toys and watch Cayden and Kennadi run around.
He grabs anything and everything that is infront of him!
He laughs and yells when he is excited!
Loves, loves, loves to be outside
Eats baby food twice a day
Sleeps atleast 6 hours each night
Still takes 3 naps a day


I dont think i need to express how much this little guy means to his brother and sister. They love him so much! this picture shows that!

thanks for coming into our family baby Q. We love you so much!! Happy half a birthday!!

What a day!!

I know that posts without pictures are no fun!! But I cant upload pictures everyday.

Today was fun for the kids! We walked Cayden to school today. Well Cayden and Kennadi rode their bikes and I pushed the stroller. They always have fun doing it, and I love to watch them. They amaze me. I watch Cayden on his big bike with no training wheels and he impresses me so much. He is really a big kid now. He rides his bike and has no problems. He gets nervous sometimes and just lets himself crash...ha ha but he always catches himself. He has always been a cautious kid. Then there is Kennadi, who scares me so much with how fearless she is. And it shows while she is riding down the street with her training wheeled princess bike. She goes down curbs and tries to go up them, and she goes down hills at full speed and is yelling WEEEEEE the whole way. Ya cayden would die if he started down a hill going that fast. She is crazy! My heart jumps everytime she looks like she is about to tip over, but she just leans up and straightens out. Its so funny to watch how different the kids are. Raised the same, but are completely different. I love these children so much.

It was so funny yesterday when I picked Cayden up from school. Kennadi was with grandma at dance class, so it was just me and the boys going to St. George. Cayden was telling me about his day at school when he told me about him and his little best friend, Connor, at recess. They had decided to run to the tree where the girls were playing. I guess one little girl yelled to them and told them to go away. Cayden yelled back NO to her, and she said "go away or do you wanna be kissed?" cayden replied " I sure do!" and then took off!
I had to laugh so hard at this little story he told me. They way he told me and all the little details he included. It was so funny! I cant believe they are already at it in Kindergarten. Cracks me up. :)

One more thing then I am done for the day :) I look at these big brown eyes that Quaid has, and I just cant believe it!! It may seem like not a big deal, but I have blue eyes, all my siblings and parents have blue eyes, and both of my other kids have blue eyes. It seems to me like all my life I have always looked into other peoples eyes and they have been blue. WIth the exception of cord I guess, and I think thats why I was so attracted to him. I loved the big brown eyes!! Dont get my wrong, I love that my older kids have eyes like me, because thats really all they have from me :) But I am loving these brown eyes on this baby! Its adorable, I cant quit looking into them! Just had to have a post about these brown eyes.

Girls night tonight!!! And its much needed. I am so happy that I have a few people that I can go and do things like this with. I am very thankful for them, especially since I went through a period of time where I really had no close friends to do things like this with. So now I am thankful everyday for these few people in my life :)

Alright I will quit with all the emotions...and go back to cleaning my house!

Private

Thought I would hurry and mention and here pretty soon I am going to be putting my blog as private for many reason! I want to feel safe about the info and pictures I put on here, but I still want friends, family, and even just acquaintances to be able to keep and see what our family is up to :) So, if you want to be able to view the blog, leave me your email address in a comment (if you have already not given it to me on facebook) Thanks!

Also, I am one of those people who love to look at a few certain peoples blogs just because they are so crafty and fun and cute! So if your one of those as well, your invited too :) And thanks for the inspiration!

Valentines day, and Quaids 5 months!!

So, I made it through my week of having cord out of town! And it actually went way better than I thought it would. I got to stay up at night and read in bed, which I LOVE doing but cant do when he is here. So even though I didnt like having him gone, that was something that was kinda fun for a week :) He came home on friday and we had all weekend and monday to just hang out and do what we wanted. To bad it rained and was not good weather all weekend!!

So I thought I would post a picture of my valentines day presents from my great husband! He is so sweet, and surprised me very much this year!!! I love the things he got for me. Including the rose :)

Also, on the 15th by baby boy turned 5 months old!! I cant believe he is this old already. The time has flown by, and been so much fun!! I have loved every minute with all three of my kids, but the third baby is really just so much fun. Everything is more relaxed and we kind of know what to do and expect, so we just get to play and hold onto every second, because I know how fast they fly by!! I love this little brown eyed boy so much! He has brought so much love and joy into our family. I am thankful everyday that I get to hold and squeeze him all day everyday. Being a mommy is so much fun, especially since I have these sweet, wonderful, funny, adorable kids to spend my days with!
Of course while I was trying to get a couple snaps of Quaid on his 5 month old day, Kennadi had to hold him and cuddle him for a while. This little girl loves her baby brother more than I ever expected. And when I pull the camera out (which I should be doing more often) She runs over to take picture with the babe.

Gotta Keep UP!

Just thought I would add a few pictures! Lets face it, I am not so great at keeping the blog updated. But since I never did a post on new years resolutions, I will mention that it is one of them! I really want to be better and taking a few minutes a couple times a week and posting a thing or two. I have also not been on top of loading my pictures from my camera to my computer, so these pictures of just a few of the more recent ones we have!!
Of course, the kids are all growing so fast that its ridiculous! Every day each of them do new things and are just so much fun. They keep me going and they are the reason that everything gets done around here. If it werent for them, I wouldnt clean, because nothing would be messy, and I wouldnt cook, because they are who I am usually cooking for. So they give me purpose :) Which is wonderful!!
SO for now, this is all. I will update soon :)
