Peek-a-boo

Grace was out singing at the top of her lungs, "this is my home" over and over and over!!!
I asked her, "where did you learn that song"
She says (like i am stupid), "ummmm... i made it up"
She is going threw something and well, lets just say i hope we all make it threw this stage!! There are some times, ok, most of the time, i want to just spank her butt, put her in her room, close the door, and let her be mean in there!

While Grace was out singing, the twins were watching threw the door!! They sure do love her, hopefully her attitude doesnt rub off on them just yet, we will for real be in trouble!!

I threw the twins PJ's out to get them dressed, but they were having more fun playing peek-a-boo with each other!!! Alaynna would put hers over her head then crawl away!!

I wish that we could all be entertained by peek-a-boo!!

playing

The twins are going to be walking any day!!!!

Jakell brought over a toy lion that can be push and they love it!!! They kinda fight over it , but really they fight over everything!!!

They also enjoy pushing Graces table around the kitchen, for real double trouble!!

.

Grace fell asleep like this, i think she was tired!! 

These are a few pictures of playing with the lion, notice the crazy face the twins make, i am lucky to get a good picture of them!!

The last few days

This weekend went by way to fast.
We did nothing and it was a little to cold for the little girls and a lot to muddy for kyle to go outside, but Grace did play in her playhouse, i can tell that it is going to be well used!!
Sunday Grace was having some issues, like going potty in her pants (alot) and i was at my wits end! After a few hours of her going in her pants, changing them , telling me it hurt when she went, and starting over, i figured she must have a UTI. Poor girl, her back hurt and the whole nine yards. Monday she acted a little better but i still thought i should take her to the doctor, so i went and got a "cup" and ALL DAY we worked on peeing in this cup, after some (alot) bribing, she did it!!! We went to the doctor on Tuesday morning and they couldnt use the "sample" so we had to do it again!!  But she didnt put up to much of a fight and did it again!! It is a UTI she has and is now on a antibiotic and feeling much better!!!!
 For being so good at the doctor, we walked up to the Scoop to go to lunch and get some ice cream! The twins loved it and Grace especially thought it was cool!!

On a different note... While blog stalking one day i came across this blog. I would check back on ella every once in awhile and i would always say a prayer for her and her wonderful strong mom and family.
I was sad to hear about the news of ellas passing today and i think that we should include her and her family in our prayers.

P.S.

This is just a P.S. to all my posts.....

1. Jerrica is having a baby!!!! She told us at christmas but told me i couldnt put it on my blog!! We are excited to have another little one around, we are making my mom and dad old fast, this will be 5 grand babies for them!!

2. Since this is my family blog i made a new one with all the picture i take, cakes i make, and things i create! I know that mostly people get on my blog to see my kids and what the little family has been doing not to see all the stuff i do to keep myself from going crazy. Also i needed a website for my cakes, someday i hope to do a few more, So... I made the new blog, go check it out if you need a cake!!!

3. After Annie wrote a post about wondering who looks at her blog, it got me thinking!
So i put a map and a counter of all the visitors that go to my blog. I really thought that it was pretty much my grandmas and other family that read it, but i got quite a few hits!! So if you read my blog, you shoud leave me a comment i would love to see who out there reading this, even if you are family, friends or someone i dont know!!

fondant animals for Trueitt's cake

I am making Trueitts birthday cake and Jakell decided she wanted a safari theme, i have all kinds of ideas!!!
I decided there needed to be some cute jungle animals on it so here are the 2 i have done...

I molded them out of fondant and i think they turned out pretty good!! 
 

sally the hippo and whiner the elephant, Grace named them!!

Just stuff

I had to go to the doctor and do some shopping on Monday so Kyle got to stay home and babysit the kids!! He called me to tell me his brother came down and they were playing mario, so my kids were pretty much on their own!! When i got home the house was not to bad, but not Jessica clean, and the children were not dressed!!! I guess next time i go i will need to wait till i can get the girls up and get them ready!!!

This is what Grace looked like, the shirt she is wearing is a dress, thats how small it is!!! Her hair was not done, but she had ate and had colored so many beautiful pictures so i guess it is ok!!

Addison and Alaynna didnt get dressed, but they were all nice, bathed, and smelling good so i cant complain to much about that!!! 

The other day Grace runs in to tell me "the cat love eachother, they are best friends, and they are hugging!!"

Last but not least, "its raining, its pouring", I love the rain and it has been coming down this week!!!

9 months

The twins were 9 months old yesterday!!

Alaynna milestones...

• crawling
• pulling herself up
• Walks along the furniture
  
• eating, eating everything!
• says mama and dada
• has 2 bottom teeth
  

Alaynna likes to play peek-a-boo, play with Grace, and wrestle, chase, and talk to Addison when they are suppose to be napping!!

Addisons milestones...

• crawls
• pulling herself up
  
• walks along furniture
• eats alot! (not as much as alaynna)
• says mama and dada
• waves
• has 1 bottom tooth

Addison likes to be held, play pee-a-boo, play with her sisters, and get into as much as fast as she can!

I also had to include a picture of Grace, all has to be fair in this house!!!

one of those days...

Do you ever have those days when you just want to sit in the corner, rock back and forth, and cry??
Today has been that day for me.
We woke up early and everyone wanted loved, I love to love my kids, but i like to have a few minutes to just sit in silence and not be touched!
I just have been in a slump, I think it might be because i have such a routine, nothing changes, nothing for the past 6 months!
Grace for sure gives me a run for my money, holy cow i fear the day of teenage years!!
But i shouldn't complain, i have healthy happy, (most of the time) kids and a pretty great husband! So for now here are a few pictures from today!

The twins were sharing food with Josie, she likes it when they do!! We don't eat off the floor, but today there was cereal everywhere so as i went to get the vacuum all the girls and josie ate as much cereal off the floor as they could!!

Trueitt got a hair cut and i think he looks great!!!

Kyle was playing with the twins, they love it when he chases them! It is really cute how they act, but it hurts your knees being down on the floor!!

Grace was getting kyle all prettied up, as soon as i got the camera out he dropped the pink mirror he was holding and kicked me out of the room, till i put the camera away!!!!

and.... The twins playing tug-a-war with Graces bracelet, they had just got done fighting over the mtn. dew can! They didnt cry over the bracelet but there were tears over the can, they love the cans!!!

another outside day

All my girls love to be outside, they were playing in their play house and they had alot of fun!!
When they get a little older and can keep up with Grace i am sure all i will be doing is chasing kids more than i do!!

Gram Cracker fight

The twins fight over whatever the other one has, so i try and limit the fights and give them the same things.
They were getting fussy and Gram Crackers always un-fuss them!
They were just fine till Alaynna finished hers and Addison still had some left! Alaynna just crawled over took her cracker and started eating away, Addison had a come apart and started screaming!! After getting my camera i made it all better with giving them another cracker!!

Also if you notice the crazy face Addison is making, that is because when we chase them, we growl at them, that is her growling face!!
Also Alaynna HUGE thighs, she has got some chunk on her bottom!!

Mario and family picture

Grace loves her cats, she carries them around like rag dolls! Surprisingly they have not scratched her, but if she dances with them or spins them around much more, they might!

If you know me, you know i am obsessive and competitive, i dont hide those trades, Kyle on the other hand does!! We got a new wii game, Mario brothers, like the old school one, and well we have played and played the thing!!
Kyle is SO competitive he just doesnt show the real world, i got yelled at a few times cause i wasnt too good at first!
We did get to world 8 after staying up till 11:30 trying to pass i dang castle!! (11:30 probably doesnt sound late to alot of you, but we are in bed by like 9:30 usually!)
Anyways we have alot of fun playing together and it is fun to see kyle freak out, I love it!!

This is the family picture Grace drew! She came and told me, "this is our family, you, me, the sisters, dad, the cats, josie, grandma nancy, grandpa penn, grandpa frank, grandma merri, jakell,jerrica, trueitt, ululu, vance, luke,laura, kaden, tiffany, grandma and grandpa joe, grandma and grandpa leavitt, grandma and grandpa helen, grandma allllgar, (thats how she says it), and all of our neighbors!!
She is so crazy, and im pretty sure the horrible 3's are So much worst than the terrible 2's!!

outside

This weekend we spent outside cause it was nice!

Poor kyle spent the whole weekend ripping out fence that was put in the wrong spot, (we were pretty upset about it, but we are getting over it now.)! It was looking really good out there and now it just looks weird, but it will go up faster this time so i will post picture when it is done!!

Grace was being my model, every time i get the camera out she tells me to take a picture of her!!

The twins love to be outside, they just laid in there playpen and drank bottles and watched the world go by!

all caught up

I am finally all caught up on my blog, now i can try and finish this years blog book, i am only to march!! It has been hard trying to stay caught up but this year i am really going to try and stay caught up so i can have all the stories in a book forever!
I am also going to loss all this baby weight that wont go away since Grace!!
Doesnt everyone make losing weight a new years resolution? I really am going to try and stick with eating good and exercising, so anyone out there with some ideas on how to make this easier, please tell me.....

New years

On Tuesday, (12-29-09) Skyler called Kyle and told him he had to get down there so they could go chase a lion, so thats what we did!!! We, and when i say we i mean me, got all packed and loaded up to go to Marysvale for a few days!! I was ready to pee my pants with excitement to go to the snow and have some real winter!! We put the girls in the car seats at 1:30 on Wednesday so we wouldnt be driving in a snowy storm in the dark, but it didnt work out like that!! We did good and the girls all slept so we decided we would get gas in cedar and just keep going! So we got about 5 miles from the exit and it was a total white out, there was so much snow! I was pretty happy till we slid off the road and just about rolled! God was watching over us cause it could have been so much worst then it was!
We just kept going and it just kept snowing so we just went slow and at 7 o'clock, (5 and 1/2 hours later!) we made it to marysvale, all the girls were in there car seats for the whole trip and they barley cried, they were so good!!
After we were there and out of the truck we were all happy to be in the snow at Grandmas house with the fire going!!
When all the kids were asleep Me, Terrie, and Jayden went sledding down church hill! It was so much fun, i crashed a few times but it was worth it!!
On Thursday Grace was so excited to go outside in the snow to make a snow man, she got Terrie to go out with her, but they just made snow balls, the snow was to powdery for snow men!

We asked my Grandma and Jakell to watch the kids on New years night so we could go to dinner! We went out to Hoovers for some crab, it was the first time we had ever had it, it was good but it sure is a lot of work for not a lot of meat!! I think if i have that again i will ask someone to crack all the legs opened and just let me eat!!

Me, Grandma, and Jakell stayed up till midnight, Utah time, and pretty much as soon as it was 12 i went to sleep!!!

We just hung out for the rest of the weekend and had fun, Kyle didnt get a lion but next time we go down i am sure he will!!! I hope we go back when it snows so we can sled some more!!
The drive home was alot dryer so it was pretty uneventful!!
We had fun being there but it was nice to be home where the kids have all there stuff!!

more christmas and the day after

These are some pictures of Grace hitting the pinata and the Girls watching her!
I forgot them in the collage!!

The day after Christmas Tina and Sarah came down! We all played the wii and just hung out, it was so good to she them!
