OvErLOad Of PoStiNg

Well as you all probably know, I haven't posted in a long time! Our laptops' cord broke so I have been without a computer for a little bit. So here is goes:

Memorial Day!

My Grandparents have a BBQ for Memorial day every year. All the Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, the Cousins kids, Parents and Grandparents all together is quite fun. Our family is growing so big!

My Kids are so darn cute!

T-Ball Time!

Logan is in T-ball again this year and is doing so great! Jeff is their coach and is doing such a great job with the kids. Logan bats left or right handed and is really good at both. Today at T-ball he got a kid out at first base, (but not really because they have no outs).

Jeffs new girlfriend!

Jeff has a new love in his life now, her name is Scout. She is tall with orange hair. She is quite older than Jeff but he is getting her all cleaned up and nice. I assume when he has her all ready he will be taking her out on lots of dates. Probably to the mountains and camping. He has been spending a lot of time with her lately, I am kind of jealous.

The Drive in Movies!

We love going to the drive in, well I do at least. We went a while ago with my sister Lindsay and her baby Kayden. We went and saw Iron Man 2 and How to train a dragon. I really loved the dragon movie, I recommend it to all ages! Iron man was good too.

I am now 27 years old, I think!

I had my birthday in May and I think I am 27. I told everyone I was turning 26, but than Asillin reminded me that no I am turning 27. I guess the older you get the more you forget your getting old. I got lots of great stuff from everyone, Thanks all!

Qwin :)

Well Qwin is 6 months now and she is getting so fun! She loves to play on her stomach and roll around everywhere looking for toys. She is a smiley girl, who loves to watch her brother and sister play. She weighs about 16 and a half pounds which is about the 55% for her age and she is tall, I don't remember the length but in the 87%. She also has two new teeth!

Easter

Of coarse I have to do a post on Easter! This year we went to the Clearfield City egg hunt, DUMB! Logan got 3 eggs (I suprised he even got that!) It was like a stampede of children running for eggs. Logan was disapointed but Sienna got 6 eggs and said it was fun. I don't think we will be doing that again. After that we actually went and got a new grill. It is nice to have another way of cooking! We have grilled almost everyday since we got it! We love it! After that we went to lunch at Kevin and Helens house and the kids had thier own easter egg hunt. They got lots of candy and yummy treats!

After that we hurried over to my grandma's traditional easter egg hunt. They had it at my uncles church house and the eggs where hidden all over the church. It was really fun and Jeff and I even got to find some eggs for our selves! Sienna got the silver egg, one below the golden egg. She got Toy Story 2! Along with lots of good candy, money is what filled the eggs!

Sunday the Easter Bunny visited our house and filled the kids baskets with lots of fun stuff. The kids got coloring books, a movie, bubbles and ring pops. The Easter bunny also hid lots of eggs around the house for them to find. Conference was great to watch and listen to and we ended up having a wonderful Easter!

Sea Life Aquarium

Jeff got 2 free adult tickets to the aquarium so we decided to go and take the kids. The kids had a really good time. The aquarium wasn't the coolest thing i have done but I guess since mine and Jeff's tickets were free...

I got to touch a sting ray. The kids were too scared. Logan said " but why are they called STING rays?"
This was Logan's favorite, the sharks!

This octopus was by far the coolest looking fish there, it looked like an alien!

I really liked these jelly fish, they were pink!

Sienna always does this pose for pictures, it is cute!

The frog

Qwin was so excited when Jeff picked her up and showed her the fish!

After the aquarium we went to crown burger in SLC and we were going to go to Temple Square but it started to rain and then Crown burger was completely packed because of the Jazz game. We we went back home and ate Crown burger in Clearfield.

Qwin's Blessing Day

Qwin was a princess for a day! Her blessing day was perfect. Jeff blessed her in our ward and did a great job. Grandma's and Grandpa's, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins all cam to support us. We had a yummy lunch at our house, thanks everyone for coming and bringing food! We love Qwin and glad she is a part of our family!





The dress was crocheted by me! I saw a picture of it online and fell in love with the pattern. I tried finding it ever where but it was no where to be found. Later I found another picture of it that someone had posted and asked her where she got the pattern. She emailed me back and told me it was in a book. Well I found the book and bought it. I only had about 3 months to crochet it because I got it about a week before Qwin was born. I procrastinated and put it off until finally I had 2 weeks left. I had part of it done but most of it was not finished. I spent many hours of my days trying to finish it and finally I did it! Now I can have my life back!

Logan is 6 years old!!

Logan had a fun Birthday this year! All the family got together and we had a party at Chuck E Cheese! It was a blast! Logan was spoiled with tons of great gifts! Thanks everyone for coming and making it such a great day for Logan!

I made a chocolate cake with army stuff on top, it was yummy! Logan got lots of Army stuff. GI Joes, Helicopter, Army guys, army vehicles and a navy ship w/planes). He also got clothes, a lego box, a castle put together thing (I don't know how to describe it, but it is cool), bubbles, race car, drawing thing and some candy!

Here are some awesome pictures from the party!

Me, my weight, my hair and my life!

Well it has been 3 months since I have not been pregnant. As you all know I gain weight during my pregnancies. My body loves to put on the pounds when I am prego! Well the months after are kind of cool because the weight seems to come off so easy. Nursing helps and of course not having a huge appetite helps too. But it is that last 5 pounds that are always there to stay it seems. And so I guess it would be 15 now, 5 for each kid right? Well I am still working at losing some more weight but so far I have lost 30 pounds! Well ten of it was Qwin but the other twenty came off the last 3 months. I am trying for another 10 but we will see!
I decided I needed a change with my hair. That is how we get after having a baby. Well i have realized that as I get older the harder and harder it is to change my hair dramatically like I did when I was younger. I guess I am feeling too comfortable with my looks. So my change in hair was not that noticeable to very many people. Mostly people that see me on a daily basis but I like it and that is all that matters. I cut some shorter bangs and did a few highlights on top. Picture below*

Well i have been way busy lately trying to finish Qwins blessing dress and keep the house clean, working, and taking care of a new baby. Jeff will be blessing Qwin in March! Hopefully I can have the dress done on time!

2 Months

Qwin is 2 months old (and a few days)! Jeff took her to her 2 month check up. She is in the 66% for height, 91% for weight and 87% for head. She is shorter than my other kids where at this age but the rest is about the same. She is such a little cutie and we love her. Espeacially her brother and Sister! She is sleeping through the night, smiling, laughing, goo and gaaing, she likes to look and listen to toys and she can hold her head up. Qwin we love you!

Am I a bad parent or are my kids just HORIBLE today?

Well I am going to have to say that both would be true. I think I have pretty much been yelling, no screaming at my kids all day today. My morning starts off with Sienna peeing through her diaper (which she should NOT be in still!!) Then I find out she stuffed the toilet with toilet paper. Then she does not put her shoes on like I asked about 10 times (not exaggeraing). I take Logan to school and then go to the bank where I wait half an hour to get a paper notarized when Sienna pees through her diaper again (which remember she is NOT suppose to be in still, she is 3!). Of course I do not have a change of clothes for her but I am in layton and I still need to go to Sams club. So we went and the whole time she is saying, "I am tired I want to sleep". So I go pick up Logan from school and when we get home he pulls out his homework folder and runs to his room with it and hides something from me. Well he brought a squirt gun to school and got in trouble because it is a weapon(or looks like one). So ANYWAY, needless to say he is grounded for trying to hide this from me and for bringing a toy to school in which I have told him numerous times not to do! I thinking I am going crazy!

January 2010

Well it's a new year! This last year has gone by so fast! I have been at my job for almost a year now (in February). It seems like I just started. Logan is doing good in school, he is starting to read words now!! He was taken out of the extended program because he was doing really good. Sienna is still not completely potty trained, she cannot go poopy in the potty yet. She is getting big and just loves taking care of her sister Qwin. She calls her Qwinny. Qwin is 2 months old today! She is getting so cute! She can hold her head up pretty good now and she is sleeping through the night! Qwin loves to smile at us and she is starting to goo and ga. Jeff is working hard at his job, winter time is very busy there. He is in charge of towing on his shift so he moves the planes around on the ice and schedule everything for the night. Today he is plowing snow for Casey, since they are out of town. He has about 13 properties to do. I am working at home today but Jeff left the key in his pocket for the Acura so we are stuck here without a vehicle.

The girls and the boys

Qwin and Sienna look so much a like I just had to add in some pictures of them at the same age. One of the pictures of Sienna is a little older but she is wearing the same shirt so I added that one in.







Last week Logan and Jeff got to go to the Snowcross with my Dad and brothers (and Aubry). They had lots of fun. They also went to the gun show and visited Nicole.
