The 4th of July Weekend

We started the day off by going swimming at grandma's house,
the ladies have become quite the little swimmers.




Then we got together with our neighbors and did
a bunch of fireworks. The girls LOVED it.




Carter slept through the entire thing. Even during
the dry ice bombs that our neighors just had to do.


(eww horible picture of me)

What one to choose?

These are my 2 different birth announcmens I have
please leave me a comment on wich one (or both) you like
and think I should send out.






The ladies were playing school and this is what I
saw on the dry erase board.

How Cute

I bought this wipe case for Carter online.

Isn't it just so cute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is my mom's Birthday. She is THE best mom!

Although I do remember her always making me

do my homework.

She was always teaching us things, like how to cook,

sew and many other talents she has. (too bad I didn't

catch on to either of those talents of hers) One thing

I did learn was how to REALLY clean a bathroom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MOM!

I LOVE YOU!!

Pool Time Fun

Today I took the girls to the neat little swimming pool
that has a play ground in the water and 2 water slides.
The girls had so much fun except Hailey was a little
upset when they wouldn't let her go on the water slides.
She is 46 inches and you have to be 48 inches. WHAT A
BUMMER! As you can tell Carter REALLY enjoyed the
time outside.

Talkie Talkie

Carter is starting to talk a litte. It is so cute!

(yes that is the wiggles playing on the t.v.)

4 WEEKS

WOW Carter is already 4 weeks old. It has gone

by so fast.

Play time with Hailey.

The video is for grandma so she can see how

big her grandson is getting. There isn't a lot

going on but it's still fun to see him moving

around.

Tiny Toes

Everyone says Carter has long toes. I just think

his toes (actually all of him) are just so darn cute.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day DAD! I love this picture with
you and your remote control tank.
I love you!

since the last post

The reason why I haven't posted in a while
is because I haven't gotten a lot of sleep.
I guess when you go 5 years of sleeping the
ENTIRE night and all of a sudden you are getting
up 2 times a night for and hour each time will
make you TIRED! How did I do it with the
ladies. Maybe I just forgot.

So since the last post there hasn't been a lot going
on. I had a wound check and they said it looks GREAT!

Hailey tried to peel and orange and it squirted her in
the eye. (that's why she is sporting her goggles)

We had Hailey, Tristen (nehew), and Adam's (my brother)
birthday parties.

Carter now is totally into tummy time. He loves to lift
his head and look around. Oh and he had his first BLOWOUT!

Brynn has just been hangin around trying to make Carter
stop crying. (she hates when he cries)

new car and lost tooth

June 4 we got a new car. We got a Honda Pilot.
It is so nice not to have to try and fit 3 car seats
on one row. Hailey gets to sit in the very back by
herself. She thinks it's SO COOL!





Hailey finally lost the second tooth on the top.
The tooth fairy is going to be broke if she keeps
loosing teeth.

8 POUNDS!

So today we visited the doctor and Little Carter

is 8lbs and 2oz. He is finally filling out.

Yesterday we went to church (Carter's first time)

look how cute he looks in his little outfit.

My little Star Student

Hailey had her 1st grade graduation yesterday and
she was awarded "A Honor Roll" She has worked so
hard to keep her STRAIGHT A'S.
This year went SO fast I still can't believe she will
be starting 2nd grade.

Carter

The Best Helpers

Brynn and Hailey are always asking to feed or to

hold baby Carter. They have been a VERY big help

with getting diapers and holding him when I can't.

I am SO greatful for these to sweet little girls.

During his stay in the NICU.


Hanging with Aunti Ashley



Getting checked out because he was grunting and
flaring his nostrals.....that's because he had fluid
in his lungs and hence the stay in the NICU



With one of his big sisters before they took him


with his other big sister

I will post more NON hospital pics when I get

a chance. Thank goodness for drugs!!!

No Induction for me

Today I got the Amnio. It wasn't bad it was
just a little stick and a good sized cramp. Then
count to 5 and it's done.
I am now scheduled for a C-Section on friday
the 23rd. This little kid won't stay head down
so they say it is to risky for me to be induced while
he is pretty much breech. So tomorrow I will be
sliced open! Sounds like fun! I know you all wish
you could be like me.

The talent show

(pause the music below)

Hailey is on the Left

Hailey and her friend McKenna danced this year for

the school talent show. They did a great job! Hailey

is already planning for next year with Brynn.

Toothless Wonder

I picked Hailey up from school yesterday and she

came running our and yelled "I LOST MY TOOTH!:

Her friend Linda pulled it our for her. What a nice

friend. The toothfairy visited last night and left

$2.00! WOW!

It is so cute to see her try and talk with her tooth

gone. She just looks so different to me.

Mother and Daughter Day

Yesterday we had our mother/daughter day for our ward
it consisted of painting nails, making soap and lip gloss.
We even got to choose the color and scent of our soaps
and lip glosses.
Then we roasted hot dogs and had smores.
It was a lot of fun. The ladies had a great time with
their friends.


Here is Brynn roasting a hot dog for her and I.


Here is Hailey eating her smore! YUM!


Brynn giving herself a Pedi.


Here Hailey is making her soap. It was orange and
it smelled like an orange. She even got to put some
glitter in it. SO FUN!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

This is my mom. She's the best mom ever and she's
the best grandma utah there is!!
Happy MOTHER'S DAY mom I LOVE YOU!

Shhh...NO Fighting....it's a special day today

So this morning I woke up to the little chatter of

"c'mon Brynn hurry we have to get this done is Mother's
day. OH and NO fighting it's Mother's day and it's a
special day."

So I knew they were planning something. I just
layed there in bed hoping there would be no sound
of dishes crashing to the floor. Then I hear

"Oh we need to get dressed in some fancy clothes so we can
look good when we wake mom up."

I'm still laying there pretending to be sleeping
and I hear some cereal being poured into a bowl
and then the fridge being opend. It has to be
cereal... next thing i hear is

"WAITE!!! don't poor the milk Hailey, it will make it
go not crunchy."

Then it's time........I stretch and open my eyes and they
yelled HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!


This is my breakfast they made me. The Ice cubes
that are in the water are NOT from the ice maker, they
were prepared last night it the girls little ice cube makers.
HOW SWEET!!!



Frosted Mini Wheats (A lot of them) and some napkins
and of course the water with the homemade ice.

Our Week

Our weeks started off with Brynn getting four shots
so we could get her registered for Kindergarten.
She was not happy because on the first shot she
jerked away and the needle went in a little to far and
hit her bone. OUCH!

So then on Wednesday we hit up the park with
some friends from the ward. Brynn just loves to
go to the park. Especially if there is water.







Thursday started REALLY early. Hailey woke me up
at 4:00 in the morning with throwup everywhere. She
had gotten up to get a drink and was sitting at the table
when as she says " It exploded out of my mouth" she
was so upset because it landed on her homework packet
that she had just finished.

Later that same day she was laying down reading
and fell asleep. I guess when you wake up that early
you go to bed real early. (this is 4:30 in the evening)
she slept until the next morning.




Brynn and her BIG DOG HARLEY! Brynn just
is in love with him. They are best friends. Harley
will even play BARBIES with her. The other day
I saw him with something bright pink around his
neck it ended up being a barbie stuck in his collar.
He was just laying there while Brynn just played.

OH NO!!!

We sold our beloved camry today. It was a wonderful car it had 237,000 plus miles on it and it was still going strong. I wish it luck with it's new owner.



So along with the selling of the car the new owner also got a little extra! Theo's WEDDING BAND!! He took it off to play basketball and forgot to take it out before he sold it.
