Brooklyn Two Months!

Here are some pictures of Brooklyn that we have taken in the last few weeks....

 (just wanted to put in that i asked Coleton to feed her while i got things packed up and this is what he did.. he said his hand hurt from holding the bottle, it was so heavy! :)

The boys have really done great with Brooklyn. They love her so much and we really have not had any jealousy issues! She just fits in so well its like she has always been here! Like every kid, it seems weird that she is already two months old but at the same time strange since is feels like shes been home with us for more than that!! Happy two months Brooklyn!

Coletons' Birthday Party

This year for Coletons birthday there was nothing that he was dieing to get but all he wanted was a birthday party so this year that is what we got him! We rounded up quite the entertainment Grandpa the magical clown came and did magic, Ryan Huff came and juggled, and then we had him tie balloons also. The party was Saturday from 2-4pm. I make him a very basic cake and got some goodie bags for the kids that would come. Our ward has a lot of children Coletons age so we decided to invite all 14 since we knew Saturdays are busy for everyone and we might get a handful of them. Well little did i know we would get all but one! They kids seemed to really like the entertainment we got :) They were amazed by the magic and loved the juggling!

Coleton was so excited!

Coleton had a great time at his party. For our gift he got a new booster seat which he was super excited about! He has cup holders and a regular seat belt, so he is loving life!! He had a great birthday and we cant believe our little boy turned 4!!

Brooklyn and Coletons Stats!

We had another chance to take the kids to the doctor!! Coleton went for his four year appointment and Brooklyn went for her two month appointment here is what we found...
Coletons Stats:
Weight- 39.9lbs  78%
Height- 40.0 in    44%

Coleton did really well at the Dr. I told him he didn't have to get any shots since he is still a little terrified after the allergic reaction a few months back so we will still have to go and get his kindergarten shots but we have some time still. Coleton is quite the energetic boy! He is very loud and very lets say dramatic :) He loves playing with Hayden and loves going to the park. He loves making new friends and going camping! He is very independent and loves to try to be like daddy! He loves his bike, though he is a little scared to ride it since we live at the top of hurricane and everywhere is down hill! He loves the sad box and hates the sprinklers (because he hates being wet). He wants to wear footed PJs every night and since we only have three pairs we have to wash them constantly! He hates sitting on his bed when he gets in trouble and will scream loudly while he is in there! After we have a little chat about why he has to sit there i will tell him he can go play again but will most of the time sit there because "mommy, you hurt my feelings". He is sensitive and easily gets his feelings hurt. His favorite shows are Bananas in Pajamas, the happy elf, and captain america (along with spider-man and the hulk) though we don't let him watch them because i don't like how mean they are! He is a really picky eater and loves grilled cheese (but hates when the cheese strings while he eats it and doesn't eat the crust), chicken nuggets, yogurt, peanut butter, celery and any bread as long as its warm.

Though Hayden didn't get looked at i thought we would include him in the post :) Hayden is our crazy little boy! He is a fireball and very unpredictable. He is kind of accident prone and often hits his bigger head on things or fall over. Most of the time he will pop back up stating "ouwie, that hurt" but continue playing as if nothing happened. He will only cry when he is out of milk or "Coleton told him me no!". He drinks milk like no boy i have ever seen. If we let him he would drink a gallon a day! He has beautiful blue eyes and will give you the cute puppy face that you can hardly ignore! He talks quite a bit and is also very loud! He loves his blanket and sippy cut and would carry them everywhere if he could. He gets quite shy around other people and his defense mechanism is to pretend that he can hear them and look straight ahead. He loves to follow Coleton around and they are up for hours at night running around in circles in the room! Hayden loves to watch Dora the explorer, Go Diego go, Cailou, and Elmo! He loves to get wet and is willing to try pretty much anything. He loves pasta, bread if warm, popsicle, and crackers!! He loves being outside and loves to sing, most of the time either "I am a child of God" or "happy Birthday". 

Brooklyns Stats:
Weight- 10lbs 13oz   65%
Lenght- 22 1/4 in      61%
HC- 38 cm

Brooklyn is our precious little girl. We love how happy and quiet she is! She loves to nap on Brandon and is getting the hang of smiling :) She is kind of a lazy eater but loves to eat quickly from a bottle. She for the most part is terrified of the boys since they get way to close, poking, prodding, or screaming at her hoping it will make her smile. She is pretty good sleeping and we just love how mild and cuddly she is. We love our little girl and are getting use to the difference. All in all we love our little ones and they make life exciting!

Easter 2012!

Happy Easter! This year on Saturday, we decided to head to the city easter egg hunt. The boys enjoyed it though there were not actually eggs but candy all over the grass!

   

 They filled there baskets and then home we went!

 On Sunday, the Easter bunny came! He brought a sprinkler with water shoes and little boats for the boys.

They also got ring pops and candy necklaces!

And a car seat toy that vibrates with hand rattles!

 Hayden loves his boat!

 And Coleton loves his spongebob water-shoes!

 Brooklyn had no idea what was going on...

 But she was still happy! Happy Easter!

Three kids, three and under!

As I sit home everyday, i find myself thinking that most moms are going through the same things i am. 

We are all....

-Changing multiple diapers a day, while potty training two others.

-Getting two kids down for a nap and keeping the other one quiet so he doesn't wake those sleeping

-Cleaning up a different array of toys from toys story, to rattles, to trucks.

-Breaking up fights between kids, who are fighting over a toy or sometimes nothing at all.

-Constantly hearing one child or all children crying for some reason

-Packing extra clothes, snacks, and sippy cups for every kid so you can go to the store.

-Constantly counting heads while your in public to make sure #1-3 are accounted for!

-When your husband asks what we have to eat you list off grilled cheese, Pb&j, or dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets.

In my mind every mom is doing the same things everyday and i am no different. We are all sleep deprived, needing adult conversation, and look forward to get dressed in nice clothes (meaning anything not stained and fits nicely after just having a baby) to go on a date that is way over due! Though every mom feels the same way, there is one difference between most moms and me..... i have three kids, three and under!! I know there are some that feel my struggles but as i go out of the house with all of them i am shocked to see peoples faces and there amazement when they realize how close they are all in age with no set of twins! I have to admit when i hear other women who are pregnant with there second and there first in just over a year i think to myself, wow she is crazy but then are quickly reminded with the noise in the back round, that i am the crazy one! I love my little family so much and honestly, i wouldnt change it but when i really think about it, i find myself agreeing that Brandon and i are a little crazy! Brandon took this picture during conference last week and she says that it truely represents our life right now... two boys wrestling with a newborn hoping they don't get any closer! To all you moms out there with three kids three and under, i know how you feel!!

General Conference!

This past weekend was General Conference.. Here is what we did while we listened to the amazing speakers..

We got snacks, dips, chips and candy for conference and it kept them quiet for a while which was great but as you can tell, though we really tried, we didnt get to hear much the boys did pretty good but after a few speakers it got pretty loud and crazy. They were so excited to see President Monson since that was the only one they could recognize but we look forward to many more conferences as a family!
