Jordan's Birthday (Oct 22nd)

(This post is a little past due) Jordan turned 5 on October 22nd, we had an early birthday party because I was out of town on his birthday. Jordan had fabulous time at his party with family and friends, he had a Transformer party(and had already planned is 6th birthday idea ha ha). I can't believe my first born is 5 wow!!! where has the time gone? We are so blessed to had Jordan in our family, he is a very smart energetic boy who is always thinking of others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! this year we stayed home and cooked at our house(never cooked a turkey before) and had my dad and his family over. Dan did a lot of the cooking and did a wonderful job( and a really hot cook) everything turned out really nice, yummy food, outdoor football, wii and watched the movie Four Christmases. All in all we had a great time, I'm so grateful for everything in my life and I'm truly blessed. I love my family so much and couldn't ask for anything better in my life.

My Dad's wedding

My dad finally remarried after 23 years and I couldn't be more happy for him, I always wondered why it took so long but now I know: he was waiting for his love Natalia and they are perfect for each other. They married on September 26.2009(Dan and I now share an anniversary with them) Our family grew and we are all so happy, my dad just has my sister and I and now with Natalia two boys(Jonathan and Giavonni) he finally has boys. We have all gotten along from the very start(have to mention Natalia is 6 years older then I)so when they decided they were getting married we were overwhelmed with joy. The wedding was perfect and couldn't have gone better. Congratulation dad and Natalia we love you guys!!!

Luke's doc appt

Luke went in for his 6 month checkup at 7 1/2 months(a little late) but he is doing just great and growing like a champ other then he had a ear infection, he weighs 18 pounds and is finally getting a little chunky. He did awesome until he had to get 4 shots I felt so bad. I can't believe how fast he has grown he is such a joy to be around and those baby blue eyes just melt your heart.

New haircutter in town

G-ma Ann normally cut the boys hair but while I was out of town Dan decided to by his own cutting supplies and cut the boys hair himself, I do have to say I was a little nervous but he ended up doing a great job.

Luke/4 months

Luke is 4 months today, where has the time gone? this little guy has been such a joy to our lives and makes us smile daily. Luke is such a little guy but does so much he has to be sitting up all of the time(loves to play with toys in high chair) likes to talk and giggle, he sleeps through the night and awakes bright and early (6:30-7:00). He also loves to sit in his bumbo or saucer and just play.

We love you sweet Luke :)

Soccer

Jordan and Ryken had there first soccer game over the weekend and they both did awesome, they are so fun to watch(3, 4 and 5 year olds) Ryken was hilarious to watch he was all into it and was throwing elbows and pushing whoever got in his way, he even got mad when his own team scored because he wanted to score himself and then to top it off he huddled with the wrong team, he was all in their huddle cheering and yelling it was hilarious.

Potty Training

Wow!! this was a task I was dreading terribly, Ryken is a very stubborn headed little boy and also very busy and the thought of potty training him was not going to be fun. Last Thursday I woke up and was getting the boys ready for the day and I decided that Ryken was going to wear "big boy" underwear and he has done AWESOME! We are so proud of him, he has had a few little accidents but that is a given. I love to watch his face when he knows he went potty and gets a grin from ear to ear, I also can't even tell you how nice it will be to only change one kid(Baby) We have not had a break from diapers since Jordan was born plus we will save lots of money.

Way to go Ryken!!!!!

Kylee

Today Dan blessed our neice Kylee, she is such an adorable little girl and we love her very much.

Moab/Easter weekend

Luke stayed behind at Grandma Ann's for the weekend while we were in Moab, we missed him very much. I love my happy boy this is his first Easter(3 months).

Whitney's, Anderson's and Starley's

We had a great time in Moab over the weekend even though the weather wasn't the best, the boys had a blast just being able to run wild. We also went to the Arches for a couple little hikes and had a Easter egg hunt for them. I will post more pictures later when I get on a better computer(I copied these from the Anderson's thanks!!).

GOT MOAB!!

Slacker

Last week I took the boys to Discovery gateway and our friends(the Fitch's) came along and they all had a fabulous time.

Ryken and Addi

Ayden

Luke

Cowboy Jordan

I have been slacking on my blogging and also because our computer crashed. Not much has been going on, Jordan had a eye infection and gave it to me and also his papa Bell and when that was over he got a cough which passed to Ryken but his is much worse. I feel like they have been sick forever. I FINALLY got my gym membership at 24 hour and also got a trainer, my first session was on Saturday and it kicked my butt(which I totally need)I can tell the trainer will help me so much because it puts pressure on me to do good and not wuss out. Luke is now 2 months and is cute as ever, he is such a good baby. Dan has been slammed with work and will be taking a trip to Asia very soon.

Kids Saftey Fair

Friday the boys and I went to the Kids Saftey Fair and had a fabulous time.

Similac Formula

Does anyone use or know someone that uses Similac? I have 3 of the pre-made similac bottles(just put your own nipple on it) and then I have a 8.0 oz can of the Isomil Advance formula and I hate to waste it so if you know anyone I would love to get it to them.

Happy Birthday Ryken

Happy Birthday to our Ryken man, today he turned 3 and I can't believe it I don't know where the time has gone. Ryken had a fun birthday party tonight with family and friends. We are so thankful to have this fire ball in our lives and love him very much.

Happy Valentine's

We hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine's day.

My new man crush

Anyone that knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE! Matthew Mcconaughey is amazingly gorgeous but I'm adding another hottie but Matthew will always be number one, but I do have to say that I'm loving McSteamy (Eric Dane) he is yummy eye candy.

Kids, gotta love them

So it been about 4 1/2 weeks since I had Luke but my sweet boys keep telling me stuff I don't want to hear, I know they are just kids and they don't really mean/know what they are saying but it's still sucks to hear it.

Jordan: Will ask every know and then when our other baby will come out, he will also walk by and (ok I totally stopped typing for a minute because a FREAKING spider just walked across my keyboard YIKES!!). Anyways Jordan will walk past me and pat my stomach and I hate it because it jiggles and he knows what he's doing.

Ryken: The other day Ryken said Mom I'm eating all my food and I'm getting full and my stomach is getting really big like yours.

Seriously why do kids have to be so blunt?

Just wanted to post a couple pictures of my three favorite boys. I'm not saying three is easy but it's not as hard/stressful and I had thought it would be and ya I have my days I want to pull my hair out but don't we all? Jordan and Ryken are still in a crazy/sassy phase and little Luke is changing to so much, we all can't wait for spring/summer so we can play outside, go to parks, swimming, camping etc.

Happy B-day Hubby

Happy Birthday to my amazing wonderful freaking hot husband!!!!
