What is your favorite Monica quote?

Mine is 'Yeah right this place is a hole.'  She is talking to Joey after the girls had to move into the guy's apartment.

Thanksgiving Trip

We are going to St. George this week for Thanksgiving.  We are meeting some of Dave's family from California at Teri's condo.  It should be lots of fun to see family that we don't get to see regularly.  

We are also making an unexpected trip to California.  Dave's grandpa just passed away.  We are all very shocked and saddened by this news.  We were planning a trip to see him next month, so that he could see Vika.  

Wish us luck, and a safe drive!

Conner Says the Funniest Things

This is just a picture of Conner eating breakfast.  I thought it was hilarious that he had to wear his baseball hat with his jammies.

I am really sorry if this turns out to be really boring for most of you, but I don't want to forget some of Conner's funny sayings.  I really hope you enjoy!

*"I not doing anything wrong."

*"Conner need go potty.  I get potty candy."  (we give him a piece of candy if he goes potty.)

*"I wuv you Mommy"

*"Mommy Baby Vika is awake."

*"Mommy I watch Scooby Doo Where Are You.  Got work to do now."

*"I just teasing."

*Whenever he spills anything he says, "Conner almost spill, Mommy."  He really likes the word almost, but doesn't really use it correctly.

*"Baby Vika not a doll, she just Baby Vika."

*"Conner not cute, Conner handsome."

*"Spank a bum"  He can't say the sp sound so it sounds like, "Fank a bum".  

*"Mommy I need deodorant."

*"Mommy I wearing my church shoes"  He wears them with everything, even his jammies.

I really hope this video works.  This was supposed to go up on my birthday, but I couldn't get it to work.  I really wanted to share it because I think its really cute!

Friends Trivia Answer

So since no one tried to guess the answer I will just tell you.  The T-shirt said, FBI  Female Body Inspector.  Rachel shows it to Ross who asks her if he can have it.  

Friends Trivia Friday

When Rachel goes on a blind date with Phoebe's massage client, played by John Lovitz, he gives her a T-shirt.  What does the shirt say, and who wants it at the end of the episode?

How Old Is He Again?

Conner loves to put on deodorant just like his Daddy.  I think its hilarious.  Even though he smells like a man I still let him put it on.

Rather than have to deal with a huge mess of a brand new stick, we gave him one of Dave's old ones that is completely gone.  This has been working really well, but just today he figured out that his was different and now he is asking for Dave's again.

Heavy Breather

For such a long time now Vika has been breathing really raspy, and deep.  We had no idea what was going on with her, so last night I took her to the doctor.  He totally put my mind at ease, and made me feel so much better.  

People would say that something was seriously wrong with her, and I would just brush it off and say that it was just how she breathed.  But in the back of my mind I would think that something was wrong.  

The Dr. said that it could be a combination of 1 of 2 things.  The first one is called Laryngomalacia.  If it is in fact this one she would just have to outgrow it, and there is nothing I can do for it now.

Laryngomalacia (literally, "soft larynx") is a very common condition of infancy, in which the soft, immature cartilage of the upper larynx collapses inward during inhalation, causing airway obstruction. It can also be seen in older patients, especially those with neuromuscular conditions resulting in weakness of the muscles of the throat. However, the infantile form is much more common.

The second is Reflux.  She has reflux for sure because she is constantly spitting up, but the question is if its causing damage to her vocal cords and making her breath so loudly.  He gave me a prescription for the reflux if I feel like she should take it.  

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), Gastric reflux disease, or Acid reflux disease is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux in the esophagus.^[1]

This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. This can be due to incompetence of thelower esophageal sphincter, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the esophagus, or a hiatus hernia.

I just need to figure out if its a combination of the 2, or if its just 1.  Either way she is just fine, and she will continue to be totally fine.  Thank you everyone for your concerns, but please don't worry anymore. 

My Crazy Life

I am going to warn you right now, this is a long rambled on post.  This is what I did last week.

 

Conner has a weekly sleep over at Grandma Teri's every Sunday night.  He loves it, and he will beg to sleep over almost every time we are there.  It has been really nice to have one night a week where Conner does his own thing without Me or Dave.  He is growing up so fast, and he seems like such a big kid when we leave him there for the night.  

Thursday was my birthday!  I spent the afternoon and evening with my sisters.  They bought me lunch at Mimi's Cafe and then we went shopping at the mall.  I feel like I am getting so old because we were walking around the mall for only 2 hours, and I was totally done being there.  I couldn't take it anymore.  Don't get me wrong it was really fun, and I love hanging out with my sisters, but I guess I just like to sit around and talk.  When we were done at the mall we went to Scrapbook group.  I always look forward to this night because we just hang out and sometimes scrapbook.  We always have so much fun, and share funny stories.  Andrea made yummy cheesecake dessert, and I ate a lot of them.  I had a lot of fun, and I got home really late.  It was a great day!  Thank you Deb and Nicole for everything you did for me on my birthday, you made it such a great day!!  And thanks Andrea for letting me hang out at your house and eat all your cheesecake!

Friday night was my friend Nancy's baby shower.  I had so much fun at her party!!  Tammy did such a good job planning and making it a great night.  I am so excited for Nancy to finally be having a girl after her 4 boys.  She got so much great stuff, and I can't think of anyone who is more deserving than her to have gotten spoiled like that.

Saturday was a very busy day.  Dave and I helped his mom by cleaning out one room in her basement.  We still have 3 more rooms to go until we are done.  The deal is we clean and they watch the kids.  After we cleaned we went to my Grandma's 80th birthday party.  It was a big surprise party, and she was totally surprised.  She thought everyone had forgotten her birthday, it was kind of sad when she told me that.  It was nice to see my extended family that I don't normally see.  After the party Dave and I watched my sister's 2 boys, at my parent's house, while Dan and Nicole went to the Temple for a wedding.  I just have to say that I am really not ready to have 4 kids.  Conner didn't help at all because he didn't get a nap and so he was very difficult, to say the least.  It really wasn't too bad, but I wasn't in a good mood because I was tired.  I ended up cleaning 3 big messes, one of which was totally my fault.  And I had to break up a couple of fights between Conner and Tyson, but that is totally normal.  They just like to play with the one toy that the other one is playing with.  If you ask Tyson the only good kids were him and Preston.  But that really isn't the whole truth.  I don't like to single out just one kid, but if Conner could have been able to cope with life it wouldn't have been so bad.  I love playing with Preston and Tyson, and I will do it again willingly.  But next time I would like to be at my house or Nicole's.  

I am looking forward to this week because we don't have as much going on.  Dave bought Carrie Underwood tickets for my sisters and me for this Wednesday night!!  It was my birthday present and I am so excited to go.

(Sorry about the lack of pictures.)

Friends Trivia Friday

Why does Phoebe break up with Gary, the policeman?

Funny Baby

Vika loves to play in her jeep.  She is so happy, and content just playing by herself.  I absolutely love it when she plays in it, it gives me a chance to do things.  

I love it when she scrunches her nose up.  It totally makes me laugh.  

Friends Trivia Friday

When Ross cheats on Rachel he has to take care of the "trail".  What is the trail?

Sillyness!

I just had to share this video.  It makes me laugh!!

Whats New

We have been so busy, and I keep forgetting to update, so here is just a few things that have happened since I last posted.  

Conner had his 3 year Dr. appointment.  He has grown up so much, and is so big!  He now weighs 31 pounds, and is 36 inches tall.  He looked so big standing up on the scale!  He had a lot of fun at this appointment until they gave him a couple of shots.  

Vika had her 6 month Dr. appointment.  She had a little bit of a cold, so I can't say that she is perfectly healthy.  She is now 14 pounds, and 24 inches long!  She seems so big to me, but she is only in the 17th percentile.  I have learned to not pay any attention to percentiles when it comes to my babies.  They are always on the small end, but they are healthy and they grow at a normal pace for them!  

Dave's Uncle Joey came for a visit from California.  He got here the day after Conner's birthday, and so we had another little party for Conner so that Uncle Joey could give him his gift.  Conner and Vika loved spending time with Uncle Joey!  He took Conner outside everyday he was here and played baseball, and jumped on the trampoline!  He had fun holding Vika for the first time, and getting to know her.  

We had fun going out to dinner with the whole family.  We went to Ogden to this steak place called Prairie Schooner.  The tables are all in covered wagons, and they have everything decorated to look like you are outside in the wilderness.  

Left side of the table, front to back: Steve, Aarin, Grandma Teri, and Uncle Joey.  Right side of the table, front to back: Me, BayLa, Conner, Joanna, and Alissa.  Not pictured are Dave and Vika.
