4 Kids!!


Last week I had the pleasure of watching my sister's 2 boys for 4 days while her and her husband went on a much needed cruise.  I love these 2 boys and we had lots of fun.  


They weren't always the cleanest, but they were loved!!

Tyson had so much fun playing on Conner's Smart Cycle!!  And watching TONS of Scooby Doo!
(Notice who is on his pjs.)

Conner and Tyson had lots of snacks, and they always have fun playing together!
(Sometimes they have a hard time sharing, but what 2 kids don't?)

Preston looks really homesick there, but he had just woken up from his nap.  He really did have fun, just look at Tyson!

My living room was always covered in toys.  The kids pulled out everything they could!  I didn't care because they were having fun.

Proof that Preston really was a happy kid!!  Isn't he just so cute?  I absolutely love that kid, even though he didn't really sleep very good.

I am so glad I could help out my sister.  This was the first time she has ever left Preston.  She is constantly watching my kids and helping me out, that it was nice to finally give back.  I feel like I am such a slacker of a sister.  Nicole, I am so glad you had fun, and were finally able to take a REAL vacation!!  I will even help you out the next time you go away!!

Happy Day!!

We have been waiting ever since we moved in to this house (2 years) for this bathroom to get done.  I am so excited to say that it is officially done!!

These first 2 pictures are what my main floor bathroom looked like after a good friend came and installed our toilet and sink!!



This is my favorite part about this bathroom!  I love this mirror so much.  We bought it forever ago and I have just been patiently waiting for the bathroom to get done so that I could hang it up!

My little brother stained this shelf for me before he went on his mission.  I finally have a place to put it!  Thanks Sheeby!!

We are hoping that with this bathroom downstairs Conner will FINALLY be ready to potty train.  It is helping a lot, but I have not been consistent about making him go.  Maybe I should work on that.
My 2 wonderful sisters bought me the cute pink rugs and towels for my birthday 2 years ago.  Thanks so much they look great.

Messy, Messy


Anyone that knows my baby knows that she loves to eat.  She loves her bottle and she loves baby food.  Anything that will go in her mouth she loves!!

I started letting her get a feel of her food.  She gets really messy, has so much fun, and then cries when I have to clean her up.  

She does give some cute faces while she is digging in!  Like this one!


This face is my favorite!  She stopped licking her bowl to look at the camera!

A New Baby in Town!

I am announcing our new little baby.  She is very cute.  She has very little hair, a really cute bow (sometimes a hat), a cute pink dress, and blue eyes!!  She is such a good baby.  She sleeps excellent, and doesn't make any noise.  You are very lucky to get the first glimpse of this little one!














Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she is also very plastic!  Conner loves to play with this little baby doll that Vika got for Christmas from her Grandma.  He likes to rock her and put her to bed on the couch.  He is such a good big brother and will someday be a great Daddy.

Picture Time


Conner asked to hold Vika, which he does all the time.  So I decide to take pictures.  This is what happened.

Conner's eyes are closed!  And Vika is content looking at me!

Vika's eyes are closed!  And Conner isn't looking at me.

Finally, one with both of them looking at me, and their eyes are open!!


I may be a little biased, but I think these are the 2 cutest kids ever!!

Big Kids


I can't believe how big both of my kids are getting.  Conner went to Sunbeams on Sunday.  He had such a great time, and he has great teachers.  At first he clung to my leg a little bit, but when he realized that some of the same kids from Nursery were in his class he was fine.  Our ward has a very large Primary so every age group has 2 classes.  Its actually really nice especially if you are a teacher.  

I seriously can't believe how fast he growing up.  We got to talk to my little brother over the Christmas break and Conner said Hi to him and he thought it was Tyson, who is 18 months older than him.  That moment made me realize how old he is and that he is just growing up too fast for me.  

Vika is now 8 1/2 months.  She has started crawling and is now all over the house.  If she could she would be running all over the house.  You can just tell when you see her crawling that she would like to go faster than she is able to.  She has been eating so much lately.  I seriously can't keep her food stocked, she goes through it way too fast.  I was just thinking this morning that in 4 months she will be 1.  And then in October she will 18 months and she can go to Nursery.  She is getting too big for me.  

What am I going to do with my 2 big kids?  I am just glad that I am able to stay home with them all day everyday!  I love kids and I don't know what I would do without either of them.  They make me smile and laugh everyday!!

Friends Trivia Friday


I would like to know what your ALL TIME favorite moment in Friends history is!  I don't have one because I am in love with the whole series, but I do love the episode when Rachel tells Ross that she is pregnant.  Great Ross quotes right there!  Including the whole part about how they should put on the box that condoms only work like 97% of the time!!
