Happy Birthday Randy!

It was Randy's birthday on September 22nd. He is getting to be such an old man, turning 34 and all! I love this man! He is such a fun, kind hearted, silly, hard working and loving man. Our boys all adore him and want to be just like him. If he is not home they are lost. As soon as he walks through the door every single one of them are crawling all over him and will not give him a break. He loves spending time with his family and gives his boys whatever they want! There have been many of nights that he falls asleep with them in there beds because they always want him to lay with them. He will do anything for his family and I am so grateful for having a hard working husband that wants me to stay home with our kids and will work extra hard to make sure that happens. Thank you Randy for just being you we couldn't make this family work without YOU!!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday.


Oh and just for the fun of it I thought I would post this oldie but goody.

A Little Family Fun!

A few weeks ago Randy was cleaning out his garage and found croquet! I used to love this game when I was younger and we decided to play it for family home evening. We even convinced Cam to play with us YAY! We had so much fun together, although I do have to say ALL of us were a little scared of JAXON! When it was his turn he would yell, " my turn!" Run over to the spot where everyone else was at, put his ball down, and before he would swing we would all run far away from him. That kid better make us some money someday when he plays sports. The kids loved it so much that they have got it out to play multiple times since then. I love those nights when everyone gets along and just has a good time. :)

I just realized that I put cockiness instead of colickiness!!!! OOPS

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MONTH MAKES

I know this is two posts in a day but I had to put this one on before I forgot. I realize that babies grow so fast but it seems like Kason is growing faster than the others. I wanted him to stay tiny for a long time but I guess he has other plans. I took him in the other day for his 1 month well check.

This is Kason at 3 days old, weighing in at 5lbs 9oz. 18 inches long!

This is Kason at 5weeks old, weighing in at 9lbs 4oz and 21 inches long!

Is there a formula, besides starving him, that will make him stop growing? The doctor seems to think that the cause for his cockiness is eating TOOOOO much. She wants me to try to feed him every 2 and 1/2 hours instead of 2. This is much easier said than done. When he is hungry he will let you know it! It is not a very loud cry but it is a cry that breaks my heart! He has been much better since taking him to the chiropractor last week so we will see what happens. All I know is that we make dang cute BOYS!

Grateful

I am feeling very grateful today. I have to say Kason has given me a run for my money this past month! Don't get me wrong I LOVE MY SWEET BABY! It just has been so different with him, you think this being my fourth I would have it down. (definitely not the case)Anyway back to I am grateful.. I could not have made it through this last month if it wasn't for my wonderful husband!!

He has been such a big help to me. He took 2 weeks off to stay home with me which was a first. Laundry, dishes, making breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever it was he did without me asking him to. Even now after a long hot day at work he comes home and jumps right in to help me and I don't think he will ever comprehend how much that means to me. Thanks Randy I love you!


Now, the other night I started coming down with a head cold. Randy took the kids up to my moms for a little while so I could rest. When they got home they went and showered and went to bed because Randy told them I wasn't feeling well. We thought they were in bed but we kept hearing little footsteps upstairs. Randy went up to see what was going on and this is what he found on my pillow.


In the heart it says love T.T and B.T ( just in case it wasn't clear) My kids are really in to putting their initials on things lately. I open it up and inside there is a cute picture that Trenton drew and it says, "I hope you feel better. "( Trent said it was Brayden's idea to do this but he feel asleep before it was done:) That made my night and I am so grateful that I have thoughtful boys. Everyone says boys will be boys and I know that but I want my boys to be sweet boys as well. They will probably kill me when they get older for posting this but I think its adorable. I love all my boys and am grateful for them in my life!

LET ME BE YOUR MANAGER!

Our little Kindergartner had a big day today. When I picked him up from school he was telling me that they went and watched magic in this other room today. He was all excited because he was chose to be a helper. He told me all about the magic trick and they let him keep the card that they caught on fire and then it went back to normal. He showed me the card and we talked about putting it in a safe place so he could remember the exciting trick that he was a part of. Well, later today I went and picked Skylar and Trent from school and the first thing they said was that they had a mad science assembly in school that day. I guess there were a bunch of classes that went and it just so happened that Sky, Trent and Brayden were all in the same assembly. They said that they picked Brayden out of all the kids there. He was a little celebrity because when we got home our neighbor told me the same thing. I should have sold his autograph. I asked him why they chose him, if it was because he was so cute or because he was being so good. He said it was because he was so good. He has been such a shock since he started Kindergarten. I thought he was going to have a rough time but he absolutely LOVES it!! (Thank goodness)

Kason's Blessing

I don't know if I can explain how I felt yesterday during Kason's blessing. I guess you could say it was a little bittersweet. Knowing that this is the last time we will be blessing one of our children is sad. On the other hand WOOO HOOO!!!! Randy did a wonderful job and I cried through the whole thing. Then he came to sit back down and informed me that Kason had filled his diaper during the prayer and there were a few chuckles up in the circle. I went out to change his diaper and there was only a tiny bit there. Afterwards Grandma and Grandpa came over to take pictures and needless to say Kason was not cooperating. He has been really colicky for the last week and his blessing day was no exception. These are the few good pictures we got for now. We are definitely going to have to dress him up another day so we can get some more. Besides Cameron said he wasn't feeling good so he wasn't in any of the pictures. We all meet up at grandma and grandpa's for dinner. It is overwhelming all of the help that our family gives us. Everyone brought something to contribute to the meal which helps us out so much. Thanks to them the dinner turned out great! It was a special day even though he was not the happiest little man. We could feel the spirit so strong and want to thank everyone for all your help, love and support!
