Vrrroommmm

Benji loves his car he got for his birthday Grandma Margaret thanks for sending it too him.

Emma

She is such a hugemongous helper. She loves to go what's right. She's always willing to change stinky diapers for me. She was the first in her class to finish 10 book reports that you do on your own time. They don't have a due date either. She just likes to succeed. She's a little dramatic but she's a girl what do you expect. She loves to make you feel loved. I'm so lucky to have her.

Igloos

I forgot to blog about this. How could I?? When I was a kid we made igloos in our backyards quite frequently. We would kind of destroy each others. It was an on going thing. So I HAD to make a igloo with my family. It was super small but it was fun.

Week 5

I can't believe that I'm doing this again. I liked that I kept a journal last time. So I'm doing it again. Just this time I'll take picture of my belly growing more. Well how did this happen?? I guess when the lord wants something he makes a way for it. I'm excited and kind of scared. Six kids is a huge responsibility. But there is a lot of love to be felt with every child you get raise. I'm just starting to feel slightly sick. I'm tired and dizzy. Im so bloated which stinks. I guess it's good to feel the symptoms. I hope i dont get to big to fast. I have an appt april 29th for my first ultrasound. I'll be 9 weeks then. I got my progesterone checked because I've had issues before and it's good. I don't have to take any supplements which will cut down on the icky feeling. I'm due December 1st. I really don't think I'll make it to my due date. Lets hope for a super easy pregnancy and healthy baby. Oh there is this interesting article out there about where the baby implants in the uterus and gender. If you look at an early ultrasound like around 8 weeks and you look in the sack if the baby is on the right of the sack it's a boy and if the baby is on the left it's a girl. I looked at 3 of my kids us pictures and it was right. I couldnt find the other two. The article said that it's about 97% correct. We will see what we see on my ultrasound and it's fun to see if it turns out right again.

Lily's Glasses

I forgot to blog about Lily's glasses. Well she just couldn't see and didn't tell us about it. One eye was 20/100 the other was 20/200. Poor thing. It was so funny when she put them on she had the most amazed look on her face. She looks older and that stinks though

April Fools?

hmmmmmm??????

Utah Weather

The weather around here has been so crazy. It's warmish and then it's snowing all day. Then by the afternoon it's as if it never happened. Crazy

Happy Birthday Bug Wug

I can't believe he's 3 already. He's growing up so fast. I love this little guy. We had my Brothers, 2 of my nieces and my soon to be Sister in law Allison. It was lots of fun.

Fabric Flowers

I'm making as many different kinds of fabric flowers for my girls as I can.

Trip to AZ

We went back to AZ recently to see Jonathan's brother that just got home from his mission. It was lots of fun and LOTS of driving. We got to visit cousins and send time with Daddy. Jonathan has lots of work all the time so during this visit he didn't have to do any work at all. It was nice.

Peter's Funny Faces

My boy make me laugh all the time. He's so funny. I love his silly faces that he makes.

My Babies

Benjamin has been in this "stage" once Miriam was born. 18 months is the time I have to realize that I have tons of fun to look forward to LIKE. He was into everything. He was running off. He was ACTIVE. Not that he's being bad he's just adventurous. But he's going to be 3 soon and that's my magic number. It's the time my kids magically calm wayyyyyyy down. He's still pretty noisy and kinda out of control at church. But it is getting so much better. I love this big little guy.

This is Miriam's monster face. She's in the process of "getting" mommy.

Now that Benjamin is calming down Miriam has hit that "stage". She's nearing 18 months. Although she's VERY different than Benjamin it's still going to be "fun". She's starting to climb. But she'll just sit on the chairs instead of jumping on them and then try to hang from the light above the table. She's isn't fearless like her older brother so I don't think she'll try to run off on her own. She's not so adventurous. But she's just as happy. Church has been a double whammy with both babies not wanting to sit still at all. I love every moment I go through with my wonderful children. Some times at particular moments I think my sanity will go out the window. I know that these moments are to be cherished and enjoyed. They are for my benefit really. I'll gladly take them and learn. I'm so glad I have this opportunity to raise and love 5 wonderful angels.

She LOVES The Piano

See this girl. She tries to get on the piano bench all the time. She loves to pound the piano keys.
And she cries every time I take her down.

Boys for Sale

They will even ship themselves off for you.

No they aren't really for sale.

But they sure enjoyed playing with the boxes we got in the mail.

Benji EATS!

When we were in Arizona I didn't let Benji go outside unsupervised that much. Why?!?! Because he would have who knows what in his mouth. He would be chomping on sand, rocks, grass, leaves, and other stuff. He would just lay flat on his belly and put his mouth right on the ground and dig in. Now that we are in Utah he has found that snow is the perfect treat. One day he got on his coat and boots (oh and just his diaper), and ran outside to play in the freshly fallen snow. We found him by the garden face in the snow chowing down. He looked up with excitement exclaiming EAT!!!

Here are a few more things he likes to EAT!!

His entire fist!

The best one yet! HIS SISTERS HAIR!!

So I guess really any girl will have to know that food of ANY kind (or non food) will be the way to my sons heart. OH DEAR!!

Great Examples!

This is what Lily and Emma have been teaching Miriam this last week.

Emma's Costume

Emma wanted to pretend to be a dog and this is how I found her. She's a funny girl

Peter's Story

We all got into a rocket and flewed to the moon (spuuuushuuuuu) then we felled off the moon and landed on the street and we got squished by a car and died. We didn't die when we feel off the moon on to the earf cause this is the earf. But we just died when we got squished by the car. But we got resurrected. Then we asked someone to make us a house. Then we lived and lived and lived. Cause we got resurrected. De end

Rattlesnake Eggs

Jonathan bought these Rattlesnake eggs from the dollar store. It was soo funny seeing the kids reaction when you open the pouch.
