Jordan's 5 Month Pictures

My friend took more pictures of Jordan and I think they turned out great! Luckily he was in a pretty good mood, that always helps! I think he's pretty darn cute, but I might be a little biased!

Happy Birthday Brynners!

Brynn turned two on the 24th (I know I'm a little slow posting this, but things have been crazy!) We didn't do too much on her real birthday because we were having a joint party with her cousin Madison the next day. Grandma came up from St. George to celebrate with us and that was lots of fun!

Brynn is such a sweet little girl...at least that's what everyone thinks, but in reality, she is a little stinker. She loves to torment her older brother and does it whenever she gets the chance! She loves to read, play with kids at the gym and in nursery, torment her brothers, color, play with playdough, take her shoes off whenever we are in the car (very annoying!)...plus lots of other things I can't think of right now. She weighs all of 23 lbs, which is the 5%, but she is in the 70% for height, but she eats like a horse, most of the time! She's starting to talk more and more...it took her a while to get started, but she's getting the hang of it.

We love our Brynners and don't know what we would do without her! Hope you had a great day!


These pictures got posted in the wrong order, so start at the bottom and they will make a little more sense!





Brynn likes to ride on the back of the wiggle bike with Jaxon...he has figured this thing out, it's quite fun to watch. I told Jason we have the perfect house for them to be able to ride it inside and he asked if that was a good thing or a bad thing and I told him I hadn't figured that part out yet...it keeps them entertained, so I guess it's a good thing!



Jaxon's ball took a while to get to the pins, so he decided to lay down to see how many pins he knocked over!



Jordan hanging out with Dad at the bowling ally.



We decided to go bowling for Brynn and her cousin Madison's birthday. It was the first time my kids had ever gone bowling. Jaxon liked it well enough, but Brynn didn't really care for it...she did it about four times then was done with it...she just wanted to hang out with grandma the whole time!



Brynn on her wiggle bike, it's actually called a plasma car and it is a lot of fun...the kids love it!




Brynn and Madison's cake...I made the cake and I must confess, I am not that good of a cake maker, so it doesn't look fantastic, but I thought it turned out ok...it didn't help that the cake fell in the middle because I had to use a crappy pan...let me tell you, that cake had plenty of frosting in the middle of it...yuck!





Present time! I'm pretty sure Jaxon was more excited than Brynn was, he just knew he got to play with whatever toys she got!



Pizza time! We had pizza for lunch and Brynn was sitting by her cousin Madison and Madison was putting her plate in her mouth and swinging it back and forth and Brynn thought it was hilarious and then decided to do it for herself...it was pretty cute!



The tradition in our house is that we decorate each person's door for their birthday and in the morning they see their fun decorated door, so this is Brynn's door. Jason got her up Saturday morning and said she was very excited to see her door decorated...what a fun surprise!

Soccer!

Jaxon had his first soccer game on Saturday, which was a miserably cold day! He was excited for his first game, then he got there! Just kidding, he actually had a lot of fun, but it was so cold! All the kids were crying, shivering, and just wanted to go home! Jaxon really did have a great time, but he thought the object of the game was to run with the kids and push them over...I guess if you can't win, cheat! We were playing against a team that was quite a bit older and bigger than our team. Add the fact that our kids didn't really know what they were doing, and we lost pretty badly, but the kids had fun, well most of them! I think Jaxon's favorite part was the oranges and juice! We look forward to this Saturday's game in the rain...is it ever going to get warm?!

Easter Outfits

So, this is the best picture I could get of my kids in their Easter outfits, we were on our way to church and I wanted to take a picture really fast, but we were running late, so this is what I got...not great, but don't they look so cute?

The Basement is Finished!

The basement is finally finished! This picture is from the first night Jason pained down there...he was spraying the primer, and he had a great time doing it...not really! We are so happy to have it finished, well it's not totally finished, the bathroom isn't done yet, but we are happy to have it most of the way finished. I wish I had more pictures, but I don't right now, hopefully I will post more later, if I remember! Jaxon got moved down last night and he loves it...his room is so much bigger than is old one, he has more room to make bigger messes!

Thanks Jason for all the hard work you did to make our basement so beautiful!

Easter Fun!

Easter this year was kind of a bummer! Jason came home sick from work (which he never does he has to be REALLY sick) on Friday and that started our fun weekend. He felt better enough on Saturday to work on the basement and was feeling better by Saturday night. Well, Sunday morning at around 5:45 Jaxon comes in our room crying because he threw up in his bed. He threw up one more time about 15 minutes later. Then, I was getting Brynn's breakfast and she threw up, just a little bit (Do you think it could have been the fact that she was eating a sucker at 7:00 in the morning?!).

So there went all our fun Easter plans, like going to Church, and going to Jason's parents' house for an egg hunt, instead we stayed home and watched like 5 movies, pretty boring if you ask me. Don't worry though because by the end of the night, I had the same crap the other had...fun stuff! Luckily I didn't throw up and everyone is healthy now! Needless to say, I didn't get pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits (I tend to not like throw up on their nice clothes!) so I will have to do that next week!

The kids did have fun though having a little egg hunt in the house and going outside later to blow the bubbles the Easter Bunny brought them...oh the simple joys!













On the 11th, we colored Easter Eggs. The whole process was over in about 10 minutes because I couldn't handle it anymore! They kids had a fun time though and thought it was very interesting...well Brynn really wanted to drink the coloring, they stuff with vinegar in it...yum! FYI...Brynn is a total cheeser for the camera if you couldn't already tell!










On the 10th, I took Jaxon & Brynn to a flashlight egg hunt in our neighborhood. Jason was sick so he stayed home with Jordan. It was a lot of fun. The kids got impatient waiting for it to start, but once it did, they had a great time. Jaxon was a little bugged that he could only take 10 eggs, like that wasn't enough!?

Finally Uploaded Pictures From My Camera!

Admittedly, I am terrible and uploading pictures from my camera to the computer in a timely manner, so that is the reason for these giant posts with tons of pictures, so hope you don't mind!



When we got our drywall done for the basement, the workers were taking their garbage and stuff out the window well and the kids thought it was great, they sat there and watched for a good 5 minutes. I am SO glad we hired someone to do the drywall, so nice to have it done...now bring on the paint and carpet is scheduled to be installed on the 22nd! Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!



This is Jordan and his cousin Sam who is two weeks younger than Jordan...but you couldn't tell from the picture. Jordan has his four month appointment on March 23 and he was very little (12.9 lbs which is the 5th percentile, but his height was the 75th) so with some supplementing and medicine to help me produce more milk, three weeks later he was up to 14 lbs!




Jaxon was invited to a birthday party where he was supposed to dress up as his favorite super hero, so he chose Mr. Incredible. Luckily, my mom came up a couple of weeks before the party and made this adorable cape for him, isn't it awesome?! I really should learn how to sew, but that would take a lot of time, which I don't have any of right now!



Isn't he cute? I love that little smile!



I am so excited for the basement to get done for this reason...I can get rid of the corner o' toys in my living room upstairs...I hate the toys, but love that cheesy little girl!



Brynn insists that we swaddle her baby because she sees us swaddle Jordan, the only problem is she has a royal fit when she comes unswaddled, but yet, she carries her by the head, so what can you do right?



I love this picture, I think he looks so handsome, even if he is in a pink bumbo!





At Jordan's four month appointment, the doctor wanted me to start him on food to try to get extra calories in him...so I started solids and these are the results...the food went in the mouth, and promptly came back out! Not sure how much he actually ate, but he seemed to like it. I even made my own baby food, not as hard as I thought it was going to be!




Jaxon loves to help Jason in the basement and Jason gave him these ear plugs to wear while he was down there and Jaxon thought they were pretty cool and I thought they were pretty funny!



If she had more hands, she would have carried more!








My parents came up over Conference weekend, so we had a get together with my sister and her family and decided to do a little egg hunt. It was a lot of fun and the kids thought it was great and ate all of their candy in a little less than an hour...amazing!



Does he look scared? He should because Brynn kept trying to climb in the seat with him...poor Jordan, if he can survive Brynn, he can survive anything!




So, with Jordan I will cover his eyes with his feet and play peek a boo, well, Brynn thought this would also be a fun game for her to play...isn't she cute! And yes, so does have a constant runny nose lately, so that is snot you see in all of her pictures! YUCK!
