It's LIAM

This is Liam's representation of himself. Notice he has no mouth but he was sure to put five fingers on each hand, and he gave himself a belly button.

Baby's car seat

I hate the boring plain patterns on most car seats, so i cover my kids seats to better reflect their personalities. Since I don't know much about this little one's personality yet she just got a cute baby pattern for now.

Of course that is isn't a real baby, I just needed something to adjust the straps, and she just looks so cute.

Our baby girl's first dress

I found it at a yard sale for fifty cents.

BASEBALL!

We went to a baseball game for Father's day (well the day before). Since it was before Father's day the were giving away ties at the gate, that's why Liam is wearing a tie.


The boys had a great time trying to stick the foam finger up their noses (and everyone else's)



Aunt Emily introduced the kids to blue cotton candy and blue sno cones!

I was wrong!

We are having a girl!! I was so sure that we were having another boy. Now I'm really confused. I don't know what to do with a girl, I have no clothes for a girl, I have nothing girly in my house at all.

Just a little something

I just thought I write a little something since it's been awhile since I've updated. Nothing much different around here. I'm sick of school, my husbands never home, I don't like being a single mom, I'm in a lot of pain related to the pregnancy, basically I'm just feeling down about life.
On the up side of things, we get to find out what type of baby we are having next week, I already know it's a boy but just like the last 2 times no one believes me.
Liam can write his own name but won't do it. I was watching him play with a magnadoodle and he wrote perfectly L I A M. I've asked him to do it again and he refuses.
Harry's going through the tempermental twos, the slightest thing will set him off and someone better be there to offer a hug and his rocking chair.
I'll try to let everyone know after the ultrasound that I was right.

When Harry doesn't get a nap.

Going...........

Going..........

GONE!

Our very own blob!

Head, body, arms, legs, and a heartbeat. What more could you want.

Darkwing and Josh

My current favorite song and my all time favorite cartoon!

DISNEYLAND!!!

Our first trip to Disneyland!

Liam and Minnie.

Where are we?!

Harry the wizard.

Liam and Aunt Missy goofing around.

Harry was pooped by 5 o'clock.

Finally we got to see Mickey!

I'm Pregnant!

I am sick to my stomach, exhausted, achy, and gearing up for 8 more months of the same and then some. I'm so excited! I'm building a whole new person!

Liam's Career choices

He is working towards being a city planner........

.......or the next Jerry Lee Lewis.

New Diapers

I've been sewing. These are a few of Harry's new cloth diapers.

Liam's Day

Harry's Day

I want my baby

My "baby" is two years old at the end of the month. I need baby to fill my arms when I rock in the rocking chair. I need someone who will let me hold him while he sleeps and doesn't mind me smelling the back of his neck, I need that sweet baby smell. I need a baby to nurse when I'm up at 4am. I miss those first little smiles and giggles, those little sqeaky noises as he sleeps.
I understand newborn babies, I understand they need to be fed, changed, held and loved, and sometimes they need to cry. I can handle all that. I do not understand toddlers, they get upset over everything and there is nothing I can do, they have their own ideas about things, they don't want to be held for no reason, they don't want what you feed them, They don't want to be in diapers but they don't want to use the potty either, and I don't know how to help them.
There is only one thing to do about this problem. Make sure my toddlers are safe, warm and loved and have another baby.

Happy New Year part II

the new year.....

sparkling cider.

Happy New Year!

This hasn't been a terrebly exciting year, just school and junk. We got a new car in June (thanks dad!), Jason started his new exciting career in journalism, and we moved all the way from Provo to Orem. We have been on a few trips: Jason has been to California 3 times, Canada, Las Vegas, Colorado, and Pheonix. Amanda has been to Colorado 3 times, Las Vegas, and Pheonix. The boys have been to Colorado twice, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.
This coming year: more school, hopefully a new baby next fall, more traveling for various reasons, the daunting task of potty training Harry etc. etc.

Too many toys!

The boys playing with the "Star fortress command center"

What on earth am I supposed to do with all these toys?
This is only half of Harry's pile, not half the toys, half of Harry's toys. I'm so lucky to have such great inlaws, we didn't have to buy anything if we didn't want to. I'd show a picture of me using my new shower head but this isn't one of those blogs.

Liam Triumphant!

Liam has learned to use the potty! I swear, the first time he went into the bathroom by himself without being asked, I heard the halleluja chorus. It's been a long road but I finally have a little boy instead of a baby.
