My Little Family!

This is what I came home from work to a couple nights ago, it was so sweet! I love my family!

Wesley loves Thomas the Train and I try to build cool tracks for him to play with his trains on

Kambree is 6 months now and has such a cute personality, she'll break out in a smile no matter what

Wes is almost 2 and is getting to smart for his own good, but he does like to help (making his own mess of course) he's always interested with what I'm doing so he can do it as well

At Kambree's 6month appt she weighed in at 19 lbs and 27 in, 95th percentile, I wouldn't trade her chubby legs in for anything

Our Christmas Fun!

So, Christmas was a long, but good day. I'll make this short. As I was finishing wrapping Kambree woke up at 1:30am and stayed up til 4am. Wes woke up at 6:30 and the day started, on 2 1/2 hours of sleep. We opened presents, it was so fun to see Wesley excited about it, Kambree was cute too, and than headed over to my mom's house for breakfast. We opened more presents and went back home for kids' naps and final cleaning and cooking for dinner. My motherinlaw, sisterinlaw, and her boyfriend came over and I cooked a big turkey dinner. I was very proud of how it turned out, very yummy! It was the first time I did it, we put the turkey in a pit and it turned out great, thanks Kari's inlaws!, and I had fun preparing it! Wesley was so wired from the day so he went to bed late, so I was up for a long time with no sleep, but it was well worth it!

Kambree is 5 months!

Kambree is such a cutie! She is so interested in what everyone's doing and has to know where a noise is coming from and what's making it. She loves to watch Wesley with whatever he's doing and will laugh at him when he's running around crazy.

This shot doesn't give her chubby thighs justice, they are so big and chubby, I love it! She has strong legs and would rather stand then sit. She is so happy you can't do anything but give her kisses all day long!
She turned 5 months on Nov 20 and loves to hold onto anything and test it out with her mouth

Wesley's new thing is that before any trip in the car he has to have a turn in the driver's seat. He honks the horn, steers the wheel, and hits every button more than once! He's so funny!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving day was great, really low key and relaxing. We just hung out at my mom's and had a great lunch! I love this time of year, spending it with family, and eating yummy food! Below are some funny pics that we are sending to my brother in the mission field as a joke.

Kyler, my brother, loves and is obsessed with dr pepper, so we're sending him a pic for him to be jealous of. (funny part is my dad doesn't drink soda)
Kyler's favorite meal is mashed potatoes and gravy and would seriously have an entire plate full before moving on to the rest of the meal. This is my sister making my brother jealous for my mom's yummy mashed potatoes. I am so grateful for the hard work my brother is doing in Montana!

We Are Not Ready For Potty Training!

So, this post is kind of gross, but I know for sure Wes is not ready for potty training, not yet. I rarely let Wes just run around in his birthday suit, but I was getting him ready for his bath tonight and he took off and thought it was funny to run around the house, so I let him while I'm doing other things and after a few minutes of not hearing him I find him in the bathroom, and he won't let me in. I peek through and there is poop... everywhere! He stepped in it and smeared it everywhere, I think the sickest, biggest mess there's ever been. And of course I had to clean it because Robbie had warned me not to leave him naked, so it will be awhile before we do that again. I just had to laugh while cleanin it up because it was totally my fault.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun! We went over to my mom's, my sister's fam too, and we all went trick or treating. This neighborhood goes all out, one house does a haunted house and everybody sits on their driveways. We had major costume issues, apparently I don't know the sizes of my children and kept buying wrong ones, but Wes ended up being a mouse and Kambree was Snow White. Kambree slept through most of it, but Wes had a blast and loved the candy he was getting!

These costumes were so cute but all too small. The giraffe was given to me and the monkey was from last year, but he's so cute in them! By the time I tried on the dog, he was tired of playing dress up, I don't blame him.

I loved the ladybug costume and was really bummed when it didn't fit, her legs are just way too long. I tried on part of the monkey costume on her and she looks just like a little monkey! She was cute as a princess though.

Finally, An Update

So, life has been pretty crazy getting used to our new schedules with me working every night and Robbie working 2 jobs, so there isn't much extra time for fun blogging, but the kids are still cute and we are still having a good time!

Wesley is so funny and does not like to sit still, so anyone with cute ideas to keep kids quiet, especially during church let me know. He is happy as long as he's kept busy, but I love running around with him!Kambree is so much fun! She just had her checkup and is off the charts for both height and weight, she's a little michelin baby! She's rollin and jabberin and unfortunately, knows when I'm not there, because she cries until I get home, which can be a couple hours. Little stinker, she just started doing that and is about to drive her daddy crazy.

Kambree loves tummy time, eating her hands, and rolling over!

We went to the zoo recently and Wesley's fav part, of course, was the petting zoo, where he can run around and chase things. I don't think Kambree was too thrilled, but it was so nice outside!

Above is a pic of Wesley and Robbie and Me and Kambree at our visit at the zoo.

Kambree's legs are so strong, she doesn't like to keep them still. In the stroller she likes to kick up her legs!

Kambree is 4 months now and kicks so hard when she's on her tummy and scoots herself around, it's so funny!

My crazy Wesley has found a new infatuation with sitting in a car. He just wants to pretend he's driving and try out all the buttons. He goes up to any car and trys the door handle to see if he can get in.

Getting Big!

Kambree is 3 1/2 months now and is so dang cute! She loves to hear her own voice and smile! She has major thunder thighs and is definitely teething. She's a drooler and any time my hand is near she lunges forward so she can naw on my fingers. She is tough too, barely flinches when a flying toy lands on her, poor thing, growin up with an older brother. haha

Wesley is just so big, even though he's sitting in the baby's chair, I can't believe how fast it's gone, he looks like a little kid and not a baby anymore. Wes loves to be outside and on the go! As long as he's doin something exciting he's happy! He is so goofy and likes to pretend to be dinosaurs and monsters and scare eachother.

Cute Kiddos

Kambree is 3 months now and is so much fun. She's rolled over a few times, but not on purpose, and is happy almost all the time!

Wesley is kind of the opposite, he's a lot of fun, but harder to keep happy. I gave him another haircut and I love it short, so that's how it's stayin. This is him eating the mousse bottle after his haircut. Yummy.

I've been working on my brother's blog so check it out. it's kyler-calledtoserve.blogspot.com. He leaves Wednesday morning for the MTC. I'm so happy and excited for him, but sad not to see him for 2 years.

Random Pics

It's Been Awhile...

So here's a recap of some events that have been going on. My brother's open house was on the 23rd and it was great! My mom and her friends put together a great reception! It was so nice to see relatives and friends that I haven't seen for awhile.

These two are so easy going and seriously came over right after getting out of the shower, they are so cute, luckily I had threatend my brother to put gel in his hair because on the wedding day he didn't. Anyways...

This is me and Kambree. I love big bows and flowers on her. Maybe this one is over the top, but I love it. My cousin has made me such cute headbands, flowers, etc. It's so much fun, for me at least.

Wesley's haircut...I finally gave in and cut Wes' hair. You'd think I would cut it all the time being a hairdresser, but it took him such a long time for his hair to fill in that I didn't want to. I didn't go as short as I wanted, thinking he wouldn't be good, but he was so cute. He stood up on the chair while Robbie entertained him unwrapping candies. He was so good and since he did good soon I am going to give him a crew cut.

On Labor Day we all went over to my mom's and had a bbq to celebrate my brother Kasey's birthday. He turned 15. My fam is so crazy, I love being over there!

Please ignore my brother, who is going on his mission in 3weeks by the way, showing off his pot belly. We will definitely miss his personality at home!

Crazy Kids

Kambree is 2 months now and getting so big, she's a little chunker! She's so observant and loves to be held up on my shoulder so she can see everything! It's so funny when I put her on her tummy she doesn't try to put her head up, her butt goes up and her feet start kickin and she actually scoots herself across the floor.

This is Wesley helping me make brownies, chocolate was everywhere! He is my little mess maker, anything he touches turns into a mess! So, pretty much all day I'm just following him around picking up what he's just gotten into, oh well he has fun!

Utah Trip

My brother Korey and his new wife Crystal on their special day.

Poor Wes, after a long car ride, just wanted to run around, so it was a lot of fun trying to control him, especially with balloons on the ground.

Robbie and Wesley

So last weekend my brother Korey was married in the St. George temple. It was a quick, but long, trip with 2 kiddos. Kambree did so good, slept most the trip, and Wes was a trooper but had his moments. We left at 2am Friday mornin so that the kids would sleep most the way, got up there just in time to see them come out of the temple, took pics, had a luncheon, and than the reception, so it was a busy day. It was great seeing family that we don't get to see too often! Saturday we hung out in St. George and found some fun things to do for Wes. We left Sunday mornin about 4am and stopped by Robbie's grandpa's to visit in Flagstaff which was fun, but it was nice getting back home, especially since I was sick that day, throwing up in the car, yuck. So, good luck to my brother! It'll be great seeing them again Sat 23rd at the open house down here!

Kambree

Kambree was blessed this past Sunday. She looked so cute. My mom made her dress, which has a story behind it. The bottom piece is material from my mom's wedding dress, the top is my wedding dress, the middle lace is my sister's wedding dress, and the rose buds are from my niece Daisy's baptism dress, and it turned out so good. My mom is great! The blessing went good, my dad was able to bless her, I'm so greatful for him. Quite a few of my relatives were able to come and Robbie's mom and sister came too. So, besides Wes screamin and Robbie havin to step out, it was very special.

This is a pic of her kind of smilin. It's hard to catch her with the camera. Since the first day she started smilin, she smiles all the time. It's so funny all I have to do is smile real big and laugh and she breaks out in a huge grin!

Firsts

There are a lot of firsts in childrens lives. Yesterday Kambree smiled for the first time, I can mostly get her to smile when I laugh funny. It's so cute, so hopefully we can catch a pic soon of it. Wesley went to nursery at church for the first time yesterday. I was really nervous because of what a stinker he is. But to my surprise he was so good, I was so happy. I kept peekin in on him and he was just playin, havin fun, until the last 10 minutes, when my sister went in to do singing with them and I guess she reminded him of me and he just wanted out. So overall I was proud of him, I am so grateful there's nursery because trying to play the piano in primary with him running around was hard!

The Babies!

This is Kambree at 4 weeks, she is getting so chubby! I love chubby babies! She is awake more everyday and she's so interested in what's around her. It's amazing how fast they grow.

Wesley is my little character, he loves, loves being outside! He grabs his shoes and walks to the door and says go, go all day long. He's so funny!
