Little Monsters

The kids were playing in Nehemiahs room (or so i thought), so i was enjoying some quiet time, when i realized, quite time doesn't exsist....and that motherly instinct kick in and i knew they were into something. Sure enough they found daddys hair gel! My first instinct was to get mad, but then i couldn't help but remember the pictures of me at that age sitting on the bathroom floor by myself cover from head to toe in vasaline. Needless to say I let it slide, it made for some cute pictures!

*Updates*

Ok so for starters, CHRIS GRADUATED!!!! YAY FINALLY! :)
<
We move to Houston Texas (for the summer)

Mchelle started crawling in the Middle of May, as soon as that started she was pulling herself up on all the furniture and standing. On June 13th she got her first two bottom teeth! Her favorite new food is avocados.



We took the kids to go see Toy Story 3, Nehemiah LOVES Buzz. So latley Buzz has been flying around the house. He also loves to play at the park with his cousins.




All in all we are doing well and having a good ol' time out here in Texas!

Happy 6 Months Birthday to Michelle!!!

Ok so I can NOT believe that my little princess is already 6 months. She is a DOLL. Time goes by way to fast when you have babies...and I dont like it one bit! So at 6 months she's 23 pounds, 29 inches long, way off the charts, wears size 12-18 month clothes, wears size 4 diapers, wears a size 3 shoe, is talking away, grabbing everything in sight, smiling all over, LOVES her brother, can roll halfway over, sits up like a champ, has lots of slobber but no teeth, sings herself to sleep, not sleeping threw the night, loves Gerbers banana strawberry apple medly, and brings us all so many smiles and SO much happiness! I love you Michelle!

Easter

Easter was really nice. The Thursday before Easter Family Graduate Housing had an Easter egg hunt, that was Nehemiah's first. For his age group they just spead all the eggs all over the black top and let the kids go at it. Nehemiah didn't really get it, he thought they were balls so he started throwing them and he pegged this poor little girl in the face...poor thing! Nehemiah enjoyed himself for sure.




Saturday night after I put the kids down, when i was arranging their easter baskets Chris came over to look at them and said "Since when is easter Christmas?".... Okay so maybe I went a little overboard, but I dont care it was for my kids and it was fun! Nehemiahs favorite little present was his mini Toy Story characters he got. Thats definetly his new favorite thing is Toy Story. He LOVES Buzz, with a passion!




Michelle's favorite toy was that little flower rattle we got her.



We mostly spent the day watching Conference and in between sessions we decorated our eggs. Nehemiah used his Toy Story stickers, Chris colored with cayons, I took pictures, and Michelle watched.






Our Lovely eggs....


I cooked my first ham...let me tell you that was so much work (not). I made some rolls (that was a bust) and I also made some Mormon potatoes. We took our cooking over to our friends the Kolste's and enjoyed dinner with them. It was a really nice day and Im so greatful I got to spend it with my little family.

California Trip

So I had always planned on being at Brock's Farewell and I'd followed Allegiant air for the past months waiting for the prices to go super low...which they never did and towards the end they got Really expensive. Then we found out for sure that Chris was going to have to work that week, and i just felt defeated, I just given up hope that i could be there. But then i talked to my mom like a week before his farewell and told her i wasn't going to be able to make it. After i got off the phone with her it hit me, Since when have i ever just not gone to something so important, and the answer is NEVER so why was i going to start now? Needless to say, I changed my mind, I loaded up the kids and took a sweet journey down to Carlsbad. It actually worked out because i was able to pick my Aunt Susan up in Salt Lake, then we picked my Aunt Christy up in St. George and Christy drove the rest of the way to Carlsbad! It was a super fun trip and my Grandparents on both sides were able to come. I'm very grateful that i was able to be there, that Sacrament meeting was so incredible, my Dad's talk was amazing, and then of course Brock's talk was very profound. I love my family so much and am so proud of Brock and his choice to serve a mission!

Michelle with Grandma and Grandpa Moss before they had to leave (Nehemiah wouldn't cooperate)




My kids LOVE the beach!




I got to watch my mom rock out with her band CBAD 7!



My Mom and I also went to visit Michelle's and Shannon's graves and I took this sweet Picture of Baby Michelle with her namesake.





It was a REALLY fun trip and I'm so glad I got to spend so much time with my family! Love you guys!

First Solids!

So Chris and I were sitting around last night, just hanging out eating dinner when he said, I think Michelle wants my food...shes ready to eat, LETS FEED HER! My initial reaction was NO WAY! My baby is too little (at least I'm in a dilution that she is). Plus feeding her is the next step in her growing up :(. All we had in the cupboard were bananas baby food, so, that's what she ate for the first time, some bananas!






She definitely liked the bananas, there was weird facing making or spitting out. She sucked them all down till she finished half the jar, I'd say that was a lot for her first time. I'm sad my baby is growing up so fast.....cant i do anything about it?

Im getting old

So i guess its official I'm ageing. You know how kids say the darntest things? Well Nehemiah doesn't have to talk to tell me im getting wrinkles. It's his new thing to come up to me with his eyebrows raised, wanting me to raise mine, then he'll run his fingers along my forehead and laugh.....

After he does the raising eyebrows he then brings them down to the mean face (still wanting me to copy him, and if i dont he will manually try to make my eyebrows go low). Then he'll continue to run his hands on my wrinkles....funny Mommy has wrinkles huh?

Sibling Lovin'

Just for smiles I thought i would post some cute pics of my beautiful babies! LOVE THEM! :)

Valentines Day

Valentines was a fun day. We went to church then came home and made sugar cookies. It was especially fun for me because it was the first time Nehemiah "helped" me! He LOVED it! He definetly liked the dough more than the actual cookies! haha, thats okay that just meant there was more for Mommy!



CHEESE! haha





Oh did I mention...He LOVES his sister?
