I just took this one today, I had to post cause it was so cute. I am so lucky to have these boys. Someone told me you make your life happy if you are happy, and I AM HAPPY!!! Who wouldn't be with these cuties.

I wanted to post a few recent pictures of Xander, he is turned into quite the little fatty pants and he is smiling and talking like crazy. It is so cute I just love this age. I have never had a kid this fat it is so crazy. But I love it he is such a cutie pie.




Excitement in our life....

We recently took a trip to Zion's and it was alot of fun. I wish we we could have went on a hike or something, but the kids are a little small. It is so nice having a beautiful national park right in your back yard. We walked on a little trail and found a stream for the kids to play in and they loved it, they are such little boys, dirty and curious it is so cute.

What a cutie, he is growing up so fast.

Xander was such a good little boy, he slept the whole time, until we were ready to eat of course. Anyone who knows they can sense when you want to eat cause they do too.






Jaxon was playing Mr. photographer, it sucks because we never get any pictures together.

Slacker....








I have been a big slacker when it comes to posting. But I have been a little busy. Kids can be rather time consuming. I hadn't posted pictures for so long there has been a lot of new ones. Easter was great, I love easter its just fun, the kids had a blast and they wanted it to happen all over again. So here are a few pictures from easter.

Hopefully I will be posting more often. We have had alot going on and unfortunately this is at the bottom. But when I have cute pictures to post its fun.

Update!!!!

We got our house! It has been such an experience, it is so nice. Honestly I never really thought I would have this nice of a house. I just love it I am going to post pictures soon, I'm just a big Slacker. I did want to get the boxes out of the way before I post. We have been working on our yard, well I haven't but my husband and his dad and brother have been, what a process, I wish I would have taken some before pictures, but its not close to done yet. But it will be so great and I will be glad to say I am so sick of red dirt in my house and all over the kids, its driving me crazy. Like I need any help.







Thank god I have a great sister that will take pictures of my kids and they are so cute why would I go somewhere else. I love you sis. I just love this first one the color and everything its so damn cute. This is Xander at 2 months, he is getting so big and sooo cute. He is smiling at things, I have to work hard for them sometimes but well worth it. Sorry sis I stole these, I know its lame of me, but he is so cute I just want to show him off.

Dylan turns 2!!!


On March 17th our little Dylan turned 2, he has been in the terrible stage for a while :) That weekend we went to Jumpin Jacks to celebrate, all my family was there. I think it was fun for everyone, no matter what age you are, grandpa and mom. Me being 10 days from giving birth I just sat on the sidelines watching. Dylan had such a blast, nobody could keep up with him he was running around like a crazy man. He went down everything and was not scared at all, he loved it. He is going to be our little wild man we are in for a treat. He must get it from his Dad!!













He had fun opening all of his presents, he put on a little show for everyone, he is a character. He got a bike which he loves he just sits on it when he goes outside, cause he can't ride it. He got so many other toys we don't even know what to do with, they are taking over our house. Thanks to everyone that came and helped with everything, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
Happy Birthday baby, we love you.

The story of life....

Well its been a while and I have been trying to get my pictures on my computer ready to post, life is pretty busy with 3 boys under 4. To get a second to play on the computer is almost impossible. The picture of me pregnant is one of the few pictures I have, but its so hard to remember what it was like I was like what the heck, so right before we left to the hospital inbetween contractions Freddie snapped one. I started having contractions around midnight, but I kept thinking they would go away, so I sat up watching TV, but they stayed and they were sporadic, not like 5 min apart, it would go 8 then 5, so I thought it was fake. I called my mom at 2 am and told her it was time. Her and my sister were on their way, I think they took their time cause I was not for sure. I decided to shower and get ready cause I was sick of looking like crap in all my delivery pictures, but while I was getting ready my contractions all the sudden got really bad. I was trying to finish getting ready I was dying, so I was like fred we have got to go. He called his mom and we left before she even got there, thats how bad it was.The nurse knew I was having contractions close so she checked me immediately and I was an 8 plus, she was like I don't think you will be able to have an epidural, I had always wanted to go natural, but the option of not being able to was too much, and I was hurting worse than I had remembered. It was so wierd everything happened so fast, my mom got there in great time and I got my epidural and it was a good one, I could totally move my legs it just decreased the pain a little, I could still feel everything. It made recovery so fast. Afterwards Xander could not keep his temperature up and he was kind of grunting while breathing, so they watched him close and drew a few labs, but he did good. And we both left the hospital the next day. We struggled with a name because we did not agree on everything. So we finally decided Alexander Eddie. And we have been calling him Xander.

So we were home for a few days and I took him in to check his bilirubin on Sat. and at 5 pm that night I get a call from our pediatricion he said he has a bed set up for us at the hospitial and we need to get there now. So of course I am bawling and worried. Meanwhile I am frantically packing a bag and trying to get a hold of my husband that was at work and I can't get him to answer. So we get to the hospital and he was starving and they were like don't feed him we will get formula, well it took quite a while and they were trying to start an IV on him so he was screaming and so I started bawling. I looked like a total idiot, but it is so sad when your baby is crying and you can't do anything for him, especially when they are so fragile and little. But he was such a good boy it was kind of sad, he just laid so good under the lights, and he hardly ate at all. Anyways we were there for 24 hrs, and his bili came down so fast so that was good. It was nice to be home, and my other boys were glad too.
So two weeks later we are all doing just fine. It has taken a little getting used to for Jax and Dylan, but I think they are getting better. Poor Dylan had a bit of a rough time. Its hard when they are all demanding your attention. If it hadn't been for my mom I probably would be crazy by now. She has helped me for the last 2 weeks and I cannot thank her enough, I have the best mom and sister ever, well I have the best family ever. My grandparents were here for a week helping me and keeping me company. I cannot list all the help I have gotten, everyone has been great.


Sorry for the longest post ever...
