YUMMY!!

So what else can you say about BROWNIES!!?! I love them...before or after they are cooked. And my kids love to clean up...
And I just wanted to say how much I love my husband, he is such a great person. He loves me unconditionally {which can be really hard at times I am sure}, he helps around the house, and he loves playing with the kids. What more could a girl ask for!??! LOVE HIM!!

A Day in the Sun! {finally}

So we decided to change it up a little, and not be hermits anymore...Since it was so nice out, we headed over to Thanksginving Point for a little Farm fun!! Jake and Sophie are such a good age now to really enjoy it. They got along great, Sophie Bossing Jake...and Jake Bossing Sophie. They loved the Carrige ride, and the Pony ride the best. They have been really into horses, and have picked some really odd horse movies on Netflix. But we had fun un-hermit-izing ourselves. The weather was great, and I even got a little burned. LOVE THE SUN!!!
So just a little Background info on the next pic. These 2 kids are SO SO Bossy, especially to eachother. Jake kept grabbing Sophie and telling her to get into Jail...So this is what she did back...in a really growly mad voice. It was so funny!

(Notice her two finger point, it is so funny that she points like that)

Sophie's Pretties

Sophie is such a Girly Girl. She loves everything that makes her look pretty. She loves to Scream!! And She is SO STINKING CUTE!! I just had to post these cute things, she got these snap together beads. They are so fun...only something at this point she does with CLOSE supervision becasue Jake and her like to make a Big Ol mess with them!!

Sophie is in Love with:

She loves these two shows. She can Quote them, sing along with them, and I LOVE how cute she is when she does. She Sings...Da Da Da Dora...I da Map, I da Map...and she says I wish with all my heart. She is getting so big, and I Love Hate it. I cannot belive that she is 2, and growing up so much lately! I love this girl, and so glad I can be her Mama!

Catch-Up

Hold on people, this is going to knock your Socks off...I haven't blogged for almost a month, and I was going to be better...well?? So here is a good one!

To start off Check this Sucker out!

I am not even kidding when I say...WHY DO I BUY HER WHITE SHIRTS??? They look so cute, but they stress me out. They only stay white for 5 min, if we are lucky! So I had to take a Picture of what they look like at the end of the day.
Yah, EEWW!!

So Jake is getting so OLD!! I just realized today is his 1/2 Birthday...and he is 3 1/2, where the heck did time go? He is so smart, he has learned to read a few words. Jake has such a contagious smile, and he makes me laugh everyday. He also makes me cry too... He is a good button pusher. He love his Little sis, and his Brother. He is a big helper, and 90% of the time will run grab things, turn off lights, find my keys, and takes a nap. Although the nap thing USUALLY comes when Charlie gets home. It makes me so mad that I want him to sleep...he won't hardly do it for me! He loves to ride his big boy bike, play outside, get dirty, go on walks, play at the park, and cause Havoc. But I love him, and I really would have such a boring life without this kid!! He loves to sing primary songs, and always makes me sing 'I love to see the Temple' when we drive by it. He loves to go to church, and all collared shirts are 'church shirts'. He talks so cute, and messes up saying like I do...One of my favorites...You silly 'Jerk', I did quickly correct him to goose. He exaggerates all his k sounds. He has started always asking 'What time is it?', and 'Whats that about?'. Oh, and the faces he pulls...the one below is his new favorite one, such a funny boy!
Oh, Sophie Sophie Sophie. There are no words to describe this little Sassy Girl. She has turned into such a tender hearted, feisty, diva, and become such a girly girl. She hates to get in trouble, but lately has been getting in more and more trouble. She gets to stand in the 'corner' for time out. She is the best time out kid ever...she goes in, and does't even try to get out until I tell her to. She loves Dora, and anything Princess or Buzz. Quite the extremes. I belive I may have to start watching Dora with her, since Sophie is probably going to start speaking Spanish...LOL. She is a little Parrot, and repeats ANYTHING, and EVERYTHING she hears. It is so cute to hear anything come out if her cute little mouth...it all sounds so stinkin CUTE! We are having a hard time getting her in trouble, because she knows just what to do to make us do that 'ohhh, but she is so cute' thing. She has started to fight back with Jake, and he doesn't like that when he teases her now, she DECKS him. No Joke, Jake has been brought to tears because of it! She loves to do anything that Jake does, she loves her dolls, playing cars, watching movies, Eating PIZZA (she has eaten 3 regular slices in one sitting before), dancing, going on walks, her blanket..and her mom of course.She sits really well to get her hair done, if she has fruit snacks. She has the cutest giggle, and is constantly laughing or smiling. Still suck on her fingers when she gets tired, and has to have her blanket to go to sleep. She is good at pulling faces, I am sure it has nothing to do with her brother...
Oh, MY!! I just simply adore my little Kason Boy. He is such a happy baby. He has been bigger by quite a bit than the other 2. By almost 4 lbs at their 4 month checks. Jake was 12.5 Sophie was 12, and Kason was a WHOPPING 16.3!! He has been such a Joy to have in our home. He is great...until it is time for Nighttime bedtime....he likes to not go to sleep, and wake up every 3 hrs. He is getting better but by golly, my other 2 were sleeping 10+ hours by 6 weeks old! Oh well, I knew this day would come, I could only be sooo luck with my first 2. Kason is so fun, he has started grabbing things which has been bad on a couple occasions...my 44oz during plummeting to the floor, and almost dumping my dinner on him because he pulled them!! He lives to be held, he is defiantly a mommy's boy, he loves to play with his toes now, he has chubby little legs, he likes to scratch, he has the most adorable smile, he is super ticklish (I love to tickle his little neck), he has been my longest nurser...probably because I get to stay home, but I am grateful for that, and he is a curl up side sleeper just like his mom! I tend to sleep with him in our bed more than I did the other kids because I am more tired, and he sleeps better with me and I sleep. :-) Kason loves his Bouncer, he is a maniac in that thing. I love him so much, and no matter how hard it is, or how tired I am by the end of the day...I would NOT TRADE it for ANYTHING!
I love my Family, and am grateful to have such a supportive husband. I couldn't do it without him...I LOVE HIM! He is a great daddy, and the kids love when he gets home from work. They love to take him Lunch and go to his work.

We got to go to Vegas a few weeks ago, here are some pics of that...we spent MOST of the time at my Sister CaLea's soccer tournament! But we had fun in the 80+ degree weather! Not to mention that it was nice just to get away for a few days.

A common random weekend for us is to go shooting with Charlie's family. This particular time was fun, because we got to use our new camera and get some AWESOME shots!

More to Come...

So in my header...don't you love Jake's face, he was pulling them on purpose!! He is such a stink!! But it made me laugh when I saw them, they all (maybe like 5 that we took) all had a similar face. We were so lucky to be able to take my Sister CaLea to Vegas this weekend for a Soccer Tourney...2 words 'eighty degrees'. Pictures to follow soon...when I get home. But I have a bit of catching up to do, between: Sophie's 2nd Birthday, our Vegas trip, Kason's 4 month check...sneak peak to that (16.3 lbs). Yah, see you soon Blog, but I am out for now.

Project 'Sophie's Birthday'

Well, I have yet again begun something new. I came across this super cute project, and had to give it a whirl. Sophie just had to have it for her birthday. This will be the first time I have tried building something with wood. I am definatly flying by the seat of my pants. I hope it turns out! It is a secret, because it will be more fun that way. (I will give out all the details, when I am done!)
I brought all the stuff inside, and Sophie thought she was soooo awesome...she thought it was pretty cool that she could carry this!! The funny part is she has NO Idea it is her Birthday Present!! LOL, it is nice that all my kids are young enough that I can get away with not being too sneaky.

So stay posted...I hope to have it done this week! Only time will tell, but I am super excited to get it done!

100 Post!!

Random Factoid...This will be my 100th Post since I have started blogging!

On to the fun stuff now!

We went to The Discovery Gateway with my Cousin and her Boys. I really wish we had gotten a group shot, but alas...they were too busy having fun! It is such a fun trip! Here they are as New Anchors. These ones of Jake were a MIRACLE...he was wired by the time we got upstairs, and was quite literally running from one side to the other. There were so many things to do, and Jake couldn't get enough.

Here is part of the town place...the House, Sophie LOVED the kitchen. She liked putting things in and out of the cupboards. And she liked all the 'little' things.

Ok this little thing...was so cool. There were a bunch of places to put balls, my favorite was the one that sucked them up. It blew their hair all over when they opened the little hatch. Jake liked the ones he had to crank up.

CRAZIES!! Sophie tried to walk up the Dome Wall...and Jake had to join in. I love these kiddos, they are so much fun, and make everything MORE fun! The other two pics are the construction zone...And you get the pleasure of seeing Sophie's 'cheese' face even!!

The Farm, and the gas station in the Town. Sophie really liked the horsie! And rode all the little bikes and things...and actually got stuck under one becasue she tried to get out by going under it?? Such a funny girl. Oh, and I love all the mini 'leather' furniture!

What a Hoot, here she is UNDER the little car.

They got SOAKED, but had a blast playing in the water. I am pretty sure that they were so soaked that they were wet the rest of the night.

Overall, an awesome trip, there was so much for them to do. And they loved it. We decided that we are going to have to make the trip every once and a while...maybe buy a yearly pass. The best part was it was nice to get out of the rutt, and be out of the house!!

Lots of Pictures.

Downloaded a Bunch of pictures off my camera... Here is what I found...to be continued too!!

A little Zoned watching a movie...the ONLY way to have a few minutes (and I mean a few) to let me get a few things done. No I don't leave Kason with them...They love him TOO much to be safe!! :)

Such a cute boy...who couldn't love this. His sister sure does love him!! She loves holding him. She is too cute with him. Love them!

Ok, so I put Kason in the tub, and he held onto his seat for dear life...it was definitely picture worthy!

Kason's cute shark towel he got for Christmas from his Aunt Lizzi...it is super cute!! And he makes it cuter!

Well, for the last few weeks, we have all had the ickies. Jake probably got it the worst...it took him a couple weeks to get rid of it. We are still fighting the boogies that won't seem to go away!!

And Sophie has grown very fond of Jakes old Jammies...who can blame her she looks up to Jake and loves playing with him. You can find her in her Pretties (necklaces, purses, etc.) playing with cars, trains, and Playing guns with Jake...Love it. They get along well...half of the time!

The Sharpie Adventures...I SWEAR I put them away, but when I forget the Sharpie Monsters always get them.

The Culprit...

The Damage, with the victims. Even the Doll got it, and I am glad I caught it before Kason did, he was next in line I am sure!! Dang Sophie...it is rather funny though that it wasn't Jake...Kindof surprised Actually!

I gave Kason a mini trim... because his hair is getting all rubbed off. I think I am more sad with him because he started out with so much more...hopefully it will stay a bit darker, but it looks like it is coming in more blonde. Oh well, look how cute he looks in the Cutting Cape...p.s Bumbo's make for an excellent cutting seat!

Here they are tonight!! I sure love these Kids!

And I got this one, Sophie was wanting to lay by Kason while we were watching a movie...and this Picture is so funny of her...She went down for a nap shortly after this. She looks sooo Tired.

It's SO Fluffy

So Our new Movie we watch Over and Over again...Despicable Me. Jake and Sophie (and Charlie) love this show, I do have to admit it is a good one. Well, Sophie has picked up this Quote from it and will say it all day, with NO coaxing. She is so funny, and after she says it Jake chimes in with the raspy 'its so fluffy'... If you have seen the movie you will know what I am talking about. In a way Sophie reminds me of Agnes. Anyway Random Post...But A must!

Bath Time

So I have put Kason into the tub with the Kids for the first time, and I told them "NO SPLASHING with Kason"...well Jake thought it would be more fun to splash him, then soon realized it wasn't. Because he got removed from the tub (and had to sit in the bathroom in his towel until I was done). So there were only Sophie and Kason. She was so funny, she would get soap (doesn't realize that she has to push down the dispenser to get anything so there wasn't really any soap) and wash Kason's belly. She thought she was so awesome. Which she is. Kason hates to be naked, except when he is in the tub. He hates getting his diaper changed, getting dressed...he kind of throws a tantrum. Anyways here are some cute pictures!

Monkey Island

There is this new place in Lehi, called Monkey Island. It is kind of fun...it is all those blow up toys. We went with my family, and I thought it was kind of cool because adults are free and kids 3 and older are only $5.

Anyways a little off subject my little Jake is not so little any more, he turned 3 and now we have to start paying for him when we go places, He is now a little boy. Where has that time gone. It still gets me that he is growing up so fast!

Back on subject, Jake loved this place, and me and Charlie took turns playing on them with him and Sophie. It was funny, because Sophie would just giggle the whole way down. They thought it was great!! So here are some pics.

(sorry the pictures are blury, but it was the best I could do since they were being crazy!)

A culmination of My SLACKERHOOD, turned into a LONG POST!! But I am Caught UP!

All I can say it has been 4 MONTHS since I have really posted anything...So it may take me a couple posts to catch up. But here is what we have been up to and some fun pictures, so I hope you enjoy.

March...

Well March was a Crazy Month, from Sophie's 1st Birthday to Finding out I was Pregnant!! Not to mention that Sophie Decided that she was finally ready to walk, and Jake didn't I guess because he was CONSTANTLY pushing her over. I had to keep a close eye on them. We got to go with the Lone Peak HS Administration to the Roof, and were treated to dinner, I was SO SO glad that I was having a good day that day!! It was Delish!

April...

It was mine and Charlie's 6th Wedding anniverary. Which we celebrated by taking the kids to the Aquarium. Jake loved it and Sophie got really good at saying FISH, but it did get said with alot of spit, and it was really cute. We attempted the Movie Theatre with Jake to see How To Train Your Dragon. He did pretty good until the last 15 min or so. And his favorite part was the kids popcorn pack. And the rest of April was just alot of Park visits when the weather was cooperating!

May...

We did alot of staying home since I found out I was Pregnant because I was so sick. I was sure I was having twin girls, seeing how I was TWICE as sick as I was with Sophie. Jake was WAY stir crazy by May, and he just wanted to be outside. We did my siblings Field Day at school, alot of walks, and trips to the park. And NAPS, I was having a hard time sleeping until I got pregnant and I couldnt stay Awake. Glad my 2 kiddos still take naps, it was a LIFESAVER!

June...

I started feeling better, and I got alot of energy. So we did alot of things OUT of the house, I do have to admit I was home way too MUCH. A big milestone in my eyes was I was FINALLY able to get a ponytail in Sophie's hair, which Jake soon corrected me that they are TonyPails...He is a hoot!Charlie thought I was way too excited about it. I have had ponys and Piggy Tails in I was even able to get 6 elastics in too...Pictures soon to follow. We went to 7 Peaks with my family, and Jake had a BLAST. He also had his first swimming lessons. He did really well, the only thing he absolutly hated was being on his back. He is getting used to the idea, it may take him a while but that is OK. We also tested out the Splash Pad in Highland, it took Jake a bit to like the squirting water, but it was hilarious to watch those 2 play in them. I got some funny pictures of Sophie running away from them. And since the weather finally got nice Jake and Sophie wanted to go swimming everyday, so we decided to just get them a pool. So almost everyday we go out for a dip. It is nice to have it right there, they are both little fish and Absolutely LOVE the water. Oh and we found out too that we will be having another little Boy.

And Now to Where we sit now...JULY

And hopefully I will be able to keep up, because this is a Pain! Well I feel like I have totally gotten HUGE this time around a whole heck of alot faster than the previous two!! I hear it happens, but I am now not wanting to get any bigger. Since I am over being sick, finally, we booked ourselves up this month. We started out the month by staying in a Hotel for a couple days, Relaxing and Swimming ALL DAY!! It was nice to get away, even if we were only 30 minutes away. It started out rough but it all worked out. Long story short we booked a Hotel...Mostly for a Pool so we could play in it all day. We booked it through the hotel chain itself, and made sure there was a pool because we had been tricked before. Well we get there, got into our swimsuits...Low and Behold the pool was under construction. Well we were upset, after a long phone call we got refunded and went down the street to another hotel. It was a little more, but ended up being perfect, we got a room right by the outside door and the POOL! Anyway it ended up being a GREAT trip. We then got home and visited family for the afternoon who were up camping for the 4th. Did fireworks on the 4th with our little family, and had so much fun. Went to the Pool, Steel Days Parade, and the Carnival. And I entered Sophie into the Steel Days Baby Contest, and she WON!! I was a proud MAMA!! Went to the Park a few times, went to lunch with my Brother and His Girlfriend...Who now is offically his Fiance. Yah that is weird, I still think of him in High School. I am way excited though!! I finally will have the Opportunity to be an Aunt when the time is right!! I have been WAITING for that! She is a sweet girl, and they both seem VERY HAPPY! I think that Just about does it. Enjoy the Pictures!

Sophie is such a fun girl, and we decided to let her attemt to eat a bowl of oatmeal by herself. Mostly because she wouldnt eat it while I was trying to feed it to her. She had WAY too much fun eating it though!
Jake now Poses his CHEESER face for the camera when we take pictures, he cracks me up!

They are usually screaming, ok Sophie is usually screaming becasue Jake bugs her in the car. Which is then followed by Jake getting in trouble, which causes him to scream...so this is a GOOD DAY!!

Jake and his cars. I love them because I can get them out and he has been know to play with them Quietly for the most part for like an hour and a half. That is the longest he will sit doing anything. So I have made an investment to them...Dollar by Dollar, because it is PRICELESS!

Well That is all for now, I am hopefully going to post a bunch of Pictures within the next couple of days, but I am burnt out of typing for now!

Thanks for sticking through This one

SOPHIE WILL BE 1...2 Weeks and Counting!!

I still am in shock that she is turning ONE!! Where does the time go!! I could only get these uploaded, the Birthday Cake and Balloons are soon to follow hopefully!! Enjoy! Thanks Dayna they turned out PERFECT!
