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

It's Official!

It's Offical That Jake HAS WAY TOO MANY CARS.
We decided to take a picture to document this Obsession that Jake has. The funny part is that this is only a FRACTION of what he has. These are the ones that were in his room, where we could easily find them. Now I know he has at least double what is shown in Matchbox Cars, concidering that he got 30 New ones for Christmas!! But he does LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his cars and it has kept him busy for hours.

It's Official That We Have Started Potty Training!!
Ok this one is quite the Achivement!! We have been attempting to do this now for MONTHS! I got so frusterated because he would pee BEFORE we got to the potty, or we would sit on the potty for 10-15 min, and he would pee right AFTER!! I got to the point that it was just easier to have his diaper on. Well a few days ago I was going to be home all day, and so I thought I would give it another try. We got his Underwear on, and like before he Peed in them. I had one more clean pair that I could find, and they had cars on them. I told him he couldn't get his cars wet, or he couldn't wear them anymore. Well, we had a successfull potty after that. AND GUESS WHAT, he has not wet in his pants since!! Something must have just Clicked, because he is totally good about it now, I want to know what changed...But I probably never will!! But I really don't care why, because I cannot tell you how DANG EXCITED I AM!! We are still doing diapers at nap time, and bed time. But the cool thing is that he has had little to NO pee in them when he gets up, and he has started going to the bathroomall by himself. We went to the Dollar Store and got a canister and some treats...and he has such a love for stickers that we got some of those too! So he gets a treat and gets to put a sticker on the canister, and he loves that he gets to put stickers on it just as much if not more than getting the treat! Anyways here are a few cute pics of how excited he is about it!


It's Official That Jake is NOW OBSESSED with Buzz and Woody.
I had to find Toy Story, and I finally Found it on VHS?? Remember this, it has been FOREVER since I had watched something on VHS! I am sure that there are kids that don't even know what VHS is, how funny. But Jake loved the movie, and now plays with as he calls it, 'Buzz Woody'. He is too cute! And we have watched that movie so many times since I got it!


Well...I am done for the MOMENT anyway!! Thanks for reading, and Letting me Brag about my Cute AWESOME Kids, that I LOVE SO MUCH!!
