1,2 .....3

Tonight I learned that Jaxon, my 2 year old can count. I told him to come and get his diaper changed and that I was going to Count to 3....So I started 1, 2 and then did the please come here pause and then before I could say it, he turned around and looked at me and said 3 with a "I'll come when I'm good and ready" tone to his voice.

When did my sweet little baby turn into this kid... ??

Almost forgot I had a blog....

For those of you that keep up on our family through this blog. I'm so sorry!
It has been a busy summer. I started a new job that I love and get to spend so much more time with my kiddos.
Maddie started 2nd grade and loves being back in school.
Spencer is 4 and loves coloring and playing Wii and army guys.
Jaxon is 2 and loves cars and trucks and wrestling with Maddie and Spencer.
I'm one lucky mom to have such great kids!!

We love fall time, we put up our fall decor today and can't wait for the Holidays ahead.

4th of July

The kids love the 4th of July, We went to the Murray Parade (best parade ever) and then swimming at Grandma's and Grandpa's and then fireworks at our house. I can't tell what holiday they love more. Christmas or the 4th of July.

Spring is the Air!

I love this time of year, you can almost see spring around the corner. Something great about starting new. Nothing like Green trees and Flowers to make you think that everything might just be ok.

Potty Training

Potty Training Spencer is not working out very well....UGH!!! Boys are so stubborn.

Nothing to report

To all you bloggers out there.. do you ever get blog-blocked. Nothing really going on to write about. Of course, that children are still really cute and say funny things that I should write down, but then I forget them. I did get a new camera, so I can start posting picts on here, as soon as I figured out how to do that.

Spencer is a BIG boy!

Spencer turned down a bottle today for the first time. My mother-in-law thought he said babba when he was saying that he wanted to play with Bubbles. She got him a bottle.. (let's just say it now, I'm the worst mother in the world and he is almost 4 and still isn't potty trained and drinks a bottle at bed time) Anyway, he turned it down and now that I think about the last 3-4 days he hasn't needed a bottle at night... Yeah!! Next step big boy potty and then college.

Dirty Dancing 2010

My kids were flipping through the channel Sunday evening when they ran across the last couple minutes of Dirty Dancing. Maddie dances, so I said that she should watch the end of it, because it had some cool dancing it. Within minutes all three of my kids were going crazy dancing and spinning around the room. Funniest part was when Maddie made Spencer try to the fly through the air move with her... guess who was the girl... not Maddie.

Saturdays

I love saturdays with my kids, We clean in the mornings and then lunch at chick-fi-la and then a relaxing evening, usually a movie and then bathtime for church the next morning. Sounds boring to some, but I love it!!

Maddie's Room

My seven year old is the messiest 7 year old in the world. I'm trying to teach her how to clean her room, but most times I just clean it because it is the only way it gets done. I was such a clean freak...what Happened? Jaxon and Spencer are even worse!!

Quiet Weekend

It was really a good weekend for me and kids. We didn't do much... cleaned the house, watched a few movies, went to church. Everyone was really good at church. I was really tired and during prayers today in church used it as nap time. Got a really good nap after church...I love naps.
On February 2ND our relief society is having a coupon class. I'm amazed at people that do this and really want to figure out how to buy $100 worth of groceries for 25 cents. I watched this today show segment about a lady that did just that. I hate spending so much for food and cleaners....drives me crazy. If anyone has any ideas how people do this or anything that they tried...let me know.

Blog Issues

I thought having music on this would be cool and really make my blog more interesting, but now I can't figure out how to take it off. I think it is just annoying now. Help anyone?

The reasons I get up every Morning....

My kids are the most amazing little people.

Madison is scary smart, great at everything she does, she gets the best grades and always gives it her all.

Spencer makes me laugh, he is such a sweet little man. Always concerned about being the "nice" guy and said tonight that chocolate makes him strong... I bet it does Spenc.

Jaxon is repeating everything that anyone says, so when the other two yell my name, he yells it too, when I look at him to see what he needs, he looks at me like.. "why is she looking at me?"
Right this minute, Jaxon is standing next to me at the desk saying " tick tock,tick tock"

I wish I could find my stupid camera ( see previous blog entry) so you could all see the little guys.

No Pics for Now

I swear everytime I think I have a little portion of control in my life something else, falls apart. Ok, this is a little dramatic, because really all I mean by this is that...it took me 5 months to figure out this blog thing and now I can't find my new camera with all my pictures that would look so great on this.

I have looked everywhere, it makes me feel so crazy when I lose things, totally consumes my thoughts until I find it.

Sunday's Best

I was super proud of myself today. After a week of having sick kids. I got everyone in the bath and ready for church today. The boys were so crazy and Jaxon actually took a bite out of the nursery leader. I know that other kids in other families are crazy and out of control, but it's hard to remember or see that when your head is spinning from your crazy life.

Speaking of life, mine has been less than perfect in 2009. I hoping that 2010 is much brighter than the previous year...I think it will be.
