The Temple

Clint,his brothers and his dad(not pictured)put up the steeple and the angel moroni on the temple today...isn't that awesome!?(funny how they all stand the same...)

My sweetie's...



This is what Lane was doing...go figure.

My hot self...after it's all done.

the steeple...




Clint said that the guys that got Moroni were wearin white gloves....



Right after he was all put up there

one crappy day...literally

So, the day was goin pretty good...I had fed Lane and was burpin him and he exploded out of his pants...so I went and gave him a quick bath so that he's take a nap so I could shower. I turned on cartoons for the kids and went about my showering. well I get out and go check on the kids to make sure they're still alive and Chloe is sitting there hands in the air with poop all over her. I tell her not to move, run and get dressed, while i'm getting dressed Lane starts SCREAMING...I hurry to get Chloe cleaned up enough to be alright, then I calm lane down. I make the kids lunch and while i'm cleaning up that I hear cole tell Chloe not to move and don't touch it, then he calls me...I go in there and she had diarhea and had gotten up on his plush spring horse and dripped diarhea all over the place...so I clean her up once again and i honestly was contemplating just tossin the horse, that's how bad it was. But then Cole said "Mom what are we going to do, that's my favorite horse..." So I start cleaning that up. It's finally nap time, I put the kids down, feed lane, and I fell asleep for about an hour and lane woke me up and I hear Cole in the bathroom and ask him what he's doin and he says he's poopin, no big deal. Then "Mom I pooped my pants!"...Seriously? I go in there and there is poop everywhere! I hate poop...

Love

This was when he was about a week...and the pix say it all, the kids love him. Sometimes Chloe wants some me time, or she'll sit by me when i'm feeding him but she has really done great. I don't have any time now, i'm constantly feeding, cleaning comforting...which is my job but boy...by about 8 i'm ready for bed and Clint's all serious? Yes...very serious!

two weeker....

Well tomorrow will officially be two weeks, and let me say I cannot get enough of this little man! I love the cuddling of newborns. None of my kids, since they could start movin, were cuddlers...they would fight, unless they were eating. So I take advantage while I can. I LOVE the fact that there is no talking back, no "NO" or anything of the sort. They just love to be held and loved and I LOVE that! I love how when you give them a bath they SMELL like newborns, and stay that way for a while. I mean seriously what is there not to love?

so.....

Monday I had a doc. appt. and he checked me and I was at a 5 and the baby was floating...which means if my water broke and the cord got in front of the baby, not good. So he told me to arrange things and go over to the hospital and get my water broke! I was seriously hoping he'd say that! Cuz I wasn't supposed to be induced till tomorow! anywho...he broke my water around 1:30, we walked around to get things goin better, started pushin at 6 and he was here at 6:20! It was amazing compared to the other two! Here's a few pix from the hospital....Oh ya the stats...he weighed 7lbs 14 oz and was 19 3/4 in long! good thing i had him 2 weeks early!

Preggo update

Just so you're not in the dark, which you may want to be...I had a doctor's appt on monday and he refuses to check me for fear of putting me into labor(I was a 3 5.5wks ago) Maybe that's why I want him to check geez! He is going to for sure induce me on the 28th...2.5 wks! I have been extremely sore and so far the baby has measured 2 wks big every time. I'm really crossing my fingers that maybe just maybe this will go sooner. I know I already get a week sooner, don't be greedy, but all you that have ever been preggo knows what's goin on!

The theft of Chocolate....

So, yesterday morning I went out to water the grass in the backyard and feed the dog. Well she usually comes right out of wherever she's at but sometimes she doesn't so I didn't think anything of it for the first little bit. But when I called her and she didn't come then I went looking in all the places she likes to hide...under the slide, in the tomato plants...nowhere. So I go around the whole perimeter of our yard like a hundred times to see if she got out somewhere, there was no holes and our gate was still shut tight. So I called Clint, my mom, and Jodi(she got us the puppy in the first place) to get some advice on what to do, which there wasn't really anything I could do. Someone had stole Chocolate.

Now we had some suspicions of the neighbor kids doing it because about a month ago they would climb up on the back fence about 30 minutes after me and Clint had turned out the lights and quietly whistle to the puppy. Then for about 4 nights straight they would throw fire crackers in our back yard. But when I wanted to do something about it Clint assured me they were just bored neighbor kids trying to get a rise out of us and if we did something about it then they knew it worked so they would try something else...ignorance is bliss right?

Back to Chocolate...so I went out to move the water and saw one of them in thier backyard and figured I could just ask them if they happened to see a little brown puppy but when I put the chair up the teenage kid was in his underwear letting his dog out to do it's business and I figured that if they had the puppy it would be out also, not that i sat there and looked real good cuz I didn't want the kid to see me looking in thier backyard with him in his underwear....

So I just left it be and I was going to print out flyers to put on the mailboxes around the neiborhood. 30 minutes later there was a knock at the door and low and behold it was one of the neibor kids...hmmm. He had "accidently" thown his football in our backyard and wanted me to get it so I went back and got it. Then me being the dork that I am(the neibors are black)said that we had lost our BLACK puppy(she's brown)then corrected myself and said well she's almost black she's dark brown....I'm such a dork, I was thinking that this kid was a really dark kid, I mean he was almost black( i'm not racist promise he was really nice) then he told me that they would keep an eye out for the puppy and left.

Then about 3 hours later...2ish there was another knock at our door and the kids had our puppy...hmmm convenient...and said that they had found her down the street...and she didn't have either of her collars, which there was no way she could have got them off because one of them was getting tight and I couldn't loosen the dang thing and was going to have Clint help me when he got a chance. then I told them that I'm surprised they found her because we thought someone had stole her... Then they sat there at my door for like 30 minutes while I talked and they didn't say a whole lot...they were wanting some kind of reward. Then they asked me if she was a lab(their dog is a male lab, convenient) and I told them no she was a german shorthair pointer...then I told them my suspicions of someone stealing her because there was no way she could have got out and that I was going to get her microchipped so that if someone did steal her again then we could find her. Anyways I finally just said that if there was anything i could do for them to let me know so that they would leave my house.

The reason this made me so mad is cuz this puppy is actually a pretty good puppy and not as abnoxious as the normal puppy...anyways...kids are bored and crazy, watch your dogs and for bored kids in the neighborhood.
