Kory had a business trip and we debated back and forth with doctors and each other whether it was a good idea or not. We knew there was a slight chance I could go into labor, since the trip was in my 37th week of pregnancy. But after a couple check ups and only progressing a little we felt confident that labor was farther away.<br />

So after going to the Anderson Halloween Party and killing it with our costumes that I spent all my free time on for the past few weeks, we said goodbye to Kory for 6 whole days!<br />

They were a tad bit weirded out by the all the Halloween hoopla, but warmed up eventually and had great fun for the little time we were there.<br />

Now, Kory has gone on A LOT of business trips since we've been married, but never before this one have I ever driven away in tears. It was hard to see him go. I was filled with so much anxiety and fear that I would be doing the labor thing alone, mixed with hormones, that I couldn't help but break down and cry. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next week was a blur, filled with "normal day things" for me and the kids, and LONG hours for Kory on his trip. We pretty much went the whole week without really talking longer than 15 minutes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At my last doctors apt, my Dr. confirmed that I had made little progress this week towards labor from last week and that if she had to guess I wouldn't be having this baby this week. (HA) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her telling me that put me at ease, and I had decided that we were going to make it. That this baby would in fact be born past his 38 week mark! (HA again!) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I should have figured though when I suddenly had the "urge" to stay up and spend all my energy making things for him into the wee hours of the night that I was in fact nesting, you don't go from being completely drained to wanting to stay up all night. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People joke that it isn't really a thing, but for me it is. For each of my pregnancies it has been different and at different points in the process. I just thought I was really motivated because the things I made for him, were just super cute. :) RED FLAG 1</div>

After 6 long days with out Kory, Halloween was here!<br />

Here are the kids posing it up, for our traditional Halloween Costume photo shoot before we visited Grandma at work and took Axel to preschool.<br />

After trick or treating down center street with Ashley and her boys, we headed to the airport to pick up Kory! I was so relieved to have him home, from the airport we went straight to trunk or treat at our church. I made jokes to neighbors and friends that "I could finally have this baby" and everyone shared in my relief that Kory had in fact made it home and didn't miss the delivery of our third baby.<br />
<br />
After trunk or treating we went to my sisters house to enjoy some "Hallo-weenies" and hot cocoa. My kids love going to her house for any reason whatsoever.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After that we came home. Now here is where I should have put two and two together, I was dead tired, and exhausted, emotionally drained, and ready to put my heals up, snuggle up to my husband, and watch a movie then go to bed. But instead of just coming home, and letting things be taken care of tomorrow, I started cleaning out the car, I organized all of our costumes and cleaned the items that needed to be cleaned. Kory (who was extremely sleep deprived at this point) looked at me like a crazy person. He knew I was tired. I knew I was tired. Yet I couldn't help myself. RED FLAG 2</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But despite the RED FLAGS I went to bed that night thinking I could get up in the morning and 1) go grocery shopping 2) clean my house 3) finish all my cute bibs, blankets and 4) plan singing time</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2:30am I woke up with contraction pain, this happens periodically, so I got up to use the bathroom as it also makes me want to pee. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tried to go back to sleep, 3:00 am another one, this time I wasn't sure if it was stronger or just felt a little stronger because I was still up from the last one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4:00 am another one, at 4:32 I decided I better start timing them (telling myself to calm the crap down and it probably was a false alarm) they started coming on stronger and shorter 4:42, 4:48, 4:54, 5:01, 5:08, 5:13, 5:20, 5:26, 5:31, 5:37. They started to get really painful and I decided to call my Dr for his input. I felt terrible about waking Kory, it was his first night all week where he could sleep in past 5 am. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After talking with the on call Dr, she advised me to come in and get checked. When I got off the phone with her I told Kory they wanted us to go in, we quickly made arrangements for our kids with a neighbor (bless her heart). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After dropping the kids off and all that, we arrived at the hospital at 7am. My contractions were VERY painful, at least I felt like they were.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't imagine how I would have felt if they sent me home to have to go about my day with those kind of contractions, lucky for me they decided to let me stay, even though I was only dilated to a 4 (like with Dani) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before my epidural my contractions were more regular, but once my epidural was in and working, they slowed a bit, so the Dr decided to put me on pit and break my water, I have no idea at what time this was.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But by about 10:15 it was time to push. This is where it got kind of crazy. So after my Dr broke my water, I guess she (this was actually the first time I met her, she is probably the only one at the office I have not met yet or seen in all three of my pregnancies) anyway, she was called into an emergency c-section over at the other hospital (and I gotta say I was kinda relieved) just because I never met her before, and the Dr she called in to deliver me instead, I have seen with all three of my pregnancies, he knows me and Kory both well. <br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, so he left the office and rushed over to deliver Zeke, he got scrubbed in, ready to catch, we pushed through a contraction, and in storms the other Dr. Guns a blazing, totally put out asking "Didn't the receptionist tell you I was on my way?" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So the other Doctor, said "uh no we didn't get that, but do you want to take over then?" I could sense that perhaps he was just saying that to be the bigger person. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her response "YEAH" so just like that they switched! A part of me was like, wait don't I have a say at all who gets to catch my baby?! So, just like that he switched with her, they had to move chairs and positions, and I was just like "WHAT THE CRAP?". <br />

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because of this little escapade, I can't tell you how many times or how many contractions I pushed through, I just know it was more than with the other two, and if I had to guess I would say 5 contractions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Somewhere in there, there was talk about him being posterior, but I guess he did a little flip-a-roo and delivered normally. Also, right after she broke my water, my epidural stopped working or dulled on my right side, and it HURT! Man I could never do without one, maybe it's my pitocin that makes my contractions so strong, but I think I would die. So they had to give me a fast acting dose, and it made me COMPLETELY numb which made it hard to feel if I was pushing and what muscles I was using. But I am glad because I didn't want to feel it either. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At 10:29 we gave it one last good push (the crowd was going wild with excitement, seriously it did feel like I had quite the audience, with two Dr's, three nurses, hilary, grandma, and Kory by my side) all shouting and encouraging me "HE HAS DARK HAIR" "AMY BREATH" "BEAR DOWN" (by the way, I have no idea what the crap it means to bear down) but eventually out he came! Beautifully pink, with dark black hair, and covered in cheese! <br />

It is always interesting to me how when you meet your baby for the first time, you instantly fall in love with them, how you have never before met them before, but when you see them for the first time it is as if you are reunited! It is an amazing feeling! Can't wait to do it again!<br />

Sporting his little hat I made, I had intentions of sewing more of these different styles and colors but this is the only one I got to, I still think it is too adorable when I see it on him! </div>

It has been two months since I sat down and wrote this about him and I finally finished it today! He is such a good baby, and each day we get to know him a little more, and are excited to have him in our family! </div>

To blog or not to blog, that is the question. The other day I was discussing with Kory how much I miss writing in my blog, how I wish I wasn't so behind on it and how it has been almost a year since I blogged!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
He told me to "Cut your losses, and just move forward"...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So that is what I am going to do, maybe once I get back in the habit I will throw in a few catch up blogs here or there, but I kind of think people hate reading those as much as I do. No one wants to know what we did LAST year.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
To sum it up...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Axel, Dani and I participated in a big pre-school co-op. It was FANTASTIC! Oh how I wish I would have blogged just so I can share with you everything we did in that group. It really helped that the other moms were super dedicated to help me a long the way. I think I learned more about myself than he did. Like I really like the idea of homeschooling my kids. I have so much say and influence on what they are learning and how they are learning it. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Big dog</div>
<div dir="ltr">
She got sick, really really sick, and that was a HARD winter for her, and all of us, and just as it was warming up we had to say good bye to one of our family pets. It was hard. Harder than I thought it would be on all of us. We miss her, and all of her quirks like crazy (yes, even I do, maybe not her hair so much)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Church Callings...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Kory got released from the Elders Quorum President and put back in as a deacons advisor...I was released as the sunbeam teacher and put in as our ward Primary Chorister. WHICH I LOVE! SO SO SO much, my love for music and the gospel has grown so much serving in this capacity, I mean I already love primary music, but I love studying the doctrine behind each song, and I will admit, I tear up sometimes (OK, a lot )</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Axel is a sunbeam, it was a hard transition for him at first, he really struggled, but is doing so much better now. It melts my heart to get to watch him learn and grow in the gospel, and to see him sitting there with his arms crossed reverently wanting to answer a question or two.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Potty Training</div>
<div dir="ltr">
They told me when I potty trained Axel that girls were WAY easier, and he was super duper easy, but I had no idea she would have been THAT easy! The girl started telling us at 15 months that she needed to go, so by 18 months she committed herself and just started using the potty. We didn't have to convince her, or buy her undies, or give her candy (that all came AFTER) She just did it. It was such a huge blessing!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bun in the Oven</div>
<div dir="ltr">
As some of you know from Kory's last post, we are expecting another baby! In fact we are almost done! I was extremely hesitant about getting pregnant again, in fact I made a list of things I wanted to get done before I went down the puking all day and night road again. After an amazing experience that is too personal to share on this blog, we decided it was time anyway, and all those things I was concerned about just got done. (See Potty Training above)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
This pregnancy has had it's hard parts, extreme nausea, fatigue, but really it has also been such a joy. I just know this little spirit is meant to come to our family, and EVERYONE is so excited to meet him. Dani pulls up my shirt each day and tells him (not me) that she loves him and wants to feed him and rock him. She will then give him a kiss and a hug. So adorable. I like to think that when he kicks back to her it is because he is telling her he loves her too, and NOT that she is in his space. (In my perfect fantasy world I like to pretend that when he is born he will be our median, the kid that just gets a long so great with the other two, that no one will fight any more ha ha )</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Axel, asks all sorts of questions about him, does the baby like milk? Can he have sugar? (side note he has recently started to realize that dad misses out on A LOT) He is really excited to have a baby brother, I know he will take a more active roll in his life than he did with Dani because he is older now.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Birthdays:</div>
<div dir="ltr">
We all turned a year older and that was exciting :)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Remodeling:</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Our blog wouldn't be the same with out a little Home Improvement section would it! After big dog, we decided to replace our bedroom floor, so now our entire house upstairs is carpet free.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
With that we ALSO had the opportunity to put a bathroom in our basement, so we quickly JUMPED on that opportunity because it was either now or never! We are so thankful for everyone who came and helped us make it happen! Now our studio clients don't have to come upstairs to use the bathroom.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
That's a simple update for now...</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are two times in my life where I felt instantly
different. The first being when I received the Melchizedek Priesthood and the
other when I became a father. Becoming a Dad made the movie ‘Taken’ seem like a
bare minimum. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Somewhere around 12 or 13 I developed insomnia. Over time it
grew worse and worse. I hoped that with the strict regimen of mission life it
would get better. Mostly I would still lie awake and still get up at 6:00 am.
After my mission it got worse because I now had people that would hang out with
me until 4am every night. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then I got married and I had to get a permanent job and all
that responsible stuff, blah blah blah. The day Axel was born was the first
time I could just lay down and go to sleep. Ever since then I have had no
problems falling asleep at night. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The romantic part of me likes to think that my
body/mind/spirit or whatever, was just anxiously awaiting his arrival here on
earth. Maybe it’s the tiredness that comes with being a dad, but honestly, Amy
was up with him most nights. I only stepped in if feeding him didn’t work. Not
to say I didn’t put in my time walking around the house or yard with him in the
middle of the night every so often. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The other day, I thought to myself, this kid is my calm. We
can just hang out without anything really on the agenda. Life is calmer when
he’s around. Maybe it’s because I don’t worry about the future or the past
because spending time with my family is the thing I’d rather be doing than
anything else in the world. Maybe it’s because I don’t have to worry about his
future because he is so genuine and smart and creative that the whole world
seems possible to him. Whatever it is, I’m never more in the moment than when I
spend time with my family. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not saying we just sit and stare at the wall doing
nothing all the time, but we could. And we’d be fine with that. But he has such
an amazing imagination that it’s always exciting. He can create whatever he
wants out of what’s around him. If he really wants to wear purple pants, he
just imagines that his black pants are purple and he’s good to go. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I envy his creativity. Not only does he have a ridiculous
ability to create things as accurately as you can with the things he has, but
he also can imagine up the rest and describe it with such detail you can see it
yourself. It takes me back to being a kid and reminds me how much we lose to
‘growing up’. While I chose to grow up to facilitate a stable environment for
him to be a kid in, I appreciate him inviting me into his world regularly, no
matter how tired I am. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I see the world differently now. I can see God’s plan for us
more clearly as I can see His perspective now that I have the responsibility of
trying to raise a kid and let him grow while guiding him towards being a good
contributing human. I see more adventure in mundane tasks and even more
excitement for kid stuff than I did when I was a kid. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being a dad is the coolest thing I’ve ever done. Part of why
I wanted to have kids was not only because I naturally gravitate towards children
and love being around them, but because there didn’t seem to be enough good
people out there. I thought I could have a kid and teach him to respect other
people and how to lift other people around him. I find there’s a lot more to it
than that, but I put all of my best self into my family, and hopefully that’s
enough. He is a good kid. He is indiscriminate with who he plays with, and
generally is kind, loving, and inviting to everyone. He’s ultra sensitive, but
that I think will allow him to be a better friend down the road. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When he was born I was expecting it to be like an old
friendship finally reunited and I would feel like we’ve known each other for
forever. When he came flopping out into this world like an alien head with a
body just dangling from it, one of my first thoughts was ‘I have no idea who
this kid is’. He was his own little person. He wasn’t a blank slate, but a
person who already had his own personality, preferences, and thoughts. The next
thought after that was how excited I was to get to know him. There was no
little person I was going to build from scratch. I was going to get to find out
what he loves and thinks as he learned to express himself and as I learned how
to understand those expressions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my calm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you kid. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When Dani was born she looked exactly like her brother. I
expected she’d be a little clone of him and that made it seem like raising her
would be easier because we’ve done this before. I couldn’t have been more
wrong. Dani was the exact opposite of what we were expecting. She and Axel are
complete opposites. Even down to their appearance. He has blonde hair and dark
brown eyes and chubby cheeks. Dani has dark hair and some of the brightest most
beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen, and she’s the tiniest person I know. She never
stops moving. She doesn’t like to be touched. She doesn’t like help. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While she’s one of the most thoughtful little people I know,
making sure everyone gets their fair share and including everyone in what she
does, she’s got the energy of the sun wrapped in that little body. This puts me
out of my comfort zone. She doesn’t let me sit on the couch when there is music
on. It’s mandatory to dance. When there isn’t music on she generally asks me to
turn some on for her. I realized just how much out of my comfort zone she puts
me when some guy came around the corner at home depot in the kitchen section to
Dani and I dancing. I was super embarrassed at first. Then I realized I would
be embarrassed a million times over to see this little girl’s smile. Everything
is exciting and full of life with her. I can’t slow down with her because I’m a
sucker for her little voice asking me to join her in whatever she does.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She tires me out just watching her, but just watching is
generally not an option with her. I love that she motivates me to be a little
more crazy as I’ve grown passive in my old age. We butt heads often as there are 4 bossy
people in our house. She has to have things her way and will do it by herself
no matter what you say. I constantly find her stuck in places because she
wanted something and didn’t want to ask because she knew what the answer would
be. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dani keeps things moving at our house and keeps me more
active than I want to be. She is just as compassionate as she is active and she
can be the sweetest girl you’ve ever seen. When Big Dog was in her last few
weeks, Dani would hand feed her dinner and breakfast on the days that she
didn’t have the strength to stand there and eat. She would change her whole
demeanor and sit with Big Dog when she knew she was struggling. She does this
for everyone. She asks if you’re ok if you look sad or hurt. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not looking forward to the day when I’m not one of her
favorite people, because she’ll always be one of mine. Or the day when she
doesn’t think I’ll understand what she’s going through because I’m her dad, and
dad’s don’t get that kind of stuff. For now, she’s the last person I see as she
waves to me on my way to work, and the first person to greet me when I get home
from work. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This new kid is not easy on Amy’s body. She has to work
really hard to keep both of them healthy. Waiting for a baby is an awesome
time. You get to wonder about what he’ll be like. You wonder how he’ll fit into
your family and how your kids are going to react to them. Will he be a
musician, will he be smart? What will his challenges be? Some of these answers
come quickly, and some of them I’ll have to wait a long time for. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With this new kid on the way, I feel hope. We felt strongly
about having another baby. We both knew it was time and had distinct
impressions about it. I don’t worry about how much it’s going to cost or about
having another mouth to feed because our family follows Heavenly Father very
closely, and if He gave his blessing and told us this was right for our family,
He’s not going to set us up to fail. We do our best to do what’s right and the
rest is out of our control anyway. Not that bad things don’t happen to good
people, but whatever happens, I have faith that that is where we are supposed
to be. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel hope because I get to invite someone into our lives
that’s guaranteed to be someone I love with my whole self. It’s kind of cool
that way. You never know who you’re going to meet in your life, what friends
you’ll make, and how they’ll affect your life. But this instance, No matter
what, I will love this kid very literally unconditionally in a way that’s
inexplicable to people that don’t have kids. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel hope because there is one more person in the world I
will do my very best to help teach to love those around him regardless of their
demographics. To be someone who could teach others that they are loved by someone
and to find hope in their lives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have big hopes for my kids. One’s that I probably won’t
hear about or see very often, if ever. I hope there will be instances in my
life where I will see what kind of person they are and know that they have
these qualities. I have seen it already in Dani and Axel, and hope they
continue to develop this part of them, and the new kid will also find these
parts of himself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am excited to have you in our lives.<o:p></o:p></div>

it goes.<br />
<br />
My affinity for Amy started when I ‘re-met’ her at Training
Table. We were talking and I said something with my usual amazing sense of
humor and she looked at me with these eyes that emanated this excitement for
life that caught me off guard. So much so, that I think about that moment
often.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That lead to this that the other and bam! We’re parents.
Growing up I assumed being the parent of small kids was just playing all day
and teaching them to say funny things. It turns out that that is only a smaller
part of the deal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amy sacrifices a lot for our family. I thought that this was
a good place to post this since every other post on here shows just how much
she does for our kids. While I partially joke about how easy she made it seem
to have a baby, she was made for having/raising kids. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Dani gives me an inventory of everything that happens every
day when I get home. I’m always amazed at how much they do and learn. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She teaches pre-school every couple weeks, teaches singing
time in church, and all the kids seem to gravitate towards her, and love
everything she does. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lest you think I’m missing the point of Motherhood, I know
it’s not about how much you can do in a day, or how crafty you are. I point out
these things because it’s time she spends with our kids doing things that will
help them learn to be better people. She puts most, if not all of her time into
things that are for the family rather than herself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can spend all day on the things she does, but I’m most
proud of who she is. She is selfless and loving. She’s a natural teacher and
the best mother I could hope for for our kids. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most people know I would be lost without her, not only
because the kids and I would probably starve if she were gone, and most of the
important things wouldn’t get done, but because she is my sure-foot in life.
She inspires me and supports me, she is always there and willing to help, when
I’m willing to put my stubbornness aside. She’s smart and creative in ways I
don’t understand. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3457764194636748713" name="_GoBack"></a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

It is so full of such beauty!<br />
<br />
My friend Ashley and I, have been visiting the canyon for years now, in our single days we would rollerblade down the long trail on the warm fall nights, or go up and study in the parks. That's right I said ROLLERBLADE. :)<br />
<br />
Now we have babies and we still love going up there each fall to enjoy all the colors of the trees, and to appreciate nature one last time before it takes a long winters nap. We love teaching our little ones about the changing leaves. There really is NO better place to witness this but the Provo Canyon.<br />

I will admit, it was a LONG walk for me. My ankle was still sore from my sprang from our trip, and it was hotter than we anticipated that day, so we were all dressed warmly...Bad planning on my part.<br />

My kids fought the whole way up. We had to take A LOT of breaks to look at leaves, and to let the boys walk. So that added to our time exponentially! And it took us a LONG time to get to the falls. </div>

<br />
Kory and I both LOVE Halloween, so he was fully supportive in this pursuit.<br />
<br />
So for each day of October we did something Halloweeny... teehee<br />
<br />
My kids LOVED it, so much so that they still play Halloween on a regular if not daily basis. Poor Thanksgiving, didn't stand a chance.<br />
<br />
The first thing I did was make an advent Calendar for each day, to count down to Halloween. Each day They would pull out the sign and it had either a treat or an activity to do on it.<br />
<br />
To make the advent cal, I cut a bunch of pockets with my Cricut, glued eyeballs, and wrote numbers on them<br />
<br />
<br />

We made a Giant Skeleton out of paper plates, and of course we dressed as them too... For history's sake, I bought those Skeleton Jammies for Axel when he was a year, and we pulled them out to put on Dani, but he insisted on wearing them. He has now worn them so much that they are so stretched out that they actually fit him. I am still confused with how that has happened, but maybe we don't need to buy our kids new clothes after all??</div>

We set up a tent in the kids bedroom and read spooky stories, all day, then all night, then all day the next day and the next. They couldn't get enough of our spooky camp out. So glad we held on to this tiny tent even though it is too small for our whole family. Axel even slept in it at night too. </div>

This was my FAVORITE of all, I tried to save games for Sunday and Monday nights for family time. Well this one we went on a "Ghost hunt" We turned off all the lights gave the kids a flashlight, and Kory went and hid somewhere with a sheet over his head. The kids had no idea he was hiding, or what to expect, but they totally were into our "Ghost hunt" Well, when we opened the door to where Kory was hiding and he was standing there with the sheet, MAN I wish I had my camera on Axel's face. He was SO SCARED and surprised, and like hopped backwards, it was great. I laughed so hard, because I 'm a mean mom, but then we took turns being the ghost and hiding throughout the house. BEST ACTIVITY EVER. <br />

Like most of his Birthdays we spent the day at the Hogle Zoo. Every time we go to the Zoo there is always something that stands out to me different from the last time. Kory probably could spend countless hours there. We finally broke down and bought a pass, which we are so excited about! I don't know why but Blogger isn't letting me add any text to this besides right here. So here are all our pictures! Enjoy! My favorite part was the bird show, we have never actually been, we always skip it, but it was SO fun! We had really great seats too, so the birds flew right over our heads!

Not really thinking they would end up starting all at the same time...I learned my lesson, not that they were bad or anything, we were just BUSY, and busy even for me :)<br />

<b>Co-op Preschool</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember Joy school? I do, I loved participating in Joy School as a kid. We decided to participate in our neighborhood Co-op Preschool. It is kinda like Joy School in the fact that you trade off teaching. But the mom's decided the curriculum. We had 8 kids participate this fall, so we separated it into two groups. 4 boys and 4 girls. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At first I was really hesitant, not sure if I could handle teaching every 4 weeks. But once we got into it, Axel really seemed to enjoy it, and I really love being involved in his learning process. He is picking up his letters, and doing things I wouldn't think about doing with him otherwise. It was a wise choice.<br />

Dani wanted to go to preschool too, and still cries when we drop him off each week and wants to be included. Poor girl has to wait two more falls! Although she is potty trained (more on that later...)<br />

<b>Dance </b><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">We also enrolled him in one of our neighbors dance class, because I wanted him to be more comfortable performing in front of others. His teacher was amazing! His class had all boys and one girl in it so she geared it to them, they jumped like frogs through hoops, and were knights and so much more. (He really liked pretending to be a knight) </span><br />

I was so excited to sign him up for Soccer this year, but had I realized it was going to be in the same month as preschool and dance, I probably would have decided against it. </div>

Playing around the field, in his terribly long yellow shirt. You would think that if you were going to make a bunch of shirts for toddlers you would at least get smaller shirts.<br />

Then they had the kids run around the field, wearing these huge shirts they gave them, and about halfway through the run, he threw his arms down, turned around and came back to us and said he was done.<br />

We tried to encourage him to keep trying, but he didn't want to. Each week when we asked if he wanted to go back, he would say "No, I don't like soccer." I was bummed. He has always been into sports, and loved playing soccer, and baseball especially. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Eventually the last week we convinced him to try it one more time. To which I am glad I did, because he had a lot more fun this time. <br />
<br />
Having a bit more fun, maybe it was the time of day, he didn't lap the field this time with his team, and I think that made the difference. He is just not a runner.<br />

I am glad we ended on a positive note. I remember feeling that way, if something doesn't work for me the first time I give up. After having Axel I realized that with kids you have to keep trying, and that you wont always get it right the first, second, third and 100th time, but you keep trying.<br />
<br />
Teaching him that lesson is a hard one, he is a perfectionist like both Kory and I, so we are constantly telling him to keep trying when he thinks things are too hard for him. </div>

Before this trip, I would have argued otherwise. In fact, we had no intention of taking our kids there this trip. The weekend before our trip we had gone to Lagoon for Kory's work party. Lagoon was fun, don't get me wrong. But there weren't a whole lot of rides that we all could do together. Kory and I spent the time watching our kids go on them all, which was fun, but we didn't need to do it again. That is what I thought Disney Land would be like. Us standing around, and watching our kids for hours. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, we had decided that it would be best to save our money and wait for a time our kids could really enjoy it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, lucky for us, Kory has some really awesome relatives who convinced us to go to DisneyLand anyway, their treat! NICE RIGHT? I mean how could we say no?? Still thank you, thank you, thank you, Jolyn and Kim!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I mean how could we pass it up?! So we switched gears and plans and decided that our last day in California would be spent at DisneyLand.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But before we went there, we decided we would make a quick stop at the Longbeach pier to check out all the ships, and lighthouse...</div>

That was until Kory spotted a crab, so we all went to see it, well on the way back Dani didn't want to leave it, she was throwing a huge fit, and I was trying to keep myself balanced while climbing over those rocks, I slipped and twisted my ankle, and fell with her in my arms. We are so lucky neither one of us hit our head, we came so close! </div>

The first thing we did was the Light Saber Training. It was here that yet another sad thing happened. Suddenly, Axel got really lethargic and sick. I thought it was maybe he was just dehydrated, poor kid tried so hard to stand up so he could be picked, but he just didn't have the strength. So he never got picked to do the Light Saber Training. I think we will have to go back now that he loves Star Wars so so much. I bet he would LOVE it.<br />

I feel so blessed to have gotten to go on this trip and spend it with the people I love the most. I know a lot of people sacrificed to make it happen, and I am so grateful that Kory was able to use his travel points to make it happen! It was a great way to end our Summer! </div>

<br />
But when we drove through downtown Hollywood, we realized something, Hollywood is A LOT different when you have kids in toe. Suddenly you notice all the billboards of scantily clad ladies, and protection devices ;) So we just drove there and quickly decided we probably should do something else.<br />
<br />
We did however make a quick stop to one of our favorite places to eat in the area.<br />
<br />
PINKS!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinvOJFDDyVAizc0FT2CwA8JeHC03Ntf85WjYFUiykYPUjcUEbQ88GEx5RpxHi9n7n-GSWPjB-w78EYkRGvy6v5RgKH5BzwYJLkNpk0GQAGCek6Q_ah_sG9O0YDB880XaIs3K5XsEEBK9B_/s1600/IMAG0919.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinvOJFDDyVAizc0FT2CwA8JeHC03Ntf85WjYFUiykYPUjcUEbQ88GEx5RpxHi9n7n-GSWPjB-w78EYkRGvy6v5RgKH5BzwYJLkNpk0GQAGCek6Q_ah_sG9O0YDB880XaIs3K5XsEEBK9B_/s640/IMAG0919.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
And as luck would have it, they happened to be filming what looked like to us some morning review show at the restaurant.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLZRsp7426j1792e0TjEPj2M7X7u5N70pDMe3GsJSbahpeYHE9LLLbuOX7AWvNZUqfUCnMMn791uI-eEDYJyh2h6xyjuZw_8gaUJrI-ynojT3cGrBFXX0OH14NPkEbqPy-RT55bRMJYFSu/s1600/IMAG0915.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLZRsp7426j1792e0TjEPj2M7X7u5N70pDMe3GsJSbahpeYHE9LLLbuOX7AWvNZUqfUCnMMn791uI-eEDYJyh2h6xyjuZw_8gaUJrI-ynojT3cGrBFXX0OH14NPkEbqPy-RT55bRMJYFSu/s640/IMAG0915.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
Also, that of course was the morning Axel refused to wear normal clothes. He decided he wanted to wear an inside out Iron Man shirt that I had taken in to fit him. (It was a hand me down from his cousin and he couldn't wait two years to wear, so I took the sides in thinking it would be more of a dress up) He also wore his pants inside out. There was no reasoning him out of it.<br />
<br />

<br />
I am still curious if he ended up on the show in that ridiculous outfit. But Kory reassured me that most people would just assume he was homeless, since that is common place around those parts.<br />
<br />
After pinks we headed to the beach!<br />
<br />

<br />
SEA WORLD!<br />
<br />
We met up with another one of Kory's brothers and a part of his family, Kevin, Jolyn and Kim. They took us around Sea World.<br />
<br />
Kim was such a great tour guide, she really knew her way around, and it was so good to catch up with Jolyn and Kevin as well.<br />
<br />
I am so sad, half of my pictures got deleted from my camera from this day. :( Including the part where we got to see the dolphins up close and pet them. :(<br />

Aunt Jolyn had us feed the rays! It was so cool and so gross at the same time. Dani walked up to this and did this all on her own, before anyone asked or showed her. I am thinking maybe she saw some other kids do it and wanted to too. Such a funny girl.<br />

The orca show was so neat! It made me want to go back to school and be a marine biologist! Can you imagine how fun that would be? Minus the maybe one of them attacking you, but seriously these animals are huge, and the tricks were fantastic! It was cool to see them up close too! Both my kids LOVED it! </div>

I get why people go on them now, we got much better sleep, and our kids are closer than they ever had been before, They ACTUALLY play together now. It was just what the doctor ordered.<br />
<br />
DAY one<br />
We opted to fly there instead of driving. This was my first time flying with either of my children and they did SO great. Kory is pro at the flying thing, so he had it down to a system, and I just had to follow his lead, he got us fantastic seats, and Axel got to look out the window the entire way. Dani was well, Dani, she flipped through books in seconds, went from lap to lap, but surprisingly enough she was pretty good. She wasn't "That baby" on the plane that I feared and fretted she would be.<br />

I don't know why I always take pictures of the Hotel rooms, but I find them nostalgic. Maybe because they are your home away from home, even though they are brief, memories are formed there. </div>

That night we met up with one of Kory's brothers John and his wife Alison. They treated us to BOB's BIG BOY BURGERS. This was a nice treat because it was Kory's Grandpa's favorite restaurant back in the day. And we can totally see why, it was so delicious! After a day of traveling a hamburger never tasted so good! </div>

So I will just have to do bits here and there. Hopefully now that it is fall, and things have slowed down here I can get caught up! Fingers crossed !<br />

Axel REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted a Super Hero Birthday party this year. So what Axel wants, Axel gets (It's hard being the first child :) ) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To say Axel had a SUPER 3rd Birthday party would be an understatement, it was quite EPIC, and in my opinion, this was my most favorite of his parties. I think that was mostly because it was 1. Not at my house and 2. I had A LOT of help with planning, preparing and setting up from Kory and my go to party girl Sheri. Kory was the brains behind it all, and Sheri helped me execute it perfectly. </div>

Thanks to all the moms who stepped in and helped out! </div>

But this was my FAVORITE of them all. It was my friend Sheri's inspiration, but it was SO fun to make, we just scanned in comic pages glued them together and posted them on jute, and it was DARLING!

Here are the cupcakes I made, the liners didn't work out, but I think the frosting and sprinkles in various superhero themes...Captain America, Green Lantern, Iron man... were perfect for this crowd. The best part of that, was I found BIG tubs of sprinkles at Maceys in their Bakery clearance of all the colors I had been wanting to do! I love it when things work out!<br />

Axel turned three yesterday, I can't believe it, I can't believe how fast this year went by. I say that each year, but really this time I mean it. :) The terrible twos are OVER, and they weren't all that terrible :) We survived it, and even had A LOT of fun too.<br />
<br />
Axel has grown so much this year, and has gone from being a toddler to a little boy. It is almost strange how much change and growth happens in a year!<br />
<br />
Here are some things about Axel for the record...<br />
<br />
ROBOTS<br />
At the start of this past year, his whole world was robots. He talked, played, and watched robots all day long. He knew the entire episode of Iron Giant word for word, Wall-e, and ROBOTS. Not to mention he watched countless transformer shows. He read robot books at night, was a robot for Halloween this year, and wore it at some point every day for the rest of the year.<br />
<br />
Then he learned about SUPERHEROES and that became his whole world.<br />
<br />
This year he has learned about and can define over 70 superheroes. I mean most boys his age like batman, spiderman, and superman. But if you show him a picture of a superhero he most likely will know it's name, and what his super powers are.<br />
<br />
This has been really fun for our family this year. Kory loves comics as well, so they have really engulfed themselves into this. My knowledge of superheroes has expanded as well. I thought I knew my stuff, but BOY was I mistaken. I still have to ask Axel sometimes who certain guys are.<br />
<br />
We were in the party store the other day, and they had the life size Avengers, and we were talking about them, and I said "There is Hawkeye" (Pointing at Nick Furry) and he looks at me confused, paused and then corrected me "That's not Hawkeye mom, that is NICK FURRY". :) After that I lost all credibility with him. When I tried to convince him that the Scarlet Johanson was in fact the Black Widow, he gave me a pretty untrusting look.<br />
<br />
He has learned a lot about SHARING this year. Like most two year olds this has been a hard one for him. But he finally is getting that sharing is fun. He lets Dani use and play with his toys, and dress up clothes, and I am really proud of him. <br />
<br />
I tried to remember something funny or cute he did each day and for a while there I was really good at writing them all down... but he really is super FUNNY, and I get such a kick out of the funny things he says and does each day.<br />
<br />
I love listening in on him and his FRIENDS playing together. He LOVES playing with his friends. This has been harder for me, he is already wanting to be with his friends all day long. Sun up and sun down he wants to play with his friends. Luckily we have a GREAT group of kids around here, and a lot of really fun cousins. He is a lucky lucky kid to have so many options for play groups.<br />
<br />
He is such a good BROTHER to Dani. Sometimes they fight. I think that goes with having a sibling but he is so kind and patient with his sister, who sometimes is not so kind or patient with him. We're working on it.<br />
<br />
We celebrated his birthday a day early, and for the past couple of days as he plays with all his new toys, he has been so kind and HAPPY. He is just on cloud nine!<br />
<br />
He is a SWIM champ! He completed his first real year of swimming lessons. He can float on his back by himself, submerge his face, glide while kicking, use a kickboard like a pro, and is pretty confident in the water. One day after watching me dive in while swimming with friends he taught himself how to dive in. :) Post the video later :)<br />
<br />
We have a lot of things to look forward too this year for him, and this coming month for him. He is starting pre-school, and soccer, and singing/dancing. Wowza! that is a lot of things at once!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I could probably go on an on about how wonderful, and great I think Axel is. He is pretty great. We are so glad to have him in our lives, and to have him for a son! Happy Birthday Buddy! You are the BEST!<br />
<br />

And last but not least... Swimming Lessons have begun and have been CRAZY busy this year. But Axel has been doing SO well in them, even with his momma as his teacher (which I was really worried about) But he already has been floating on his back with out his floaties, and will hold his breath and put his face in the water!

He has MAD jumping skills, and will jump in the water from the edge
over and over without any help, and he doesn't panic when he goes
under. He loves it infact! He LOVES doing "Superman" (of course) and
for the most part is only somewhat disruptive in my class. Sometimes he

<br />
But we were super excited to get an early start on our yard this year, and it is a good thing too, because it has taken us a lot longer than expected, but we can't wait to have it all done, and to have a nice backyard for our kiddos/dogs to run around in! We will have it done just in time for winter :) <br />

<b>Cutting down the trees</b><br />
<br />
The first Saturday in April we had a Tree Cutting party, and we got A TON of help and a TON done. We are so grateful for everyone who came and put in some time that day to help us out, it was a huge help! We cut down a BUNCH of the overgrown Chinese Elms, a chain link fence, and an entire row of lilac bushes!<br />

It was a very productive day! Big thanks to Ash and Nick, Lisa, Nate and kiddos, Grandpa Anderson, and Kyle for giving up a big chunk of your day to make this happen.<br />
<br />
<b>Chopping up the trees.</b><br />
<br />
It rained for a few weeks so we were finally able to get to chopping up the trees. Kory's dad brought over his wood chipper and we literely did that all day long one Saturday and then for the next two weeks. It was a big job, but easier than trying to haul those trees off to the dump a million times. <br />

It has been a much bigger job than expected, and every Saturday we go to bed sunburned, and sore, and the progress is slow. Our yard is SO overgrown, and in pretty bad shape, but we are seeing the fruits of our labor, slowly, but we are making progress.<br />

We got it all into nice organized piles, some to landscape, some to burn in our future fire pit, and some to take to the compost yard.<br />
<br />
We then raked and tilled the crap out of the soil. Our back part of the yard is a GIANT weed pit. I even tried to rake all the weeds up early, and they still came back!!! GRRR so we tried again...and then finally I decided to borrow my sisters weed wacker and hack the crap out of it, and it was SO much easier than my previous attempts, and it helped me not get so overwhelmed by it all. Thanks to all who came and helped clean up! <br />
<br />
<b>Landscape schmandscape</b><br />
<br />
Moving the wood chips was SO hard, I made a goal of 5 wheel barrels a day, because I was getting quite overwhelmed every time I went out there. We have a row of Lilac bushes along the fence, so we trimmed those up and put wood chips under it so that we wont have to try and mow under them.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8kZsU6W-gyksBCVokhA-8Rv1XYDLvrNMk22CrEqw-tNT20sn8UzzLQde7XPPUeO_Nh6yz-B6Qq960qoYZVQ0OSYgvopqL3CJ9EwEShbEnjBRFK1-jM17a4Y68Td2TCtT2PSDkyeC97R-/s1600/IMG_20120503_115844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><br />
While trimming them up we were so surprised to find not 1, but 7 semi mature plum trees growing alongside them! We sadly have to cut most of them down because they are all over crowded, but I am excited for the future years to get to pick plums with my kids, along with the Red Haven Peach Tree & a Bartlett Pear Tree I started to grow this spring! <br />
<br />
One day while I weed whacking, my eyes started to burn and I started to smell onion really strongly! Then I looked down and sure enough there was a whole patch of green onions just growing randomly!<br />
<br />
I also cleaned up this flower bed, and came to the realization that these "weeds" that don't ever die, are actually in fact Lillies! (We always mow them down before they get a chance to show there buds) Aren't they so pretty! So glad our lawnmower was broken for so long (Didn't think I would EVER say that)<br />

<b>Planted...</b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have come to terms with the fact that I wont be having a vegetable garden this year. We just didn't get the back yard cleared/ cleaned up soon enough. I was pretty bummed about it at first, as I wanted to do one last year, but was hugely pregnant, so this was going to be my year to do it again, and do it differently than my first year. Instead I decided I would focus on my flowers. I really do love gardening. I love planting flowers, trimming them and making them beautiful. I think they add so much! I planted a whole bunch of petunia's in our front flower bed.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RkmBxocr8ykQ69Dsm9ck54cN5QE99trdbRfzJJz9-FcL5-fQaDucANhKasWRacSWP1lroty2mDVfVz20xr7oy4Rb8VEUmqww6mcRsUMEU26PWR_-NeZJ_JtcD09sZKCeZLyD8u0ZA3pL/s1600/IMG_20120517_155143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RkmBxocr8ykQ69Dsm9ck54cN5QE99trdbRfzJJz9-FcL5-fQaDucANhKasWRacSWP1lroty2mDVfVz20xr7oy4Rb8VEUmqww6mcRsUMEU26PWR_-NeZJ_JtcD09sZKCeZLyD8u0ZA3pL/s320/IMG_20120517_155143.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And then found a bunch of these AWESOME pots at the dollar store and planted some more and we hung them on our fence, and I LOVE THEM! I seriously love going out into our yard and seeing them first thing! What do ya think?<br />

<b>One mans trash is another mans treasure. </b><br />
Sometimes this rings true. Kory's sister Shauna gave us this GREAT table and chairs for our yard. We have LOVED having them to eat outside on, and they are in FANTASTIC condition. It has probably made this whole thing 10 times more bearable for me. Because it gives us somewhere to be. <br />

Along with that, that very same week my sister gave us a great BBQ and it has been FANTASTIC. My kids LOVE eating outside! And I love the flavor the charcoal smoke adds to my food! So much better! <br />
<br />
We also got a three times hand me down swingset from Kory's sister Kelli. Kyle didn't want to try to move it with them. I don't blame them either. When we took it down at their house, I am not going to lie, I was seriously doubtful it would EVER go back together. There were more broken bolts than not, and it was pretty sketchy. It was a lot of work taking it down. Dani was irrate the entire time we were there, and it was SO HOT even though it was earlier in the day. It took us a LONG time. But we did it!<br />
<br />
When we first were taking it apart, Kory and I were taking pieces off one by one, and we look over and notice Axel already had a bunch of those pieces loaded in the trailer for us! He is such a good helper! <br />
<br />
When we got home with it, it went a lot more smoothly, and Kory did an awesome job at putting it together! And dani slept like a champ so we didn't have to worry about her crying or running in the street, or pulling Axel's hair...<br />

Now we have a great swing-set, and my kids LOVE it. <br />

<b>However, sometimes one mans trash is STILL another mans trash.</b><br />
<br />
So upon removing one of the piles of what we thought was yard waste in our back yard, we stumbeled upon a HUGE garbage pile. It was DISGUSTING. We found bags of kitty litter, lunch boxes, soda cans, diapers car engines!...it was NASTY. No wonder we have so many stray cats!!! SHEESH! All these years we thought it was just a yard waste pile that he left.<br />

Speaking of cats as we were moving said pile into the trailer and garbage can, we stumbled upon a little femir bone, then another, then a tiny hip bone, then a set of tiny ribs, some spine, and finally the skull of a cat! I will be honest though, I was quite relieved that it was a cat and not something else! After everything we have found in our yard who knows what else is burried there! Most likely one of the many stray cats died while trying to get to that pile of kitty litter. Don't worry though our neighbor took the skull! SICK<br />

We were able to haul the big things off to the dump this Saturday, and now are just dealing with small pieces that we will just put in bags then into our dumpster. <br />
<br />
I know it doesn't look like much, but just looking back at the before picture I am reminded how much we have done. I will save the after picture for when we are farther along, but it is quite the difference! It is crazy how open it all feels now! We still have ample shade and plenty of room for our kiddos to run and explore!<br />
<br />
Soon enough we will be ready for that fence! Can't wait!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457764194636748713.post-2231963967520265762012-06-03T22:18:00.001-07:002012-06-03T22:18:11.871-07:00Our Little Lady BugWe celebrated Dani's birthday early upon my parents request so they could be there because my dad was scheduled to have back surgery a couple days before her actual birthday.<br />
<br />
So, when I found this out I quickly scrambled and threw this together...<br />
<br />
Here are the invites I designed, and the photo was courtesy via Jessica Peterson, and in my opinion it is what makes the invite, wouldn't you say?<br />

I had chosen the lady bug theme because I wanted to do a summer theme since she is our start of summer baby. So it was either that or strawberries. I am glad I picked Lady Bug, I think it turned out cute, even though they are a tad bit overdone.<br />
<br />
I didn't want her party to be a Character Lady Bug party. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but when I was looking through Pinterest for ideas, I was kinda grossed out by it all. Am I the only one who gets that way?<br />
<br />
So I just ignored it all, and did my own thing.<br />
<br />
I hired my friend Suzy to make her cake, cause I didn't even want to try to attempt a cake, I learned that mistake with Axel. She did SUCH a great job, the cake was exactly how I explained it to her, and it was DELICIOUS!<br />

The birthday girl was certainly the BEST cake eater I had ever seen. Really, she went right to business and knew exactly what she was doing.<br />
<br />
My favorite picture in the end, her full on beard, perfect for mustache may, wouldn't you say?!<br />
<br />
We had such a great turnout, I am still so amazed with how many people came to support her! I wish I would have been better about taking pictures but I was terrible, the pictures I have are mostly before, of the girl and after. I am so grateful for all the people who came and endured our shameless party in her honor.<br />
<br />
I was kinda a nervous wreck this time. In hindsight, I probably should have postponed it a few days, like I kept feeling like I needed to. Dani had a lousy weekend full of doctors appointments and then round the clock breathing treatments. So she was kinda in rough spirits. (For those who came, don't worry it wasn't viral, but some sort of on going asthmatic reaction, that was causing wheezing since JANUARY and yes we took her to the doctor countless times only to be told it was a cold... finally they believed us and did something about it and admitted something else was the matter.) <br />
<br />
So I was kind of a mess come Monday, and I really wanted her party to be simple. I wasn't so stressed about the prep work (that is what I love) but the actual party it self was a tad stressful for me. I am so VERY VERY GRATEFUL for my friend Sheri, she came to my rescue and helped me set everything up and made everything come together. Seriously Sheri, I OWE YOU! It was her experience and vision that made it all work together!<br />
<br />
The Decor <br />
We planted a couple pots of flowers for center pieces on the buffet and dessert table. <br />

The Food<br />
<br />
We did our first BBQ, and that was where we kinda messed up. We didn't realize how long the coals would take to heat up. So it made the party start later, and I forgot lighter fluid. :) <br />

I can't believe it really, I mean I believe she is one, but I can't believe how quickly this year went by. I have a whole list of shoulda coulda woulda's with this girl. I tried with all my might to keep up with all the changes and the growing, because I was going to be better than how I was with Axel. That's what I told myself anyway, but wouldn't you know it, I failed miserably and got even worse! I guess it just comes with the territory of having multiple children. <br />
<br />
A year ago today, I met this girl for the first time, and she has been bringing joy, excitement, and laughter to my life ever since.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCW60azHPEL258fekiON1MJyUqEHL-Qbr00hh2vcZ__GIwC54FqVCJirKqcN28yl13UGoTRAyvvtFBbOIo_aX53rfY5_aUlIWuRaNQqGyO4w6yvWiSliLODEV9pt9fKmCP3sIRvB5lleVy/s1600/100_4084.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCW60azHPEL258fekiON1MJyUqEHL-Qbr00hh2vcZ__GIwC54FqVCJirKqcN28yl13UGoTRAyvvtFBbOIo_aX53rfY5_aUlIWuRaNQqGyO4w6yvWiSliLODEV9pt9fKmCP3sIRvB5lleVy/s640/100_4084.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
She came at a rough time in our lives, I feel like my pregnancy with her was crazy hard. Hard physically, but also hard emotionally because our family life was kinda hectic, and so was my mind. Hormones are NOT my friend folks. But the day she came into our lives, it just got better, and better.<br />
She brought balance (a little less sleep mind you) But balance none the less. We went from being a couple with a baby, to a family. Complete with a Dad, Mom, big brother and baby sister. <br />
<br />
I have SO enjoyed getting to know her this year, and I am excited to see what kinda girl she turns out to be in the years to come.<br />
<br />
Earlier this week I had lunch with my mom at the hospital where she was born because my dad was having surgery, and I parked on the same side all the new parents park when having their babies. I watched about a half dozen families that day walk out of the hospital with their new little bundles, mom in wheel chair, dad carrying flowers, gift bags, and luggage, and I am not gonna lie, I kinda got teary eyed. I was flooded with nostalgia of the day we brought her home. It goes by so fast! But it really does feel like yesterday. I remember with Axel we were scared, like "are you sure we can take him home and he will live?" kind of scared. But with her, we were confident and excited to get her home and be a part of our family. She adjusted so quickly to our routine, and family. <br />
<br />
She was our super sleeper, oh how she is SUCH a great sleeper. I remember at first we were confused because she didn't want us to rock, nurse or cuddle her to sleep like her brother. She fought us on that like you wouldn't believe, and then we would put her in her crib bewildered, like what do we do now, and the next thing we knew she was asleep, and she is still that way. <br />
<br />
Even though she is now a "toddler" she is still my baby girl. She is such a petite thing. She has more spunk and sass than any one year old I have ever met.<br />
The minute she hears music she can't resist the urge to sing and dance. We get such a kick out of her when she tries to sing along with songs. Today in fact she said "do the twist" and shook her little head and swung her arms. It was one of the moments that you just about die as a parent. If you could bottle up that moment and keep it forever you would. But like all things, the moment was fleeting and gone, and all I have is the memory of it. <br />
<br />
She loves to read books, and points to all the pictures saying "what's this"and will imitate the animal sounds and give babies kisses :) <br />
<br />
When I asked Kory what I should include in this post he reminded me of something he said to describe our kids: <br />
<br />
"Both our kids love rules, Axel loves to follow them, and Dani loves to break them"<br />
<br />
And although it appears that she is rebellious, I think she just likes things her way, and if you try to stop her, she will fight you tooth and nail to do what she wants. ok sure, I guess that is rebellious, but I like to call it strong willed :) <br />
<br />
But baby girl we are so happy you came into this world, and picked us to be your family. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter, spunkier, lovelier daughter, and we are so glad to have you a part of our lives. May the next year be full of just as much fun, growth and so much!<br />
<br />
Love you baby girl!<br />
<br />
More on her birthday week coming soon! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A 5k Egg Hunt</b></div>
A week or two before Easter our stake did an Easter Egg Hunt 5k. I had every intention of getting up and running the 5k...but then I slept in. So we just got up and went to the breakfast, and did the Easter Egg hunt, and Axel did the kids 5k.<br />

He was SO funny he got on all fours in a good running stance and when they said go, ran his little heart out, even though he was in jammies and snow boots! But then the race went around the play ground and decided he was done with the race, and just wanted to play<br />

He and Dani both loved getting their little eggs in the hunt. :)<br />

Didn't even wait for the hunt to be over to start digging in....<br />

Then we played on the playground. Axel was a bit worried the other kids were going to get his basket, so he finished his candy off, just in case.<br />
<br />
We gave Axel Dani's candy, she was just happy to have the egg, and carried it with her on the playground. She loves the swings and slide!<br />

<b>Neighborhood Easter Egg hunt</b></div>
<br />
A couple of days before Easter we had the neighborhood over for a picnic/ Easter Egg hunt.<br />
Everyone brought a sack lunch and Easter eggs to add to the hunt. <br />
<br />
We had a really good turn out, it was super fun! It was nice because everyone just did their own part. I wasn't up for doing a big production, because I was in the middle of the planner orders, so it was just perfect.<br />

<br />
Axel had SO much fun and enjoyed playing with all his friends and eating most of the candy all that same day. I tried to put it up and he got very defensive and said "Mom it is NOT potty Candy it is EASTER EGG!" ha. So I backed off, he earned that candy fair and share, and he WAS NOT going to go potty to get this candy...<br />

<b>Easter Morning</b></div>
I wish I could say that I made our Easter about what it was really about, but I didn't. I was so preoccupied this year with getting our planners out, that Easter was pretty much about the baskets...<br />
<br />
But our kids loved their baskets! Here are some pictures from that day...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8SfnLf9fJzJPdTojEllUnFWnbMU7LZIh344Uj4kZkTWRPjidai2hJbwHsA47aCWzJ5AexYgaQbc0yB8eT9OoelbuNFmKqyQGhlpKNvXaSl1XzN4lD6XUOobH_wQSm2XCYOyinIfUvrHb/s1600/536276_10150634931446627_625446626_9598601_508327626_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8SfnLf9fJzJPdTojEllUnFWnbMU7LZIh344Uj4kZkTWRPjidai2hJbwHsA47aCWzJ5AexYgaQbc0yB8eT9OoelbuNFmKqyQGhlpKNvXaSl1XzN4lD6XUOobH_wQSm2XCYOyinIfUvrHb/s320/536276_10150634931446627_625446626_9598601_508327626_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEX5AL553F0haWSMCB3SGZaGLAoTqMBAclN8-HOUQO5K0yFfKYAqBFpj9Bhf4jdpMwHGak1cfwj_167YRfURgS-1pi2XXxtDUfy2lq-8UT8EuruTpUklDLNuHHcXwPr9h68XsGsb23G5LA/s1600/IMAG0145+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEX5AL553F0haWSMCB3SGZaGLAoTqMBAclN8-HOUQO5K0yFfKYAqBFpj9Bhf4jdpMwHGak1cfwj_167YRfURgS-1pi2XXxtDUfy2lq-8UT8EuruTpUklDLNuHHcXwPr9h68XsGsb23G5LA/s320/IMAG0145+copy.jpg" width="203" /></a><br />

This is Dani in her Easter Dress! Remember Axel's first Easter and I took a picture of him on this chair? She is a few months older I think 3, but she was ALL over the place. <br />
<br />
That afternoon we went to my moms for a BBQ and Axel got a a chance to fly his new kite in "windy City" (cause eagle mountain is always windy...) This was the first time he got to fly a kite, and he LOVED it! He had such a blast! It was so cute to see him run excitedly down the yard!<br />

I have every desire to be caught up on my blog...<br />
<br />
I have sooo many posts to write but feel like I have to keep them in order or else that event will be forgotten, or lost, as this is the only way I take any sort of record of my family and it's progress, and it seems like even this has taken the back burner to other activities.<br />
<br />
And if you really hate these updates feel free to come back some other time but this is the MOTHERLOAD of updates....<br />

Oh this girl kills me, and keeps me on my toes constantly. Her determination to grow up is just soo fascinating and frustrating too. I would like her to stay my baby for at least the first year. But already before her first birthday she is quite independent and mobile.<br />

She is quite the chatterbox as well and can say a whole slew of words already! She has our family down, Mama, Dad, Axel, Celeste, Zoe and Dani. She can say No no no, this, that, mmmm, and ahhhh. She has started to say keys now, to add to her objects of duck, quack, bath, teeth. She tries to copy me all the time too. Yesterday I was pretending to snore on the couch, and she jumped up to my face and went RAARRR!!! It was super cute, and funny. She thrives on being the center of EVERYONE'S attention. <br />

She is such a GREAT sleeper. At night all we have to do is put her in her crib, and when lights are out she snuggles with her blanket and is OUT! And will stay there until the morning! This has been SO nice for us. Sometimes I take this for granted though, and have to remind myself that this is RARE, and be grateful that I am not ups 2-3 times every night nursing!<br />

She is still tiny tiny tiny. This is hard sometimes for me, I worry she isn't getting enough nutrients, because she literally is tiny I mean the girl still fits in her 3-6 clothes, I make her wear 9 month, and 12 clothes, because her other ones are getting to that stretched out sick faze, but she still fits in them, and barely fits in her size. But the girl eats 3 times what Axel does of solid food. She just has her father's metabolism and her mother's activity level I think. At our last dr appointment she hadn't grown much but our dr wasn't too worried because she was still growing. I would be shocked if she was more than 17 lbs at her 1 year mark.<br />

I always laugh when people ask me if they can hold Dani, and she wiggles like crazy out of their hands, or pulls their hair until they give her what she wants. I know it is not that funny, but she knows what she wants and she kinda is ruthless. I say she doesn't mean it, but I am pretty sure she does. I have figured out recently that the reason she pulls hair is because she is trying to get attention from that person. It took me a LONG time to figure it out, but after observing her play with a friend, one minute they were giving each other loves, but when the girl turned and started to play with a different toy, Dani went straight for her hair! I also realized that when she pulls my hair I am usually preoccupied with something out and she is just trying to get me to focus on her! <br />

The other day she climbed up to a neighbor girl got a hold of her hair pulled her to the ground with said hair and took the doll from her. Yeah she was fast and ruthless. The little girl didn't even know what was happening, she just kept saying "Baby no no"....sigh this girl, I laugh now but I am slightly nervous that she will be a force to be reckoned with later in life.<br />
<br />
She LOVES to sing and dance, she knows all the actions to one of the songs from the library, and for a while there she would make me sing it to her over and over again. But she twists and shakes it better than any baby I know :)<br />

First and foremost, we are over the potty training hurdle! He is completely out of diapers/and pull ups, even at night! I still am so proud of him for being so brave and cooperative. It was hard for him at first, he didn't like this new step, but once he gained confidence in himself, he really started to get excited about it all. The night thing was really funny, he decided to do that all on his own. He told Kory one night when they were getting ready for bed "I don't wear pull ups!" and after that he was just done, and hasn't gone back since. I am a bit worried this summer when we have to put swim diapers on, (because he is still under the age limit where they allow them to go without, I think it is 4).

He is getting so smart! I can not believe how much he takes in and is learning lately. Specifically gospel stuff. He has gotten really into singing, he knows a whole bunch of primary songs, and has started singing them while he plays, or when he is down stairs in the studio! Obviously this makes us both very happy, he loves that song by the band called "Fun" and sings it every time it is on the radio :) so its not ALL church stuff. :) <br />

He is really getting good at the concept of saying prayers and why we say them. The other day at lunch he reminded me that we needed to say a prayer before eating. He also reminded us last Sunday that we needed to say a family prayer before bed. :) And the other night he said the prayer for dinner by himself and he said "Thank you for the food, thank you for the prophet". We were pretty surprised by this since it is not usually something we pray for at dinner, I am pretty sure Nursery taught him that. <br />
<br />
He LOVES spending time with his friends. I was really worried that Axel would be a lot more introverted, because he was such a shy baby. But he has really come out of his shell lately and everyday he asks to go play with the neighbor boy, or the "Lock and his Nana" (other neighbor kids). It is fun to sit back and just listen to them play and pretend, and to explore the world around them.<br />

Last but not least, he is pretty OBSESSED with superheros these days. I mean, knows more superheros by name, and their villains more then I ever have in my entire life. He and Kory have been reading comic books every night, and remember those peg people I made him for Christmas? Well he has quite the collection now, I wont go into to much detail because Kory wants to blog about it, so I will leave it for him. But the whole thing has opened this whole new world for him! Everyday he is a different character. He still loves robots, pirates, and basketball, but right now he REALLY loves super heroes. Most days he wears jammies all day because all of his super hero costumes are jammies. So I have been working on updating his wardrobe with different super hero T's, I have made r so far (Batmant, Hulk, Captain America, and the Flash) but he has a list for me now and wants me to make MORE.<br />

<br />
They were reading comic books togther, COMIC BOOKS! I have a child old enough to appreciate comic books!? Right above their heads was a collage of his newborn baby photos. Where did the time go?! It is as if I blinked and he went from being that teeny tiny helpless baby to this big indepedent boy!<br />
<br />
My mind raced back to the day we had those pictures done.<br />

It was a gift from my dear friend <a href="http://jesslorraine.blogspot.com/2012/04/mini-sessions-april-2627-29.html" target="_blank">Jessica</a>. He was only a few days old when they were done.<br />
<h3>
I remember that day like it was yesterday. </h3>
We had just returned home from our appointment to get his bilirubin levels checked, I felt frazzled and unkempt, my boobs were swollen from nursing around the clock, I hadn't showered in days, and my house was a mess. <br />
<br />
I tried to pull it together before my friend got there, but needless to say the past week had been quite the rollercoaster for us, and despite my efforts our house was gross. <br />
<br />
When she got there, we exchanged hugs and she quietly walked our home for the perfect place to take pictures. I was kinda embarrassed, because we hadn't had a chance to even get stuff put away with him. But she found a place to take pictures of him, regardless of the chaos that surrounded her.<br />
<br />
She placed a mat on the ground in our front room, (then it was our office/entryway) we had a craft table in the corner, a dog crate against the wall, needless to say it was probably the LAST room I would have picked to put my baby in. She covered the baby mat with one of his blankets and went to work.<br />
<br />
I remember watching amazed as she started to photograph my baby. This was the first time I had seen her do her work since she graduated from The Arts Academy in LA. <br />

One minute she was standing above my baby on her tippy toes, to laying on the floor beside him. She was done in no time, she even let me stop and feed him :) <br />
<br />
Then the phone rang. It was our Dr.<br />
<br />
He told me we needed to get to the hospital right away and have Axel put under lights, his bilirubin levels were life threatening high, and we needed to get to the Pediatric Unit... NOW.<br />
<br />
I hung up the phone and started to ball. Our visit with Jessica ended, and I was bummed we had to cut it short. Kory and I, rushed our new little baby to the Pediatric Unit of the hospital, scared and uncertain as to what was ahead of us.<br />

There our doctor informed us that there was an error in the lab read, and that instead of his levels dropping like they had told us, they had in fact risen, and to dangerous levels. Had we gone a day longer, we would have been facing possible brain damage.<br />
<br />
These words were hard for me to hear. We were so close to losing him, what if we hadn't gone that last time to get the blood draw "just to be safe"! What if I had rushed home to shower and clean my house to make myself "presentable" for my visitor instead?<br />

That evening Kory went home to get some of the things we needed for that night. In our mailbox was a small package addressed to our family.<br />

He brought it to me in the hospital. It was a disk wrapped with care in the most adorable stationary, with a thoughtful note, that is too personal to share, but is tucked away in his baby book, and still brings tears to my eyes. <br />
<br />
We put the CD in our laptop and gushed over the hundreds of pictures she took of our beautiful baby boy. I was shocked how beautiful she was able to make them despite the surroundings she worked with. Each one so delicately touched up and edited. She captured every adorable side of him that we were soo smitten by. I wasn't able to hold my baby longer than to nurse him at that point, so I was sooo grateful for this precious thoughtful gift that allowed me to see my baby again, without all the scary monitors or big neon bed.<br />
<br />
It was the perfect gift. <br />

<br />
Before we had kids, Kory and I would joke about how we couldn't wait to have kids, so we could snap some pictures of our kids and give them to our parents every year for gifts because it is sooo hard to find gifts for them. And each year when I ask my Mother or Mother in law what they would like, it is always the same "Just some pictures or a card is all I want". <br />
<br />
Now that we are parents, we totally see how something like this means soo much to them. Kids grow up quickly, and then you blink and that stage is long gone and forgotten, all you have left is memories and photographs. Hand written cards and photographs to help you remember that wonderful and fleeting time.<br />
<br />
Since then we have had her photograph many events in our lives, and all of them equally as important as this one, and each time I am completely smitten by the beauty and delicacy that surrounds her photography, and how she is able to capture the images I try, but fail to. She photographs my kids the way I see my kids, and I LOVE it.<br />
<br />
I can't belive how much Axel looks like Dani here. <br />

What better gift to give this Mother's Day to your wife, your mother, or your daughter than a chance to be photographed by the most talented, gifted and caring photographer I know!<br />
<br />

Have you made your appointment yet?!! Go NOW!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457764194636748713.post-88345424913678504052012-04-10T16:31:00.001-07:002012-04-10T16:58:01.981-07:00miss me?Umm is it just me or did March just kind of come and go in record time!?<br />
<br />
March has been one crazy, fun, and exciting month for our little family! We have been quite busy! And I am sorry to say that my blog has been the only thing I have let kinda drop as I have been adjusting to all these changes, see I told you all I don't do well with change... <br />
<br />
So I hope you wont mind my quick little update, by quick I mean long, and by little I mean loads of pictures!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My first paid Party gig </span><br />
<br />
So once upon a time I tried my hand at cake pops for Axel's first birthday. They were a huge hit, I couldn't believe something so simple could be such a delicacy and have so many people swooning! After that I started getting requests from close friends to make them for small baby showers, blessing and birthdays.<br />
<br />
But word spread and I randomly got a lady who had tasted my cake pops at a family members shower and wanted to hire me for her daughters birthday! I was so flattered! It was some what nerve racking to make them under that pressure, but they loved them, so it all worked out!<br />
<br />
Then not less than a week later my sister asked if she could hire me to throw her sons party, and she didn't really care what I did, so long as there was a leprechaun treasure hunt and they got a goodie bag and a cake pop at the end. SWEET!<br />
<br />
I had so much fun planning, shopping and preparing every detail for his St. Patrick's Day/ Birthday Party! <br />
<br />
Here is a brief preview.... you can look at the rest of the pictures <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150638507021627.387094.625446626&type=1&l=c5cf10e504">here</a>.<br />

It was nearly impossible to find St. Patrick's day stuff even though I went shopping two weeks before, it was all Easter stuff. However, I did find these cute party hats at the Dollar store, and Kory convinced me to make the chin strap beards for all the guests. I still have way way too much orange material if anyone needs some. But Joann's came to the rescue and the week before the party I was able to find a TON of St Patrick's Day party favors for 40 percent off! It was a steal! </div>

We played "Pin the Chin-Strap on the Leprechaun", and this is the Axel sized leprechaun I designed and printed and then had to color it, because it was way to costly to print in color. The difference was .75 cents a square foot vs 7.50 a square foot! But Axel and I had fun coloring it, and all the kids were super impressed :) <br />

Lastly, we had the main event, requested by the birthday boy. A treasure hunt for the Leprechauns Pot of Gold. We put clues all over the house on over sized coins. Aislynn was such a good sport to direct and lead ALL the kids around the house to find and read the clues. And I must say there is NOTHING more chaotic then 26+ kids trying to find clues on a treasure hunt inside. But they had a blast! <br />

This was the last clue and the "Gold at the end of the Rainbow!" I wish I would have gotten white balloons, the package of the balloons said it was light blue, but they were closer to navy. oh well. Rain cloud colored balloons are more realistic anyway...right?<br />

Each guest got their own little "Pot of Gold" along with a couple other goodies in a little cellophane bag. I loved how these turned out! I painted 26 little baby food jars with chalkboard paint, and filled them full of Rolo's and Hershey's Gold nuggets. I was so glad I had saved all those jars from Axel, I had just enough! And it was nice to free up the space in my cabinet! </div>

<br />
I was so flattered that so many of you liked my header, weather you sent me a text or made a comment, I just wanted to say thank you! <br />
<br />
Yes! I did design it! <br />
<br />
It actually was inspired after I created this design for my kids room. It is still a work in progress, I can not decide what to do with it. (It is an attempt to meld the colors of the room together, and I know less is more, so feel free to give me feedback...) <br />

I can't decide on the placement of the kids. Or if I like the bubbles and flowers...what do you think?<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been designing my headers for as long as I have been blogging, but none have had such a response (minus my couple loyal fellow graphic artist friends... you know who you are :) )<br />
<br />
But I have been feeling pretty mediocre lately with my graphic design abilities, so I just wanted to tell you all thanks for the love and support! I would be happy to show/help anyone how to do this too, just shoot me an email!<br />
<br />
I have also been working like crazy to get my 2012 planners out, and I am sooo excited for them! I can't wait to start using them as well! I loved my previous design, but it definitely had its flaws, and for me I feel like this will be a great improvement to that.<br />
<br />
I am doing a sale and today (27) and tomorow (28) are the very last days to get them for CRAZY cheap. $10 in fact!<a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/179424385503751/"> Go here</a> for all the details, and to request an order form! Make sure you follow the directions in the events page! <br />
