<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">February 16th we dropped Sawyer off with my sister Adrienne and took Colston on a date to a Blazer game. The Blazer stink this season but we had fun just taking him for the experience. Brandon's sister Brittney, her boyfriend Michael, baby Miles, and Michael's brother's family all went. We had dinner at Red Robin and had ice cream at the game. Colston held my hand when he started to get tired and I enjoyed it knowing that the day will come when he doesn't want to. Sad to think about but ANYWAY, Colston's favorite part was the flying blimp car. He laughed and laughed and said that it went 'Ni Ni' when they put it away. It was a fun night and I am excited to have another date with our little man again soon!</span></div>Brandon and Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10215671763280092501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776953187956149588.post-24675321186926536242012-03-19T18:23:00.004-07:002012-03-19T18:23:48.477-07:00Miss Saucy Sawyer 'Sister'<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">February 11, 2012: I talked my parents into going with me and the kids to my cute cousins State Cheer competition in Portland. My dad's sister Debi and her family live in Bend, OR. We are all really lame and never see each other which is silly being so close. ANYWAY Debi let us know that they would be 'closer' and I was able to convince the 'rents' to go! It was something I've never done so it was pretty fun to experience something new with people I love!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before I had to head back to work after being off since November, Brandon told me he wanted to head to the beach for the weekend. Not only two nights, but two nights IN A HOTEL! I was so excited to take this adventure with my little family.We packed up and headed out Friday Feb. 2nd. We checked into our hotel and then decided to walk around and get some dinner. We went to the arcade and the boys played some games and got some really yummy pizza. Once we got back to the hotel the boys decided to go swimming in the pool. Colston was SO excited and LOVED everything about the pool. They had a lot of fun while 'sister' and I watched from the side. It was way too cold for us!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DAY 2:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brandon's mom, sister Amber and her baby Miles all came Friday to hang out and stay the last night with us. They showed up after naps and we then decided to take a stroll through town and make our way to the beach. We stopped for lunch and had some yummy burgers. Sawyer had fallen asleep in the front pack so I took it all off and laid her down on a blanket on the bench next to me. She slept the whole time. Colston got smiley potatoes and mini corndogs.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BEACH!!! I have never remembered a more beautiful weekend at the beach. The weather was amazing, in the mid 60's. Colston LOVED to run around in the sand and throw it and dig in it. Miles enjoyed sitting and feeling the sand with his hands and he was really good about not eating it too! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found a sand dollar and Colston was too scared to touch it. The babies slept on the blanket. We journeyed down to the water which was COLD! It hurt our feet and we laughed as we tried to run away from the sneaky waves. Colston was in HEAVEN. I never want to forget how cute he was trying to run so fast and how upset he was when we took him back to the dry sand. If we would have let him, we would have lost him to the sea. He spent some time digging holes with dad and Grandma Teresa too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I LOVE this picture. Brandon caught it with his cell phone. There is something about the ocean that captivates me. The sound of the waves, the smell of the salt and the feel of the sand. To top it off the sky was beautiful as the sun began it's decent. BUT the real topper was having my babies near. To feel the weight of my daughter in my arms as I could hear the laughter of my husband and son. Nothing was greater than that. It's magical really.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That night everyone went to the pool for some swimming. It was a first for Miles so that was fun. I didn't get in the pool because I sat on the side with Sawyer. (really there was no way I was getting into a swimsuit!) After the pool we trucked back to the pizza place for dinner and more arcade games then headed back for bath time then bed! We had a rough night sleep because Miles got sick but that's ok. Some is better than none. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DAY 3:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For our last day of our vacation we drove south to Cannon Beach. Teresa bought a kite and showed Colston how to fly it. Colston spent most of the day pushing his new tractor around in the 'dirt'. He enjoyed watching the seagulls gather around to feast on whatever you offered. And Sawyer slept and even got to put her feet in the sand. </span></div>

I honestly have no words for how cute this little princess is. She melts my heart. She was made for ME. I can not describe the bond I feel with Sawyer. Heavenly Father knew I needed her. Why I was lucky enough to be a mother to my wonderful children... I will never know. And quite frankly I don't care. I am just going to be the best mother I can be and NEVER let my children forget how much I love them. EVERYDAY. </div>

February 6th, 2012: My WHOLE family was able to come to Sawyer's blessing. My brothers, sisters, parents, Aunt Polly, nieces, nephews...even our awesome friends Stephen and Telicia and their girls. It was the best day. The blessing by Gpa Barry was beautiful. We also had our friend Jeromy Dixon stand in the circle and at the last second Pres. Dave Richardson. It was amazing and I am soooo blessed to be a part of such a wonderful knit of family and friends.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My life has been changed. It changes everyday. Changes in ways I LOVE. In ways I hope it continues to change. I love my husband. I love how he is with our children. He's the best father. I love our children. I just always want to squish them... hard. But not too hard... well... I want to but I don't. Just enough. </span></div>

AHHH I just LOVE this face.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Sawyer weighed in 9.75lbs and was 22in long.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
She smiles, coos, ALWAYS moves, almost rolls from her stomach to her back, LOVES to stand with help, does NOT like to be held like a baby usually does. She sleeps through the night. She LOVES her baths. She HATES the car seat. She truly is the best little baby girl. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My babies were cuddling on our bed and Colston and I were telling Sawyer that she needed to be brave during her two month Dr. appointment and getting her shots. It really was the sweetest thing. He is SUCH a great big brother!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sawyer weighed in at 9.75lbs and 22inches long. She is still below 50% on the charts in all categories but the Dr. was happy with her growth and how strong she is. She couldn't believe how well she holds her head up and body straight. She had to get three shots and I was on my own with her. I felt bad as they stabbed her little chicken legs but she was VERY brave and stopped crying shortly after I picked her up. Way to go baby girl!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Had to capture this. After Sawyer's appointment, we had to go to my parents house to get Colston. While we were there I cut up an orange and gave C some slices. With his second slice, he never brought the rind back to me. I knew that he hadn't eaten it so I had to search the living room for it. My parents have a table in the entry way to their house and I found it stuffed into a tiny little hole. Took me awhile to dig it out. I sure got a good laugh.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was being such a sweet boy. He usually is pretty rude to Murphy dog. He like to pinch him, grab his ears, squeeze him, and try to ride him. Today I caught him cuddling with him. He just laid down and noticed me at the last second. Times like this remind me that he actually IS a sweet boy. Ha!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a friend that I went to high school with who had a daughter one month before I had Colston. We have gotten together a few times for the kids to play and happened to work it into our busy schedule! Cassie and her daughter Lily came over around 10am (before nap time). It took the kids a couple minutes to warm up to each other, especially since Colston isn't always the nicest person. He now thinks everything is his and he lets the world know by yelling, 'MINE!' They ate a good lunch, colored on the window with the window crayons, and ran a WHOLE bunch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love my mornings with these two and am sad starting next week I won't get them anymore. Not for a few months anyway. Back to work I must go. I love how much they love each other. I think it's funny how C loves his bink and S hates hers. (We have cut back with his bink A LOT) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today we are venturing to the beach to stay in a hotel for TWO nights with the kids. Brandon wanted to go somewhere before I have to go back to work. His mom and sister Amber and baby Miles will be joining us Friday night. I cant wait. Once the laundry is dry and the dishes are done....OFF WE GO!!! Pictures to come.</span></div>Brandon and Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10215671763280092501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776953187956149588.post-45567755950366330382012-01-27T19:21:00.000-08:002012-01-27T19:21:11.224-08:00Baths and books don't mix<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">For some reason... Colston decided his two of his three favorite books needed to get in the bath. At first I was mad because I LOVE books and lately he's been putting his favorite ones through the ringer, yet still wants ONLY to read those before bed. The Gruffalo, The Big Red Barn, and I Love You Stinkyface.... I made myself try to understand his thinking. He has torn some pages and the cardboard books, he's peeled apart. (Maybe thinking it was another page?) ANYWAY... He loves the bath and he loves his books. So maybe he wanted them to take a bath with him. I love him but sometimes.... ha... he drives me crazy! Brandon fished them out and I propped them up to dry. </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday we decided to head out to our friend Jessi and Ollie's house for a play date. The kids had a lot of fun playing but I didn't get any pictures except one. I must mention though the funniest thing that happened just so I can remember it down the road. Jessi and I were chatting in the living room while the kids were back in Olivia's room playing. Things got pretty quiet but I was nursing Smackers and Jessi has a blown back at the moment. A minute later her little lady Olivia came crawling down the hall with a red marker coloring on the hard wood. As she glanced up I noticed her face had red drawings all over it. I quickly stopped nursing and ran down the hall to investigate. I found Colston on Ollie's bed just sitting there. I scanned the walls with my eyes and found nothing. But when they reached the floor... that's when I saw it. I should have taken pictures dang it. BUT there were drawings all over the light tan carpet and a handful of her stuffed animals. Colston just looked at me and said, 'Cholor?' He had no marker so we will never know if they both colored or what. He had a mark on his eyelid, his neck, and his hand. We were able to clean it all up, but have seen a glimpse of our future with these two trouble makers. Watch out world!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the 25th (Wednesday), there were some breaks of sunshine in the clouds. After a hard workout with my husband I decided we should take the kids on a walk. Loosen up our muscles and get some fresh air. I wasn't sure how Sawyer would do in the bike carriage that turns into a stroller but we just tucked her in nice and tight with blankets. We saw the duck down the street and just enjoyed being outside. When we got back home Colston had a melt down. This kid could stay outside ALL day if we let him. It wouldn't matter if he was soaked, freezing, or naked probably. I felt bad so.....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We said bye to dad and sister and journeyed down to the cul-de-sac to get some four wheeling in. HE LOVES HIS FOUR WHEELER. Problem is, he doesn't QUITE know how to steer very well. He's good at going in circles and crashing into things. I spent more time detouring him from neighbors' cars and the curb more than anything. I can't even explain how I feel when I see his cute smiles while riding his quad. He casually glances at me with huge grins and musical giggles... I could play with this kid all day. I love him. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next day (Thursday) Brandon's mom came to visit. Brandon got home from work early and the sun was again shining. We decided to take another walk to feed the duck that lives down the street. Brandon wanted to stay home so I left Smac with him and off we were with our 'Uck food' (Duck food=bread) We got to where we usually see the duck and he was no where to be found. It was pretty lame. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I am pretty sure he ran the entire time. Not to mention this was around 2pm and he still hadn't had a nap. His spirits were surprisingly happy! He pointed out all the airplanes, tripped in the dirt, ran in the water (should have worn our rain boots), sat on someone's decorative wall, and talked the whole time...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Then we noticed that behind that green fence was.... A TRACTOR. (A Cat tractor to be exact) Boy did C kick his running into high gear.

Not anymore...<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday January 17, 2012 was a day I have dreaded FOREVER. Although my wisdom teeth have been grown in for years... straight and all... the dentist said it was time for them to be pulled. I was PETRIFIED. I would MUCH rather have a baby than get my teeth pulled. I have never had teeth pulled but in my mind I was so nervous and scared. The surgery was set for Tuesday though. My mom drove me to the oral surgeon and stayed during the procedure. I was put out because I wouldn't have done it if not. I felt the needle go in my hand and nothing after that. I was then wheeled to my mom's car and we went to the pharmacy to get my pain medicine. I ended up taking a small amount and have healed almost all the way. I stayed the night at my parents house so my mom could help with the kids because B had to work. My medicine made me CRASH and I didn't want to be left alone with the kids. The first two nights stunk. (I went home the next night) But we did spend the days at my parents house. We even got some snow and C got to play in it. Thursday night B offered to get up with the kids because he doesn't work Friday's. To our surprise we woke up realizing we never got up in the night. All FOUR of us slept for NINE hours straight. It was amazing. My face never bruised and didn't get TOO swollen. Here are the pictures of our week adventure:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sawyer woke up this morning at 2:30am. No biggie... I fed her, changed her, and then rocked her. It usually takes me about and hour or TWO to get this girl back to sleep. She sleeps every night about 5-8 hours straight so I can't complain. But unlike MOST normal newborns who go to sleep usually in the middle of nursing... she does not. I took this picture with my phone though because she's totally sleeping. Completely out... with her hands just like this. Makes me wonder what she's dreaming... because she totally kept smiling too. (I must add... she pooped up her back a few hours later)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Once both kids woke up... about 7:30am, Colston and I showered while Sister sat in her bouncer chair. She cried pretty much the whole time and once we got out I was in a mad rush to get dressed, get Colston dressed, and pick up our dirty clothes. She stopped crying so I ran back in there worried... and this is what I found. He brought her one of his favorite books and was reading it to her and she was out. I almost cried it was so precious. Then before he saw me I got these pictures with my phone while he said, "K Ister. Shhhh." (It's ok Sister...)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Our son is obsessed with his cousin Esther. They play all the time and VERY well. I wish she could drop out of school and just help me out all day. If Esther is around, no one else exists. (Most of the time) If she holds the baby, he cries. If she talks to someone or does something like go to the bathroom, he cries. And if she LEAVES, he loses it. Absolutely loses it for a good 10-15 min. She came and played today and they had a blast. They went outside, ate lunch, made a fort, and 'cholored' (colored). It was fun having her around today! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I am aiming to get Colston to go to Nursery by himself. I waited until now because when I was pregnant it was too hard to hear him cry... emotional me I suppose. ANYWAY, we tried it once and he ended up not lasting very long and could hardly breath when I went to get him. Face all red and wet from his tears and snot. Well last Sunday I made sure Sawyer was nice and full, handed her off to my mom/sister, and ventured off to Nursery with my little man. He clung to my side but eventually gained a little of his independence. Not entirely though. He cried during singing time (for an unknown reason he tends to cry when you sing sometimes. It's weird and random but it's true), he loved snack time obviously, and loved to 'Cholor' (color). I think if I keep going with him a couple more times all will be well! (At least I hope so!) Here is a picture of the picture he colored so I don't feel obligated to keep it Ü</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esther decided that for her birthday this year she wanted the family to hike Beacon Rock. Not everyone could make it because of our busy lives but there was a handful of us that braved the weather. It was RAINY and WINDY. When we got there I really had no desire to hike to the top of the big rock with Sawyer's added weight to my front. Plus I was COLD. We all bundled up and started our trek. Brandon was pretty nervous with Colston's added weight too... hahaha. Would we MAKE IT?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Twenty four years ago a man named Rufus became a big part of our family. My mom and brother Jacob went on a dive trip to the Bahamas and Rufus was another traveler. He befriended my brother since he was traveling alone and from then on has made a huge bond with our family. Three months after they met Rufus, he traveled up to our cold, wet corner of the world and met the rest of our family. We've kept in contact through the years and he visited once or twice. BUT since Jacob got married (on Rufus' bday) he decided to make the journey again and celebrate with us. The thing about Rufus is, he almost died this last year. He was having some serious health issues but since has been able to get them taken care of and he even retired! We've all very much enjoyed having him and hope that he can make another trip up this summer! Before he left, I wanted to go to lunch with him and my little family and get some good pictures.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little pre-bed play time. He spilled some hot chocolate on his shirt... well actually just let it fall out of his mouth. One of his favorite things to do lately. Drives me nuts. Sometimes he keeps juice in his mouth so he can spit it randomly around on the carpet, toys, or the couch. It's wonderful.... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes I try new things to entertain my son so I can get stuff done. Another win at our house... a couple balloons. I couldn't stop laughing at this kid as he kept throwing the balloon up into the air and waiting for it to either hit him in the head or the floor. Not to mention it gave me a good half hour or more!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also found this and couldn't stop laughing. This boy has such an imagination. Reminds me of myself.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not a fan of Monday. It means the weekend is over, which means Brandon goes back to work.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Bed Hog #2... if it's not Colston in the middle... it's Sawyer. But he is the #1 Bed Hog that's for sure because he likes to sleep the opposite way of everyone else. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As we wake up, he always tells Sawyer good morning and gives her kisses. And if it's not time to get up he holds her hand or her foot as we all go back to sleep. It's really sweet. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sawyer has had some tummy issues since being born and it's not always easy on us. She cries and cries sometimes without being able to be consoled and it makes it hard to stay patient.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Yesterday I was gathering ALL our things and putting them in the car to venture to my parents house. I am adjusting to not working and it's not as easy as I thought it would be. Not that I don't LOVE being at home but it is hard to get used to not working. We get a little stir crazy sitting at home all day and this time around I have strongly felt the baby blues. I am trying to fight them off by staying busy... and trying to get out. Anyway, Sawyer was crying on the couch and I was trying to hurry so we could get out the door. I suddenly heard her stop and it kind of scared me as big brother was lurking around. He's NEVER done anything mean to her but I was nervous. I quickly walked in and he was laying by her on the couch with his snake. He was saying, "K Ister" (Ok sister). She only started to cry when she heard my voice. It was touching to see that he was making her feel better by being a sweet big brother. He sure loves his baby sister and I am SO grateful for that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> At my parent's house, Colston got a treat from Aunt Angela. I think most everyone in our family loves Nutella. It's delicious. But the reason I captured this moment is because he was telling Murphy to move. He sticks his hand out towards you, or in this case Murphy and says, "OOOF!" (Move) He does this when you tell him no, to stop, or anything he doesn't want to hear. It's really funny but not because it's him telling me no. It drives me crazy really, but I want to remember this. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today while I was feeding Sawyer, I glanced over at Colston and saw this. He was looking closely at his finger all covered in blood. He never cried. I have no clue what happened but I got this picture to send to Brandon. I remember him picking his nose prior but I was shocked to see this. Yes... that is all blood.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For our New Year celebration this year we headed to our friend's Sean and Jessi's. They had some family and other friends there all to help ring in the New Year. We ate lots of yummy food, got a big poker game going, the kids played and Jessi and I tried to not fall asleep. I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked but that's ok. At least I got a few. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend Sarah and I were both pregnant at the same time. It was fun to have someone to share it with especially since our due dates were only four days apart. Sawyer ended up coming early and Isaiah was a day late. Once things settled down after Christmas we ventured over to their house with pizza to meet the new little guy. Or should I say big guy Ü Compared to Sawyer's tiny petite self, Isaiah is a total boy. He weighed 8lbs at birth and I don't think Sawyer weighs that still. It was cute though to see them together!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every year we rotate names in our family for gifts because we have a billion people and it makes it easier. It also gives us all a chance to do something meaningful. Every year dad goes all out for whoever he has and so far has surprised everyone he's given a gift too. He is so creative and really puts a lot of love into what he gives. This year I was the lucky one. He picked up this amazing antique magazine holder and then spent MANY hours painting and designing it just for me. It's beautiful and I love it. One side still needs to be finished but we're thinking of something together to fill it. Now I need to make space for it in our house. I just wish I could put it in the middle of the room so everyone could see all sides of it.</span></div>
