Another Birthday

March is a HUGE month for birthdays in our house. sawyer rounds out the march birthdays around here.Sawyer turned 6 on the 20th. We started the day with his breakfast of choice strawberry milk and doughnuts. He opened his presents and was so excited for a new DS.

After school we took him to get air. All the boys enjoyed a fabulous evening. We ended the night with Chinese food (his choice) and a quick trio to target.

Sawyer is such a funny kid.
His favorite things are coloring and drawing. He is still a spitfire and hates being told what to do. He is the best eater and will pretty much try anything.

I turned 31 on the 16th. I am getting to the point where I hate celebrating my birthday. I love celebrating the boys birthdays and worshipping them. Jeff does a great Job of spoiling me on my birthdays. This year the weekend before my birthday Jeff and I spent the whole day together down in San Diego doing whatever I wanted. I sure love him. Him and Nash and I had a great day.

Then on my actual birthday I spent the day with my favorite people. My mom Jenn an I got pedicures went to lunch and then did some shopping that night we went bowlin with Aaron, Michael and my parents and then out to dinner. It was a very unforgettable day. I felt so loved all week!!

Rhys turned 2 on the first! So hard for me to believe he is already 2!! He is such a funny little guy and has quickly grown into the role of no longer being the baby. He is an opinionated little guy and likes things the way he wants when he wants. Rhys is very patient and sits for hours on end in the car happily. He loves his blanket an thumb and as long as he has those things life is pretty much complete. He still is a Mama's boy unless daddy is around and then he likes both of us. He is very sweet with Nash unless he is getting all my attention in that case he usually goes and finds some 2 year old mischief to keep him busy.
He is starting to talk a lot more and we are encouraging him to use his words. He would much rather scream at us all.
He loves breads and sweets. He has become a very very picky eater. Which makes me crazy!! Rhys is the perfect snuggle bug and loves his sleep. He pretty much asks to go to bed every night by putting his blanket in his bed and going down for the night! We love our little rhysy!!

taking photos with a 2 year old is a form of torture....

 

Jeff's cousin Kari attempted the impossible....to take our family pictures. I am pretty sure the next time I am crazy enough to attempt this again I am going to rent a family. Because it was a serious disaster trying to get all the kids to smile...look at the camera and not kill each other. Luckily we got a few pictures. I still need to edit them but lets be honest that may never happen. 

 

 

Bad Luck.....

I was really hoping after this happened....the day after christmas with my brand new baby. I was thinking maybe just maybe our bad luck was ending.

Nope it didn't last.....Last wednesday I slipped going down the stairs with Nash. Luckily I bent my body forward over Nash and he was completely fine. But I took a good beating I have a small hair line fracture in my arm. No cast but I am in a sling for the next few weeks. And I hurt my back and bruised a kidney.  Luckily I am feeling so much better....except maybe my pride. 

I am so glad that I have so much family and friends looking out for us. Our ward has been so supportive bringing in meals for weeks and offering anything. My family is amazing and I am so blessed having them around me to offer help. I really hope I can get back to normal quickly and back to our life and our new normal....whatever that is!!

New Years....

2012 was one of those years that honestly I couldn't be happier to say good bye to. While we did have some amazing things a new house, and a new baby most of the things in between were a bit much. So counting down to 2013 was exciting to me. I couldn't wait to put this year and the bad string of luck goodbye......

I swear it may not look like it fits....

Aunt Leslie was such a HUGE help with the boys while we were going back and forth to the hospital. I don't know what I would have done with out her!!

 During the day we decided to take the boys out to go do something....we tried out the new bowling alley in Temecula....the boys loved it.  I loved it because it was all so nice and new and CLEAN. Bowling alleys completely freak me out!!

 That night we headed to my Grandparents for lots of yummy food and games. Dru and Heather introduced to a fun new game bubble talk it was a hit with all....except the men who were busy playing poker...Jeff actually won. Maybe we should test out our luck in Vegas this year!!

 Carter and Noah kept coming up with these funny hair styles.....goof balls!

 Sawyer and Rhys were the only two who didn't make it until midnight.

 I made Casey take a picture with me....I found out I was pregnant with Nash two days before I threw her a baby shower for Jack....I definitely did NOT see that one coming!!!

 2013 has got to be better to us.....pretty please!!

 Party animal....

 New years day was spent like this.......SO SO tired!!

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve was spent over at my Grandparents with all the Morgan's and yes I realize how crazy it was that I took my NICU released baby but I slapped on the Ergo and no one bugged him at all. Also in large part to my mom giving everyone a pep talk before we arrived about keeping a perimeter. I love my family could't imagine a holiday with out them.  

 Cari and Heather had a great idea to make every family do a game or skit it was very entertaining only next year we might need to start a little earlier!!

 The reindeer panty hose game was a HUGE hit.  Once home it was time to set out cookies and milk and open Christmas PJ's.....Santa came and we had some very spoiled boys!!

 First night all tucked in his bed....

Red mustaches and funny glasses were a hit in the stockings this year!!

 I got my very own doll to play with.....yes that is a real doll box!

 My perfect baby Jesus!!

I can't believe we made it to Christmas. I was a little sad because I didn't get to do all my traditions that I love about this time of year. But all and all it was a wonderful Christmas!!
