It's about that time

I am going private. Leave your e-mail address! Thanks

my obsession...

is these BROWN EYED beauties, they just melt my heart!



MaX is just growing up so fast. He has such a sweet heart and tries to always please us.


*He is so into anything electronic. That is an understatement! He loves the Wii, the Ds and the computer. He has been saving money (and has $60) to buy the Wii. We told him if he came up with $100, we would pay the rest. He is excited!


*He is the ring leader and the other boys follow him around. Sometimes he gets mad that they have to do everything he does.


*He loves his brothers and has been asking me when he can have a baby sister. He came in our room the other night, climbed in bed with us and wanted to talk about what we would name our sister. The name he really likes is Susan. We started talking about what we would name our next boy. I told him a name and he didn't approve! He said if we picked that name he would get made fun of at school! HAha!! I guess we need to pick another one...... We thought of all kinds of silly names for boys. After a few minutes he said, "can we just talk about girl names again!" He is so sweet!


*He just lost his 4th tooth, right in front on the top!


*Every night before we go to bed we go around the room and everyone has to tell something nice they did for someone that day. He always has something to tell us about! Last night he said he sat quiet for his teacher and read his book like she asked because no one else would.


*I leave him little love notes in his lunch and he always says - thanks mom! I hope there never comes a day when that embarrasses him!


*He says the sweetest prayers and he won't start until everyone, including Bos is sitting still and folding their arms.



*Moms have eyes in the back of their heads right? Well Max always asks me, "how do you know that?" I say, "I know everything!." He has always believed me until one day he said in a sad, sad voice, "Well, you don't know where my Ds is...."

JaXsoN My quiet hilarious cuddle boy.

*He will be 5 soon but wishes he will be 6. He is always asking if he is bigger than this friend, or that friend, or Max. He loves preschool but cannot wait to be in kindergarten! I will be sad the day he goes.

*Jaxson loves to do anything with me. We are buds. He likes to read books, watch movies (Nacho and Madagascar are our favorites) build things with legos, color and do anything outside.

*He is a pro at riding his bike, he has had his training wheels off since October! He just upgraded to a bigger bike and is trying to get the hang of it. {just a quick side note} He was forced to upgrade because I ran over his favorite little bike. oops. At least it wasn't the fire hydrant this time. hehehehe. He looked pretty silly riding that 10"er anyways! It kinda looked like a circus bike when he was on it!

*He is just like his daddy. He is super laid back and very calm most of the time.

*He pulled his first two teeth out about a month ago and he is only four!

*He can memorize almost every line from any movie the first time he watches it. We quote movies all day long!

*He has a very tender heart and loves his brothers. He teaches Boston a lot of good things.

*He is very picky about what he wears everyday. He doesn't like shirts with sleebs (sleeves) or ones with collars.

*He is the biggest goofball and has us laughing all day at the things he says!

BoStoN my cute little stinker!

I am not sure where to even start with this little man. He has me on my toes all day and puts me through a million emotions everyday. I can have a crappy day and all he has to do is say momma, and give me a hug and everything gets better. He gives the best hugs and kisses. Or...I can wake up in the morning and think ~ today is going to be a great day! Then he wakes up and before I can get him out of his bed he is covered from head to toe in poo. I completely scrub him down, sanitize him and his entire bed. Take him downstairs to feed him breakfast, try to get Max ready for school, realize I need to practically give Bos a bath again after he eats, then take Max to school. Come home, Michael gets dropped off for me to watch, start to clean up the mess Boston has made on the floor, table and chair. Meanwhile I hear Bos and Mikey splashing in the toilet with a roll of toilet paper or playing in my makeup or dumping out toy basket after toy basket or pushing a chair over to get into drawers he is not supposed to or playing with my knife set. Serious. he is a maniac. Oh but I love him! The second I see his cute little face I can't help but squeeze him and kiss him all over. I am obsessed. he does each of these things at least once a day. That is all before lunch time. That is when it starts all over again. With the poo and everything, after his nap.

Even still, I can't get enough of him!




*He follows me around saying~ mom mom. I say what!? He says~mom mom even louder etc etc etc. Goes on all day.



*He loves to scare me with fake insects or rodents. He brings one up to me or throws it and says eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!



*He is talking really good. This week he finally started saying uh huh for yes instead of no, meaning yes. When I ask him any question; who wants to go bye-bye? Who loves mommy? Who wants lunch? Who wants to go outside? He throws both of his arms in the air and says mmmeeeeeeeeeee!



*I love watching him learn new things and figure things out for himself. He has so much enthusiasm for life.



*He climbs. On everything. He is a master at the stairs and can practically run down them. He stands on the couch and jumps flat out onto his stomach. It knocks the wind out of him but he does it again.



*HE IS A MAMMA'S BOY! The biggest one I have ever had. I love it.



*He has been sleeping in our bed the past few weeks. Before he goes to sleep he rolls all over Johns head and face and gives about a million kisses to both of us before he snuggles up next to me and is out. He has to sleep on his side, laying on my arm up against me all night. If I try to move my arm in the middle of the night he says NO, and makes me put it back. So we sleep like that all night.



*When he does something wrong he says sorry (with a little whistle on the s)


I am one lucky girl

John is 33!

Dec 31st is a great day to have a birthday! We started the day off by sleeping in which is something john never gets to do. He goes to work early every day and then gets up with the kids and lets me sleep in on Saturdays. We had 8am Church on Sundays but John had to be at 6:30 Bishopric meeting. Needless to say he was excited to sleep in. The boys and I planned on getting up early and making him breakfast in bed. That didn't happen. I don't think he cared to much since breakfast isn't his favorite meal anyway. We got up, got ready and headed to the San Tan Mall. We grabbed some lunch at Johnny Rockets and took the boys to see Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel! After the movie we did some B-day shopping for John. We had plans later to go to some friends house to celebrate New Years but decided to stay at home with the kids. We did some festive fire crackers with the neighbor kids a little early. We had the kids tucked in bed and sleeping by 10pm! We put a movie in and snuggled on the couch until midnight. It was a good day!

There are soooo many things I love about him, here are just a few:

John is an amazing man
He is a wonderful father, our boys really look up to him
He is the best listener
He is so calm, it takes a lot for him to get mad
He would do anything for our family
He works so hard and is good at anything he does
He teaches our children so much
He loves me

We are lucky he is ours!
