#4 is #2

We have many, many birthday's in the months of August and September in our house.  L had a birthday yesterday and turned the big 2!  I can't believe that he's already 2, time really flew.  I wanted to post a video but Blogger won't let me so enjoy some pics of his big day.




What can I say about L?

He is a very active and curious 2 year old.  When we go someplace he spends the first few minutes checking everything out.  Sometimes this is very annoying, especially if you are at someones house and he wants to dig through all their cupboards and drawers!  L loves, loves, loves playing outside.  He would be outside 24/7 if I'd let him.  He also loves playing with his Thomas the Train.  We got a whole set when C was little and he didn't show much interest in it, so luckily we kept it all and L is having a blast with them.  He has been a good sleeper since day 1 and I am so glad about that.  It makes his day time mischief a lot easier to deal with.  Overall L is a great little guy.  He's always smiling, and happy, even when he's getting into trouble.  We are so happy to have him in our family.

Some things L can do now:


  1. Climb ANYTHING!
  2. Says a lot of words and even told someone at SF the other day that was holding CH to, "Give my CH BACK!"
  3. He's peed and pooped in the potty but is not very consistent yet!
  4. He can get himself mostly dressed, and can undress even quicker.
  5. He is very helpful and loves to get things for CH, thank goodness.
  6. He can say umbrella!  It's my favorite word he says and I cannot get him to say it on camera.
  7. He loves to help me cook.  
  8. He is very good for babysitters which is also a blessing, as Chris and I can enjoy date nights.
  9. He is very stingy with hugs and kisses but when he gives them they are treasured!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
