My CrAzY boyz

So... Andy started school last week. He is my HERO! He is working 55 hours a week and is taking 12 credits! Its a little crazy but he is doing so well juggling it all and trying to spend time with me and the boys. We just keep telling ourselves that it will be worth it in the end! Kyler likes to study with this daddy... so here they are doing homework together! (so... the only calculator we had in our house is a cell phone... no he isn't texting, he really is doing his math homework!)The boys are starting to play together a little... or should I say Kyler is playing and Aiden is laughing at him! Ky wants to be small again and Aiden wants to be big! Ky trying to climb into the jumper... WITH AIDEN!! I got this picture last night of Aiden sleeping! So we've had an interesting week... Monday I took Aiden into the doctor since he DID NOT sleep the night before and had started coughing ALOT! Here is the results: YEP we have to do breathing treatments three times a day. He does pretty good with it, but it gets a little hard to keep him entertained for the 20 minutes that it takes! And Kyler has been going crossed eyed so we had to take him to the ophthalmologist and found that he is crossing his eyes but we caught it early enough so he doesn't have to wear glasses, but we have to patch his eye.... Yesterday was the first day and we bribed him with Ice Cream but today... he found a way.... we patched puppy too. Puppy is my third child. I have to tuck him in, kiss him goodnight and he has to have his PJs on. He has to go potty too and takes naps. Its so funny to watch kyler with his puppy!

A couple family pics!

My friend Alex came to stay with us a couple weeks ago and while they were here, she shot a couple family pictures... which we are in NEED of! I was wanting to wait until it was a little nicer outside, but we decided what the heck! It was REALLY windy and FREEZING... but I think they turned out quite nicely!! So What do you think??

Spring/Summer is HERE!! Finally

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go to the park with our cousins today! It was WARM... almost hot :) We had lots of fun! Here are a couple pictures :) Tymika, Kyler & Kiaya on the swings! Payton is in Kristine's arms, KayLoni taking Tymika's picture Tymika

Easter

I know I'm like a month late... but my camera was lost until last week!!! So here it is!Kyler finding what the Easter bunny brought himAiden finding his pile too!!

After we all got ready we went to my parents house for breakfast, an easter egg hunt and Conference!

Between sessions we went to Andy's brother's house for lunch and another easter egg hunt.

All the little kids got to go firstAnd then the bigger kidsMaking sure everyone got the same amount of eggs!All the hunters.

There was one golden egg with a five dollar bill! AWESOME JOB ZACK!

It was a good day!!!

Time away!!

For the first time in a year and a half we got to get away for a couple days... kid free!! The last time was on our second Anniversary!! Sysco paid for us to go to Boise, stay in a nice hotel, paid for dinner & sent us to a hockey game on Tuesday. It was so much fun!! The company had a suite they let us use at the game... I've never seen this setup ever... but the hockey arena was inside the Grove hotel. To get to our seats we had to go inside the hotel and up to the third floor, it looks like you are walking into a hotel room, but the sliding doors of the room go out to the game with seats out there... or you can sit inside the room and watch the game on TV. It was so fun!! We'd never been to a hockey game before! On wednesday Andy and his brother dan had to go to a meeting with sysco to try some new items or something. Anyway we had lots of fun!! I missed my kiddos but was much needed!! Thanks honey for the fun trip!!

Aaaaannnnndddd he's OFF!!!

Aiden is 7 months old! I can't believe it.... and he's CRAWLING! I'm not quite ready for him to be mobile... but i guess he's not going to wait for me to be ready!! So here are some stats on Aiden at 7 months* at his last appointment he was 27 inches and 17.5 lbs! (I think, I'll have to double check) He had gained 5lbs in TWO months!
* He LOVES his food. We started rice cereal at 4 months, fruits and veggi's at 5 months. Now he HATES baby food and wants the real stuff!! So he is now eating whole foods. Little pieces of whatever we are eating.
* He loves strawberries, bananas, peaches, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, bread of any kind, chicken, tacos (hehe) rice, macaroni and cheese, string cheese, yogurt, basically I haven't found anything he doesn't like! :)
* He loves taking baths and splashing water EVERYWHERE!
* He is a mama's boy!
* He is a VERY happy baby.
* He loves his sleep and sleeps better than Kyler most days 7-7:30 ususally!! LOVE IT!!
* He loves to play with his brother and his daddy!!He has gotten a little chunky!Apparently these thighs look like mine did. Its a running joke now! calling him thunder thighs like they did me! JUST MEAN!
I love baby toes and fingers :) He always crosses his toes. Its so cute!

My experience with 5 children for 4 days!! WOW!

Andy's brother and sister in law asked us to babysit for a few days while they went to SLC for their 10th Anniversary, they have three girls Kendall (7), Venice (5) & Cosette (2). So from Thursday to Sunday we stayed at their house with their kids. So Friday morning I had to make breakfast for 7 people, quiz Kendall on her spelling, she had a test that day, get three little girls hair done and get Kendall to school by 8:20, and get Andrew and I to a dentist appointment at 9 (my in laws came to sit with all the kids). To my AMAZEMENT I was able to accomplish all that! Seriously I thought it would be impossible (I did have to get up at 6:30 to get it done) I was very proud! We needed a few things from the store, so we loaded all of us up on Friday night and went to Walmart.... we got some FUNNY looks from people!! The girls had a ball playing the Wii with Andy... constantly begging him to play with them, I don't think he minded too much lol!!! In the end... my only thought was wow, maybe this is possible, but now that I think about it more clearly its only a miracle that I survived! lol! It helped A LOT having a 7 year old there to help :) And Kyler had a blast playing with Cosette (they are only 3 weeks apart)This is our Island park trip #2 Playing Guitar Hero
Here is Aiden rocking out! ;) He LOVES this guitar!
