Hi Mommy!!
He's getting so big :(
Mommy and the kiddos...it was a fun afternoon...and the fresh air felt nice...even though it turned our noses red!!!
And this is the most recent picture I have of just us together...I guess I could've posted a family picture...but I didn't...this is us in August of 2009...I guess it works out then huh with the pictures!!!
We're celebrating our 8th anniversary today...and I really can't believe it. It's crazy to look back on the last 8 years and think of all we've done, gone through, gotten through together, and accomplished. Yes we're still working on school...no we don't have our own house yet...our family is still growing...and I would LOVE to have a higher income and not have to stress so much about money. But really...I couldn't be happier...Ryan is amazing and loves me more then anyone. He puts up with so much from me and I don't really know how or why he does it sometimes. He's given me 2 beautiful babies (and one on the way)...and I couldn't be happier. I want him to know how grateful I am for him, for all he's taught me, for his worthiness to take me to the temple, and for the chance we have to be together FOREVER. I couldn't ask for more!! I love you Babe!! :)
Daddy & Klous have always had a special bond and been "buddies" from day one...I love watching them together and seeing how much fun they have when they play!!! It started from the day he was born and has only gotten better!!!
On Klous' 1st birthday he was all about helping Daddy with decorations and the "party bags"...guess that's what you do for the FIRST birthday!! Then you realize how much work parties are!!! But here's my 2 boys on the day Klous turned ONE :)
Then there was last year...that was a crazy day too. Started out fine and normal...got Klous some fish and he helped Daddy put them in the tank and get it all set up. However, after that the day just went downhill...I woke up from a nap and had major issues that day. Numbness, migraines, funky talking, no sight in my right eye, and on and on. It was scary, and I tried my best to make the rest of the day fun for Klous. However, Mommy ended up in the ER that night and found out that it was just a severe migraine and NOT a stroke...thank goodness!! Here's to hoping this year is BETTER and nothing to worry about!!!
Klous was all excited this morning and even more smiles when he realized it really IS his birthday TODAY!! He's been waiting SOOOO long...and now it's finally here. Here are my boys again...on his 3rd birthday!! I can't even say how much I love this kid and how grateful I am that he's in our family. He's such a good helper and so fun to have around. Yes we have our bad days...but when the smiles, hugs, kisses, and "I love you's" come...that really out-does the bad days!!!
Mommy LOVES YOU kiddo!! Happy birthday!!!
So you all know my sweet baby girl Aysha May...why when a bad night comes...does EVERYTHING have to come that night!?!?! She's been struggling with her teeth coming in on the bottom for MONTHS now...and one finally poked through, while the other is being a pain. So we had that last night...then she couldn't lay still or sleep because her tummy was so upset and not feeling good. She's stretch out her legs...squirm and wiggle like crazy...and just whine and cry :( It was so sad and yet SO annoying, because I was tired...she was up from 11-5 off and on...and it made me not so excited about another newborn. Why oh Why do all the bad days have to come together!?!?!? Let's hope and pray for a good diaper today ;) AND a GREAT naptime!!! I want my happy, smilely little girl back!! Please :)
Then just this last week I saw the SAME layout of the picture, so had to grab the camera again!! I'm really lucky to have what I have and don't always appreciate what I do have. Especially lately...so I had to post these and say THANK YOU to my amazing hubby. He really does put up with a LOT from me...especially the last 5 months...and he loves me no less. He takes the kids when I've had too much...he gives me a hug even when I'm a NOT NICE PERSON...and he is just great. So thank you Ryan for loving me and standing by me even in our tough times. And thank you for the beautiful babies you have given me too!! I love you!!
Then this weekend Auntie Jessica (Ryan's sister) got married. It was a nice day, but the kids had been sick all week long and Ryan/I didn't feel great much either. But we did the best we could and enjoyed it as much as we could!! The kids were actually great and as well-behaved as can be expected for being in a church all day long!! It was a great ceremony/luncheon/party...bride/groom were BEAUTIFUL...and we all had a good time!! Here are just a couple pictures from the morning...because the photographers got all the other GOOD pictures!!!
Our family...aren't the kids looking SO happy :)
Klous, Aysha, & Zack with Michael & Jessica!!! Happy Marriage to them...they looked so happy all day!! It was cute!!
A better close up shot!!
Klous & Zack helped carry her train...it was cute...can't really tell what the picture is, but that's what they're doing :)
And the boy cousins...they were buds all day...until they had ENOUGH of each other...that wasn't til night time though!! Luckily!!!
And lastly...I probably over-did it at the wedding and all weekend...because now I'm sick and I've been in pain all weekend. But I had Ryan take some prego pics finally!! So people will stop asking!! 27 weeks and still going!! Forgot to do the glucose test yesterday...so I'll have to do it this week...but we're surviving!! Baby moves like CRAZY!!! No positive names yet...just trying to think of some cute ones!! I like Kyson, but I don't know how much Ryan likes it!?!?! Klous is still convinced on Baseball Guy...or now Football guy (since it's football season)...so we'll see ;)
We're just taking it a day at a time and can't really believe Christmas will be here so soon. In the next few months we've got Klous' birthday...our Anniversary...Aysha's birthday...Thanksgiving...baby coming...and then Christmas...so it'll be a quick end of the year I think!! I'll try to do better at posting prego pics though!!!
And here he is last week eating the Halloween ones THIS year!! I was so excited to see them at Wal-Mart and had to get a pack!! I'm pretty sure Klous is STILL a fan!!!
Well I couldn't let him have some and NOT Aysha...so we had to see if she liked them too...I'll let you be the judge and see what you think...personally I think she liked them...and she'll probably eat them again!!! Yep...must run in the family, because me and my kiddos LOVE the holiday Oreo's!!!
Isn't she adorable!! How can you not love her little face...so cute!!!
Yep...they're a hit for her too...YAY for the Halloween ones...before we know it the Christmas ones will be out and we'll try those too!! Baby #3 will get to try next year too!!! Yay for holiday oreo's...don't they look delicious...I know these pictures make you all want to go out and get some!!! They're FUN!!! :) :) :)
Klous showing off for Ramma Judy & Papa Bob!!! :) YUM :) :) :)
Kisses for you guys too!!!
Aysha has discovered juice in sippy cups too...she seems to love them!! For some reason though, Klous' cups are much more exciting and taste better then her own!!!
My juice drinking babies!!!
We had a couple weekend in August when it actually got a little "chilly"...which here means like 70 degrees maybe!?!?! But it was cold for Aysha and I had to pull out the next tote and warmer clothes for her...made me excited about the NEXT season!! Bring on the cooler temps PLEASE!!!!
Aysha had her first AND second black eye all within a couple weeks...this is her first...she likes to play with all Klous' toys and doesn't realize they take a little more work and practice to actually use...so when you push on one side of a tool bench thing...the other side WILL come up and hit your face :( Poor girl...it was a nice little bruise for a few days!!!
I didn't get pictures of her 2nd black eye...but that was from face planting on the bottom of one of Klous' cars too...guess boy toys are WAY more fun then girl stuff!!! Who knows...she's a tough cookie!!
Klous even pet the horsies!!!
AND rode a pony all by himself...Daddy just walked by him, but he was pretty proud of himself for doing it all on his own!!!
Look how big he's getting!!!
Klous has also been bugging us to ride in the go-karts at the local mini-golf place...so a couple weekends ago, we went with Zack & Shauna to ride the go-karts and play golf!! Aysha & I just watched...but Daddy, Klous, Shauna, & Zack had a great time going round and round!!!
They kept racing and being the leaders...then Shauna would pass them...for awhile there, Klous & Zack looked a little sick from going in circles for 5 minutes straight!!!
But they were all smiles each time they came by us!!!
Then it was time to get off :( Luckily it was long enough to please the boys!!!
Aysha is now 9+ months as well...she has discovered new talents this last month...crawling, pulling herself up, and standing while holding onto something!! She thinks she's pretty cool, and HAS to roam around the yard when we're outside. STRONG immune system with all the dirt, sticks, ants, grass, and whatever else is out there going in her mouth!!!
Really I think she was trying to get his juice :) :) :)
And she's off...
Exploring every room in the house to see where we are and what we're doing...it's nice to have her follow us around instead of being stuck and crying all the time!!!
And finally...I've been having fun with her FINALLY having some hair!!! She's been able to have the pony on the top...but on Monday I tried PIGGIES...look how cute she is!!! Ryan says she looks like BOO from Monsters Inc...I just think she's adorable!!!
My baby girl is getting so so big!! I just can't get enough of those eyes, smiles, adorable faces, and giggles...TOO CUTE!!!
That's our update...hope you enjoyed the pictures...sorry...still no prego pics or anything...guess I'll have to work on that...I'm almost 25 weeks and just growing!! Baby boy moves like CRAZY and Klous loves feeling him and checking to make sure he's still in there!! It's getting more and more exciting...but stressful too, cuz 3 kids is a LOT to deal with I think!!! Yikes :)
