Mylee turned 1!!!

Well today my little Doll Mylee turns 1. It seems like yesterday that I had Mylee. She is just to tiny for me to believe that she is actually 1. Last time we weighed her she was 15lbs, she will be weighed tomorrow so I will have the most accurate weight then. Mylee is such a joy to have in our life. She makes us laugh and makes us so happy. She truly has completed our little family.
She is starting to stand on her own. She loves to push around strollers and walk. We taught her to sing Happy Birthday and her version of it is just so cute. She will be walking before we know it. Its kind of sad that my little peanut is one, but they all have to grow up, and she just cant wait to be big like the rest of them! ):


Look at those lips!  I could kiss them all day!  Right after Mylee was born she was my healthiest premie ever.  She was so tiny I thought I would break her, but she is just so strong!

Going home, she was my first baby that I ever got to take home from the hospital with me!  It was pretty exciting for me.

Such a tiny munchkin in her car seat!
Mylee's sick period (and my crazy period)

Happy little honey


She loves her grandpa


I am so in love with this little girl, she could not get any sweeter.

Camping

At the end of Spring break we decided to go camping. We camped somewhere in Payson, just an overnighter, the kids had so much fun. Well at least the healthy ones did.

This is what Mylee did the whole way up.  I think her ears where popping and hurting her.

All the kids were sick of miss Mylee and here tears!


Hiding under the blanket

We were getting ready to go on a little hike with the kids.


Exploring

My handsome little man

She got to heavy for me to carry her.  She is not happy about being in the backpack, first I dropped her on her face, and then she got smacked in the face by a tree branch, not happy.



Aiden has so much fun throwing rocks into the stream, you had to watch out for him because he was just throwing and not paying attention to who was in the way.

So very tired after the hike (:


This was the kids slide, they had so much fun sliding down and getting dirty.  Emma asked me if she could sit on my lap and slide down.  no thanks!


Believe it or not this is a clean face!


Poor Kael didn't feel very well after the hike and slept for a few hours.  I felt so bad for my little guy.


Mylee trying to find something yummy to eat in the dirt.


We had such a fun time.  We will have to go back soon!!

Emma is just too much!

I went in to make Emma's bed and this is what I found under her pillow...


I just love this little pack rat!!  She makes me laugh everyday!!!

Look who's a big boy now

Aiden will be 2 next month so I thought it was time for him to move onto the big boy bed, plus I want to take the crib out of the boys room. He was so excited about it, we bought him his own pillow and talked about his big boy bed all day. He went right to sleep. He loves being a big boy, and he hasn't gotten out of it yet. Knock on wood. (: Now to get rid of the binky!!







I am in love with this little boy.  He is so much fun and is learning so many new words.  His favorite word right now is mine, everything is his, even if it is my soda, he thinks its his!  (:  

Children's Museum

Some days I feel like a sheriff or a referee, or a judge, or just generally the mean mom.  Stop that, be quiet, stop hitting your sister, stop pinching your brother, just eat, are you listening to me?  Fold your arms, be reverent, whisper,  just calm down, Emma, Emma, EMMA!!!!  AHH  sometimes I feel like I am always yelling and they are just trying to tip toe around there very mean, obsessive compulsive mother.  I am so anal about there rooms being clean the house just being picked up in general that I think the kids get a little stressed out.  So Kael and I were watching the news and they were talking about the children's museum and Kael said "mom can we go there?"  I said yes Kael we can.  So Friday night we picked daddy up from work and went and just let the kids run wild and have fun, be crazy, make messes, and just be a kid.  I am so glad we did the kids had such a fun time and were exhausted on the way home.








Thats Aiden in there


The noodle forest scared Mylee (:











That is Emma's house she built





Having so much fun





When you first walk in they have these huge tunnels for the kids to play in I could only find Aiden quick enough to take a picture the other kids ere having way to much fun

2 weekends ago a really good friend and her girls from Glendora came out to visit.  What did we do while they were here??  Shopped of course that is what you do when Diona is here!  We had such a fun time even though I had all 4 of my kids Kael was sick with the flu and they were just generally grouchy we still manage to score some cute clothes.

Mom and Diona

        I wasn't supposed to be in the picture


Love her, miss her ):


This is one of the dresses we bought for Mylee such a deal clearance for $7 it is my       new favorite dress, she just looks to cute in it!!!

Kael lost his first tooth!!!

Another weepy moment for this mommy.  I remember when Kael got his first tooth.  It was awful he was so grouchy and fussy till it finally came in I just remember Josh pacing back in forth of our first apartment with him to calm him down.  And now my giant 6 year old has lost his first tooth.  I am such a big baby!!  I cry when he hits any of the major milestones this is a big one.  Just another example to me that my tiny premie baby is no longer a helpless premie.  ):  This tooth has been loose for awhile Kael has just wiggled it little by little.  Well last night at Nanas house he came downstairs to show us his tooth!!  In his hands!!  He did it all by himself!  No one else yanking it around or anything, he was so proud of himself and he could not wait for the tooth fairy to come last night.  He was so worried that she didn't know he lost his tooth or where he lived.  That is my Kael such a worrier.   But she came there was glitter on his pillow as proof, not to mention the money under his pillow!  Kael is just getting so big I cant get over it!!  ):







Poor Kael he has the flu thats why his eyes are so droopy





We woke him up early for church he is not quite awake yet, but very excited!!  He remembered to take out his 50 cents for tithing.  Such a good boy.

Elders Quorum Game night

We had a fun Elders Quorum game night last Friday.  We weren't in charge of it but because the President and wife were out of town and the guy that was in charge of the activities wasn't going to be there we ended up being in charge of it.  If my name was going to be attached I wanted it to be fun!  So when everyone got there we had put super hero names on their back and they had to guess who they were.  Then we played a giant game of catch phrase boys against the girls.  It was HILARIOUS!!!  You are not supposed to use gestures but really sometimes you have to use a gesture so they knew what you were talking about.  I think the boys ended up winning, who knows they probably cheated!!  (:  Then we played the celestial marriage newlywed game.  Josh and I lost big time, he didn't know my favorite store and I couldn't remember where our first kiss was!!  It has almost been 9 years my memory is fading!  Remarkably there were allot of couples that were right on the money they knew their spouse inside and out.  It was a pretty funny game.  I loved when it was the mens turn at answering a question because they had the funniest answers.  Such a fun night.  I am ready to get a babysitter and do it again!!
