Our House...again

Over the next several months we'll be posting a ton of pic's of our house. Here's just a few more. The framing, rough electrical, rough plumbing, and rough HVAC are all done. Next week comes insulation and then the next week is drywall. Can't wait!

Also included are pic's that are proof that we have actually been to the park this year:)

This post ends with a little eye candy coming at you from West Valley courtesy of my husband. Sorry if he's your brother, or your boyfriend:), but the pic is just too good to go unposted. Man or woman? I'm betting on man, but you never know...

We're On Our Way!

Here are some pic's of our house as of today. Tomorrow, they're putting on the trusses so it will change again (I'll post pic's again when the framing is done next week). We're finally on our way to having our own house again. Hooray!

We Love You Tim!

Friday night Ryan and I went with some of our friends to Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw at Usana. It was seriously so much fun! I think we annoyed the peeps around us by how hyper we were. We danced and sung the night away! Ry and I kept laughing at the thought of what our kids would think if they saw us...guess we're not that old yet:0). It was also a prime people watching spot...we found some keepers;). Also all of the drunks were entertaining, especially the guy in front of us who couldn't even stand up straight and did some accidental flips through the crowd!

Thanks Katie for the pic's! Ry and I did some "special" dancing! We entertain ourselves at least! In another pic, the boys decided to tag team Tim, since he wasn't so much for the dancing scene. Love Ryan's face!

Lately

Isn't this the cutest smile you've EVER seen?!! I LOVE it! I see it all the time now, usually directed my way:). This is great for me since both of my other kids are Daddy's boys, so I'll take what I can get! Krew is getting so big. Here are some pic's of him today at my parents' house. Here is our newest and craziest piece of news: Krew is teething! Seriously, I had no idea this could happen at two months, but he has a tooth trying to come through. Not looking forward to this since I'm nursing;). Krew constantly coo's and grins, oh yeah, and cries. That's about all he does besides eat and sleep.

Above is a picture of Krew and my mom. She informed us today Krew looks just like her as a baby. I see Ryan's dad Jon. Hmmm...we'll have to see.

Here is a pic of Krew with my mother-in-law Nancy at the 24th parade in Bountiful last night. He loves his grandmas!
My dad got the boys a 4-wheeler, and Jax spent some time test driving it around the yard. Jordyn's going to LOVE me for this picture;)



Below is Beckham while Jax rode the 4-wheeler. He is my chicken:0).

My little brother Jace turned 22 on July 16th. He really wants me to start setting him up with some ladies, so if any of you know of any cute girls let me know!

A pic of Ry and me relaxing at my parent's cabin in the coolest chairs ever!

We also went to Evanston for the 4th of July, since Riverdale's celebration was on the 3rd. It was awesome! I couldn't believe how many fireworks people up there light. We had ash hitting our car randomly while driving through the city. The whole town looked like a war zone! We spent the night at my parents' cabin.
Awesome story: When we were trying to get out of the parking lot, we saw a guy's car on fire. A firework had flown into his trunk and started a fire. He ran over to pull stuff out, and as he was pulling stuff out, his pants fell down. Coolest part was that apparently he didn't believe in underwear, and he apparently couldn't stop to pull up his pants. He showed the world his bum for quite a while. I'm just glad we weren't on the other side of him!

Here are the boys on the 3rd at Old Glory Days in Riverdale. These are all I took that day. I kept forgetting to bust out the camera!

Here was Krew at one month. It's been a while since I posted a pic of him, so here's one I missed:0).

We are finally breaking ground on our lot on Tuesday, hoping to be in by Christmas. Hooray!

I wrote this on facebook, but it's so cute I'll post it here too. Last night Jax's wish upon a star was this: "I wish that I could have lots of new toys every day, and I wish Mom could work at the dollar store." This wish better never come true! He used to tell me he wished we could live there!

Good Times...

Today is one of those days where I am barely refraining from PULLING MY HAIR OUT. Most of the day has been spent listening to at least two kids crying at a time, sometimes three. Jax is at an age where he thinks it's really fun to make fun of everyone and say stuff to me like, "Duh" and "Are you deaf?!?" Good times...

Krew is getting better at the needy thing, but still cries a ton. He's actually crying as I'm writing this, but being the good mommy I am, I am acting like I can't hear:). Jax is crying too because Ryan won't turn on his shows. Krew refuses to take a bottle or a binky and I am seriously open to suggestions on how to remedy this bottle thing. Btw, Ry is now telling me Krew is hungry, when he just ate a half hour ago. How come every time a baby cries the dad gives the baby to the mom and claims he's hungry. What about the fact that he could just be bored?!!! (there's my rant:)). Good times...

Beckham, who is usually my hard one, is actually my best one right now. He's always telling me, "Yub ooh Mommy" (love you Mommy). It reminds me this parenting this is really worth it:). Today, he was sitting in the back of the car talking to himself, and I overheard him count to 15, without missing a number. Holy cow, the kid just turned 2 the end of May! Then when we got home I started feeding Krew. Beckham sat next to me and pulled up his shirt and said, "Kew eat." I told him no, that only Mommy could feed Krew. He then pointed to himself and said, "Mommy eat." Yeah, I had to tell him Mommy couldn't eat from him either;). He then said, "Me eat," and bent his down and started saying, "Num-num-num-num." It made me laugh, on a day when laughs were few and far between. Good times, really...

Jordyn's Engagements

Lot's of pictures here...but I couldn't pick just one. My little sister, Jordyn, is getting married September 16. Her fiance is working in Alaska for the summer, and came home over the Fourth to visit and they had their engagements done. How cute did these turn out?!! They are so happy and so in love, and I am happy for her. I am her maid of honor, so this gives me 2 months to get the last 15 lbs off! Better get crackin'! Anywho, these two are so cute together. They are pretty much the same person, just a male and female version. Very laid back, go with the flow, and always fun to be around. Congrats you two!~

P.S. - We're doing pretty well too. I have to say, adjusting to three kids has been heck. It is a lot harder than I thought, and I thought it would be hard! I think it would help if Krew thought sleeping was worthwhile. Apparently since he doesn't like it, unless it involves a swing, he doesn't think I should be a fan either. He is so cute, though, that he's forgiven. He smiles at me all the time and tries to talk tons. We kept wondering who he would look like, and for a while it was Beckham, then it turned to Jax. Now, he's his own little man. He's keeping his brown hair, and his eyes are going either brown or hazel. Definitely different for us!

Good news though: Our lot is FINALLY done! We are so excited. We applied for our building permit today, so we should be underway shortly!

Jaxon is still making me laugh also. I walked in on him staring in the mirror today chanting, "Baby teeth, come out! Baby teeth, come out!" Guess he wants a visit from the tooth fairy:). Also, he is my health nut. Whenever I exercise, he does it with me. He also does crunches and push-ups like a champ. Yesterday, he planned a picnic for Beckham, me, and him. He called it a "healthy picnic" and the only things sitting out on the blanket were: carrots, strawberries, apples, and a Diet Mountain Dew for me. He knows the way to my heart:). Every time Ryan or I eat something we shouldn't, he says, "That's not healthy. That won't help you grow." Maybe I should listen a little more and my weight loss will improve;).

Beckham Turns 2!!!

May 27 my big boy turned 2! Jax had a T-Ball game, so we celebrated Becks' birthday Friday night. Beckham's favorite show in the world is Yo Gabba Gabba (or Gabba as he calls it), so he got a Gabba cake. He was shy when everyone was singing to him, so he held on to my leg. LOVE HIM!


The best part of Beckham's cake, as you can see on the left, is that Walmart wrote "Happy birthday Deckham." Seriously Walmart? How hard is Beckham! I guess it's something to laugh about!



This is Beckham's face whenever he eats. He is the messiest kid I know. My mother-in-law has nicknamed him "Pig pen" like on Charlie Brown, because the kid is never clean. I clean his face a million times a day, and I turn around and he's dirty again. Half the time I can't figure out what he got on himself because he hasn't even eaten anything!




Beckham loved all of the toys everyone gave him. Thank you so much family!





Jax took this picture of the other boys and me. Not a half bad pic for a four-year-old!

About Beckham:

*Like I said, the kid is never clean. I love it 'cause it's just part of what makes him who he is.

*Beckham loves mischief. He is my biggest trouble maker by far.

*Beckham LOVES to eat. Rarely do you see him at home not carrying around a bag of something. His favorite is fruit, but he LOVES junk food. He hates all veggies but carrots. If it's green, he won't even try it.

*He knows most of his colors.

*He can count 1-5, then skips and starts 10-13. So cute:)

*He has the cutest lisp. Fam members always ask him to say words with "s" in it because it's adorable. He also can't say "K" sounds in the middle of a word. He can say "Kew" (Krew), but pocket comes out "potsie." Even cuter with the lisp! Almost everything he says ends in an "ie" sound. It gets confusing for people who don't hear him talk all day:).

*Everything he asks for, he asks for in two's. ie: If he asks for cheese, or you ask him if he wants some, he yells, "Two cheese!" If you agree, then a lot of times he'll up the amount to 3 or 4.

*He loves guns. They are by far his favorite toy.

*Beckham loves his brothers. He especially looks up to Jax and wants to do anything and everything Jax does. Luckily, Jax is a good sport and lets him tag along:).

*Beckham has the sweetest smile; it always melts my heart!
