December All "Wrapped" Up Part One

We went to see the Pickleville Christmas show. It was very good as always and the kids had a great time. Kynlee loves to see the show and loves to see TJ even more.

I think we have a Pickleville performer on our hands

Kynlee thinks that Trevin needs soft cuddly animals to sleep just like she does. I was making my bed and came out to find Trevin all set up.

We told Kynlee she had to lay down and go to sleep she was so onery and this is how we found her. She has so much love for this little guy if we could power things with love she could provide enough for world.

Krayden wanted to sleep by the "baby" instead of in his bed. He is just faking it here but still too cute

Dad and Trevin dude


We got family pictures but I wanted some in front of our tree.

Me trying to be a photographer. What was I thinking?

Night Time, Random Thoughts, and Things I Love

My little guy has a sleeping schedule that makes it just right to spend some alone time with him and I wouldn't have it any other way. As of right now he is awake from about 10:00 pm to 1:00 am. I know it might seem crazy but he does sleep until 8:00 or a little later so it makes it nice. I get to be up with him and not have to worry about anything else but just holding and cuddling him. I should be working on other things like cleaning my house, doing laundry or getting stuff done that has been waiting around for me for ages but I just can't. I feel guilty not being able to hold him during the day when I am doing other activities with Kynlee and Krayden, I think really the only time I get to hold him is when he needs to eat so this is "our time" I love how it is so quiet and we both just look at the Christmas tree lights and nothing could be more perfect. He is starting to focus more now on a object and every once in awhile I can get him to smile. It's moments like these that make it worth every time I had to throw up, all the pain that I had with this pregnancy to be a mom. I couldn't ask for more of a greater calling.

It seems like he is growing up way to fast. He is almost out of 0-3 month clothes and is only 5 weeks. For some reason I want him to stay little a lot more than I did with Kynlee and Krayden. It seems with each kid it gets worse and worse. With Kynlee it was like I wanted her to grow up fast so I could see each stage and have fun with all the "newness" then with Krayden I new it would come so was not pushing it as much and with poor Trevin I wish I could stop time and he could be like this until I was ready for him to move on. The more I wish time would stand still the faster it moves forward. I love each of the stages that my children are in right now, we have so much fun. Kynlee and Kray play so well together (for the most part) the funny thing is Krayden beats up on Kynlee. Just the other day I hear Kynlee scream and then cry and walks in Krayden and says "I pulled nynlee's hair that's not nice huh mom?" first i laughed he knew exactly what I was going to say and then I put him in time out. But he is so tender with Trevin. He kisses him none stop I am always washing Trevin's head from all the sticky that Krayden leaves behind. It seems that Trevin always gets a kiss right after Krayden eats.

Things I love
I love when I feed Trevin and he holds my finger
I love how Kynlee and Krayden play together
I love the laughter my children bring in my home
I love my sweet husband/best friend/best dad
I love the way a new baby smells
I love Christmas time and the spirit it brings
I love my parents
I love my husbands parents
I love my siblings
I LOVE BEING A WIFE AND MOTHER

Just Counting all my blessings

I have so many things to be thankful for and this time of the year give me time to reflect on all the great blessings the Lord has blessed me with. I have a wonderful husband who does the dishes and the laundry, puts the kids to bed when I am super tired and feeding the baby, who thinks about me and the kids first before himself, who has hobbies that make him happy and he lets the kids help with them, who works really hard so that I am able to stay home with my children. I have three wonderful children who bring happiness, joy, laughter and the spirit into my home everyday. Kynlee is so tender, she is the best big sister any little brother could ask for. She cries when they cry, she hurts when they hurt and best of all she plays so well with Krayden. Right now she is reading him a book and now it sounds like they are going to go play babies. That is their new game, they both get binkies (I don't know if I should encourage that but it is so funny) and play that they are babies or some times kynlee is the mom and then they switch and Krayden becomes the "mom". We all have good health, a house to live in, cars to get us where we need to go, clothes to wear, food to eat and we are surrounded by people that care for us and those that we care for. We have family close to help us when we need it, we have family far that are willing to help us when we need it. Prayers have been answered and we are working on our food storage. I have the gospel in my life and the knowledge of the plan of salvation and the atonement. Parents who taught me the gospel and how to gain a testimony of my own. Even though they are now divorced I know that they still both love me, Jon and my kids and they would do anything for me. I am thankful the Lord gives me serveral chances to work on patience in a day. And now I can be thankful that Kynlee can put Krayden's diaper on and get them out of the tub. She just came in and said "we are all done and I dried off Krayden and put his diaper on." He just came in and it looks pretty good.

More of the "Little Guy"

****CAUTION LONG POST****

Where to begin? I was schduled to be started on Nov 12 and was supposed to call at 7:00 that morning....I wake up around 2:30 with "pains" I have had similar pains throughout the last part of my pregnancy so I thought nothing of them. I just laid in bed waiting for them go away. After ten minutes I fell back asleep until about 3:00 when the pain woke me up again but this time a lot stronger. I get up and walk around to see if that would help, nope, so I lay back down, that made it worse so I get up again. Jon is now awake since I can't hold still and I keep saying "oh my gosh this really hurts" it's now around 4:30 I keep telling myself just to hold on I am supposed to have this baby anyways today. After 20 more minutes of intense pain Jon calls Jeremy and he comes over to stay with the kids (Judy is schduled to arrive at 7:00 just in case that is my call in time) I didn't want to wake them up so I was trying my hardest to wait until Judy got there but the pain won. It was really weird with my other two kids the contractions would happen then they would ease up and I could catch my breath with this one the pain was constant and then would just get worse. We made it to the hospital in record time. They checked me in and got me all set up and I got my drugs and was able to rest for awhile. Once I had the medication it went pretty easy. I was able to labor by myself and was not givin any pit which was nice. At 1:02 that afternoon our "little guy" was born.

I loved how he was bathed right in my room

Krayden watching football. He would get mad if we changed the station.
That's my boy.

Cutest three kids on the block





Kynlee wanted to "sleep over"

All ready for the ride home

His bilirubuen was really high when we left the hosptial so we had to supplement with a bottle. She is the best big sister ever.

Krayden can't get enough of him. He hold him for about a minute and then is done but a minute later he wants to hold him again.

Trevin loves to sleep with the blanket and both hands on his face.

My Aunt Becky came from Houston to help me out. We couldn't have done it without her. At night she would bring him into me when he woke up. I would feed him and if he wanted to be awake for alittle while after that she would take him and let me go back to bed. I know I have the BEST aunt EVER.

Aunt "Baukey" and Krayden.

I bet Becky has never read so many children books in such a short amount of time. This is what the three of them did for the majority of the day.

Becky WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Witches aren't the only things that fly by... OCTOBER DOES TOO!!!

Krayden would have stayed on the tractor the whole time if we would have let him.

October was so much fun. We had a great time getting ready for Halloween and the baby. We went to the pumpkin patch with Hill and Jer, and Grandma and Grandpa to pick our pumpkins for Family Home Evening. It was great fun but oh so cold. Krayden tried to have fun but in the end was ready for the warm car. I really don't think the cold bothered Kynlee she was running around and having a blast.

We had a Halloween Party and Hill and Jer's. The costumes are displayed below. We had a fun time and love living so close to them.




Kynlee didn't care it was so cold. She just wanted her picuture taken. So cute.


It was just a litte cold or maybe you could call it FREEZING!!!



The whole lot of us.

Such a good dad. He helped the kids paint pumpkins and they turned out so CUTE



We made "Mr. and Mrs. Bones" for Family Home Evening. The kids loved them.

Kynlee wanted to be the princess and a mermaid. (When do they grow out of loving Princessess so much)

Krayden LOVES airplanes so we made him Pilot
