Terrible Twos, Bring It On!

Yeah I'll telling ya what man, having a 2 yr old in the house is awesome! This little guy is crazy! But at least he's so stinkin cute that it makes it all ok:)
Loving this age...

No justice to this picture! What a shiner! Sunday morning she had a big bang with the toy chest (common to hear a bang and "wwaaahhh") This is a good one. Please don't take our children away!

She loves to climb stairs! She is our monkey!

This kid is making me laugh lately. Of course he's obsessed with Toy Story, but this day he insisted on his boots (which are a fav at the moment) and pranced around for a while in just a diaper and "Anny" aka Andy (on the bottom of the boot)

Love those cheekies sissy!

New fav word: "Buzz, buzz, buzz...."

Love them both!

I had to get a pic! I had the two babies laying down and feeding them real quick, so Linc grabbed his milk and layed right down with them all on his own. So cute.

Mike is on a job that should just be overnight, so I have some time to write just a bit. Mike and I went to Wendover just a couple weeks ago. What a blast! It was so wonderful to get to spend some time with just me and my sweetie for a weekend. Friday at lunch we were on the phone and both at work and were just kind of joking about going to Wendover (like 5 hours away!) for the night and then all the sudden, we were doing it! We got off work bout 4 and were packed and on the road. We dropped the little ones off at Grandma's (thanks thanks thanks!!!) and made it by 11ish. We ended up staying 2 nights. Mike said, "We can do whatever you want to do, anything you want..." Anything?? So I took a long wonderful nap and read my Nic Sparks! What a minivaca!! We are so grateful to Mom and Dad for making it happen, thanks so much!

Last weekend was fun too. I'll tellin ya what, I swear our kids are sick all the time! Quoi had a high fever a couple weeks ago, and then again last week. I took her in to the Dr once it hit 103.5 (with tylenol) and they did a urine culture via catheter. Not fun for little girl! She screamed, I held her down, Linc screamed because I was holding her down and she was screaming. So fun! (I'm getting a babysitter next time I need to take her in!!) Anyways, the next night Linc got a fever up to 104.4. I figured it was viral but they called Monday and said yes she has a UTI, so I don't know what Linc had but oh well. Anways, boring but that's whats goin on with us!
Oh and Da da da da.... Anna is getting married!! June 25th. How exciting! And we really like Corey so we are just thrilled. He talks just as much as Mike does:) aka, hardly. But we still love ya! So Anna in June and Tenille in August. Fun Summer!



This is awesome and this video just doesn't do it justice. I came home from work tonight and Quoi was crawling around like Mogli on JB; crawling on her hands and feet. What a goon! I really wanted you to see Mikey! I'll try to get a better one later.

Happy Easter Conference!

Its so nice to have all the babies sleeping all at once so I can sit down and write a bit (watching Nara too). We have had a fun couple of weeks! The weekend before last Mike was planning on leaving for a job, so me and the kids packed up and spent a day and a half at Gma & Gpa Phister's. It was fun to see everyone and get to play. We got to see Koban and play with him a bit. He is such a cutie and getting so big! And speaking of Koban, I'm so excited Tenille and Jon are getting married in August!! Yeah! We also got to go on a walk Sunday afternoon before we left. That was pretty nice to get out with everyone and be together. Linc loved the ducks! Of course as we were leaving to come back home, Mike was just leaving for his job. Bummer! But at least it was fun to hang out with the fam.


So right after I was getting Sequoia into her carseat so we could go to the Dr, I walked into the kitchen and see rice all over. I didn't have time to clean it up so we left. We pulled in the driveway, I took a sleeping baby out of her carseat and upstairs. I walk back downstairs and see this...

...a whole box of Cocoa Puffs dumped out all over. Lincoln!!!

I took Quoi to the Dr for her 9 month check up. She is one tiny little girl:)
Weight: 16lb 10oz (5%)
Height: 26in (10%)
Head:17in
She is doing great! Although this past week she spiked a fever for about 3 days, it got up to 103.5. She had no other symptoms, so teething??? The joys of the baby world!! She did get a weird rash after the fever went away. Weird. Oh well, what do ya do!? But anyways, the kids are doing great! It is so fun to hear new words come out of Lincoln's mouth! Good job buddy!

Quoia, Linc and Xander, a cute little one I've been watching a bit lately. Linc is actually super good with "babies" in the house. It makes me happy!

So yes I've had my camera forever but I'm just learning some new features it has. My fried had a cute pic of her kids in black and white with one color in it. I loved it and wished mine could do it to. Well, after going home and playing with it, lo and behold! It does. So be prepared for lots more!


Quoia just eating some yummy food being a good girl.

For Easter Annie and Morgan made it over and we got to spend some time with them and the boys. We had fun eating yummy home-made Cafe Rio style food all day long, pizza, and lots of junk food! We listened to as much of General Conference as we could with kiddos running all over the place. My favorite part of the whole weekend was Mikey and Morgan put up a fence on the side of the house to close it off, yah!!! (I have big plans for the yard this summer, lets just hope we get to them!) I was so happy! Thank you boys. It was nice to sit and chat with Annie and just relax. Although I was on-call all weekend and had to go in twice, but besides that, it was a great weekend. And I just love conference! It makes me so happy and so motivated to go out and be NICE, esp to the little ones. Good times:)

The boys having a blast with their Easter Egg Hunt.


Cute little Damon

Lincoln with his beloved Easter eggs. Seriously this boy plays with them year round.

Mike should be leaving on a job tomorrow or Friday, we'll miss him! But it seriously has been so much fun to have him around. I don't know what I'd do with my Monopoly Deal partner:) We are starting to have a semi-normal life now. And as soon as they hire the students at work, I get to officially go down to one day a week, I super excited!

Mommy and Quoi had some fun while the others slept...

Mommy and Quoi time

Can't flip it, arg!

She is starting to love her binky more and more. I love binky babies!!


This is why she never has bows in any pictures of her!
