October 26th 2010 Trunk or treat

TRICK OR TREAT

We went to Nana and Papa's ward to trunk or treat. Teagan was trying to eat all the candy with the wrappers on. He will put anything into his mouth. He was dressed like a pumpkin from head to toe. He is sooo cute!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LONDON! London I love you so much and I appreciate how you make me smile. You will always be my little girl no matter how big you get. I cant beleive you are 2! I remember when you were born. I went to the hospital one week before you were born because my water broke. They kept me in the hospital afriad of infections. Then late one night you decided you were ready to come (10 weeks early might I add). You did not want to wait to meet mommy. It was really hard for me because once I gave birth to you the nurses rushed you away and put you in an incubator with a ventalater to keep you alive. I was not allowed to see you for 12 hours because I was loosing a lot of blood and was really light headed. I was struggling emotionally because I felt like I was loosing my baby girl. I visited you as much as possible after they let me see you. I would snuggle with you on my chest for hours. You were so small and precious. You have always been mommas girl and I hope you always will be. Happy Birthday and I love you!!!

Disneyland!!!

I took a brake to go to Disneyland with the family!! It was me, Derek, London, Teagan, Jayden, Heather, Eric, and mom and dad. We had an absolute blast. I will post pics later. London loved all the rides. I think her favorite was the Haunted Mansion and her least favorite was Peter Pan. She would cry when the rides were over beacuse she wanted to go on them again. She loved Winnie the Pooh and gave him a big hug. She was not scared of the characters at all. Teagan loved Sully from the Monsters Inc. He also enjoyed the rides he could go on. It poured the first day but it was funny watching everyone run for shelter (including us). We would go to the park from open to close. The kids could not run around much so we would let them run around the halls and room before bed so that they could zonk out at night. The beds at the hotel were absolutly horrible; hard and super small. The plane rides were only half full so the kids basically got their own seat which was sooo nice. It was so nice to spend time with family. It makes me appreciate them so much more. It makes me miss mom and dad and wished I lived closer. We are just going to have lots of sleep over parties :)

Tonight we went to the store to get everything we needed for Londons birthday party. We also had to refill some perscriptions. Usually I love Target but holy crap!! That was a joke. They were hours behind so Derek went in this morning to pick them up and they did not have two of them because they did not have the product. WOW! Are you kidding me. Just my luck. Last night I was super sick from something I ate...It was not a good night. Lets hope tonight is better....

October 12th 2010

Tonight I went and saw "Life as we know it" It was so good. I cried and laughed. It was a really good movie. It made me rememeber how much I love Derek and the kids. I love my little family and would not change it for the world.

When I was leaving to the movie London did not want me to go. She cried and after I left Derek said she walked around the house crying and looking for mama. Me and London are like 2 peas in a pod. Derek and Teagan are pals. So it is girls against boys :)

October 10th 2010

So we started Teagan on Soy milk today because he pukes everytime he has normal milk. So far so good. He must have his mommies issues with milk....Sorry little buddy!!!

October 9th 2010

Okay so I did nothing today. I was super depressed because I missed my best friend in the world first temple experience. I had promised her I would be there and talked to her about it for months and when the day came the stars were not alligned. Things happen but I beat myself up all day over it. I am so glad that she is super understanding and such a great person. Love you Amy and I am super proud of you!!!

Me and Derek took the kids to Cornbellys. It was overcast and a little chilly but not bad. London was still to small to really enjoy things becuase there were obnoxious older kids taking over everything. I hate when people let their kids run wild. Anyways we had fun especailly finding the corn in the maze, london loved carrying it around with her. Teagan went down a slide for the first time and wasnt scared.

October 6th 2010

Derek had to work late so me and the kids spent some fun time together:

Watching Backyardagains with her chocolate milk.

Coloring!! She could sit here for hours and hours and color. It is her favorite thing to do!

London thought Elmo needed some Kix cereal.

Walking in mommys shoes. She loves to do this. It is funny to watch her in my high heels. She clomps around the kitchen :)

Here is my little explorer. He found the blinds behind the curtains in Londons room. I could not drag him away from them. He also has to pull himself up to everything. He wants to walk so bad.

October 5th 2010

After work today I went home and played with London and Teagan. Then we went to Kohls to get some fall decor because we dont have any! We decided to eat and In-n-out burger while we were there. It is pretty good. The best burger I have eaten. I dont really like hambergers because of the texture but their burgers are yummy. Then I went to get my temple recommend renewed. It is my goal to start going to the temple as much as I can. After I got home from that me and London read books while Derek put Teagan to sleep. I love spending time with the kids. Having London sit on my lap and read books with me is one of my favorite moments. I love cuddling with my baby girl!!

October 4th 2010

Tonight when I got home we put the kids in the bath tub. London loves to take a bath but we bought a new bubble machine that pumps a million bubbles into the tub and it makes a humming noise...well...she HATES it. I think it is the noise that she hates so much. She did not want to take a bath at all; she cried and cried. Well because she was crying it made brother cry. So we hurried and bathed them so they could get out. After we got all ready we went to Trolley Square to eat at the Spaghetti Factory for Dana's birthday. Teagan ate so much food he spit up all over the place and London whined most of the time becuase we wanted her to eat and she wanted to color. (She is going to be an artist, she LOVES to color). After dinner we went to Dana and Gary's house to watch Dana open presents. London loved playing with their puppy Griff. She would chase him around with Sadie. Then she had to take turns sitting on everyones lap. Then it was time to go nigh night. It was a fun day!

October 3rd 2010

Today was another wonderful day of confrence. Me and Derek actually got to watch quite a bit because they kids wanted to play in their rooms in the ball pit. After confrence was over we went to Dana's sisters house for dinner and cake. It is Dana's birthday on Monday so we decided to celebrate with her family Sunday night. Happy Birthday Dana!!

October 2nd 2010

This morning I turned up the television full blast so that I could attempt to listen to confrence. The kids had another thought....lets watch Elmo, play with every toy possible, climb in the toy box and throw the toys around the room and pull out all the flashcards to review with mom. So my attempt to watch confrence was not so great. Then I finally got the kids to sleep, ate some lunch and decided to relax a bit in bed before the second session...oops! I fell asleep and woke up to hear Ukdorf (not sure how to spell that) speak. It was an awesome talk though. Guess I will have to listen to it on the computer.

Saturday night Derek went with the men in the family to the Priesthood session and while they were gone the girls went to dinner to the CPK. It was a lot of fun but hard with two kids. London kept spilling chocolate milk on her and Teagan thought he needed to eat my pizza and freaked out when I would not let him. Overall it was a great day! Even though some times it seems like choas I love every minute of it. My kids have changed my life for the better and I would never change that! They are my everything. They make me smile and laugh. They make me want to wake up each day. Love you guys!!!!

October 1st 2010

So I took Teagan to his one year doctor appointment this morning and he is 19 pounds and like 8 ounces. He is in the zero percentile for his length; the 7th percentile for his weight and the 91st percentile for his head. So...I have a short slightly fat boy with a huge head :) I love my little man. He is healthy and ready to start on some milk. He is a big boy now! I cant believe my baby is so grown up. When we got home he wanted to go to sleep because of his shots so he went nigh night and me and London played, watched elmo and ate macaroni and cheese (the only thing she will eat) oh and she wanted to mix in honey kix (YUCK!!). She is so funny.
