HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Today is my amazing sons 2nd birthday. In the past two years Teagan has blessed me in so many ways. He has always been a miracle to me. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I was on a roller coaster ride until the day he was born. From that day 2 years ago my life has greatly changed. He has made me appreciate life and the little things it has to offer. In the past year Teagan has started walking and starting saying a few words. He still struggles with language and communication but every day he gets a little better. He know says "Mommy", "Daddy", "Kankie" (for blankie), he attempts to say London, "Kink"(for drink). He is trying so hard and is doing a great job. He has had his struggles from being preemie but is excelling at a wonderful rate. Teagan I love you with all my heart and you are my main man! I love you for everything you are and everything that you will become.

Today we celebrated Teagans 2nd birthday. I cant beleive my little man is almost 2!!! He is getting so grown up and big. We had all of our family and a few friends at his party. It was a balloon theme so we blew up about 400 balloons with helium. We had about 50 punch bag balloons and 25 small beach balls. We covered the back yard with them and made a big balloon archway. We are so glad that we had good weather for the party because we held it in the backyard. We ate sandwhichs with some yummy salad that Derek and I made. For his birthday dessert we had ice cream with Chocolate covered oreos that I made. They were so good if I say so myself. He blew out his candle then I had to light it again and again so that London and Jayden could blow it out. Teagan got some amazing presents. He got a train table, a car ramp, tons of cars, clothes, HUGE Mickey Mouse, Mr. Potatoe Head, Dinosaurs (which I think was his favorite), a wiggle car (probably will be stolen by London). He was spoiled rotten like always. I love you son!! As long as the sun shines and the moon rises.

Friday September 23rd 2011

Derek had the day off today so we woke up and ran some errands (typically stuff). Then after the kids woke up from their naps we took them to the Circus. I won 4 tickets (they were the nose bleed seats). We thought we would try it out because they were free, then if the kids did not like it we could leave and it wouldnt be a big deal. They loved everything but the set up in between acts when the clowns did really stupid things. They were a little board when they did that. London loved the elephants and tigers so much she made up a song and sings it all the time. She also asks all the time if we are going to the circus again. Guess we will be going next year.

Today was Papa Pete's birthday so we all met at Robintinos for dinner with the Grunander Family. It was good food and a fun little party.

Oh Derek

Derek playing around with the baby stuff we were selling at the yard sale:

Oh My Adorable!

Derek was shopping with the kids when he turned around and saw this.....

They were holding hands! Its a miracle!! Whenever we ask them to hold hands Teagan throws a fit because he doesnt want to be caught dead holding his sisters hand in public. This time he did it without being asked. They really are the best of friends.

FOOTBALL!

We were hanging out at Dereks parents house while they were cleaning out some old boxes. Brent came across one that had an old inflatable football helmet from high school so of course Derek put it on Teagan:

Our little football star!

Fun at the yard sale 2011

Me, Heather and mom held a yard sale at moms house in September of this year. We had tons of stuff and had a really fun time. Below are some pictures of Derek keeping the kids entertained inside the house:

London 9/22/2011

London is in the stages that she says the funnest and cutest things all the time. Me and Derek just laugh so hard because she is the CUTEST thing on earth. Here are some examples:

Derek was driving the kids around and Teagan started to fall asleep so Derek kept saying "Teagan" to try and wake him up. Next thing he knows London says "what about me dad?" She wanted him to say her name to. SO STINKIN CUTE!

We were driving home from a trip to Target and we realized that Teagan had pooped so we were arguing who was going to change him. I kept saying "daddy he is your son so your gonna change him" and Derek said "he is your son" next thing we konw London said "He is my son!" it was so cute. I told her she could change him but she decided not to.

Fun random pictures of our fun little family!

London was playing hard and fell asleep on the bear. Derek couldnt find her for a second and thought she got lost in the house. SO CUTE!

Watching Yo Gabba Gabba with her baby, blanket, and glow bug. Oh and cant forget the chocolate milk and vitamin.

Loving her peaches. What good kids.

I asked London if she would help clean up and she said "Mom I am busy!"

Cleaning out the kids closets. Hanging all the clothes.

Yummy Fruit!!

NICU reunion 2011

We went to the NICU reunion with the kids and my parents. It was at the North Shore Aquatic Center in North Ogden. London was scared but I think it was because of all the people. She gets nervous around big huge crowds of loud people. Teagan was having a blast. He went down the little froggy slide a couple of times and then Derek took him down the big boy slide. He had so much fun. It was awesome weather and we had a great time.
