Last night we just hung around the house and had fun!! Here are some fun pics of the family:

Before bed the kids (and Derek) watched basketball. They already like sports. London was a daddys girl last night. Teagan is always a daddys boy.

London ready to go shopping with Daddy.

The yummy Pork, stuffing, and apple dish Derek made up. He is such a good cook. I love when he cooks.

Teagan shopping with Daddy. I did not get a picture of him on top of the toilet paper tower at Winco. Derek likes to put him in weird spots.

Again Teagan shopping with Derek. I can only imagine how many times he tried to eat this.

The AMAZING pink flowers Derek bought me because I was having a hard day.

My beautiful flowers again.

Derek. He hates his picture taken. I tell him he better get used to it.

London playing in Teagan's crib.

Teagan in a big boy chair.

Teagan in the infamous ball pit. This is their favorite toy.

After work we made a Costco run. Dang that Costco, they always have things you need but did not know you needed like that Huge Santa and kid decoration, or the huge coloring set for London, or that yummy sample of something you will probably not like when you get it home. Oh but Costco how I love thee so much.

WHY OH WHY DO I HAVE TO BE LACTOSE INTOLERANT!!!!! Yes I had another episode tonight even though I took my pill with everything I ate. Dang it sucks!!!

November 7th 2010

Today at Stake Confrence Jon Huntsman and M Russell Ballard spoke. It was so good. I cried when John Huntsman brought his 35 year old son to the pulpit. His son is unable to read or speak. He gave him a kiss on his forhead. The spirit was so strong. The love he has for his son echoed through the entire chapel. Thanks Jon Huntsman for reminding me that even though life can be hard with kids it is always going to be worth it.

Today I went to Roy to Relief Society Saturday with Heather and my Mom. We had a ton of fun. We made bracelets, cards, pin cusions, learned how to dip chocolate and caramel, ate soup. I love to learn new craft ideas and techniques. The one thing I cannot do is crouchet. I attempted a flower but was way to frustrated, that is Heathers thing not mine. She made my flower and I made her bracelet. Thanks for letting me tag alont :)

November 5th 2010

Okay today is a special day....London and Teagan weigh 21 pounds 14 ounces! Yes you heard me right. They weigh the same amount! My little son is now passing up his older sister. So funny!!!!

Here are some fun pics of my cute kids:

Here is my little spongebob. He is so cute in these PJs. His buddah belly is so big :)

November 3rd 2010

Tonight Heather, Eric and Jayden came over so we could do Heathers hair. We did some dark brown over her red and blonde on top. They are having family pics done so they wanted to look their best. We had fun visiting while they kids tore the house to peices. Eric was a little sick from having 3 teeth pulled. We felt so bad for him. It is so much fun to spend time with one of my favorite people in the world. I love my sister and have always looked up to her. She is honestly my bestest friend ever. Love ya to peices Heather!!

November 2nd 2010

So when I walked in the door after work today this is what I saw:

London and Teagan sitting next to each other. Teagan dressed as Elmo. Derek got the outfit on clearance at Toys and London LOVED it. She was all over Teagan when he had it on. Here is London in the costume:

It is so funny that it is a 12 month costume and both the kids fit in it. SO CUTE!!

Here are some other fun things the kids did today:

Sitting in the laundry basket together....

Playing with the papers on the couch. Notice her saggy pants. She is so skinny that pants dont fit her waist because we need 18-24 month for the length.

Also today was Nana's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!! We had fun eating at Texas Roadhouse and opening presents. We love you!

More Christmas wants

Indestructable Iphone case.

Handheld vacumn cleaner for the kitchen. I am so sick of sweeping every night.

Teagans getting ready to walk....

So sunday night when we got home Teagan pulled himself up to the couch and moved along it. It is the first time he has ever done that. We were so excited we put him up to the push toy and he pushed it and walked behind it!!! He is getting so big!!

October 31st 2010 Halloween!

Here is London in her Sunday Halloween clothes. She hated the leggings.

She would not hold still for a picture. I chased her around the house and finally got her to hold still in the bathroom. Dont ask why she feels she needs to eat the golf clubs. Silly girl :)

No luck on Teagan holding still either. He was crawling everywhere. So here is his side view.

Yet another pictures of the two crazies moving everywhere. Not very photogenic.

Happy Halloween!!!
We had our family Halloween party today in Roy. We went to the pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins. London wanted a "bananna" which was actually a yellow gourd. She loved it. Then we all went back to Grandma and Grandpas house and carved pumpkins. Derek's pumpkin was a big scary pumpkin eating a baby pumpkin (so sad I didnt get a picture). Mine was Mickey Mouse (freehand no pattern) haha arnt you jealous how good I am!!

Londons cute little pumpkins

After we carved pumpkins we went to Heathers street for the dinner and trunk or treat that they do every year, but just as we got down there is started to pour! We were all soaked so we jumped in the car and drove down the the end of the street to find my dad. It was funny because he was standing in line with his umbrella getting his food. The rain did not stop him from having fun. We picked him up and then Derek went and grabbed some dessert for us but instead of grabbing enough for the family,  he grabbed enough for the street. He is so funny. He grabbed an entire tray of cookies and stuck them in the car. Because of the rain we went back to the house and ordered pizza. We ate and let the kids play. They played sooooo hard. They were all laughing and having a great time. When the rain let up we took the kids to the trunk or treat and got some candy. Then my neice Sasha handed out candy to the trick or treaters that came to the house. She loved that. I hope everyone had a great Halloween; despite the weather ours was fabulous. 

October 29th 2010

Me, London and Teagan have been up in Roy with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days. We wanted to spend some time while Derek works his butt off (it is that time of year). Here are some fun pics of what the kids did:

Here is London in mommys shoes. She loves to put on all my shoes and walk around the house. It always scares me when she puts on my high heels, but she loves them.

London and Teagan were playing with Legos and she decided to put the container on her head and then Teagans. Teagan hated it. London thought it was so funny!

Here is Mr. Smiles all decked out in a Halloween shirt that fits him to a T "Crawly" HAHA

Here is Mr. Amazing working hard. He should be the picture boy for Toys R Us.

We had so much fun. We ate out a bunch and enjoyed all the yummy food. We went to Sams club and London hated the pony rocking horse. It was so cute becuase they wanted Grandpa to push them around the store. London would yell "Ganpa!" when he would walk away. Mr. Teagan gave me a run for my money though. He decided he will not sleep unless Daddy puts him to sleep. He kept waking up in the middle of the night. That boy.....gotta love him. He has always loved Daddy more.

October 27 2010

SNOW!!!!! Here is the first snow of the year. Not excited. Can I say I hate the snow.

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!!!

October 26th 2010

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 :)

Teagan sleeping on the plane ride.

London sleeping in Nana's car on the way home.

This is a picture of us on the Buzz lightyear ride. It was way fun!!

October 13th 2010

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!!!

October 8th 2010

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.

Playing on the little wooden train

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.
