Baby Peyton Update!

We had another ultrasound today and he already weights 5 lbs 7 oz!! He was being kindof shy though so we didn't get a picture. My doctor says that everything looks great!!

Day 5 without Daddy

Yeah, daddy just called and said that he is going to try and come home tonight!! The boys are having a sleepover with grandma and grandpa so we're going to go out to dinner and a movie maybe. He said that he is really stinky and needs to shave really bad. The worst part about Rob coming home from camping is the campfire smell he brings with him. It kindof makes me sick, I'm not sure if its because I'm pregnant or what. But I always make him undress downstairs and put all of his clothes in the washer immediatley. If he doesn't the smell lingers upstairs for days. We don't have any plans for today yet. I need to clean our house and the boys want to go swimming but thats about it. Its been a pretty fun week with just the boys and me but we miss Daddy and can't wait for him to come home!!!

Day 4 Missing Daddy

Well, its day four with Daddy at Scout camp. It hasn't been too bad as far as the boys being crazy but we're really missing daddy. I swear Tyler is asking where he is every 10 minutes. And when I tell him that he is camping Bryan or Colby are always asking how much longer daddy has to be camping for and if he is ever coming home. Its sad but kind of cute. I decieded that I am to impatient to wait for Tylers scrapes to be totally gone and today they were just sortof pink. So I took the boys to Target to get their pictures taken for their bedroom. At first Tyler was not doing good at all. I think he gets scared of the lady with the big camera and just wants to sit on moms lap. So we did the other boys first to show him that its okay. Then we got him to play catch with Bryan while we took so pictures. That made him kindof happy. But it was a lot harder trying to get a group one cause he wanted to just sit on my lap. So the lady suggested that I get in with them. Problem was that they were wearing red plaid shirts and I was wearing a torquoise shirt that totally didn't match. Plus I wanted it for their bedrooms so I didn't really want to be in them. Well, we tricked him a couple of times and finally got two cute ones for the group. I was very surprised we even got that with the way he was acting. So of course I had to buy them all a toy because they were being so good. Bryan got an Indiana Jones action figure and Colby got a King Peter from Narnia action figure. Tyler got some candy. Surprisingly the toys cost more then the pictures did??? But they will look cute in their bedroom so it was worth it. On the way home Tyler and Colby fell asleep, which I thought would be awesome. But as soon as we got home and Bryan saw that Colby was asleep he asked me if he could play with his King Peter. Colby immediatley woke up and insisted that he was awake and Bryan couldn't play with it. It was so funny, I've never seen him wake up that fast. Tyler woke up when I got him out of the car and wouldn't go back to sleep. So he only took a 15 minute nap today. Needless to say he has been very onry. But we played outside for a while and took the dogs for a walk. Now if I can just get them in the tubbie and try to hold out for 8:00 or so we should be good. I'm crossing my fingers that Tyler will last that long, if he doesn't he'll be up really early!!

Day 3 with Daddy gone

I got on a decorating kick today so I've been dragging the boys all around town looking for things for their bedroom and also Peytons nursery. They've been really good though. I got them out early enough where they weren't onry because they were tired. Then came home and put it all together. I still haven't found what I went out looking for though. I'm looking for a vintage type picture of sports for their bedroom. But I couldn't find anything. I found a couple of Babe Ruth ones but I just want like different sports balls all together or something like that. I was going to take them to Target and just get their picture taken with sports stuff but then I remembered Tylers face isn't so picture friendly right now. So if I can't find what I'm looking for I'll have to wait until it gets better. We're babysitting my niece Brooklyn right now and the boys love it. They are trying to get her to play with swords but she's not really into them. She's a couple months younger then Tyler but Tyler thinks he's WAY bigger and is bossing her around and trying to give her hugs all the time. It's pretty cute!!

Pond Pictures/ Car Wash

Here's some more pond pictures and car washing pictures!!!

Day 2 with Daddy gone

So today I took the boys to Beus Pond in Ogden with some ladies from my ward. They had a lot of fun. First we went to Carls Jr and got some lunch. Which was kindof a waste of money because Bryan and Colby didn't even eat any of theirs. They were two busy playing on the playground with their friends. At least me and Tyler enjoyed ours. Then we went down and fed the ducks. Well, at first it was more like feeding the fish because the ducks kept swimming away. But then we found some seagulls and they enjoyed Bryan and Colbys french fries from their happy meals. They had a lot of fun playing with their friends and just being outside. We stopped at Jakes Over the Top on the way home and got their favorite, Strawberry Shakes!! The cotton was so bad out there that the inside of my car was just cotton everywhere. And since I have allergies I didn't think that would be so good to stay there. So when we got home we cleaned our car and vacuumed it out. The boys had a lot of fun helping me and squirting me with the hose!!







Sorry about the pictures not being in a slideshow. I know that makes it easier to view them but my mom can't save them if they are in a slideshow and I like to print out my blog entries and use it as my journal, and I can't print out the slideshow pictures :)

Day 1 with Daddy gone

Bryan had his very last T-ball game yesterday. When he had his first game my mom wanted to take him out to dinner, anywhere he wanted to go. So he picked Taco Maker. Then after every single game that is where we had to go to dinner cause it was a tradition. So I'm kind of glad the games are over cause I was getting sick of Taco Maker. But Bryan wouldn't let us go anywhere else. After the game we went to my moms house to watch Bacholorette. The boys went outside to go "Strawberry Hunting" in my moms garden. They always come back with a ton of Strawberries. Well, we told them they had to wash them outside with the hose so they wouldn't get the house a mess. About ten minutes later we can hear them laughing really loud. So we go out there and they put the hose on top of the pool cover and made their very own slip-n-slide. It was so funny, they were even going down the slide on their bellies and gliding along the cover. Of course we had to take pictures cause it was so cute. We just didn't tell Grandpa to come out and watch, he probably wouldn't have been too happy thinking that the cover was going to break or something. But don't worry, they play on it all the time it can hold a couple thousand pounds without ripping I think. The cutest part was when Tyler finally got involved. The older boys taught him to do belly flops onto cover. So he would stand on the side and yell, "bewwy fwop" and then land on his belly into the water.

Widow Week/Wipeout!

So some women just have a widows weekend when their husbands go hunting. Well, for me its a Widows ENTIRE Week. :( Rob has scout camp this week and since all of his assistants bailed on him at the last minute he has to be up there the entire week. I was so mad, at first he was going to come back on Wednesday but now not until Saturday. Luckily he has a job that understands that being Scoutmaster is not an easy job and they understood when he told them he had to go. Good thing is that my dad is going to be out of town until Thursday so I'm sure there will be a lot of shopping and hanging out with Grandma this week. Plus Rob went to the store this morning to get some last minute snacks and came back with Zelda for the Wii. That will definitely eat up a lot of our week. I've already played it like 4 hours I think. But I have to keep taking breaks cause it gives me a headache. At least we got to spend some time with him this weekend before he left. But we had a little bit of an accident with Tyler. He is normally a pro when it comes to going up and down stairs. But we were at my moms house on Friday night and he slipped when he was going down the deck stairs. He must have landed directly on his head cause he had a HUGE goose-egg on his forehead. He was so sad and his face looks so bad. Now it just kind of looks like road rash though. I tried to get a good picture today but whenever he sees the camera he "cheeses" so it was hard to get the side of his face. Hes feeling better now until I try to put medicine on it. He doesn't like that so much.

Swim Fun at Grandmas!!!

Its been such nice weather lately that I swear we've gone swimming every single day this past week. The boys love the water and spend most of their time underneath it or jumping into it. Colby is doing so good now he doesn't need help at all. He just swims where ever he wants just like Bryan. Tyler is starting to like going under water now and wants to do it all the time. I just wish he would wear goggles like his brothers cause he opens his eyes and then laughs cause he can see Bryan or Colby waving to him. Today they started going down the slide on their bellies so I grabbed my camera to take some pictures. Normally they'll only go down feet first. Colby did it first cause he's our daredevil. But then when Bryan saw how much he liked it he started doing it too. Then of course Tyler had to go down too, but only with Daddy for right now. They love the pool!!!

Tired Tyler!!

Poor Tyler got sick this last weekend when we were in St. George. So he never really slept very good. Well, when we got home that night he was so tired but I didn't want to put him to bed yet because he had to take some more medicine and it wasn't time yet. This is what happened when I set him down on the counch for 2 minutes to get his medicine ready

Daddy was supposed to keep him awake but he was too busy playing Wii with Bryan. It was so cute, I had to take a picture of course!

Weekend pictures!!

We rode the Frontrunner down to the zoo on Friday, the boys loved it!!!

Here's one at the zoo with Hahanna and Addy and Mia!

He's such a ham when I bring out the camera!

Bryans 1st attempt at hoola-hoop!

The boys with Great Grandpa Smith, Colby likes to call him Grandpa Smee. Because everytime he sees him he is wearing a stripped shirt like Mr. Smee on Peter Pan.

Bryan is normally terrified of cats but he made Grandpa chase their cat all morning just so he could hold him. He loved Scampers!!

Playing football with daddy!!

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa!!

Last week my grandma came into town and we got to hang out with her for a couple of days. Wednesday we drove down to St. George and took the boys to a Tulacan Play. It was the Sound of Music. Tyler fell asleep shortly after it started so that was nice. Colby fell asleep about half way through but Bryan watched the whole thing. He really liked it and thought it was a lot of fun. Friday we went to the zoo and "this is the place" monument. We didn't stay very long cause the boys were tired after the zoo but they did get to ride on a pony. Tyler didn't like that very much which really surprised me cause he loves horses and gets so excited whenever he sees one. But when he got up close to it and we tried to put him on it, he would start screaming. Bryan and Colby loved it, they were pretending that they were Indiana Jones. That night we had a swim party and BBQ. Saturday we went to Robs parents house to celebrate Fathers Day. They bought a little pool for the kids to play in. Bryan and Colby had a lot of fun but Tyler and Kate didn't like the cold water. Sunday we had another pool party and BBQ at my parents house. Little to say its been a very busy week but it was fun to spend some time with my grandparents. They live in Arizona so we don't get to see them that often. The boys loved all the attention too!

Daddys Days Off!!

So Rob has had the past three days off. Its been great having him around the house all the time and not having to run off to work. We were hoping to work more done on our yard but the weather wasn't very nice whenever we got a chance. We worked a little bit on the sprinkler system today but of course found more problems. And since we're not super close to Lowes its hard to keep running there to get more parts. Bryan and Colby didn't mind the rain because that meant Rob could play Wii with them. We just bought Lego Star Wars for Bryan a couple of days ago so Rob has been working hard to get him all the characters he likes. It was really funny because Rob would be trying to complete a level and he would get stuck. So he would make Bryan tell him what he had to do. And of course Bryan knew what to do. He loves that game and is probably better at playing it then Rob is sometimes!

New Bed Giggles!

I caught him while he was still sleeping!

Him looking at me like I'm crazy for waking him

up to take pictures !!

Then he was all giggles cause he realized he was still
in his new bed!

Heres just one of the boys news bunkbeds or they

like to call it their castle!

My Crazy Week!!

So my work offered to get me a new computer since my old one was so slow and would always freeze up on me. So I thougth "great", new computers are nice. So we drove down to Draper to my work to trade computers. They told me it would take an hour or so to transfer all of my personal stuff over to the new computer. So we went over to IKEA and ate lunch, bought the boys bunkbeds, and tried to kill some time. After an hour I went back and the tech guy was at lunch. So another guy was working on it, but he told me that Randall still had to do something but he would be back soon. So we drove around and tried to kill some more time. Well, Randall calls me and tell me that he has to do more stuff and it won't be ready until Tuesday. Arghh!!! So my wonderful brother, Dustin, said he would pick it up Tuesday on his way home from work. That would be great..... except when he got there he couldn't find Randall, so another guy that works there gave him what he thought was my new computer. Randall calls me up 10 minutes later and says that he gave my brother the wrong one!!! Arghhh again!!!! Well, I didn't want to make my brother turn around and go get the new one so I had to drive down there this morning, in the pouring rain, and trade out the computers. It was a big mess!!! Thats been my crazy week, on top of that Bryans T-ball game got canceled for tonight. Rob traded shifts with someone so he could have today off and see his game. But now there won't be one!! Not that anyone really cares about my stressfull week, but its nice to vent!! Some good news is that we did get the boys bunkbeds and moved Tyler out of his crib and into a toddler bed with them. He gets so excited when he doesn't have to go to his crib. But last night he woke up at like 1:00 and was singing "old mcdonald", Bryan woke up and was getting so mad at him. He kept threating him to stop singing or he would have to go back to his crib. Tyler didn't care, he kept singing away! EIEIO!!!
