so tough

I bought these sweet pj's at oldnavy.com. The day they came in the mail Jaks HAD to have them on and he put up a fight the next day to take them off. Im glad he likes them.

i want to try!

does this not look like heaven to you?



I have not tried this myself yet....but I have big plans to do so....VERY soon! you can find the recipe here. I love this blog mainly because the lighting is great and the photography is always so crisp and clear and to me that makes everything look good!

And as I was browsing I also came across this one too. de-vine!! ha

she can crawl!

My older 2 kids crawled before they turned one....but little Nay stuck with her army crawl up until last week.

she could get up on all fours so we all encouraged her and she did it!! She thinks she owns us...and she totally does.

her favorite thing is crawling up on us when we are on the floor.

Movie night.

Friday night is movie night!

We usually get together with Ashley and her boys, but last friday they were sick. So I had to make it up to my kids by making a fort.

Im guessing we will have to do this every friday night! Total FUN!!




* Navy slept through the last 2 nights....I think we are good to go! She still wakes up at like 10 ish and has to cry back to sleep...but we are making progress and I love getting sleep!

Incentive

This summer we decided to have a little fun with Garetts job and let the kids benefit from it too. Summers are hard on us! We get to see Garett for a smidge in the morning and then on Sundays...not much

The kids crave their dad.

So we set goals for Garett to hit and each time he does the kids get a prize.

Something for the kids to look forward to and give Garett a little more drive each day.

When he hit 20 sales we got the kids these little mini books.....they love them!



Look at my kids' big toes in this last picture.....a little trait they get from Grandma Sandi...ha


* Two steps ahead, one step back....Navy woke up last night and I had to let her cry again! HATE IT!! everything goes through my mind....is she ok....is she sick...did she mess her pants...AHHHH do I go get her. But we made it through.

Regina.

We are here.

Not too much to say about the place.

Its WINDY, if not more windy than SOAB.

I am not a fan of the wind at all

There is one thing that I am happy about and that is our house. Garett out did himself and got brand new houses for us this summer. My OCD concerning germs and other peoples filth doesnt exist this summer. its a beautiful thing!

It is small, but I would sacrifice small for NEW anyday!!


Kitchen....little, but nice. I get to experience stainless steel for the first time....we shall see how I like it.

Entrance.

living room. just the right size

this is the storage room that we turned into the kids play room....works out GREAT!!

Navy is sitting in the hallway that leads to our bedroom and the bathroom, the first door on the right is the kids bedroom

kids bedroom. so far it had been ok having the 2 oldest share a bed. we just have to get them sleeping in separate beds first

Navys nook.

Master bed. Its hard to get used to a queen again! sometimes I feel like I might fall off

The bathroom

bath

and our very own laundry....my favorite part!!

* Navy slept through the night again........WA HOOOOOO!!

Finally!

It has happened!

This momma got a full nights sleep!

I can probably count on ONE hand how many times that has happened in the past 3 years.

I knew what I needed to do but I avoided it because I cant let a baby cry...its just wrong....I just needed someone to TELL me to do it...so thanks Pam. {do you like how I talk to you in my blog....thats just cause I know you are the only one who reads it...ha}

So far it only took 1.5 nights of crying.....so we will see how tonight goes!

Jaks even stayed in bed all night too!

here are some pictures from Kaidas actual birthday....gotta break this 2 birthday party thing huh!


Too excited for words!









Its true....she got spoiled!

But I love that big 5 year old like crazy!

tried my best to get this boy to stay awake...went for a walk to try out the new scooter and came home and his dad let him fall asleep. funny thing is...when everyone came over for dinner he didnt move....i even vacuumed and he still didnt move. ha

I spent long and hard on this meal....ha. I dont think I will ever make another lasagna again. these ones from costco are soooo yummy and cheap!



She loves getting sung to!!

totally missed her blowing out her candle..grrr


She also go this much wanted Repunzel barbie from Dryden and Corson! I even brush her hair at night after the kids are in bed....I want it to stay pretty instead of going into dread locks like ALL her other barbies.

Adam.....you are special! He sat there for like 20 min and let these boys full on punch him in the face!

Camera talk

I knew summer was going to be a long one with 24/7 kids. So I decided to go visit a dear friend PAM. It was nice to get out but I had my kids with me and they were being extra shy and clingy. It was nice to be able to visit and have some good ol' camera talk. Pam is always a good time!


the pictures I took at her house are lame cause I had my ISO jacked way up for some reason!

What a pair of cute babies and high ISO

Her house is SOO cute that it makes me mad!
