We're good at random...

31 weeks with Brookelyn...

30 weeks with Caleb...
I think I look a lot bigger with Caleb at this point than I do with Brookelyn. I feel like I'm carrying her more like I did Nash - all up front and only pregnant in the belly. If you look close at this picture, you can tell my ankles have started to swell. Right now, I still have ankles! Even my face and arms look pregnant in this picture. Maybe it's because it was about the end of May in this picture?? Just glad I'm not looking quite this pregnant with Brookelyn right now!

Samantha danced at the MC Caprielle Review on Friday...

We love, love, love the 3 barrel curling iron Great Grandma & Grandpa Reeder gave her for her birthday. We've used it LOTS and LOTS!

Last night Caleb fell asleep fast once he sat down and quit moving. He just looked too dang cute to not take a picture of! I think I have the most pictures of him sleeping than either of the other 2! Guess he just sleeps kinda funny!

Skiing the Beav with Dad



Today Travis took Samantha & Nash skiing at Beaver Mountain. This was Sam's second time & Nash's first time skiing. Apparently they did great! I was sure glad when I found out that their Aunt Jamie took her camera with to take pictures!
When I asked Trav has the kids did he said, "Well....Nash...he's just Nash." Can't put it simpler than that, can you? I laughed & asked why. He said that when they got to the top of the mountain and put the skis on him he didn't want to wait for instructions, he just wanted to zip off down the mountain without help! Thank goodness mom wasn't there or I'd a had a heart attack! Trav said it snowed on them all day so it was a bit difficult for the kids because they got drenched. It looks like it too!
All they said to me about their day when they got home was "Thanks for the lunch today mom!" Guess they got hungry!









This is my favorite picture of the bunch!


For Ashlee

My cousin posted about her little girl & how much she likes m & m's and has recently combined the love with her love of cookies. Needless to say, I was inspired....Here's to Ashlee!


This one is also for Ashlee. Remember how close you said Rylee was sitting to the TV? Well, you are not alone my friend. I think I asked the kid a half dozen times to scoot back before I took this picture. Eventually he scoot back about 6 inches from this exact location.

Some fun pictures

You can see her super chubby cheeks really good in this picture. No, she's not missing part of her arm. The placenta was blocking her face, so the ultrasound tech deleted the placenta & it took the part of her arm that overlapped it out of the picture too.


You can see her little slugo nose pretty good in this picture.
This one shows the cord draped over her head like a dreadlock! You can also see her chubby cheeks and her slugo nose pretty good in this one.
This is the one she's sticking her tongue out at us in. You can actually see eyelashes too. I don't think you can see the slugo nose in this picture as well. Back by her head you can see her little fingers though.

Last night I finished 11 pillowcase dresses. Samantha wants to keep the brown one on the end. I made the 1st one on the left for a friend's little girl. The remainder are ones I thought would be fun to get made & put on my etsy. Obviously I had intended to have them done before Valentine's Day, but that just didn't happen. Oh well, they are still super cute. By my calculations, I have 7 more to cut out & finish that are either ordered or for friends before I can start stock piling some for the 4th of July booth I'm doing in Hyrum. I also have 5 reversible bags that I need to get finished up (should finish today or tomorrow), 2 carseat canopies and another reversible bag that was ordered but isn't cut out yet. I also have 10 Christmas stockings that were ordered & need to be done, but that isn't too high on the priority list right now because it's MARCH! I'm hoping I can get 3 aprons done for gifts before Mother's Day as well. After all those are done, I have blankets for the kids that I've bought flannel for. I cut Caleb's out & Sam's is laid out but not cut out and I'm waiting on the pattern for Nash's from my mom. These quilts are awesome. They are about 5 ft by 4 ft and are shaped like different animals. They are flannel & you rag them. Hopefully they aren't too big of a bugger to sew (cutting them out is a serious pain in the rear!). I really need to quit buying fabric & just use what I've got & get stuff finished! Too bad they keep putting super cute fabric on sale for 50% off & I keep going into JoAnn's thinking - "Oh! That would be a cute _____."Last night we made hamburgers & fries. While Trav was out back grilling the hamburgers he got the kids to come out & build a snowman. I figured the snow would be too slushy and gross, but apparently, it was perfect for building a snowman. They had a great time (even the dogs were out there).
The next two pictures are of Caleb. The kid totally cracks me up lately. He's started replying in complete sentences & restating the question that you've asked him. For example: Me: "Caleb, did you leave your sippy cup in dad's truck?" Caleb: "Yes. I left my sippy cup in dad's truck." Trav was surprised at how much he's talking since the last time he was home. I guess I just don't notice it because I'm around him all the time! I think it was about the 2nd or 3rd time Trav commented on how much Caleb talks that I said, "Yeah. I know. He never shuts up these days!" There is one time of day however that he will be quiet....when Go! Diego, Go! is on. I found a Diego DVD at WalMart for about $8 that has 4 episodes on it. I'm starting to regret buying that. Since we have DVR, we record new episodes for him to watch too. So, everyone in the house gets to watch a LOT of Diego these days. In fact, last week I had the entire theme song stuck in my head for about 3 days straight!
This first picture of Caleb is when he was watching Diego in my room on my bed. It just cracked me up how he was laying there like he owned my whole bed. He was so into his Diego episode he didn't even notice I took his picture!
Nash got this Spiderman hat last winter to keep his face warm. Recently Caleb has discovered it. It's not like he's a huge Spiderman fan, he apparently just likes the hat. The night I took this picture he pretty much refused to take the hat off to do anything! Last night I thought he was going to wear it to bed because he was quite reluctant to take it off to put his pjs on and then he insisted on wearing it with his pjs! What a goofy kid! He is by far the best comic relief of my day!
