Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Desiree!
Happy Birthday to you!
Hope your day is filled with lots of love and happiness! We love you! Kids say Happy Birthday Aunt Desiree and Carsyn is singing and dancing crazy for you! :) to bad i didnt just get that on film you would have busted up. :) Happy Birthday! Hope it is fun!

Our own Bowling game!

so we were a little bored today I had carsyn lay on the floor and i slide him down the hall and then lily and amaya wanted to try so we started doing it for like 20 minutes when trevor thought about havin them be a bowling ball. so i got lily stacking cups set them up as pins as tossed them down the lane! they had so much fun. :)

15 month check-up

Lily had her 15 month checkup today and she is doing great! she weighs 26.3 lbs 90% and is 33in tall 97%. We got a big girl on our hands! We decided that we arent going to do immunizations anymore so she didnt get shots today. Yes I know what I am doing I have research all sides of it. AND i know there are a few of you that dont agree with me but its our choice and decision. My kids pediatrician is fine with our choice and said its not bad that we choose not to do it and it isnt bad that some people choose to have their kids immunized. its like 50/50 he said now a days. Everyone has there own opinion and he respects that. And I LOVE that about him. He NEVER makes me feel like I am doing something wrong or bad parent for my choices. He always respects me and our decisions with our kids. But enough on this topic. :)

She is walking running all over the place, she keeps up with her brother like its nothing. She gets into EVERYTHING! she is our explorer. She climbs on all the furniture including the kitchen table. Loves to play in the toilet. yes i did say toilet. She loves to be outside even if it is 112 out. She is one active little girl! not a baby anymore. Her hair is turning more red everyday and its becoming curly!! Oh how I love it! :)

Firestation

Today I took the kids to the Firestation on 7th Street and Paradise, the guys were my customers back when I worked at QT so they were always telling me to bring the kids down so we finally did! My friend Emily and her kids tagged along too! it was fun! The kids loved it! they got to play on the truck, sit in the drivers seat and then they got to spray the firehose!
Some of the pictures didnt turn out to good due to MR. GOLDEN SUN as the kids call him. :)

so a little update...

well trevor went to drill this weekend and they are trying to figure out whats going on with this whole medical waiver being denied and when he will be discharged. Well after lunch break he came back and they said they are going to try to keep him in and get his medical waiver approved.. so we should know by next month whats going on whether he is stayin or leaving. Only thing that frustrates me is that he has almost used up all his military hours that work gives him... oh well i am sure things will work out the way they are meant to be.

One week down in the new house!

So its been a week and it has gone alot better then I thought it would. The kids are sleeping in there own rooms thru the WHOLE night. *carsyn isnt sneaking to the couch like before* and we are all moved in! YAY! now time to decorate the walls and rooms! now only if money grew on trees! :) We are hoping to put grass and some landscape in the back yard here soon. I also want to plant a small garden so I have some fresh veggies and fruits to eat.

Trevor still is in the army and we are just waiting to see when his discharge date will be. Until then he has to go to all his weekend drills. Its nice money but I wish he could just stay home with us. :) I am just glad he didnt go active and quit his full time job and us not have anything to fall back on now that all this has happened. I really feel this is a blessing because alot has happened this summer and I couldnt imagine him not by my side helping me through it all.

Babysitting is coming along great, kids all get along and play well together and we are making progress with Cody. He is crying less as the week goes on. I just hope his 3 day weekend doesnt mess things up.

well thats the latest with us! we love you all and thanks for all you have done for us. we truely appreciate it! :)

our house furnished!!

Happy Birthday Sammy!

Things are coming along...

It has been one crazy month... Alot from good to bad and then good again. Everything has worked out in the end but man I have gained like 3 grey hairs in the process. LOL. I have been packing and cleaning everything for the past 3 weeks and man its tiring when you do the majority of it yourself. I cant believe the time is already here. I only have 3 days left of work and I still cant believe that everything is working out to where I can stay at home! I am watching 3 kids besides my own. Amaya who is almost 3, Seth who is 2 and Cody who is a month younger then Lily. And I might even get 2 more boys a 3 year old and 1 year old just on Wednesday though and then we move in 4 days. We are so excited to move into the new house but sad to leave this area. We have made so many new friends in our ward, and hope that just cause we are moving doesnt mean we cant still hang and party it up! :)
Well I should really get back to packing and cleaning. But keep a look out for new pictures after we move in and a date for a house warming party!!
