{15 months}

Our little lady is 15 months now! I am amazed at how much she has changed in the last 3 months, it is so crazy to think about!

Our great eater has turned into the pickiest eater in the world!! Most days it makes me angry when everything I shove in her mouth she spits out. She is still a great sleeper. Maybe eventually she can move into her own room, but I am having a hard time even thinking about her being so far away. And she sleeps so good in my closet, so why mess with a good thing?! She doesn't really talk much (words), but she lets you know what she wants. As of late everything is a cell phone and she loves purses and bracelets.

Yesterday she went for her 15 month check up and here are her stats:

weight: 21.86 lbs (30%)

height: 30 in (60%)

head circ: 19 in (90%)

365- Week 37

Another week gone! It seems as though this year is flying by!

9, 10, 11, what a fun day! The kids played in the back yard while Chris did some yard work. The weather outside was beautiful in between all the thunderstorms we had. I LOVED the thunderstorms, but it was nice to be able to be outside without sweating!

I have been wanting this vinyl over this picture ever since we moved into our house, actually ever since I saw it at my friend's house;)

And on a day when we remember how our world changed forever 10 years ago, I am very thankful for my forever family.

Cooper was playing hide and seek in the curtains with Aubrey. Normally this is something i wouldn't allow, I don't need them ruined, but it was so cute to see them play together and he had Aubrey laughing so hard. That is until her little attitude kicked in and she shoved him out. She is a feisty little thing!!

Aubrey was introduced to the power wheels. She was a fan!! Cooper was NOT a fan of driving her around. If she was in the front seat then he didn't have anywhere to put his guns!!

09/14/11

Everybody(all 25 of us!) went to Katie's Powder Puff game and then out to dinner at Grazianos. It was good to all be together!! A little crazy, but good!

Just my cute boy playing before bed.

Aubrey was soooo tired. We were going out to lunch, so I didn't put her down for a nap. She just walked around with her blankie wrapped around her.

Date Night

Last Friday Chris and I got have a date night with our oldest and our youngest. We went to our favorite, Balboa Pizza Co. and then down to the way to ride the carousel. It was fun to have some time with them and it was so quiet!

365- Week 36

I was sooooo bad this week. I didn't take any pictures with a camera. If I didn't have a phone I wouldn't have any this week. so sad!!

My zebra girls! Chloe is such a good big sister. She totally takes care of Aubrey and gives her everything she wants, even if it is having her shoes on with her jammas.

09/04/11

Chris sent me this picture. I LOVE her eyes in it!! Aubrey is really into bracelets and purses right now. It is super cute!!

09/05/11

We all went over to my mom's on Monday morning to have a surprise birthday breakfast for Jenny. It is hard to surprise someone though when you have so many little kids, they are hard to keep quiet. It was more like bombard her room with craziness!! But we all enjoyed Belgian waffles and crepes. YUM!

Happy 20th Birthday Jenny!!

Alex and Cooper having an after school snack.

09/07/11

After having to go grocery shopping all summer with all 5 kids, it is so nice to just have 2 again!!

09/08/11

The kids love to take the cushions off the couch to make beds and forts.

Today was Spirit Day at school. The kids could either have free dress or dress up as Super Heros. Chloe is my only one who wanted to dress up. I guess the boys are fuddy-duddies like their dad!!

He lost it!

We went over to my mom's on Monday afternoon for a Labor Day/ Jenny's birthday BBQ. Jordan and Amber surprised everybody and were there when we got there. Within a couple of minutes of us getting there Jordan pulled out Alex' tooth! He was so excited and didn't even cry.
Lucky for Alex the tooth fairy didn't forget to stop by and leave him some money that night!!

all about...

ALEX

As part of Alex's homework this week he had to complete this 'All About Me' poster, so I thought I would record his answers.

Alex is 6 years old.

His favorite color is red.

His favorite animal is a tiger.

His favorite food is chicken.

Jordan's house is his favorite place to be.

When he grows up he wants to be a soldier.

His favorite thing to do is play guns.

If he could wish for anything it would be a house.

(We do have a house, so I am not quite sure about this answer!)

365- Week 35

Chloe came to St. George with me and stayed with Reagan and Aubrey and the boys stayed home. Jenny watched them all day Saturday while Chris was working. She took them to the splash pad at Town Square, to get icees, and even set up the big water slide in the back and played with them.

08/28/11

I had to wake Chloe up super early to head back home. She was so tired, poor girl.

08/29/11

The first day back to school for the kids was a busy one for Aubrey and I. We had lots of errands to run and lots of back and forths from the school (you can see the "Visitor" sticker she has on). We made a quick stop at Grandma's in between some errands and getting the kids.

08/30/11

Every time I go to take a picture of my kids they make a funny face or throw up some sign with their hands. CRAZY kids!!

08/31/11

This is Chloe's favorite outfit she got for school. She says that it makes her look like a teacher!

09/01/11

Chris had the day off from work, so he took the kids to school. They were very excited!! Anytime somebody else besides me takes them or picks them up they are so happy.

09/02/11

Crappy phone picture. Pizza and swimming for some family time after a long week!

Labor Day/ Jenny's Birthday

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today we celebrated Grandma's 70th birthday!!

Back to school

Back to A, B, C 's and 1, 2, 3 's!

I L-O-V-E the beginning of the school year! A fresh start.

New pencils and back packs and shoes.

A NEW season!

The kids are at a new school this year. Grandma Karen works at Stuckey and got us a zone variance. There are alot of teachers from Reis there, so we are excited. Hopefully all the kids will get to finish up their elementary career here. I feel so bad that this is their third school. The school is new and beautiful, they have an awesome principal, so I am excited for this change. The kids have uniforms this year too. Wasn't so excited for them, but I think I am going to like it!

Our first morning went off without a hitch! My kids and I were up early and we had no rushing, we even got to school and found their lines with plenty of time to play. Hopefully the kids have a great year!!

I can't believe Nick is already a 3rd grader!!

Chloe so cute in her little school girl uniform! I think she was the most excited to start school.

Alex. It was sad for me to watch him line up all by himself. First grade is hard for me. They just seem too little to stay at school all day!! I cried! But he did great! He loves packing his lunch for school.

Coop-a-loop has one more year of preschool. He has the same teacher he started with when he turned 3, so he was very excited for that. Ms. McDonald is super nice! And the preschool doesn't have to wear uniforms, Nick is very jealous!
