Hooray for crawling!

So Quin has finally learned how to crawl, forward that is. Shes been going at it for a while now but has been going backwards. She finally figured out the forward motions of it all and is everywhere. I'm not going to lie, I was getting worried there for a while because Nixon learned right at eight months and was doing stairs by about ten months. So I'm hoping Quin catches up. I'm sure she will. Shes so much happier now that she can keep up with all of the other kids and play with them. She got a little frustrated there for a while cause she wanted to get around so bad and she would just get mad scream, not cry, but scream. I know, we've got a screamer on our hands. Anyways. . . Hooray for crawling!

A Day at the Park!

Today was a pretty good day. It started off kind of weird but turned out okay. Ty and I had plans to go to St George to see our friends that are moving Tuesday to Pennsylvania. Ty was going to go golf with Kenny and I was going to go see Lacey. Right as soon as we were getting ready to leave I got a text from Lacey saying that her little boy was sick and it just wasn't going to be a good day to hang out. So Ty ended up going and I stayed home and did some much needed cleaning and rearranging. Which I do quite often cause I like change. Anyways. . . It all was good cause I got to see my nephew, Ripken, and my sister in law. They were in town for her six week check up. So Tracy, Candice, my mom, all of our kids and I went and had lunch at the park. It was really fun. For some reason Nixon needed his shirt off so all of the other kids needed theirs off and they were pretty cute(above pic). Nixon is not quite sure about the big slides, so he will go to the top, sit down, and act like hes going to go, but just ends up standing up and going to the next slide and repeats the process. We all have our kids trained when it comes to taking pics. They have all learned to say cheese when someone is taking there pics. Its pretty funny and they do it all the time. You can tell in some of these pictures that they are saying it. Its and automatic "cheeeeeeese" when someone pulls out a camera. Anyways. . . Tys parents were able to bring him back from St George, they came and hung out with kids and they brought Tys cousins, Ike and Kennady, so Nixon was in heaven. So all and all, the day turned out pretty good and we had fun.

114%

I took Quin to her 9 month Dr. appointment on Tuesday and like all the others, it was no surprise to hear the results of her growth. We are proud to announce that she is once again OFF the charts. She currently resides in the 114 percentile in her overall growth. She weighed in at 22.3 lbs and is 28 inches long. I will say that I give most of the credit to my "healthy" ways of eating when I'm pregers. Theres nothing like starting your child off on m&m's and Pepsi's. You know your kids are going to be healthy when your placenta is as big or bigger than the baby. Anyways. . . I think she is a doll and cant wait to see where she will be when she turns 1!

3 Years & 2 Kids later. . .

On Tuesday (Aug 5th) was mine and Tys three year anniversary. We left our kids with his mom in St George and headed to mesquite. We ended up going to a movie, Wanted, which I loved. I love assassin movies, spy movies etc. . . It makes me want to be one. Anyways, after the movie we went to wal-mart to hangout for a minute. We were going to go swim but it was raining so hard when we got out of the movie, that obviously wasn't going to work. The next morning I went and got a massage and Ty went to hit range balls. After that we went back to St George to get our kids and ended up staying the whole day. It was my first anniversary not pregers. Which was nice. It was a short trip but badly needed. I cant believe we've been married three years and have two babies. How time flys! I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Breaking Dawn!

The wait is finally over. I got the book, read the book, and loved the book. Of course I had to hit a midnight release party of the book along with some friends and my sister in law, Nichole. We had a good time. We hit up Applebees before and then went to Mountain West Books. Let me just tell ya that we were the most normal people there. I almost don't feel like a true "twilighter" after being there. There were some freaks. And I mean that in the nicest way. Though it took me a little longer to read this one than it did the other three, i still enjoyed it. There has been quite the controversy over it and alot of things that people didn't expect but that's what makes a good book. Like I read somewhere, it has the ending that everyone wanted. I'm not going to go as far and say that it was my favorite out of the series but it was up there. I'm super stoked for the movie and I'm somewhat glad the series is over. Like most, Ive neglected, well, my life while I read. It was a good read and I am so glad to be a "twilghter"!
