I Blame It On Being Preggo...

Yesterday at church I locked my kid in the car...for almost 30 minutes....I blame it on being preggo....because I can't really be that horrible of a mom....can I?!?

Sleeping On The Job...

So I just HAD to post these pictures because I NEVER get any pictures like this! Kohen has never fallen asleep in his high chair, or in his jumper, or his saucer, or any weird place like that. I love when little kids fall asleep in funny places, but Ko is just the kind of kid to only sleep in his bed. So anyway, the other morning we got home from the grocery store and he wanted to swing while I was bringing the groceries in. So he swung while I took the groceries in ( I left the back door open of course so I could hear him and watch him ). He wanted to swing more, so I would go out and push him a few times and then go inside to put all the groceries away. When he would slow down he would call out "Mommy...swing!", and I would go out and push him more. After swinging for about 15 minutes I could hear the swing slow down again, but he didn't call my name. I went outside and this is what I found...

The poor kid had the tightest little grip on the ropes! I had to pry his white knuckles off them!

Welcome Baby Alexandria!

Our newest family member is finally here!! My oldest brother Rob and his wife Tyra welcomed their little girl into the world on Saturday, April 11th. She weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 inches long! Tyra and Alex are doing great! They are currently living in Pocatello, so we haven't been able to meet this sweet little one yet, but we hope to meet her very soon! Congrats Rob and Tyra! We love you!

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great holiday! Our day was pretty full. Right after church we went to Dustin's aunt's house for our first easter egg hunt of the day. Kohen loved it! He is so obsessed with being outside and he loves that he can just run free, so halfway through the hunt, he decided to just book it as fast as he could! Such a little stinker!

After that we headed to my parent's house for another hunt. I told my mom a few days before that I didn't want her to put candy in all the eggs because Ko didn't need a lot of candy. But he was too smart for his mommy! Before he would put any of the eggs in his basket, he would shake them to make sure there was something in them! If they were empty, he would just through them back on the grass!

We had such a great day with all of our family! I am so thankful for the Easter holiday and everything that it represents. I am so grateful to our Savior and for all the sacrifices that he made for us, so that we could all come to this earth. I hope everyone's Easter Sunday was spent with the people that they love!

Poor Little Guy

This little guy is always playing with something he's not suppossed to...On Sunday I gave Ko a haircut. I use clippers on most of his hair, and I use Dustin's beard trimmer to cut around his ears. I finished his hair and put him in the shower. I got him out and started to dry him off. He spotted Dustin's beard trimmer and grabbed it and took off. He ran into the family room to show Dustin that he had gotten ahold of his clippers....remember, he is still naked at this point. Then all of the sudden for some reason he turned them on, grabbed his little weener, and took the clippers to it!!!! We all just stood there and looked at the poor kid in amazement! He dropped the clippers and grabbed his poor little thingy and sat on Dustin's lap and just started crying! There were five little bloody cuts all the way up his weeny! It was so sad! I have decided against posting a picture of it...kiddy porn??!! Once I wiped it off it didn't look bad at all, but to make Ko feel better, I put some neosporin on it before I put his diaper on.
Poor little guy!

On another note...
Kohen has learned a new little phrase! Whenever he drops something or something happens that he doesn't want to happen, he says....OH DAMMIT!! Yep, we sure know how raise a well-mannered little boy! Dustin has finally decided that he really needs to learn to watch what he says around our little sponge!

SoMe AdViCe...

NEVER NEVER EVER vaccuum up Cumin with your vaccuum or Dust Buster! Even after putting it in the dishwasher and washing it TWICE, my Dust Buster still smells like B.O.!!!! I think it just might be time to invest in a new one!!

SWIMMING!

The last few weeks I've had SPRING FEVER so bad!! I've really wanted to go swimming lately, so the other day my sister and I took our kids swimming. The water could have been a little warmer, but it really wasn't too bad once you got in! Ko hated it at first, of course, but after about five minutes, he really started to enjoy it! Maybe it was because his Aunt Jenn was holding him most of the time...he is obsessed with his aunts...I think he loves them all more than me! I also loved how much it tired all the kids out :)! I think this is going to be an almost weekly routine from now on!!
