Birthday Suit

This morning I was cleaning up the living room and talking to Val and Ashton was playing around the house going outside into the backyard. I wasn't really watching him much and I happened to look outside and he was standing at the back door naked. He had taken off all his clothes and his diaper and he thought it was so funny. He took off running away from me when I went to get him to bring him into the house to put his diaper back on. I had to grab the camera and take some pictures. He's such a stinker.

Reality TV

I love this show called John and Kate plus Eight. It follows the everyday life of a family with a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. When I watch it I keep thinking 3 kids seems like a piece of cake compared with 8 kids six of them who are 3 years old. Anyway its just funny to watch all the crazy stuff they go through on a regular basis.

Our Visitor

Doug's mama is staying with us for 2 weeks to visit. It's nice visiting with her. We used to see her at least once a week when we lived in St. George but since we moved to Phoenix we haven't seen her in like 9 months. Aidan is very helpful with her. He will take her hand and help her to the couch or to the kitchen table. We're glad she came to spend some time with us. On Sunday we went to Doug's uncle and aunt Art and Angie's house and had dinner. Doug's cousins were there also and it was nice to see them again.

On the Move

Kaelyn is on the move. Not crawling but rolling. I laid her on the floor on a blanket and I was just cleaning up my room not watching her too much and the next thing I notice is that she is off of the blanket. Then I saw her roll over onto her back and then back over onto her tummy. It was so cute I had to take some pictures. She was also having a crazy hair day.

Mmm Peas

Kaelyn had her first taste of peas the other day. She didn't seem to like them much at first but she's eating them fine now. I am trying not to buy any jars of baby food. I am going to make all of her food. So far I've only done peas :)

Rub a dub

I just thought I would post some pictures of Kaelyn's bath. She's such a cutie!

Ouch!

The other day Doug was holding Kaelyn on the couch when Ashton climbed onto the armrest of the couch and jumped onto Doug's lap and smacked Kaelyn right in the head. She had a red spot on the middle of her forehead that I thought would turn into a bruise but it didn't. She didn't hardly cry. She's such a trouper. There are some pictures we tried to take of her head but you can't really see the red spot.

Buzzzzz

On Saturday Doug buzzed the boys hair. They were getting kinda shaggy and were due for a cut. I think Ashton looks so cute with his short hair. Less like a toddler and more like a boy. He hated getting his hair buzzed. He cried and wiggled around like crazy. I'm sure he will get used to it eventually. Aidan on the other hand sits nice and still and lets Doug buzz his hair and its done nice and quick. What a good boy!

My Double Stroller

I love my double stroller! I highly recommend it for anyone out there who is looking for a double stroller. It is the Phil and Ted sport stroller. I also have the Maclaren twin which is a side by side stroller and it is nice and pushes easily but I had a hard time getting around in the stores at the mall even big department stores like Dillards because the clothes racks are kind of close together. I had to have my mom go with me to the mall so she could wait outside the store or in the aisle with the kids in the stroller so I could look at the clothes.That wasn't any fun. I am not a big fan of the long strollers either. Yuck. Anyway so I came across this super sweet stroller at USA Baby and put the kids in it and pushed it around and I loved it. It looks like a jogging stroller with one wheel in the front and it can be a single or a double stroller. If you buy the doubles kit it comes with a seat that attaches to the back. I've included pics of it. Anyway just had to put that out there.

The Kids

Just thought I would share whats going on with the kids.
Aidan is in all day kindergarten and really likes it (most of the time). He's made some friends and he likes to take an extra snack in his lunch for his best friend Diego. He is in the top of his class (which unfortunately doesn't mean much at this particular school) and is doing pretty good sounding out words for reading. He is also good at writing. He loves to play the wii, especially zelda and don't get him started talking about it or you'll be sorry.
Ashton is into everything. If you leave something on the counter where he can reach it he will grab it and hide. He is so sneaky sometimes you won't even notice it missing until you see him with it, whatever it may be. Usually its food, he's a good eater. I swear he eats all day. He's really into cars right now and always carries one or two around with him. He loves watching Little Einsteins and playing outside. He is a very big boy. At his 2 yr check up he was 32 lbs and 38 1/4 in. tall.
Kaelyn is so sweet and always smiles at everyone. She is always laughing at the boys, she really loves her brothers. She is a pretty easy baby just fussy when she is tired or hungry and she sleeps well too. She seems so small to me, probably because the boys were such big babies, she was only like 12 lbs at her 4 month check up. I swear Ashton was that big when he was born, at least it seemed like it when I was pushing him out, he was such a chunk.

Ready For School

So this is what I get when Doug dresses the kids. He put Aidan in Ashton's pants. HAHA. When Aidan came downstairs this morning I noticed that his pants were looking a little short and I know he hasn't outgrown them yet. It took me a second to realize that they were Ashton's pants. Doug hadn't even noticed that the pants were too short when he had Aidan put them on. That's Doug for you. :)
