Last night Matt and I were watching T.V in bed and playing with Belle when she decided she was going to start laughing! OH man it was the cutest thing EVER! She was all giddy for about 5 minutes! I really wish I had my camera handy to catch it but im sure we will get a lot of it soon! She is such a happy smiley baby!

I am so excited again to have 2 of my sisters having a baby within a year of me! The first time we were all pregnant was 5 years ago. There was four of us that time ending up with 2 boys and 2 girls. This time Ariane and Jessica is having the boys and I of course had another beautiful girl!

Anyway I thought I would share a couple of pics of my cute family.

Here is baby Parley who weighed in at 10 pounds 12 ounces when he was born! my Belle was about the same size as him at the time! lol! he is such a cute baby! we had to compare the 2. this is him at 1 week old! and Izy is 2 1/2 mnths!

Jessica is due the end of May! She is the Baby sis in our family having her first baby!! woot! SO FUN!

I just love holidays! I love the fact that I get paid for staying home or if I choose to work it is double time and a half!

Well today I was just going to stay home and be a bum to try to get over this annoying cold that I got. Well at 10am I got a call from a girl in my ward inviting me to go with a group of them to ChuckECheese's for lunch. So I told my kids we were going and they instantly started screaming and wondering whos birthday it was. I told them we were celebrating Martin's Bday:)

They do not get to go do things like this very often with our tight budget, but I got some pretty sweet coupons online that made it doable")

All the woman that came had a daughter that was Aubs age and another child 1yr old. So it was pretty funny when I walked in with my FIVE children LOL! AND we are all the same age.. man am I a little ahead of the norm! But we had so much fun and it was really nice to have Sammantha with me to take Haven around to play games. Isabelle just sat in my arms the whole time so it was great.

I then went to my sisters house to compare our cute babies so I will have to get those pics posted eventually. It will be so much fun when they get bigger. My kids really miss living with Annie because of all the additional toys there are lol. Annie looks FANTASTIC and seeing her today made me want to lose weight sooo bad! So I am going to be better! She is such an inspiration!

So tomorrow I get to have another day off to catch up on the house cleaning and hopefully make it to the gym!

I just LOVE these kids!! Having 4 girls is soooo much fun and I think I will FOREVER have a spiderman!:)

Teeth

A month ago the kids had their dentist appointments to get their teeth cleaned.

Since Sammantha is 8 now they did her first panoramic x-ray ...which uncovered her canine teeth were heading straight into the roots of her permanent ones so the Dr. said we would need to pull 4 of her teeth!! POOR girl! she has the WORST teeth in the world and the worst luck! so to prevent major dental problems in the future we got them pulled yesterday.

She was the best patient! She of course got the laughing gas and did not even notice them giving her shots! I wish I was there to take some pics or video, but I was working all day so the Hubbs took her. I was sick to my stomach the whole time not knowing what was happening...anyway she did wonderful and Matthew took good care of her and let her stay in our bed and watch the boob tube all day! ") The tooth fairy didnt make it to our house last night which I am glad because I would have not gotten pics of these narly teeth!

WOW! 2 months no post! So many things have gone on since then.

First we moved yet again! Living with my sister was SO nice but all the kids were needing their own space, so we moved to a home a few streets away from Annie!! We love being close again to family.

Second, my sweet Sammantha was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints!!! It was so awesome! She looked beautiful.

Third, I developed De Quervain's tenosynovitis while prego with Isabelle...it was very painful to even type on the computer...I had surgery December 11th to fix the problem...since then I am almost pain free!!

Fourth, two days after my surgery Isabelle was fevering so her Dr. sent us to primarys. It was the scariest thing I have gone through yet with a baby. She was 6 weeks old and they had to rule out meningitis. She screamed for 3 hours while they poked and prodded her. The results were rhino virus!! seriously!! a spinal tap for that so sad! So they let us go home after just 24 hours.

Fifth, I returned back to work....And it is so hard yet so nice to get away a couple days a week. My sweet brother watches all the peeps and they all have a blast with him!

Sixth, christmas of course! We had such a blast watching the kids open gifts and play with each other. We had our annual Ballard breakfast with of course the WORKS!, waffles, bacon, sausage,cranberry salad, eggs, eggnog with 7up and of course ham! So yummy!! I love my inlaws.

Seventh, we potty trained Haven...for about 2 weeks. She then decided it was to scary to go in the toilet and held it in so long she was throwing up! So back to diapers and currently still working on it. But she has been healthy as a bug since her tonsils were takin out!! BEST THING WE EVER DID!!

Eighth, last Thursday I woke up not feelin so great but went and did my cycle class anyway. I came home went to get in the shower and noticed my BRIGHT red right nurser side! I called my mom and she said I have most likely mastitis...SERIOUSLY!! I was going down hill fast, so i called my ob and they called in some meds for me since I now could not move! 2 hours later I was able to crawl into the van and drive to walgreens. I dont recall much of that day but am sure grateful for a hubby that took care of me!

Ninth, Sunday we were called to the ward activities committee! WOW much different than primary that we've known for the last 6 years lol! We are both really excited though! Our new ward is sooo awesome and this is gonna be a nice way to get to know everyone.

Last but not least Tenth is our 6 year journey of school for Matthew began Monday...He passed his test to become a certified pharmacy technician so the extra income will be nice to put him through school.

Hopefully I can get pictures posted of my cute family! And I hope everyone had a merry christmas and a happy new year!
