TiMe FLYS!!

2 MoNtHs OlD!!

WOW! Karston turned 2 months old on the 22nd, and I can't even believe it! I know I say this every time, but time really does fly!! He is such a fun little baby. He is now smiling a lot more, and is trying to talk! I love all the baby sounds he makes! He is starting to only wake up once a night, sometimes twice, and I am so glad! He sure does love to be held and snuggled with all the time! It's hard to get stuff done, but that's okay. He will take good long naps on his own too!

Yesterday he went to the Doctors and got his immunizations (SO SAD) and everything looks great! He is getting strong and is way more alert.

weight: 10.4 pounds (25th percentile)

Height: 22 inches (25th percentile)


So he is a growing boy, but a little growing boy! Poor kid, he is going to be so mad at us for being so short! Hopefully he won't be that short though! Jay already feels bad for him...but I bet he will won't be that short!


Karston before his shots and the doctors! So sad, he didn't even know what was coming! (look at those dimples!!!)

And here he is after at home.

VaLeNtInEs DaY!!

OuR VaLeNtInEs DaY!!!!
Better late than never huh? Our Valentines was pretty chill! We got the kids some presents, which was fun watching them open everything! I got Jaydyn and Saydey each a huge hershey kiss, and it was so funny watching them try to eat this huge chunk of chocolate! We also got the girls each a swimming suit, a dress, shoes, a teddy bear, and some Valentine candy! Karston got some jammies, a couple sweaters and some sockies! The girls loved it! Jay and I were staining doors and trim in the basement most of the day...JOY! Jay got me some gorgeous flowers that I absolutly love! Then we went out to dinner with Dani and Corey and all of our kiddos. It was a blast hanging out with the whole family this year. Jay and I decided not to get eachother anything too much since we are re-carpeting our whole house with in the next week or so!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! And I kinda also bought myself a new swimming suit and a chi straightner...which I am on my third one!!! Can you believe that? Oh well, I needed it soooooo bad! So that sums up our little Love Day!!




Don't mind the no make-up, workin clothes, and horrible hair!!


The Girlies!




This is Saydey eating calamari at dinner, and she loved it! It was so funny watching her try to bite it.

I HaVe BeEn TaGgEd...TwIcE!! THANKS NICOLE AND DANI

I am supposed to list 6 random things about me...and let me tell ya, it wasn't too easy, but here it goes!

1. I have to make my bed everyday! It drives me crazy not too! If for some reason I didn't make it by the time it was bedtime...I will make it before I get into it! Sometimes I will even make it with Jay in the bed!! There is just something I love about getting into nice smooth sheets! The best is right when they are washed and getting into them that night! Oh I love it!! If I could, I would wash my sheets every night, I so would! I don't really have time to do it every night though, darn it!

2. I love love love my baths!! I will take 3 baths a day sometimes, if it's just to get warm, or to relax or to get clean or to read a book! Yes...i will fill my big bathtub 3 times! But usually it's just twice, once in the morning and then once at night! I also love me some good shaved legs when I jump into my nicely made bed!! Nothing better!! I think I will get in when I am done with this post =)

3. I am so picky when it comes to cleaning my house! I usually have to organize it and put stuff away...so it is where it goes! I love it when Jay helps me, but then it drives me nuts when I can't find something or when I see stuff where it's not suppose to be! Now I know how Jay feels! He never knows where anything is around here because he never puts it away where it's suppose to go, and then I do! Funny...I love a clean house!

4. I love to organize and to be organized! I wish I was more organized at times! I feel like I can never be too organized though...there is always organizing to do somewhere! It's hard though with 3 kiddos 4 and under! Nothing never stays organized, so in some way, I am always organizing! Hahaha...I just said organize way too much!!

5. I love to work in my yard during the summer!! I love planting flowers and watching them grow...and not killing them!! I am still learning, but Aubrey has taught me most of what I know! Thanks Aubs!! I have tons of her starts in my yard from her yard!! I still have lots to learn, but it sure is fun!! I don't love all the weeding, an stuff, and with all the flower beds we have, weeding pretty much sucks! Jay mows the lawn which is nice...I dont love doin that either!

6. I'm spoiled...it's true!! I will admit it, Jay spoils me rotton! He is an amazing man! He suprises me all the time! Christmas's are ridiculous, birthdays are so fun, and anniversary's when it's his year...incredable! Lucky for me, he is in charge this year for our 5th year in March!! We probably won"t do anything crazy, since we are finishing our basement right now...but it's the little things he does too! He is the most caring, forgiving, honost, sensitive, sweet guy I know! He wants me to get what I want and he sure doesnt complain when it wasn't the cheapest thing too! Gosh...I am starting to sound like a brat! He just doesn't ask and complain whenever I go out and buy things or stuff like that! He just lets me do my thing! But he also does his thing too! He will just send me flowers, or tells me that it's going to be okay when I am having a bad day, or just calls during his busy, crazy days to tell me he loves me! Almost 5 years and 3 kids later...we are still madley in love with eachother which is how it is suppose to be! I am just lucky to have him in my life!

So there ya have it! I really had to think about this post! It was kind of hard for me! I guess I just really had to think!

I am going to tag...Kariann, Amy, Aubrey, Alicia, Rachel, and Veena!

WhAt'S BeEn GoIn On??

Well, we haven't been up to too much lately! Just tryin to figure this 3 kid thing out! Ya know, gettin the routine down...and it's been going pretty well! It's not as bad as I imagined! Jaydyn still gets to school and dance on time, I have to set my alarm at 7 on Sunday to be at church by 9, and we haven't been late to that either! So other than it takes longer to get out of the house and my house never stays clean...we are doing good! The whole "keep your house clean" thing...yeah well that doesn't work!! I can clean all day and still not have a clean house! I just go in circles with those two messy little girls and with Karston needing me here and there, it's pretty much impossible! Oh and I love me a clean house, so that's been a tough one to deal with! Our basement is almost finished, so when we get all the toys and crap down there to their playroom, I will be one happy mama!! Can't wait!




We took the kids swimming at the Legacy center on Monday night, which was fun! The girls had a blast! Jay and I kept taking turns watching Karston! He slept most of the time in his carseat, so he was a good boy!

There's only one of Jaydyn because she was just having too much fun to pose for pictures!



We HaVe A ThUmB SuCkEr!!


Yes...Karston loves sucking his little thumb! When he doesn't have his binkey, he is tryin to find his thumb!! I think it is soooo cute right now...I just hope he kicks the habit when he is older!! My mom trys to put his thumb in his mouth because she just thinks it's too cute! We were all gettin mad at her though, cuz it won't be cute for long!! He sure is a fun little baby! I just can't believe how much he loves to suck. I forgot his binkey when I took Jaydyn to dance today, and boy was he mad! I felt horrible! He cryed himself to sleep, and it didn't take too long, but it was just so sad!




He is full on sucking his thumb!




Trying to find it...



And found it!!
