Carrie Underwood Concert!!!

Carrie Underwood Concert was amazing!!!! Eric and I were able to go while Jeff and Erica watched the boys. Before Carrie came on the Sons of Sylvia and Craig Morgan sang. Both were really good acts. Right before Craig Morgan came on we saw a guy sit down on the last seat of our row (six seats down from us). I noticed he had an ear piece in his ear that looked like what singers wear in their ears when singing. A few seconds later he lifted up his mic and started singing. Sure enough it was Craig Morgan. During one of his songs he walked out into the crows again. He came right up by us again. Exciting!!







My pictures turned out really bad so I copied some a friend took. She had way better pictures than I did. I hope you don't mind Chelsea! Thanks!









I didn't think Carrie Underwood would come out into the crowd like Craig Morgan did. Instead she came out in this blue truck that came over the crowd. Kade would have really liked that if he had of been there.









It was so fun getting to see her. Next time she comes I am buying tickets as soon as they come out. I would love to see her in concert again!!!

Kade's First Primary Activitiy

Last Saturday Kade went to his first primary activity about King Benjamin. It's amazing how I think he is so big, but when I went to the activity I realized how little he still is. He was one of the littlest kids there. Here he is before we left. He was very excited!


When we arrived one of the leaders put a red piece of material around his arm. This meant he was in the red "family".  Each family had their own "tent".





After they picked their names and said their chant King Benjamin came to talk to them.


When King Benjamin was all done all of the children went to do service projects inside the church. They washed off chairs and tied quilts. Here is Kade washing off the chairs in the primary room. The little girl in this picture made sure Kade was with his "family" during the entire activity. When she would leave Kade would follow her. Very cute!


When they were done they played duck, duck, goose. Right before everyone left they were given an Otter Pot to eat. Yummy!



Kade had a fantastic time at his first activity. I think he will have even more fun when his brothers are old enough to join him :) Connor did go along with us on this one. He is just too little to participate.

Mother's Day Poem

When I’m a little old lady
Then I’ll live with my children and bring them great joy
to repay all I’ve had from each girl and boy
I shall draw on the walls and scuff up the floor;
run in and out without closing the door.
I’ll hide frogs in the pantry, socks under my bed
whenever they scold me, I’ll just hang my head.

I’ll run and I’ll romp, always fritter away
the time to be spent doing chores every day.
I’ll pester my children when they’re on the phone.
As long as they’re busy won’t leave them alone.
Hide candy in closets, rocks in drawers,
and never pick up my clothes from off the floor.

Dash off to the movies and not wash a dish.
I’ll plead for allowance whenever I wish.
I’ll stuff up the plumbing and deluge the floor,
as soon as they’ve mopped it, I’ll flood it some more.
When they correct me, I’ll lie down and cry,
kicking and screaming, not a tear in my eye.

I’ll take all their pencils and flashlights, and then
when they buy new ones, I’ll take them again.
I’ll spill glasses of milk to complete every meal,
eat my banana and just drop the peel.

Put toys on the table, spill jam on the floor,
I’ll break lots of dishes as though I was four;
What fun I shall have, what a joy it will be
To live with my children, like they lived with me!

Connor-10 weeks old!

Connor turned 10 weeks old today! He is starting to smile, a lot!! He is an incredibly happy baby. He is sleeping from 7-3 every night. He loves watching his brothers. Kade and Kyle can make him laugh and smile. At his 2 month well check up he weighed 10.5 lbs. (10%), height 23.5 inches (25%), and his head was in the 50%. I really hope he jumps up in the height category. I really don't want any of our boys to have my short genes. Overall, I love having a happy, smiley baby! He is completely adorable!!! We love you!





Our new house!

Now that our blog is private I am not worried about posting pictures of our home. Here is our new home. It has been nice moving into a bigger house. The hot Vegas summer's will be a little bit more enjoyable now that we have a pool. The boys love the room to run and play in. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we walk to a park close by. They LOVE it!



Like the dolphins in the pool? Kade likes to pretend he is a dolphin or fish when he is in the bathtub now. 






Here is Kyle being a dare devil!



Running and playing in grass!!!! 
We didn't have grass in our last house :(


Eric really likes the pool too! He likes to come home, make sure the pool is clean, and, now that the weather is heating up, take a swim.

The Boys!!

Connor and Kyle had their well check ups a couple weeks ago. 

Connor: 
weight-9 lbs. (50%), height-21.5 inches (50%), head-(10%)
Everybody loves Connor. He is starting to laugh and smile at the boys. They love to fight over him. However, Kyle does sometimes get a little upset when I am holding him. Mostly when he is tired or hungry. He is still waking up between 2-3 times a night. Other than that he is an incredibly easy and mellow baby. He likes to lay on the ground and watch his crazy brothers run around. Sometimes when he can't see them he tilts his head upward and looks like he is about to roll over. I was worried about having three so close in age, but it has been fun so far. What a cutie patootie!!

  
Kyle:
weight-21.5 lbs (10%), height-31.5 inches (50%), head-(10%)
*Kyle is really adorable right now. I don't know if it is just because of his age, his personality, or both. He loves to laugh and smile. He likes to make us laugh and smile too. 
*Kyle looks up to Kade and always wants to play with what he has. If Kade has left the room Kyle will start playing with what Kade had. When Kade enters the room he runs away or tries to hide. It is really funny to watch. Not funny for Kade though. 
*He loves to dance....in circles. He tries to sing while he is dancing. He will make his voice go high and than low. 
*He really loves his daddy!! He is excited every time he comes home. 
*He can say many words such as ball, nigh (for night night), ni (for nice), dog, mama, dada, boo, bye, hi, and hot. I think "mine" and "no" are his favorite two words. He is learning how to say "more" and "all done" in sign language. 
*He likes to go on walks and to the park in our new stroller. 
*He loves to give hugs and kisses to Connor....and Chloe.
*Kyle's favorite objects to play with is the vacuum, anything in our bathroom, any cooking tools, almost anything he is not suppose to have. 
*He loves to be outside. 
*He really likes to snuggle and cuddle (when he wants to). 
*He folds his arms for prayers....for about five seconds and than is up running around.
*He loves to eat. I feel like I am feeding him constantly.


Here he is with his favorite teddy bear. It is the only thing he gets really defensive with. He doesn't let anybody else have it. If they do he starts to get upset and says "mine".


This is his towel. He LOVES taking baths. When he gets out of the bathtub I tell him the little puppy dog needs to get dressed. I think he thinks he is really cute in the towel too because he laughs and smiles when he looks in the mirror. 


Swinging, smiling, and laughing.

Kade:
Kade didn't have his well check up. He only gets them yearly now. But I wanted to write down a few things he likes. 
*He LOVES his cars. He has a ton of cars. He likes to drive them on our bed which he says is his "road". 
*He LOVES cell phones. If you have a phone, watch out. Kade will make sure he holds it for you. 
*His favorite movies and shows to watch is UP, Scooby-Doo, the Chipmunks, CARS, Sesame Street, Agent Oso, Handy Manny, and Mickey Mouse.
*He use to be afraid of putting his face under water but since we got the pool he is getting use to it. 
*He is extremely helpful to me. 
*He is protective of his stuff, but will, most of the time, share.
*He is getting really good at saying his prayers.
*He still loves to have books read to him. 
*He knows all of his shapes, most of the numbers from 1-10, alphabet, and colors. I have tried to teach him how to write the alphabet, but he doesn't seem that interested right now. He can write a C, T, and H.
*When I am emptying out the dishwasher he will put the silverware away. He has started to help me put the other items away too. 
*When done eating he will throw his bowl and spoon in the sink.

I absolutely LOVE my three boys!!!
Cute pictures of the boys. 


Here is a cute one of just Kade and Connor. 
Kade and Kyle like to fight over who is going to hold him.


When we go to the park Kyle likes to run towards the parking lot. I asked Kade to bring him back. When I turned around this is what I saw.


Even though they like to fight, they still love each other.


Playing together at a different park by our old house.
