I finally got a picture of her smiling. She does this kind of smile each morning we go in and get her out of bed. She sure loves attention. In this picture she is trying to sit up by using her elbows. She is really a mover. I hope she isnt an early walker. We will see. I just love her, and my boys too. 
So its only 10 in the morning and I already have a headache! My kids tried to play the stupid xbox before school, which is a no, no in our house, then they tried to eat crackers for breakfast and got mad when I told them no. All 3 boys would not leave Rylee alone so she was crying. None of the boys were dressed and we only had about 20 minutes before we had to leave for school. Then as we were going out the door Dallin had a break down because the gloves (that he used last winter) were all of a sudden to big. My neighbor has heard me yell at least 2 times by now, so she probably thinks I am a horrible mom. (She has 2 boys and I never hear her yelling! Maybe she will trade a boy or 2 with me?) So we actually make it to school on time, by some small miracle! So I am back at the car and I put Rylee in first and then move the stroller to the back of the car (where it cannot be seen from the driver seat) take Corey out and put him in his seat. THEN, no I did not back up, I just drove away and left my stroller there. Somehow from the time I took Corey out of the stroller and put him in his seat I forgot all about the stroller. Maybe it is a really good thing I took Rylee out first or she probably would have been sitting there watching me drive away. So I get home and take the kids out of the car, still have no idea that I left the stroller back at school, and my friend drives up and tells me she has a Christmas present for me. She goes to the back of her car and takes out a stroller that looks just like mine and I say to her, "hey we have the same exact stroller." What a DORK I am. She looks at me and starts to laugh. Then tells me that she watched me drive away from the school with my poor stroller sitting there all alone! Then I start to laugh when I realized what I did. Again, it isn't even noon yet and I feel like it is the end of the day because I already have a headache. Usually I don't get a headache until the end of the day. Wow! I would love to go back to bed. The bright side is that I still have a stroller, that I did not back up over, and a friend (Mele) who takes care of me! What would we do without friends and family?
I was waiting in the car for Boyd and Dallin to get out of school today. While the three of us (Rylee, asleep in the back, Corey and myself) sat in the car I started to think about how fast time has flown by. It seems just like yesterday that Alex and I got married then moved to Sun City, CA and then had Boyd. I hate to admit it but, I cannot remember much of Dallin as a baby. I remember having him of course but in the middle of moving to Utah some how I forgot so much. Not to mention I was pregnant with Corey while in the middle of our move to Utah. The move to Utah is a story in itself, one I care not to relive, EVER! Anyway, with all these thoughts in my head I decided to pull the camera out and take some shots of Corey before I started to forget all of the memories of him growing up. So here is my little camera shy monster. Enjoy!!! 
Our good friend Josh Alfaro took some(no, actually he took many) pictures of our family. This is a big deal for us. Alex and I have been married for 8 years and we have never had a family picture of us or our family. So I finally got my way. Here are some of the fun pictures. 
Rylee's first real girls night out. She was a perfect angel while we watched our long awaited Twilight! I loved the movie and it was all I had hoped for. I loved all the characters. For all those that did not like it, well that is their loss! I want to read the books over again. Alex says, "oh great". He is glad that I have something that I really like though. 
Waiting for the movie to start!!
Maile and Emma! We love you!
Lah dee dah...
Is that for me?
What? Really that is for me?
That was fun.
Wait a second!
What is that cr... I mean stuff?
You want me to eat that?
Okay, I'll try it again.
Umm, let me think.
That was worse the second time!
I'm done!
No thank you, I'll stick to milk!
I took Rylee for her 4 month check up. She was all smiles until she got her shots. She weighs 14 pounds 10 ounces. What a little chunker. Look at those legs!
She is the first of our 4 kids to run a fever from shots. She was grumpy for 2 days. She didn't sleep well and you know what that meant for me. She seems to be over her bad mood from the shots. Until the next time. Yeah me!
Rylee loves to look at books while being read to. She reaches for the page and tries to grab the objects. This is one of 2 girl books that we own. Pink is so fun.
Well, its that time of year again and I have to admit it is not my favorite time of the year. All though the kids just think it is great so that does help make it more exciting. It wouldnt be so bad if it just didnt last so long. It could be worse so I will enjoy it. The car had to be wipped off twice before I took the kids to school. What fun!
The boys were so excited to put on some of their snow clothes to wear to school.
I think winter is for the kids and maybe for some you big kids out there.
