Sleep!!!!!

Image
I got sleep!!!! Last week and this week, April has slept consistently 5-7 hours a night. Last night I had to wake her up @ 5:30am b/c I was too full. She slept from 10:15pm to 5:30am.... HOORAY!!!!! There is hope for a 7 week old. :) Jacolena loves to strip herself down to nothing. I now have to put onesie's on her so she doesn't be half naked every day. Joys of a "stripper". It has been a cold spring. Two days ago the high was 56 degrees and it is the end of May. We went for a walk and had to dress pretty warm b/c the sun wasn't out. I guess that is what we get for living in Utah. Oh and this a cute picture of Jared smiling.   Here are some other cute pictures. April loves to fall asleep on T's had like that. The girls love to play "babies" together. Finally the are playing somewhat good together. :)  

Funny Faces and Skirts

Funny Quote that I can remember: Marissa: "Mommy, when I get bigger... I will grwow. I will get marweed in the temple. I will have a baby, and, and I will get milk. " You know she is watching me nurse.   I had April smiling the other day and tried to catch it on camera.   Miss Jacolena has pig tails finally. Not much hair but hey I finally can do it. :)   These skirts are for some girls in our old ward. I am so proud that I got these done in less than a week with four kids. We traded favors with them: they babysat for us while we got to go out. It was great! Thanks Heather R. for loaning your girls for a night. Speaking of Heather... if you want to save money with coupons here is her website: savvysistershops.blogspot.com

  Jared feel asleep after throwing a tantrum b/c he didn't have his pacifier. Guess he doesn't need it b/c he feel asleep behind the door. :)  

Found my Camera Card!!!

  I finally found my Camera Card!!! Jare Bear has this wierd bump on his nose that is red and it is out the side of the nose. His nose is swollen and the doctor thinks he might have broken or fractured it. He bumped it really hard 2.5 months ago but the doctor thinks the bump is in odd spot. So we are going to see a specialist (ENT) to see what it really is. Crunch, Crunch Story I had to nurse April during church and I needed to take one of the other kids so Troy would not be by himself with all three kids. I decided to take Jare Bear. I took a ziploc bag of Captain Crunch. While I was nursing he dumped the entire bag of cereal on the floor then smashed most of them into the carpet. After having fun with that he tried to eat then non-smashed ones. It kept him happy and busy. The annoying part was I had to clean it up after I got done nursing April. Oh well. :)

May sickness/ Mother's Day

Well... we skipped any sickness in April. Thank goodness b/c April was born and we didn't get sick before or after she was born. We haven't entirely skipped being sick this month. Jared has some kind of weird virus that has inflamed his tonsils, high fever, the shakes and not wanting to eat. Luckily with Motrin he his ok. On top of that he has Eczema on his torso and a bump on his nose from a fall 2 months back. Poor guy... at least he is feeling better this afternoon. Mother's Day: Let just say it was a hard day for me. On the good note: Troy fixed a WONDERFUL dinner on Saturday night, steak, potatoes, carrot cake and other yummmy stuff. Then we had it again on Sunday. Yumm. On the bad note: the twins were horrible at church. Jacolena was really fussy and tired.... Jare Bear was not going to hold still the entire time. At these times during church I sometimes think, "Why I am here" but then I realize with "youngins" it is better to be there t...
