Thanks Dad for our awesome suprise! We love our automoblox. We think they are so cool! Hatties favorite one is the white one, Porters favorite is the blue one, and Landen's favorite is mixing them all together.

In other news...I think premature balding has hit our house. (Notice Porters 3 bald spots on the side of his head.) Or it could have possibly been the fact that his older brother handed him mom's razor while they were in the shower after getting haircuts. I guess Porter thought his hair would look better this way. I am just grateful it was just his hair and my loffa and nothing else!

And last but surely not least...Hattie...I took Hattie to the doctor on Monday because she wasn't acting like she felt well. She was coughing, runny nose, and a slight fever The doctor checked her out and said she had a cold. She had a well child visit on Tuesday. She is now 5 months and she weighed 14lbs 15 oz. and was 25 inchs long. At the visit I had the doctor take another look at her because she still wasn't acting like she felt good. Well come to find out she has ear infections in both ears. She is starting to feel a lot better now that she is on amoxicillion only problem with that is now she has a nice rash on her pat00kie. At her visit they also thought there was a chance that she had developmental hip dysplasia. Today I took her to Childrens Hospital (For those of you that haven't been this hospital is amazing and the staff is so good!) to have an ultrasound done. She gave the doctors a pretty hard time. They kept saying wow she is really strong. I had to inform them that she does have 2 brothers so she has to be. The doctors said that everything looked normal which we were very grateful!. Hopefully now she is on the up and up and we can get some sleep around here!

When I have grown a foot or two...

I hope they call me on a mission, when I have grown a foot or two

I hope by then I will be ready to teach and preach and work as missionaries do.

I hope that I can share the gospel with those who want to know the truth

I want to be a missionary and serve and help the Lord while I am in my youth.

Things I've Learned

Some things that I have learned this pass week since Ty has been gone are...
1. The garbage in the house doesn't magically disappear
2. Garbage day is on Thursday
3. The garbage can doesn't take itself to the curb than back in the garage. (Hope we don't have a lot of garbage this week. Oops!
4. The Jeep doesn't always stay on full.
5. The gas goes in on the driver side.
6. Its really not fun to pump gas. (Your hands stink and its cold and boring to just stand there and wait.)
7. Laughing at my own jokes is not as fun as having Ty laugh at them:)
8. The mailman doesn't deliver the mail to my counter top.
9. Kids diapers don't stay clean after 5:00 P.M. (You actually have to change them.)
10. HOW MUCH TY DOES AROUND THE HOUSE! I LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO! Hope you have fun on your first flight!

Funniest Kids!

Posing for some pictures after bathtime.

Porter in his big boy undies! Yes we are going to start that long road, but I think he is ready for it.

Hattie in her new favorite chair. Hunny this is a bumbo.

Rice cereal anyone?

My favorite thing about our new place!

Yes that is Porter sleeping in the Jeep! This is really my favorite thing about our new house. If the kiddos fall asleep in the car I can just roll down a window and leave the garage door to the house open and I don't have to wake up the sleeping monster! (Porter is really a monster sometimes when he gets woken up.) We just got home from the store and Porter fell asleep and we had to go to a baptism and I didn't want a grumpy boy so sleep away Porter!

Happy Valentines!

Here are the final pictures of the Valentine cookies.

Porter was much more interested in eating the candy and licking the frosting off the knife then to decorate his cookie.

Landos Masterpiece!

The kiddos with their Valentine Suprises! The boys both got a box of Transformers Chocolates and Hattie got a lullaby soother in hopes that she would sleep! (P.S. It didn't help, but the boys love to watch it!)

I even got a special suprise at the door! These roses from the best hubby in the world! I even got to talk to him again today for 15 mins! Life was great today!! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TY! WE LOVE YOU!!

Enjoying the Snow!

Landen and Porter are getting ready for their snowball fight. The snow wasn't wet enough to form balls so it turned into a snow dust fight. They still had a lot of fun.

Because the snow was so soft we couldn't really get going to fast down the hill in front of our house so we headed out into the road where we could go a lot faster. Porter didn't want to let Landen have a turn because he was having way to much fun so the solution to the problem was putting Porter on Landens lap. They thought it was a lot of fun.

Trying to sled down our front hill.

Porter trying to shovel all the snow!
