2 Month

So I took Tate to the doctor's office today for his Well Visit.  Yeah my little boy is growing way to fast.  For anyone who didn't know throughout my pregnancy with Tate I was going in every month and then weekly for ultra sounds.  Since he was so small they were afraid something might be wrong.  Well delivering 2 weeks early we had a 6 lbs 1 oz little boy.  Now at 2 months he is:

11lbs and 8 oz

22 inches long

Not so little anymore, he has almost doubled his birth weight which I am so excited about.  I guess that is what we get for feeding him every 2 hours.  The doctor told me today that he can go 4 hours between feedings so over the next couple of weeks we are going to be pushing for that time frame between feedings.  I am so excited all I do it seems like is feed Tate, I would have to say I am getting pretty good at multi-tasking while feeding him. 

Oh and Nathan decided he needed to be weighed. Yes our 2 1/2 year old weighs:

38.8 lbs

I know one little solid boy. Oh how I love them!!!

Family Time

Harvest is over and now we have finally had some time to be together as a family.  We missed Rich so much and am so glad to have him home at nights with us.



Ok Tate looks a little funny in this picture, you can tell he needs a bath.

Make sure you poke the dough so you don't have air pockets.

I don't remember what happened but he was laughing so hard.

Funny face.

My Boys

Just wanted to share some pictures of the amazing men in my life.  I love them all so much.  Tate is growing so much at 2 weeks he gained 13 ounces and grew 1 inch.  He is now 6 lbs 15 oz.  Nathan is adjusting well to having Tate around.  It melts my heart when he says, "Oh so cute!"  Also when he sings "I am a Child of God" to Tate.  Rich just started harvest on Monday and is starting to get really busy, poor guy has a sinus infection as well but it is getting better.  Me I am just going day by day, some are easier than others.  Lets just say I miss my sleep, but I wouldn't changed anything of it.  I love my boys!!!!

It's a BOY!!!!

Family Updates

Nathan News:

Nathan is getting so big and talks none stop.  He is growing so much he weights 36 pounds and is 3 feet and 2 inches tall.  We started potty training about a month ago and he is now 95% potty trained still having a hard time at nights.  Nothing I am worried about.  We love it when he goes potty, he says "Pee Pee Potty" to anyone that will listen and in a high pitched voice.  It is so dang cute.  He has been into volcano's lately and loves to lay in mom and dad's bed and have dad tell him stories about a "Big Volcano".  It is so fun to listen to them, Nathan will repeat the last 2 words of every sentence Rich says, with such awe.  Nathan also loves to copy Rich, whenever Rich is on the phone Nathan is at his feet repeating everything he says, as well as all the actions Rich does.  It is so cute!!!  Nathan loves chocolate milk as many know he calls it "Pshsht" and now adding "Chauky Milk".  He loves going to Nursery and loves to be home.  Anytime we get in the car to go somewhere he always says, "I home."  I am so glad he wants to be home, sometimes drives me nuts but I love it.

Richard & Brittney News:

Rich is staying busy at work.  He works Wednesday thru Saturday.  It is nice having him home for three in a row.  Especially on Monday's because this is when I have all my baby appointments.  We have been going jet skiing with some friends for the past couple of weeks and have loved it.  What a great stress reliever for all of us.  Plus I can't complain about the tan I am getting.  I am 36 weeks and 3 days pregnant, can't wait for the baby to be out and hoping it happens very soon.  I am staying very busy with my calling at church and with Nathan.  Things are almost ready for the baby to come, crib is up and clothes are washed.  Funny part is we don't know what we are having.  At first I hated the idea but I love it know, I don't think we will ever find out with our other children what we are having.  I can't wait for the doctor to say, "It's a ????" 

We hope all is well with everyone and miss all our family and friends!!

Something Old and Green to Something "looking" New and White

So I purchased this desk at the Small Mall for $20 and decided to redue it for our new computer desk. Our other one had its legs broke off in the move from Hawaii.  Yes we did still use it for almost 2 years, it started hurting our backs trying to type on a desk that is 2 feet to short.   

Nasty green white washed desk and brassy hardware.

Spray painted the hardware black.

Spray painted it white.

Put a smoky glaze over the white and added the hardware back on.

I LOVE IT!  Sorry the final picture wouldn't rotate.  I will post a finished picture soon.

Jet Skiing

The past couple of days we have been going out with our friends jet skiing.  We have had so much fun, Nathan has even enjoyed going out.

Visitors and Moses Lake Water Park

Darren, Nathan, and Dax

Last week my brother and his family stopped by to stay the night on there way to Camp Zion.  It was so fun to see them and have 6 hyper boys in our home.  We wish they could have stayed longer but glad they stopped by.

Sorry I look so crazy I have pancake batter all over my tummy. 
The thing is just in the way these days.

Nathan at the water park I think he had just as much fun chasing the seagulls as playing in the water.

Running through the splash area, he was having so much fun.

Trying to step on the water and stop it from shooting at him. 

We had such a good time and definitely want to go back again.

Hogle Zoo

At the beginning of July we went to Salt Lake City for a doctor appointment. We normally leave our parents house in the morning and go down and back in one day. This time we decided to go down stay the night and then go to Hogle Zoo. I am so glad that we did, we had so much fun and can't wait to go again. Here are some pictures of our fun trip.

Ultrasound Pictures

So I went in for another ultrasound today and this time we got some really good 3D pictures.  Baby is still small so again in 4 weeks we go in and see the fetal weight.  I will be at 36 weeks so hopefully it continues to grow.  Moved from the 17% to the 3% for femur length so we will see.

What a precious little baby!!!!

This one is a little harder to see but the baby is sucking its thumb. 

You can see the little finger to the side of the nose.

Hope you enjoy!!!!!
