A funny thing happened at church....

Gosh I love this little face.  H has been a lot of work but so much fun lately.  I love the way he peeks around the corner and gives me a big scrunchy nosed grin when he sees me.  He has also learned how to be a bit of a tease and seems to have a little sense of humor already.  

I love to watch him learn about everything around.  He watches everything and then tries to do everything (sometimes not such a great thing).  I found him walking along the back of the couch the other day (the very back of the couch).  Now that the weather is nice, outside is full of even more adventure.  Everything is new, exciting and fun.  Messes and chaos usually follow, but the fun is worth it.  (Here's hoping he doesn't figure out the door knob this year)

 So, what happened at church you ask?  I wasn't feeling well, so Kent came home from meetings early to help get the kids ready for church.  H was the only one not dressed.  So, Kent dressed him, I finished getting ready and we left for church.  Kent carried H for me, and when we got to church I decided that I would keep him with me.  Kent put him down in the Relief Society room and left.  My little runner decided to split.  I reached down and scooped him up and horror swept over me.......

"HE DOESN'T HAVE A DIAPER ON!" I exclaimed  as roars of laughter filled the room filled with women.   How on earth did we get to church with no diaper?  I quickly grabbed a diaper and took him to the mother's room to fix the problem.  

Oh, it could have been catastrophic.  What if I hadn't noticed?  What if Kent had kept him?  What if Kent had kept him and handed him off to another man while he took care of business?  We just lucked out.  
In Kent's defense, H did have a diaper on when he got him dressed.  H just snuck downstairs and somehow managed to get it off and out through the leg of his onesie style romper (like a button-up shirt with legs in it).  I am still not sure how he did it.  


This kid is so much fun, despite the diaper scares.  He is such a momma's boy too.  The picture above shows how he likes to hold me.  He squishes his cheek into mine.  You can't see the back, but he grabs a hand full of hair to pull me closer to him.  

He loves his daddy too.  I love his sweet little voice saying, "Daddy!" and then the sound of his little feet runny to see Kent when he comes home from work.

Everyday I am so grateful he is here with our family.  He is my everyday miracle.

I'm so grateful you are both happy and healthy. I'm glad that little guy made it here safe and sound. He looks like a mischief maker. I'm sure you've got your hands full.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
