Does it ever end?

LAUNDRY!!!

I never had this problem with Kali, she NEVER spit up, seriously. OK maybe ONCE she did, but Krew is a spit up machine. No matter how well I burp him or try to keep him on his back, or whatever advice I have gotten and tried, it never faileth, he spits up every where. Kristy Southwick got a little taste of it last night, sorry Kristy. She is awesome and always wants to hold him, but I am sure last night she was wishing she hadn't. She left the baby shower smelling like Krew's throw up. I felt so bad. When I was at church last week he managed to miss the burp rag and get some on my shirt and skirt and I knew I had to smell. It helped me remember why I don't got shopping for really cute expensive clothes anymore it would just stress me getting spit up on all of them. So I pretty much have had to do laundry every other day. I really should do it every day but that never seems to get done. Thank you Aaron for taking care of the laundry for me today! I was freaking out, not only did Krew have tons of blankets and burp clothes that were soaked with his internal liquids, but he managed to blow out of his diaper all over his crib and clothes, it was the biggest explosion yet. And to top it all off, I forgot Kali took her pull-up off because she went for a night ride in the car with dad last night and she did NOT want her pull-ups on when she left the house, so I let her put on her underwear and forgot when she got home to have her put them back on so now I also have all of her bedding that needs to be done! AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH! It never ends!

Kali's Movies

Kali has never been a huge movie watcher, I have the hardest time getting her to sit and watch a movie all the way through, but we finally found a few that she really enjoy. The first movie she ever sat through (this was about 4 months ago) was Barbie the Island Princess, and she would want to watch it at least twice a day, this lasted for about a month until her friend Lilli introduced her to Barbie's Princess and the Pauper, then that was her favorite for a while, lately her choice is the Bee Movie, which her Grandma Wood gave to her and for nap times and sometimes before bed she likes to watch Veggie Tales, which she got from her Auntie Hillary! It is nice to have a few movies she will sit through when I need to try and accomplish something in the house, because most of the time she just wants to get Brylie from down stairs and go to the playground.

My Twin!

Brylie is one of Kali's best friends and she is my friend too! Today she saw my hair in pigtails and asked if I could do her hair just like mine. I was like, "of course." I had to get a picture, she looked so cute!

Congratulations Erin and Hillary

Tonight we had a baby shower for Hillary Williams and Erin Low. Hillary's little girl is due in three weeks and Erin is due in about 7 months but she is leaving in a week to Arizona so we wanted to celebrate her and her little one before she leaves. We had a great time watching, The Devil Wears Prada and playing spin the bottle. We split into two teams and both teams would spin the bottle, who ever the two people were that it landed on would compete. The games were baby bottle chug, name that tune, and guess that baby food. My camera battery died so all of the other pictures are on Erin's camera. When I get them I will post of few more!! It was so much fun! Congratulations mommies:)

Sunday Afternoon Naps

It just made me laugh so hard to see how both of my kiddos fell asleep for their Sunday naps. Krew fell asleep in the stroller and when we pushed it into the house he just looked so peaceful I didn't want to pull him out and wake him up, and I didn't really have a choice because Kali was needing my help getting her dress off, my attention quickly changed to her and getting her ready for a nap, after she was ready I went into the kitchen to prepare some food. After a few minutes I noticed something strange, complete silence, no crying or whining children, I thought for sure something must be wrong. I go to check on Kali and this is what I found:) She was passed out on her sofa. So cute!

Tag, continued

So the kids are asleep again, lets see if I can finish my tag.

6. I love chocolate - I am sure most of you knew this already, but I am not sure if you truly understand the addiction I have. I am thinking about starting a chocolates anonymous group for all of you who are struggling with this same addiction. I love to work out and be in shape and I like to eat healthy and feel healthy, but I can not totally give up chocolate, I tried it once and it lasted for one month, that is the longest I have ever gone in my entire life, one month. I guess that is not even entirely true, I was drinking chocolate milk during that month. In my mind I think that chocolate milk doesn't count because it is healthier than most chocolate treats and it helps curb my appetite for any other sweets. See my problem here. Honestly when I am stressed and my kids are freaking me out I start to crave chocolate really bad and I honestly feel better and more calm after a glass of chocolate milk or a bowl of rocky road ice cream!! I am struggling right now because I want to get back in shape after having Krew and Aaron wants me to stop cold turkey, but I fear I will start having withdrawals, getting the shakes and hot and cold flashes. HELP! If you would like to attend my group meetings they will be nightly from 8pm-10pm, we can have a support group till will kick our addiction, then hopefully the meeting can be less frequent!:)

TAG, All about me!

Back in April I was tagged by Hillary Williams and Stefani Jorgensen. At first I was like, there really isn't anything interesting about me that people don't already know, but over these past two months I have randomly thought about some things and thought O.K. I guess it is time now to post a little about me. Here is goes, first for Stefani's tag, six things about me that people probably don't know:

1. The claw machine - Luck or Talent? You decide. Back in 2000, Utah, Provo Town Center, one of these machines had Care Bears in them, I thought so cute I want to try, and on my first try I got my very first claw machine stuff animal, I still have it to this day it is the green lucky bear in the picture! Ever since then I have been addicted, I usually can get them in one or two tries. Now I am not going pro yet, I only go for ones that are easy to get like on top laying there not all stuck in between things. I have gotten a few pretty weird and ugly things but it is just for fun, because I can do it!:) It is funny, I get them often enough that when ever Kali sees the machines she thinks she can just choose what she wants and I will get it for her, oh cont rare. I have given a lot of them away and thrown and few really ugly one's away, but the few I have left are pictured below. The picture with Kali in it is just all her stuffed animals and she wanted to get a picture since I was taking pictures of the one's I have clawed.



2. Music - when it comes to music I enjoy listening to classical, if you have ever heard of Soundscapes on satellite radio I will listen to that all day, especially when I am cleaning or want to be creative or meditate or relax, etc. you get the point. When I nannied in California I had that playing through out the whole house all the time, I LOVE IT!! If I am in a different mood I prefer adult alternative, it is the softer alternative songs. The only time I really like to listen to harder music is when I am working out, or dancing.


3. Ready for this one, I don't like to: read, cook, clean, scrapbook or shop (especially now that I have kids). I know it is a shocker. I would prefer having a maid or nanny or assistant for most of these things.
Sorry book club members but it is true, I would much rather snuggle up on the couch with my pop corn and chocolate milk (hot chocolate just doesn't work in hawaii) and watch a movie. I am sure some of my friends here in Hawaii had that one figured out, I was part of a book club and out of 5 books I think I read one. disclaimer: I do enjoy reading my scriptures.
If I could have a person cook for me I would be in Heaven because I absolutely LOVE tasty food, I just don't want to prepare it. My husband would kill me for saying this, because he hates these places, but I absolutely love those restaurants that you go to that cost a million dollars a plate and they don't give you very much, but the food tastes AMAZING!!!!
I have to have a clean house, because it stresses me out when it is not, but I don't like cleaning, I would much rather have some other person walking behind my children and husband picking up after their messes.
Scrapbooking, I have tried that and I know it is a sin for an LDS women not to enjoy doing these things, but I prefer these new photo books you can make online, all of my childen will have those as scrapbooks.
And last but not least shopping, I know what kind of a women doesn't like to shop right, well over the years I like it less and less and with children now, I would much rather have some one shop for me, I love cute clothes and accessories, I just want some one else to go get them for me. Hours and hours spent looking around for the right things just isn't appealing to me any more. AND when I do try to shop for myself I just end up coming home with clothes for the kids.

4. How I prefer to spend my time is: outside, on the beach, surfing, working out, playing sports, hiking, running around with my children, taking the kids to fun places, taking pictures, finding good quotes and poetry, and making photo books.
5. I love to travel and I love change. After I graduated High School I never lived anywhere longer than 2 years. After I left Washington I moved to Idaho for 2 years at Ricks received my Associates degree, moved to Utah worked as a paralegal for 2 years, moved back to Washington, worked there as a paralegal and at a gym for six months, then took a job in North and South Carolina for a summer 4 months, than moved back to Washington where I was going to play basketball for the local college 2 months, decided to move back to Utah to finish school and take another paralegal job 6 months, than took a nanny job in California, met Aaron 2 years later got married moved to Hawaii have lived here now for over 3 years and believe it or not I am happy and not itching to move somewhere new, maybe because I have a family now and I am happy and settled. I have to be honest I would still like to travel and see more of the world, I have been to several different states, but I would like to visit other countries, I have only been to parts of Europe, Mexico and the Carribean.

Well Kali just woke up, too be continued ...
