Phil and Ted's VIBE

Here is my new stroller. Aaron got it for me and I have to say, "I LOVE IT!" Kali wasn't really a stroller baby, we just carried her everywhere, so Aaron nor I understood the importance of a stroller when you have TWO children. I had mentioned it too him several times after having Krew that it was just to stressful trying to go places and juggle the kids without a stroller and it was just not working. He still didn't understand until we went on a family outing and it only took one stop and he REALIZED we need a stroller, so I found the perfect one for me. I take the kids jogging in the mornings and they are both comfortable and happy, well Krew just sleeps and Kali usually does pretty good, but it is nice, it just has so many options, the kids can be laying all the way down, or reclined, etc. and it fits in the back of the car, through door ways, in bathrooms, IT IS AWESOME! Thank you Aaron for understanding and getting me this new piece of heaven, now I can go anywhere and not have to juggle two kids in my arms!

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!:)
