Three men and a little crazy

2011-12-23T14:45:00.004-07:00

Rocky left for his long deployment a couple days before Christmas. We have been without him for several Christmas's but this one is especially hard with it being so close. The base here gave all of the kids a Daddy Doll with Rockys picture on it and we recieved them the night before he left=)

We're ba'ack...

It's been almost three years since I last posted so it is time to start up again=)

We now live in Grand Forks, North Dakota. We are 30 minutes from Minnesota (the closest town too) and an hour from Winnepeg, Canada. It is insainly cold here and there is nothing but flat land for miles and miles and miles. It really isn't too bad though, and the kids have been liking it so far.

First food (if you can call it food)

2009-04-09T13:10:00.006-06:00

little Lucas took one bite, his first bite, and then off to sleep he went
I guess he wasn't as excited about getting to eat cereal as I was to give
it to him
William had his first bite and he wasn't quite sure what to think of it. When he got one spoon full down I assumed he was ready for another. This is where he started wishing he had gone to sleep after the first bite too. He spit it out all down the front of him and started to cry.

Well it's only been six months but I figured it was long enough that I should write. Rocky came back in September safe and sound. In October we moved into our own house on base and went trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpas with all the cousins. November I was huge, misserable, and soooo ready to pop, but nothing happened. Then after Thanksgiving I was even bigger. Then finaly at 38 weeks and 2 days the boys were born on December 12th. January was full of sleepless nights and sleepless days and still continues. February was rough, we went to Indiana to see Rockys family. We drove with all four kids accross a bunch of states then stayed for two weeks and drove back over all thoes states again. It was an interesting trip to say the least. So here we are in March and I started my EMT-I training and got a job as an EMT at Lagoon, woohooo! Rocky is studying his a** off for his next rank of Tech Sgt. He tests at the end of the month. Kaed is doing awsome in gymnastics and will continue throughout the summer. He also starts Kindergarten next September. Caisy is still crazy. she's excited to start pre-school soon and is loving her new brothers.

Possibly related to Peter Parker?

I Knew I shouldn't have taken Jessicas' advice on that e-bay sperm. I may now have half radio active spider biten children. I can't believe some of the things these kids come up with.
These two pictures should be switched, but you get the idea of the whole spider monkey process.

Kaed is such a good big brother. He told her to wait while he climbed down and then with all his spidey strength he lifted his chunky little sister down so she didn't get hurt jumping down. He really does take good care of her and she loves when he plays with her.

What a couple spidey dorks.

Caisys' new boots

2008-09-11T18:26:00.004-06:00

LOOK AT MY BOOTS!!!

and super cute tights aunt Jessi gave me

Caisy and I went to Old Navy yesterday and Caisy got some new boots.

She woke up early this morning and put them on and ran outside to play so I decided to take some pictures of the little cutie.

First Day Of Preschool

2008-09-03T22:26:00.002-06:00

Today was Kaeds' first day of Preschool. He said he had lots of fun and he got to play hopscotch

and "I spy". He also colored a turtle. Sounds like a good first day to me. Caisy was sad she couldn't stay, she really wants to go school just like her big brother. Only one more year and she'll start preschool and Kaed will be in Kindergarten. I can't believe how big they are getting.

Just some extra info for everyone, I'm around 25 weeks now and both of the boys are still boys for sure. They are both very healthy and are moving and kicking like crazy. Daddy should be home in just another couple weeks, he is very excited and can't wait to come back. I recieved my EMT badge and license today so it's now official, I'm certified to save your life. Just hope I never have to. Caisy still wants a horse and asks if we can go feed the horses every morning. She'll come in my room with a 10lb diaper and some flip flops on and tell me it's time to go feed the horses. Kaed is actualy turning into a Transformer and won't sleep without one. Thats about it for the updates.

A couple of dorks

2008-08-24T22:32:00.003-06:00

Last week I had to go out to Salt Lake and I gave the kids my camera to play with so they would behave a little better while I did what I needed to. Tonight I looked at the pictures for the first time. These are pictures the two little dorks took of eachother. This one is a close up of Kaed that Caisy took.The little dork princess taken by the dork prince.
Not too bad, it's an improvement from the first one taken.

This one of Caisy made me laugh so hard because not only does she look like a drooling goober, she has the exact same face as the happy meal toy in her hand.

The County Fair

2008-08-13T23:19:00.006-06:00

Today we went to the Davis County Fair with Augi and Zion. Although there was excitment in the air it was never captured on anyones face because none of them ever looked at the camera.

Kaed and Zion rode the motorcycles together and they were both so good it was a tie race at the end. Funny how that works out huh.

Caisy and Augi rode the elephants together while the boys raced motorcycles. They wanted something a little more practical than a fixed race.

Fourteen years into the future = Daddys worst nightmare.

Hurray for the petting zoo! Lock children and small animals in a 20 foot cage together and see what happens. Luckly the animals can run fast.

Another back of the head shot of all the kids waiting to ride the pony

Kaed loved the petting zoo and was asked several times to put the goat down. Who knew the kids were ment to be on a farm. He chased this little goat around until it hid behind the mule, so he went and found a pot belly pig to torture.

Caisy finally got to "wide it"!

The very first thing we did at the fair was get cotton candy but it was devoured too quickly to get any pictures so the next thing we did was ride the ponys. This was a dream come true for our little cowgirl. She was of course wearing her boots just for the occasion and riding the horse was all she talked about for the rest of the night.

"Sleeping" with Pahtah

2008-08-06T00:47:00.002-06:00

Kaed asked me if he could sleep with his Pahtah tonight so of course being given the opportunity to sleep alone I said yes and told him I would come tell him goodnight in a few minutes. I went down the stairs and found Pahtah lying on the floor in the livingroom with one blanket and one pillow. I asked where Kaed was and she told me he wanted to watch a movie in her bed so as I walked into her bedroom I found a very comfortable Kaedyn in his Pahtahs bed. That is quite the "sleepover".

Caught Red Handed!

2008-08-06T00:35:00.004-06:00

The guilty face of a two-year-old getting caught in the act of doing something wrong. Caisy was trying to push things into the A/C vent in the floor when I startled her and she jumped up very quickly. Well upon closer inspection of the vent I found everything she had been given for lunch all week long down there plus seven popcicle sticks, a handful of marshmallows and a couple dozen candy wrapers. I thought she was just eating really well this week. But with a face so cute it's really hard to get mad at her "creativity".

Party for Augi

2008-08-06T00:01:00.002-06:00

With our daddy gone the days seem long and we have to find ways to stay entertained. Lucky for us July was full of things to do and birthdays every week. Now it's August and we get to celebrate our last July birthday with our cousin Augi. Hopefuly more adventures will come and we'll find ways to stay busy. If August stays as fun as Augi's party all month long we'll be worn out by September! We had Princess and Power Ranger dress up. We ate so much cake our lips are still stained with multi colored frosting.

Augi just turned 3 years old and it was so much fun! Prior to the party day Caisy and Augi tried on their party outfits. However once they discovered they looked more like the cast of

"Moulin Rouge" alternate party atire was decided.
The party was full of excitement! Food, games, children swinging a softball bat.

Who could ask for a better party?

So much fun out in the sun and it was hard to get everyone to leave. I think Kaed actually threw himself into the pool in an attempt to escape.

Augi sure knows how to have a good time! Happy Birthday Augs'

Caisy's most favorite thing in the world is horses. We finally found some real horses she could feed.

Kaed wasn't as thrilled about the horses as Caisy but he still had fun
