Thing I MUST remember

I've NEVER been so overwhelmed, or thought less of myself than I do right now in life.  The overwhelmed part gets easier everyday, the liking myself part won't get better for a while, but I have to remember....
these bags under my eyes are worth getting up most of the night every night

this spare tire + muffin top + saggy girls + saddle bags + droopy butt + cellulite are also worth being able to feed my baby what she should be eating right now

this messy, unorganized, smelly house, and the lack of good homemade meals it puts out right now will all change, and be back to where it was a year ago

I WILL
do crafts with my kids again

 I WILL
make dinner at home 6-7 nights a week again (not from a box)

I WILL
have a home that is ok to let anyone in at anytime again

I WILL
get out of stretchy pants and maternity pants to go on dates again

I WILL
allow my picture to be taken again (even if it's a year from now)

I WILL
take all my kids out to do something fun everyday again

I WILL
find time in the morning to work out again


I have a hard time remember that all of these things WILL happen again..  Every week I think, "this is the week I'll have the sleep I need to get in the workouts I want"  Or this is the week that I won't have to go pick up Jase in the middle of dinner making time.  Or this week I'll put enough make up on and jump in a picture with my girls.  But it hasn't happened yet.  Soon enough.

Happy Day!

I LOVE today.  Vivian learned to laugh.  It's so sweet and cute.  I love it.  It always makes her hiccup too.  So so sweet.  To this day, Pearcen's laugh still warms my heart, ok ok, so does Boston's, Kamryn's and Jaden's.  Now we have an extra laugh around here!  YAY!!!!

 She's super drooly baby too.  I need to keep a bib on her.  She's a bubble blower.  She's learned to make her lips make the raspberry sound which makes even more drool.

 And she's getting her chubby thighs!  I love it.  I can't help but squish them a few times a day.  Only a couple of rolls so far, but come on, she's only had about 12 weeks.  Give us another 12 and we'll double it!

 And of coarse, she's the cutest baby around, but thanks to her cousin Dani, she's got the cutest hair accessories.  And she wears a new one everyday...almost. I love it!!!

 Ahh, and she DID get Pearcen's eyelashes. I was hoping she would.  They are so long and dark.

 And yea, the usual Mulder baby nose.  It always worries me, but they have always grown into it.  I just want to kiss those cute witto wips!!!!

Right now Vivvy weighs between 14 and 15 pounds. I not quite sure how tall she is.   We don't take our kids to the dr.  But she seems tall.  She started out tall for her weight, so maybe she'll be our tall kid.  I've got my money on Boston and VIvvy to be the tallest.

Woot Beew Fwoats

I was crying the other day and Boston came up and asked me why I was crying. I just told him I was sad, sad that I couldn't make one of my other kids happy.  And he said, "well, I know what can cheer you up....Woot Beew Fwoats!!!, Woot Beew Fwoats ALWAYS cheer me up!"  Needless to say, we're getting woot beew fwoats today.

bzagent

My sister Paula introduced me to BzzAgent a few years ago and it's been so much fun!  I've got to try all kinds of products from mascara to cookies to diapers.  I love it!  This last month I've got to test out Garnier Fructis's triple nutrition shampoo and conditioner.  They sent me a full size bottle of both and really great coupons for more.  This was a product I actually LOVE!  It smells so great, and the conditioner is really softening. I love it

Quickest 2 months OF MY LIFE!

I can't believe it was 2 whole months ago that I had this girl.  It seems like just yesterday. I'm so mad that she's trying to hold her cute little head up.  I have LOVED the baby stage with this one.   I think because I haven't stressed myself out or felt guilt about breastfeeding.  And she still nurses a few times a day and I pump, but I'm 100% ok giving her a formula bottle or 2 a day.  And so is she.  She's the smiliest baby ever.  Even if you're not trying to make her smile, you'll look down, and she'll be smiling.  She's fantastic.   She's still so little, which I LOVE.  She's about the same as Boston at birth, but less jowls.  She LOVES to sit and watch you talk to her.  She tries moving her mouth and makes cute little sounds.  I don't remember my other ones smiling or cooing as early as Vivvy.  She was smiling at 5 weeks, like REAL smiles, and cooing a 7 weeks.  I feel like every mile stone is as big as it was with Jaden, because i know it's the last time to see these milestones happen.  ugh, baby bibby...stop growing up!!!!!

5 kids, 15 moves and a lot of hotness

I have the cutest kids ever.  It's true.  Seriously, I squeeze their cheeks daily and I can't help but go "Mmm" about 20x a day while I hold Vivvy.  They're so superbly cute!.

 And hilarious.  Pearce is in a phase of bonking himself on the head and making his eyes go loopy and Boston loves to sing to Vivian when she's crying and he sings, "Bibian, I wish you stop crying, stop crying Bibian".    They're all fantastic!

But our life right now...a tad bit overwhelming.  It's the last month of hip hop, performance, for Kam and Boston, the last month of piano...recital, for Jaden and Kamryn, Boston's birthday, food fight...in JOeph City, Jase is traveling for work now, and Boston starts his at speech therapy.   But let's see, what else can we throw into this mix to make it a tad bit more overwhelming??? Oh, let's decide we need to pack up and move....in 12 days!!!!! We don't 'know where to, but we have someone to rent our house so we need to get out.   So a week of house hunting, w/o a husband, w/ 3 little kids, the the heat (which makes me SO irritable), plus start packing...again.  Move #15, here we come!!!!!!

Baby Bibby's Blessing

I LOVE THIS BABY!!!!!  She's fantastic!   

Her blessing was on Easter Sunday.  I REALLY wish we would have waited another month or 2....or 3.  I felt a little pressured to have it on Easter Sunday, and it all went well, but I think I was still a little too post partum, and stressed, and she was too little and, whatever.  She's a doll and I love her baby bibby guts!

Uncle Bill conducted and Jase did a fantastic job with the blessing.  The Aunts all helped put together a great luncheon and we had a really fun Easter egg hunt for the kids afterwards.  Viv was a gem the whole day and of coarse she looked adorable in the dress Grandma Hatch made her.  I'm going to do some more pictures with her in it as soon as she fits in it better...hopefully a month or so.  It's an amazing dress though, and I LOVE that it's handmade by her grandma!!!!
