February

I'm lazy and never take pictures anymore. We've been busy the last few months, yet seem to be doing nothing at the same time. Uriah is 3 1/2 months old now and smiles all the time! He was never ever smiling until a few weeks ago.  He wouldn't look at me either, but he stares at me all the time and is always talking! He sleeps ok at night, but never sleeps during the day! He doesn't like being put down, but has been a little better lately. He and I have had thrush for the last 2 weeks, and that's been awful! He's big enough to go in the jumper now. But he lasts 10 mins in that. He loves his siblings and Jason. He doesn't know anyone else, so he cries going to other people. But he does love sitting in my Grandma's lap because of her Parkinsons. He loves to play with his car seat toy. He doesn't like to lay down and wants to be up looking aroud and seeing everyone. We love having him in our family though and even though we have all the sleepless nights, the crying he does, the crying I do, the messy dirty house, the exhaustion... all of it.... its all sooooo worth it!



Isaiah & Maci have been doing Junior Kings basketball. I haven't been too good at getting them to practices.... but they're having fun and learning a lot. I'll have to take some pics this weekend.

Other than that, we've just been busy with church. Jason's the new cub master and knows nothing about Scouts. So I guess it's time for him to learn! :-) He is working days too... and its fantastic! So nice having him around and not the zombie that we had last year.

The kids get bored pretty easily and I've been turning off the tv so they can do something else than watch the tube! So Sadee is always dressing up and dressing the boys up. I did the same thing as a kid and loved it! I'm too tired to dress up now. hahah... Here's their latest fashion show.

 When Jason gets home, he usually takes a nap. But he likes falling asleep to the girls either doing his hair, makeup, or something to his feet. Maci is coloring his toenails in this pic. Just thinking about that gives me the creeps. I don't touch feet! And I don't like things on my finger nails or toenails. Blah!

  
We like to turn on music and the kids dance and rock out to it. Maci & Isaiah are too old now to do it, but the younger kids do! Here's Elijah rockin' out with some jelly on his face! I love this age! They can wear anything and still look so cute because it's what they picked out! 

And at the end of the day we come together and say our family prayer. We aren't at this moment, just getting ready for it. But I thought it was funny how they all were kneeling down and Ezra was right in the middle and then realized how they were all doing the same thing so he turned around and did his own thing. Silly boy!

Hey there busy momma! You're doing a great job YAY!!! Love to see how big and cute your kids are. That last one of Ezra praying is too funny. Hugs.

I love hearing you talk about Uriah, Harper is the same exact way, although she is just starting to grow out of the crying all the time phase. She also hates to be put down and is a terrible napper unless I am willing to sacrafice everything and hold her during her nap. Makes me feel not so alone, hang in there :)
