| My boys and I on my Birthday! :) My birthday was Saturday Sep 7th and Lee had to work until 2pm boo! But atleast it was only 2pm. He had the rest of the night planned out for me and wouldn't tell me where we were going. |
Lee took me out to eat at The Hickory! It is soooo good! It's a new place in rexburg and so yummy! We have never eaten there before so it was extra fun to get to go.
This was the create of fries that came with Lee's 1 pound burger! it was huge way too many fries to possibly eat! the crate of onion rings was half the size of the fries.
This was My burger! it had grilled cheese sandwhiches for buns! lol it was a half pound burger and HUGE! it was so tall I couldn't fit it in my mouth and yes I did try too lol I had to take off a layer of the grilled cheese but it was soooo good! I didn't finish the whole thing of course but it was fun to order something huge and delicious and not usually something you see on a menu! :) After dinner we went to the cheap theatre and saw Man of Steel which we loved! we'd been wanting to see it forever but just didn't get the chance until then. :) Overall it was a great birthday :)
Here's Drake on my Birthday present! I finally got a gliding rocker! AND I LOVE IT!!! I've been wanting one for 3 kids now! haha I finally got it and I couldn't be happier!
Me in my rocker with my new hair my sister in law Amie Dyed it for me monday after my birthday. I finally got the grown out blonde gone! I love it it actually has 3 different shades in it one is a dark dark brown one is a red brown and the other is a more natural golden brown. this picture doesn't do it justice at all but in the light you can see all the colors in my hair and I absolutely love it! It's a great fall hair color :)
We were working outside and Zeke fell asleep on the horse swing! haha
Zeke and his outfits. lol He's my little naked boy he's always taking off his clothes and diaper and only wearing shoes in this case I asked him to get dressed and he went and put on his cowboy boots. And as you can see he also colored on himself. He likes to do that alot as well.
Drake just being cute lol
A picture of me after I got ready for a date with Lee I don't curl my hair very often cuz it's sooo thick it takes forever but I felt like being extra girly for our kidless night out!
In other news! This cute little guy is finally taking bottles!!!! I couldn't be happier! He has two RAZOR SHARP bottom teeth and his bit me 7 too many times! I've been weening him for two weeks or so now and today is the first day of no more nursing! once he finally caught onto the bottle and liking the formula I would only nurse him 2 times a day once in the early morning and once before he went to bed. Then several days later or so I cut it down to once a day usually in the early morning and now i'm completely done nursing as of today and he's full time bottle. yay for no more being bitten! haha he's my worst biter for sure!
This little dude is potty training! I figured if he's going to keep taking his diapers off and wanting to be naked it was time to potty train him so he doesn't poop on my floor! haha We've been potty training for 2 or 3 weeks now and he is doing really well! He does better totally naked. when he wears undies if i'm not constantly on him to go potty he'll pee his pants. but he's getting there I make him wear his undies cuz he likes to wear them and he needs to learn to go before it's too late. He's really good about going potty on his own too! He'll just go in there and sit down by himself! It's great! He get's M&M's for treats and a scoop of ice cream if he goes #2! Also another big milestone is we have gotten rid of his binky!!!! he is a binky free kid now! He occasionally will find Drake's binkies and sneak them but lately Drake is refusing his binkies ( i just moved him up to the 6month size binky) He just spits them out or plays and chews them he won't suck them. I can rock him to sleep without one just fine too so I'll be putting all his binkies away where Zeke can't find them and we'll be binky free until our next baby. It's kind of nice not having to worry about any binkies!
Landon is my ninja turtle boy! He oves watching the old cartoons and playing with Lee's old Ninja Turtle toys! :) Landon is doing preschool this year so he can do Kindergarten next year! It's a long story but all my friends last minute bailed out on me couldn't do joy school and it was too late to sign him up into the local preschools around here cuz they were already all full and the elementary school wasn't doing there program this year so anyways I'm just doing it myself and teaching him. We've been working on his handwriting and tracing letters and writing his name a lot and it's so fun to see him writing! we're also doing math and shapes and all sorts of fun preschool things. I get most of my printable worksheets off of Education.com and i'm also doing chalkpreschool.com so he doesn't have to listen to just me all day. I'm also going to get him a pre k computer game.
Here's another picture of Drake. This one I took when he turned 7 months this month! I made the bow tie he's wearing :) I made one for all the boys and they are sooo cute especially when they're paired with this shirt from one of their sunday suits. They love the bowties too :) I plan on making them a bunch of ties as well soon. Drake is on the move now for sure he crawls (fast) everywhere! he climbs up the stairs and walks with any and all furniture! He is even starting to let go of the furniture and just stand by himself! Crazy kid! He's just too anxious to keep up with his brothers!
So besides weening, potty training, and pre schooling I've also been canning peaches! I have to squeeze it in at night when the kids are all in bed and I have Lee's help to make it go faster. we made a bunch of Peach jam and it is sooo yummy. especially on fresh out of the oven homemade bread! yuuuum! my kids are pbj nuts so we go through lots of jam and i don't buy the jam or jelly from the store because they almost all have High fructose corn syrup which is so bad for you that I make the extra effort to avoid products that have it. jam is super easy to make anyways :) And I have a box of Strawberries coming as well so we will have strawberry jam too! my favorite!
