We Are in Big Trouble

So last night we were sitting around before the kids were going to bed, just talking about Christmas and Santa coming. They are both very intrigued by Santa. Evelyn asked if he had a car. This is the first year that they really get the whole Santa thing so I was telling Dwight that we needed to take them to see Santa. They both asked why they were going to go see Santa because they thought he lived too far away. So I explained that Santa comes down from the North Pole to ask them what they want for Christmas. I asked them what they wanted to ask Santa for Christmas and Evelyn said, "I want my own phone." Then I asked James and he said, "I want a gun." If I remember correctly they are only 3 so I am now very nervous about the future and what is to come. I figured those were things that teenagers would want but apparently not.

First Day of School

This is the morning before we left the house for their first day of school. I had been crying for about a week before getting prepped for this day so I have to say that I was so proud of myself when I didn't cry until I got out into the truck after taking them into their school. They absolutely love school and I have to write in that they are the cutest kids in the whole school. I'm pretty sure I'm not too biased, because they are the only kids that come to school with their hair combed and clean clothes. But we do live in Nevada so I guess that is all that needs to be said.

My Babies

As you all can see Ellen doesn't look the happiest when she is being held by her big brother and sister.

This was our trip to the Salt Lake City Zoo

I had such good intentions of keeping up with this blog but I have come to find out that 3 kids is a lot of work. I don't have time to bathe much less time to work on my blog. So it is 2 am and James and Evelyn are sick. They have been in preschool 4 whole days and are already sick. All I have to say is fabulous and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Dwight, myself and most of all Ellen don't get it. So everyone who reads this please say a prayer for us that it will skip us. I'm just posting some random pictures for everyone to see. I do have a picture of the kids on their first day of school but it is lost somewhere on the computer and Dwight keeps rolling his eyes and puffing when I tell him I can't find it. I will find it and put it up though. Until then here are some other pictures.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Ok so this year Mom has outdone herself. I decided that James and Evelyn are going to be Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween. I ordered the costumes and they are so cute I can't even handle it. We took some pictures the night the costumes got here. I will make sure and take more pictures on Halloween and put those up. I just couldn't resist showing everyone what they look like.

Our New Baby

Ok Everyone, here she is! She is our newest addition as of September 16. These are some current pictures of her so everyone can see how she is growing. I can't believe how fast she is growing already. I want her to stay a baby forever. I told Dwight I would have a hundred babies if they just stayed that way. But they tend to grow up and then they start talking back and so on. :)

Anxiously Waiting

We are waiting for our new baby finally. We have counted down and are down to 2 and 1/2 weeks. Thank goodness is all I can say. I think I have been pregnant for 2 years like an elephant. I will say that this has been much easier than being pregnant with 2 though. We will post pictures as soon as we can when she gets here. I can't wait for my family to get here too. It will be fun to have everyone here other than having my guts ripped open. :) I decided to put a picture of the twins when they were tiny. I was thinking back to then.

No More Diapers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So our little James is finally potty trained! All I have to say is YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought this day would come but it is here. He has been doing very well for two weeks now. No accidents. I didn't want to jinx it but apparently its really happening. It just clicked one day for him. We have been trying really hard for about the last 6 months but nothing. Apparently we had to wait for him to be ready. Weird!! Anyways I'm putting the matching picture to Evelyn's up. This was a very crabby afternoon for both of them.
