Baby Monkey!

Monkey updates. I will be going thru and doing an update on every one. (I hope)
I am a slacker! Here we are with Lil’ Monkey at 2 ½ mo. old. He has been so much fun! The kids love playing with him and trying to make him smile. All of them are so much help keeping him happy when I am busy.
He was blessed September 5th by his daddy. Then we went over to the temple to take his blessing pics. He is such a sweet baby we are so blessed to have him in our family!

He is doing great. Getting to big to fast! He has doubled his birth weight in 2 mo. at his checkup Sep 23rd we was 11lb. 15oz. and 23in long. He is already in 3-6mo clothes.

Unlike all of the others, he has lots of long dark hair that is staying. He is over 2 mo and has not lost any, he actually has gotten more. I guess that is what happens you have 6 people to hold you when ever you want. Despite being held a lot he is really strong! He can almost push all the way up to his hands when he has tummy time. I tried to get a pic of it but he would not do it when I had the camera the little stinker. =) He is also a great sleeper! He goes to bed with the others between 8 and 9 and sleeps till 4. Wakes up to eat then goes back to sleep till 7 or 8. If I am smart I can get lots of sleep. I love it! He is such a Fun Sweet Monkey! " I LOVE YOU!"

It has finally happened,

Our fifth little monkey has arrived. He was born on Friday the 23th of July at 11:48 PM. He was 6lb 1oz and 19 1/2 in. long. There are many fights at our house over who gets to hold the baby. Everyone loves him so much and we are so happy that he is here. There are more pics to come so look again soon.

Baby Bump!

I had the opportunity this past weekend to have the most Wonderful, Awesome, and Sweetest person take some baby bump pics for me. This may or may not be the last time I get pregnant. (We have been done in the past and then had the strong feeling we were not done....) I want to be able to look back in 20 years and remember how fun this pregnancy was. And how exited all of the kids were for a new member to come in to our family. plus they are so fun!!

This is my most favorite one.

This is our latest family pic.

I love how much my kids love each other!! And how much they love there new brother!

There are more. But there are to many to put on my blog. There are more bare belly pics and they turned out so cute I love them all!! I am so thankful to know such a sweet and talented person! She was able to make me look beautiful even when I don't feel very beautiful with 2 1/2 weeks to go. Thank you Sharee!!!

Baby update

Just about 10 weeks left and all of my restrictions have been lifted!!!!! You never know how much you love having a vacuumed house till you are told you are not aloud to do it. But now I love having a nice clean floor!! And I can clean my bathrooms!! The baby is growing very well, but he dose not like doctors to listen to his heart. He rolls all over my belly when every they try. The placenta has moved away from the opening and everything is back to a normal pregnancy. I am measuring right on where I should, but you can’t tell by looking at me. Our next adventure is summer brake. And getting ready for our new baby! We are so thankful for so many great blessings!!

Sometimes all someone needs is a simple hug to remind them that the Savior dose loves them, and there prayers are being heard………

Baby News

I am half way there! At 20 weeks the count down begins, along with the count up, of my weight. As of my last visit to the doc. I have gained 5 pounds. that's all and if you didn't know me you could not even tell I am pregnant. The baby is sitting so far in to my back it hurts!!
It has been fun to feel the little squirmier wiggle and move! All of the kids have been able to feel the baby move. It is so fun to see there faces light up and laugh when they feel the baby nudge them.
I have been feeling better this is still the hardest pregnancy yet, but also the funnest the kids love there baby brother so much already! And yes I did say brother. Contrary to my beliefs it is a boy! He was definitely more than willing to let us know. So bring on the blues, greens and the monkeys!!

Lady Bugs's Big Day

My baby is 8 years old! I can not believe the day came so fast! She is amazing! She is so smart, she loves crafts, playing with anyone who will play with her and, she loves to make people laugh. I don't know what I would do without her!

Bug was Baptised by her Daddy. She was so exited!!! She had never gone under water before. (she was to scared) So we had a wonderful friend who let us use her indoor pool so Bug could practice. The day of the baptism she was Way more exited then scared she wanted to be baptised so bad! It was so sweet! The evening was full of the sweet spirit! My baby looked like an angle! I am so proud of her and thankful for the choices she has made! She is such a wonderful example to her brothers and sister!

The confirmation and blessing were so beautiful that next morning! Bug got up to share her testimony which was beautiful and made me cry. Her daddy also shared his testimony for the first time. It made me so thankful for everything the lord has blessed our family with, and how far we all have come in such a short time. Also that no matter how hard things get, every thing will be OK. We also had the opportunity to hear from Bug's Grandpa (Daddy's dad) and Great Grandpa. It was so fun to hear 4 generations of testimony in one meeting. I am so proud of Bug! I love her so much and I know her Heavenly Father loves her also and is so proud of the choices she is making!
