At least someone is happy about these photos!
Then and now
This picture was taken in July of 2010. Piper was 3, Thaddeus was 19 months, and Odessa was 5 months.
I took this one a couple of days ago when I was at my folks house in February 2012. Piper is 4, Thaddeus is 3, Odessa is 23 months and Ace is 5 months. I wish I had a picture with my grandparents so I am going to force my parents and my kids to take one good picture a year. Thankfully they were all good sports about it and all smiled for me! In this picture you can really see that Ace and Thad have the same head shape. Ace looks more and more like Thad, and then more like Sam everyday!
Discoveries
Acer has discovered his toes. I had him in a sleeper one day and he was just crying and whining for about an hour. I took of his sleeper to change his diaper and his toes right into his mouth and he stopped crying and fussing. He just wanted his toes and couldn't find them. He is always playing with his toes and he loves when Mommy munches on them to!
All before 10 a.m.
I go to the grocery store every Monday morning to get the groceries I will need for the rest of the week. And yes, I take all 4 kids with me. We were almost done and Piper scraps her finger on something and cuts it. I told her I was sorry she got hurt and that I would get her a band-aid when we got home. I then reminded her that is why we have the rule to keep our arms in. "We have rules to keep us safe and happy" So we head to the check out and Piper says "Mom, LOOK!" It was bleeding. It came to about a small drop but she was right, she was "bleeding" I tell her ouchie and remind her I will get her a band-aid at home. It seriously was not bleeding enough to even need a Kleenex. We head out to the car, I get everyone loaded in and buckled, all but Piper since she can do it herself. Piper tells me she has to go potty and I tell her we will be home in about 3 minutes and she can go potty then. I load the groceries, get in the car myself and start to drive off. Boring story right? Here is where it gets good. I am driving and see that Piper is standing up leaning on the seat in front of her. (She sits in the back of the van). I start to yell at her to get in her seat and get buckled, that it wasn't safe to stand and not have a seat belt on. She isn't listening or moving. So I start to get mad! I pull over to really yell at her. I get out climb in back and sit her down and she has her eyes closed and is deathly white. Absolutely NO BLOOD in her face. I start to freak out. I yell her name over and over. It seems like eternity, but after about 6 Pipers, she opens her eyes, and says "what Mom". I start to breathe again and realize she had passed out. I ask her what is wrong and she says "Nothing, I'm fine" I asked her if she was dizzy, if she was going to throw up etc etc. She looked down and I said "Are you peeing your pants?" SHE WAS! She was so out of it and disoriented and things were just not connected in her. I found out later that she was freaked out by the blood on her finger. This girl has fallen and scraped her knees, she has bleed before. Way more than she did today. She was fine for about 20 minutes after she cut her finger. I still don't know what all happened? I do know that I NEVER have to see that again. My baby lifeless and white. I didn't know she was passed out or that anything was wrong except disobedience (which is so not like Piper to disobey like that). I thought I was going to have to explain to her Daddy that she died. Seriously it was so scary! I felt bad for yelling at her, but like my sister said "She wont remember it anyway" Lets hope not. She had a headache and her neck hurt but she is fine now! THANK GOODNESS!
If you're on the floor.....
..... you're fair game.
Poor Sam can't be home without kids all over him. Luckily he prefers it that way.
Eating
We have started eating rice cereal. He wont eat it if I mix it with formula, but with water or breast milk he eats it right up.
This is just because I liked the face he was making. Kinda like "Again, Mom?"
Addiction
I just can't stop taking pictures! And every single one of them are just to cute not to share!
We are teething and have had some pretty rough nights. He has been pretty sleepy lately! Tomorrow he gets shots, so it could be another couple of rough days for this little guy!
All I have to say about Odi is SHE'S INSANE!
Yeah, this is the cool way to watch TV.
Piper picked out this wonderful ensemble for church. She looked pretty adorable!
The perks
I love being in Primary with my kids! I am the 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency and this month is my month to conduct. I was standing up in the front of everyone and was telling them what the plan was and Thaddeus is sitting in the front row and just very loudly says, "I love you Mommy" I stopped looked at him and said I love you to Bud. It made his day and mine!
I couldn't resist
I always feel lucky to be the mommy to 4 wonderful little people. But some days, I feel even more so! Bud would not let me take his picture, so you only get the more willing participants.
Acey is getting so big. He can roll over, he can sit up, he can put his pacifier in his mouth. Everything but sleep threw the night! But at the same time I love just getting to hold him while it is quiet. No other kids to distract me from holding him and looking at him. Some times he will stop eating and just look at me and smile. I always thought he looked just like Thaddeus, but I was going threw old baby pictures of Miss Odes and they look even more alike. It will be fun to see who he looks like when he gets older! I love this little guy!
My Miss odes is INSANE! She wants to be a big girl and yet wants to be the baby at the same time. She wants to be my big helper and yet still wants me to carry her everywhere. She wants to hold Acer but most of the time just to get him off my lap and into some one elses. She loves to follow me around and help with laundry or loading the dishwasher, or vacuuming. But her favorite thing to do is play games. She is constantly asking to play a game from the game closest. All my kids would rather play a board game than watch TV and I am ok with that.
This is my bud as a baby! ISN'T HE CUTE! I was going threw old pictures and Thad being a baby is a blur. I got pregnant so fast with Odi that his babyness escapes me which I feel really bad about. He didn't get to be my baby. At 14 months old I made him grow up and be the big brother! The older he gets, the more he takes that role very seriously. Esp. now with a little brother. He can't wait to teach him about Super Heros and even wants to teach him how to go potty in the toliet! If you ever need a hug, he is your guy. He LOVES hugs and affection. He is officially potty trained. even Threw the night. He has had one poopy accident in the whole month we have been at this! He can zip his coat zipper, and is becoming even more like his Daddy (if that is possible) and is really liking numbers. I just can't believe he is 3 now!!! His face hasn't changed a bit since he was 9 months old!
My big girl! Isn't she gorgeous? She reads anything and can read it fast. Instead of talking to me, she will spell the sentence out to me. So instead of a 2 seconds questions , it turns into a 2 minute questions. But I love it! She can add and subtract and do a little bit of fractions. She insists on helping with Ace and be a mommy to everyone whether they like it or not. She told me the other day I could go take a nap and she would watch the "kids" I told her thank you, but I wasn't that tired at the moment. She still lets me hold her and kiss her and will randomly come up to me and ask if she can kiss me and tells me I am the best Mommy! It's no wonder I feel so lucky to be their Mommy!

Who doesn't love naked baby pictures!!!
I just want to eat him up!
I would like to think he was reaching for me, and not the camera. He is looking at me!
He chews on his tongue all the time. I think its adorable!!
