Lydia's prayer

Today Lydia was saying prayer for lunch. She was saying the prayer and asked that we could please get some good cheap cereal at the store because we only have one. So cute and she must really want cereal, and I just love how she prayed for it to be cheap. That is great! I love my Lydia Ruth!!

Update on Joseph

I can't believe my little Joseph is already four months old. He is so cute. He is smiling all the time. He loves his brother and sisters. He is very good at holding his head up. He does great on tummy time. He is learning to push and can get his body on it side for a few seconds. Joseph loves his hands. He doesn't like his binky much anymore. He just likes his hands, he will take the binky sometimes but it is not his first choice.

He is so cute when he laughs! He is a great sleeper at night. He sleeps through the night. He goes to bed about 9pm and gets up about 7- 7:30. Joseph is very tall, and a very happy baby. He is so cute we love him tons.

He has found his voice and loves to talk and make noises.

On Saturday night Joseph rolled over from his tummy to his back 4 times in a row. He did great. Jason was at the BYU football game while he rolled over. (and I was at my parents watching the game on TV) When Jason got home he wanted to see him roll over and so Jason put Joseph on his tummy and he did it for Jason. Jason was so happy that he could see him roll over. Jason was holding Joseph and then asked me if I checked the mail. I said no so he layed Joseph on his back. I was in the Family room then I noticed Joseph was on his tummy. I asked Jason if he put him on his back and he said yes. Then I said he just rolled from his back to his tummy. He hasn't done it again since. What a big boy!! That was the 28th of November.

He are some pictures from the big event!

So now Joseph can roll over, and I'm pretty sure that he is teething too, but so far no teeth yet!!
Joseph is just getting over being sick. We had a few really bad nights. I'm so glad he is feeling better and we can all get some better sleep around here. Thank goodness Jason was so great and would take him down stair in the middle of the night and stay up with him so I could get some sleep. We took turns. thanks sweetie!!

Joseph Loves his exersaucer that his auntie Emily bought him while she was here! He is so happy in it. Loves to be able to rock in it! It is the best thing ever! Thanks so much Emily!!

Joseph loves to be held and while you are holding him he loves to rock back and forth. I'm pretty sure he has started doing since he has gotten the exersaucer. What a big boy. We go to the doctor on Wednesday for his check up and i can't wait to see how much he weights.

Lacey

This morning Lacey said that her throat hurt. Then, when she was eating breakfast she said mom do you know why my throat hurt? I said no and she said because I was hungry. She is so cute! I love her so so much!! She is such a little princess and carry's a purse where ever and whatever she does! She is learning her letters and Lydia is teaching Lacey her sight words. Lacey is growing up so much!! She gives the best squeeze(hugs)!! She loves to play with Joseph and her baby doll!! What a cute little girl! I love you Lacey!!

Corn maze

We went to the corn maze at pumpkin land this year for Jonathan's Birthday this year! It was very fun. The kids had a blast! All the cousins were there, they had lots of places where you could put your heads in but getting them all to look and do it at the same time was hard, we did the best we could. They had so much fun going through the corn maze, playing the jumping inflatables, going through the spook alley and being with there cousins.

Pumpkin carving

Jason and the kids carved the pumpkin this year. They had lots of fun. We didn't get any pictures of the finished product. Oh well. Lacey loved wearing her chip outfit all over the place. They didn't like the guts of the pumpkins. They did great.

Halloween 2009

So I know I have been slacking on blogging, but I have been busy. It is only the 3rd week in November. Oh well. I didn't make any costumes this year, we just used what we had. I got to have a break since I had Joseph but Next year will be awesome. We are already planning. It will be good. You will have to wait and see. Here are the cute kids. They had lots of fun going trick or treating and got lots of candy. It is all gone! Yeah I'm happy about that!! It was warm this year so they didn't have to wear coats. Oh yeah. Lydia was sick on Halloween, that was sad. But Jason pushed her in the stroller up to every door so she wouldn't miss out. What a good Daddy!! I need to get some pictures of my dad's camera because I don't have all the group shots. Lydia and Lacey were Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Luke was a firefighter, Joseph was a bear, and Jason was a rocker and I was a witch.

Pudding

After preschool the twins and I made some pudding. They love helping and making it and eating it. Supper easy. They said it was good! So that fun for them!! Here is the recipe just in case anyone wanted to make it with there kids (or by themselves)


Real Homemade Chocolate Pudding
(Almost as fast as the boxed kind)
Serves 4

1 egg yolk
2 cups milk
1/4 cup flour or cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons mini-chocolate chips

In a small bowl, using a wire whisk, mix the egg yolk and milk
together well.

In your saucepan, mix together the dry ingredients until well blended.
Slowly stir in milk/egg mixture. Go easy?you don't want it lumpy (use
your wire whisk). Heat over low heat and continue to stir until
mixture thickens.

Pour into pudding cups. Sprinkle the top with the mini-chocolate chips
(they will melt?this is a good thing. Swirl before you inhale.)

Chill or serve warm.
