We are definitely having fun in St. George!!!
Miss you Adam

Mommy... be happy!!!

I lost something important yesterday, and absolutely had to have it or I would have been out $30 and 2 hours of my time. I needed it pronto and could NOT for the LIFE of me find it. I was so so so frustrated, and when I get frustrated I tend to growl. I told Kevin, who was chowing on a cookie, that Mommy was not happy. He looked up at me, OBVIOUSLY very happy with his chocolate covered face, and said "Mommy not happy" and I replyed "No Mommy is NOT happy". He scrunched his little face up and said "Mommy be happy, cuz I want you be happy" I must admit I smiled a bit even admist my personal dilema.
He makes me happy, and no, I didn't ever find what I was looking for, but yes, I figured something else out and it all turned out it in the end and I am HAPPY.
Going to St. George tomorrow, should be exciting!!!

Eye Candy

I have not posted pictures of the kids much, and I have received a few complaints, so here are some cute little shots of the kids to satisfy.
Yes it is warm enough for my child to be in his swimsuit... I like it now, but oh man will I be dying in the summer.
St. Patricks Day attire. Grandma and Grandpa Endsley sent us this cute little polka dotted dress and when I went to go find something green for bugs to wear it was PERFECT. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Endsley.

When we got out of the car the other night the moon was shining a bit and Kevin looked up and said "what's that" we told him that it was the moon. He then said "moom" and then said "broken" "moom broken". I guess to a 2 year old when the moon is just a sliver, it would look broken. This kid cracks me up. By the way the picture above with him holding Katie in their green outfits was a bribe picture. The first time I tried to take one, Katie ended up spitting all over Kevin's arm and then he didn't want to hold her anymore. I told him if he held her I would give him gum (his new favorite thing). As soon as I snapped two shots of them, he ran off to get his reward.

Katie Bug

After I finished feeding Katie this afternoon, she lay her head on my shoulder and just cooed and cuddle with me. She is not a very cuddly baby most of the time because she is so alert and wants to see and explore everything, so it felt so special to have her just chill with me. I started to tickle her arm a little bit and her face got that dazed look on it. She started to lift her arm a little, most likely out of pure pleasure. She is definitely an Endsley. They LOVE arm tickles (the Stuarts call them arm scratches).
I have been such a slacker with my blog lately, so I am going to catch up just a little bit.
Katie started rolling over about a month and a half ago. I have a video on my phone, but it is really dark. She did awesome for a few days and then just completely stopped doing it. But alas about 2 weeks ago she showed her rolling skills and now I find her occasionally on her tummy in her crib.
She is such a sweet baby. She is now 5 months and 2 weeks old and she laughs and smiles all the time. She is NOT sitting up yet, but I am pretty positive it's just because she doesn't know she can. If we worked with her we would have a sitter fo' sure.
Kevin LOVES her big brother and he is enthralled with her. He will come up to her and say "hi Katie girla" in his cute little baby voice and he always wants to give her kisses in fact he gets upset if he cannot. When I go into her room either to lay her down or get her up he rushes in there and pulls himself up on her crib to see her and "help". He rushes to get his stool so that he can "help" me once again when changing her clothes or diaper, all while Katie is smiling at him. He laughs at her kicking motions and tries to mimic them. He requests often that she "watch" while he does something amazing with his toys, and she usually does even if she is eating... which isn't so fun for me.
Adam would agree that I am her favorite person in the whole world right now, and she often times cries and gets VERY dramatic just because she wants me to hold her. Of course I cannot give in all the time so she has had to learn to deal with it.
Daddy makes her laugh and smile ear to ear and she is pretty fascinated with him as well.
We sure love her and can't imagine our lives without our Katie bug.

Great Quote

I found this quote on a random blog I found and just wanted to post it to be able to remember it.
"I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
Ettiene De Grellet

I really like the idea of this, and would LOVE to be able to say I accomplish what this quote represents. It's a work in progress.

Nemo No...

Currently I sit eating and browsing the internet. Beside me is my little boy who just finished watching Finding Nemo. He is playing with Adam's little Mexico bobble heads made to look like animals. One of them is a fish and he is making it swim away from him and yelling "No Nemo, Nemo No...." He is so cute, I can just see his little mind working. It is a beautiful thing.

P.S. I haven't pulled the camera out in a while, so he has apparently forgotten that he doesn't like to smile in pictures. I love him.

No Sugar... No Happy... at least right now

Feeling a little overwhelmed at all that is on my LIST. I don't want to do it anymore. What I want is to sit on the couch and watch a chick flick and eat cookies, ice cream and chocolate all day long. Top that off with a really juicy cheeseburger or pizza (yes dessert before "dinner"). Of course then the aftermath of it all would hit me and I would be even more down. I guess I will just stay on the upward road... if you can call it that.
Day two of now sugar is almost done (I just need to close my sleepy eyes). It has been okay, I can't believe how often I have to remind myself NOT to eat this or that, but I think it will be worth it once I have a few weeks behind me. I have had some random headaches today... I am just now thinking that maybe that has to do with withdrawals of some sort. Who knows.
I'll keep you posted.
I have cute pics of the kids, but can't get up the energy to post them. Sorry.
