Sorry guys, life is boring over here right now. Guess thats why I havent posted anything fun. We have all been battling colds for the last 5 days and Wyatts seems to be getting a little worst, he is coughing a nasty cough now. I havent done laundry in a week and there is a pile a mile high in our closet right now. So gross. At least Im feeling better though so i need to get on it.
I had girls bunco last night at our house. I was not a happy camper... I had been planning it for a month, everyone RSVP'd, I made dinner yesterday morning (chicken tortilla soup to throw in a crock pot) and it took me over two hours. I made dinner for 20 people. Well througout the day yesterday i had 8 people cancel, 8!!!! OMG was i so pissed. I didnt even have enough people to play. I scrambled to find a few more to at least have four tables (16 people) and finally at about four thirty (party starts at 6pm) I found the 16th person to complete the 4th table. Ughhh its so rude, thats my biggest pet peeve is flakey people like that. So Luke got home and took the kids to my brothers since Brandi was coming to our house to play. However right before he left the power went out!!!! THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!! My crock pots were off, i was trying to set up food and snacks and put on makeup all in the dark! Who knows what I looked like last night! I was on the verge of tears, you have no idea. It was so not my day! Mind you its 515ppm when the power goes off... I didnt know what to do. I seriosuly just wanted to cry after all that. FINALLY at 549pm the lights came back on, 549!!!! Gave me ten minutes to realize what the heck I had done to the kitchen cuz I couldnt see what I was doing the whole time. But oh my gosh was I happy to have power again! The party was still fun, everyone had a good time. Always nice to have a girls night.
Luke got home and went to the gym... first gym trip with his new pass. He was happy.
Other than that, life is just boring right now. Nothing too exciting. Pics to come soon. I promise. And we will see the twins sunday too so you will see the cute little boogers probably sunday night!!

Boring....

I Suck!
I totally suck, i brought my camera with me when i went to the hospital yesterday and dumb me left it in the car!!!! Jake said when they get home he will send me some though. If all of us are feeling better by this weekend we are gonna go over there and see them too so Ill bring my camera. Otherwise we are going there for Superbowl so you might all have to wait til then! I know, I suck!! But OMG they are soooo stinkin cute. Wyatt and I went yesterday after I dropped Jack at school. It was so weird to see two babies, and to compare two babies to either side of the family. I held Peyton the whole time, and completely fell in love!
Peyton came first and is the bigger one, 6lbs10oz but a half inch shorter than her sister. And you should have seen this blonde hair!!! It was like when a mexican kid comes out with a huge thick head of black hair only it was blonde! Sooooo much hair and so thick and it stuck up in a huge fro! It was cute. None of the nurses had ever seen anything like it! Nor had I. She has been super easy so far, nursing good, sleeping good, doesnt make a peep.
Regan is the smaller one and you can tell, her face and head were alot smaller than Peytons. She seems more petite. She came 16 minutes after her sister and was 6lbs1oz. Her hair was normal baby hair, darker than Peytons but just laid nicely on her head like usual. It wasnt super dark though, still kinda blonde. NOTHING like Peytons! Jake said she looks identical to McKenna when Kenna was born. Regan has been a bit of a butt. She cries everytime you put her down (Jake has held her 24/7 cuz he hates seeing her fuss). She is nursing pretty good too but not nearly as good as Peyton. Kristyn thinks she will be the tough one like Kenna was!
But they were all doing sooooo good and they are just so happy to have them here! Jake is hilarious. He is just one proud papa. I would ask Kristyn a question about the birth or something and Jake would answer it first. He cracked me up! He is just so cute with them and Im really happy they are both here and healthy and they finally had these babies they have been trying so hard for! They are two very lucky little girls!

They are Here!!!
Peyton and Regan are here!!! So fast too might I add! They weighed in at 6lb2oz and 6lbs10oz! One is blonde and one has brown hair!! Everyone is doing good! Cant wait to get over there and go see them... Ill post pics as soon as I do!
24 Hour...
No not 24 hours in a day.... 24 hour fitness. Luke and I finally got gym passes again! Thank god! We need them, bad.... time to get into shape again. I havent hit up a gym since before i was pregnant.... with JACKSON!!!! Ughhhh. I have Gianna as my new gym partner and I swore up and down that I will go four days a week, shooting for five though (Im leaving out fri and sat cuz i know it wont happen, just being realistic!).... Anyways, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! So happy to have a gym pass again! Wooohoooo!
PS Did you know Kids Club costs $3 per kid everytime, so expensive. Im hoping that doesnt hold me back (the fact I have to pay $6 everytime i go!)

Jacks 1st Sleepover!
Saturday morning, despite being hungover, I picked the kids up at 830am and came home to sit my butt on the couch for a little bit. Luke left at 1130 to go to Supercross with a bunch of work people. By the way, it was 80's night there so of course, Luke being Luke, put on the most hitious retro 80s outfit he had to wear for the occassion. So glad I wasnt going with him. Poor John had to be so embarrassed. At 1130 the rest of us went next door for Brendens 3rd birthday party. It was a hockey party so Jackson was totally into it. They played hockey, rode bikes, ate pizza, had cake, opened presents. And did I mention my kids were the CRANKIEST EVER!!! O my gosh. As soon as Brenden was done opening presents we were out the door to go take naps. They were awful!! I was so happy to finally get them to sleep.
Birthdays Again!
Yet another fun filled weekend. On friday night I dropped the boys and Kylee at my parents to spend the night while we went to Friends sports bar in Dove Canyon to celebrate Jeff and Bmoes birthdays. We went early with them for dinner and the food was delicious. They had homemade potato chips that were AMAZING! Everyone else came after dinner for drinks and to just hang out. The bar is actually really nice and it was pretty crowded, considering its brand new. Saw sooo many people I havent seen in a LONG time. It was fun and I think the boys had a great birthday (it was obviosu the next day when they couldnt move)..... Anyways, happy birthday Jeff and Brian!!

3 Years.. Going On 30
You know how everyone always say their kids grow up way too fast? Well here are a few prime examples.... This kid cracks me up.
Birthday Shout outs!!
I couldnt go the next few days without a couple of birthday shout outs!! Unfortunately I had no pictures from these parties! So this cute kid covered in cake will have to do!! This past Sunday was Shannons birthday, the big 2-8! We celebrated with a small group of us at their house on saturday... we all brought stuff for tacos and rice and beans and made margaritas. After dinner we played catch phrase which was actually really fun. Unfortunately Luke wasnt there most of the night, he and Ethan went to Supercross in the rain! He finally showed up about 11pm, just long enough for a round of catch phrase and just in time to help me get the kids in the car. Thats right, the kids came with me. They were super good, they love going to Shannon and Jareds. Shannons usually got special things for Jackson too so he likes it even more! But it was fun.... and Shannon had a happy birthday! Last night was my friend Erins birthday. The big 2-6! A group of us went to Kings fish house for dinner (took forever with 20 people)! I love their food... She was showered with cards and presents and then I ate half of her halibut cuz it was way better than my food! haha... We used to go to Kings all the time for her birthday, usually with her parents when we were in high school and probably shortly after too. So it was fun that she picked this place. Anyways... just had to wish my girls a happy birthday!! Hope this year is a great one for them both! Happy Birthday!!!
O and PS. Some of you may have gotten the wrong idea with my Wyatt post... I AM NOT BABY HUNGRY!!!! NO MAS! Dont expect another one outta me!!! I have plenty of them coming right now, and I can give them all back woooooohooooo!!! Speaking of which, keep your eye out for a post soon on the birth of the Fitch twins... she goes to the dr today and I am almost certain they will admit her and get it going, she is 36 weeks, and last week was pretty close! So cross your fingers for her!! Cant wait for these babies!!

A Year and A Half!!
Wyatt just went in for his 18 month check up... crazy how time flies. He isnt a baby anymore, he is a real kid :( Its so depressing! We went to his check up and got all his new stats... he was 24lbs (25th%) and 31 inches (also 25th%) with a dome of 18 inches (50th%). So he is pretty average, little smaller than average. He was so good though. The dr even said he was one of the most well behaved 18 month olds he had seen (i told him to come home with me then try making that statement!).. Dr Ball also came in with a new book, that just happened to be dinosaurs, like he knew Wyatt like the back of his hand. Every check up the kids get a book, its to encourage parents to read to them (and Im sure also enjoy going to the DR). I love our pediatrician! He said he looked great and was growing like a weed! The nurse gave him four shots. The first two in one arm, Wyatt barely flinched. Then when I turned him around to do the other two he started wailing, which made his brother cry as well. It was so sad. Jack was so concerned! Even before we left I told him we were taking Wy to the dr and he says to me "WHY? He has enough blood?" I dunno where that came from but he was really concerned that Wyatt had to see a dr. It was cute. Anyways, When we left they both got dinosaur stickers so they were happy on the way home. Mommy was kinda sad that her baby wasnt a baby anymore though :(

CHOMPER!!!
So get this... I really wish I would have taken a picture of this horrific episode but I didnt. So Im downstairs and all the sudden I hear a bloody murder scream upstairs... its Wyatt, who doesnt cry like that unless he is really hurt. Well i sprint upstairs like a freakin ostrich my strides are so long thinking he has broken a bone or gashed himself. Well as I reach the top stair I watch Jacksons little feet fly behind the couch and into his hiding spot. Totally gave himself away that he had done something to his brother. I pick up Wyatt who is screaming, but I see no blood and he his flailing his body around so I am assuming nothing is broken. Finally I ask Jack "What happened?" and he replies with "wyatt bonked me on the head with a basket!" REALLLLLY!?!?!?! Well i drilled him over and over again til I got the real truth outta him... "I bit him!" Um,,, what?!?! My three and a half year old BIT my one year old!! Is this for real? Apparentely Wyatt hit Jackson over the head with a basket and jackson retaliated by biting him in the cheek!!!!!! He had a full on bite mark on his cheek/chin! It was open mouth too so it looked like jaws had attacked him! Poor guy. So I sent jackson to time out... and when I got him outta time out I told him if he ever did that again he would get soap in his mouth and he says "But I dont like soap mom!" DUHHHH... thats my point! Which i dunno how he even realized he didnt like soap, he has never been forced fed it before. I kept telling him that though and he was so disturbed, and said over and over again "But i dont like soap mom." Well at least he knows he doesnt like it so IM praying that he wont bite again cuz he knows soap will be in his mouth! Ughhh my 3 year old bit my 1 year old, if anything I thought it would be the other way around.....

Still Amused
So even after a few weeks with all their new toys, the boys still havent gotten bored. Thank goodness. Its amazing what a few (or alot of) new toys can do to a kid. Since its been raining and we havent gone outside their toys and new movies are keepin them busy. Wyatts rocking elephant keeps him occupied alot. His new favorite thing his putting his new HUGE life size doll on it with him and rock, which I shouldnt say, but looks absolutely dirty. Luke and I die laughing, i have to get it on video so I can show him someday. Another new favorite in this house is Jacks new army stuff, complete with two tankers, a very large helicopter, a lookout cabin and guys and guns galore. Guns arent my favorite but I guess its part of playing army dudes. He now knows most of the lines in TMNT (the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie) and will watch it 5 times in a row no questions asked. His favorite turtle is "Leo the blue one". Wyatt got a new Land before time video which suprisingly catches his attention pretty well (unlike Jack, the only thing this kid will watch, i mean really watch, is the Wiggles). Oh and we cant forget the 500 dinosaurs Wy got... i feel like I live in Jurassic Park. They are pretty happy in their playroom these days, which as busy as we have been with organizing, taking down xmas, cleaning up after parties and of course the rain, has been a wonderful thing!!

Day of New Toys
Luke decided this past weekend it was time to clean the garage, especially since the kids got so much new stuff for xmas, bikes, balls, toys, that all needed to be stored in there. Plus it was full of empty boxes and trash from xmas. It took him forever. Jack and I went to the grocery store (I hadnt been for a serious grocery run in probably a month and a half cuz we were NEVER home) so we were gone for almost two hours. Poor Jack left the grocery store not even able to sit in the cart cuz it was so full. So ridculous, he kept saying "Mom this is CRAZY!!!" He told the lady at the store who was bagging our groceries that he HATES grocery shopping cuz mom takes so long. HAHA By the time we got home Luke was just finishing up and the four of us ate some lunch and went outside to play.
