i was already baby hungry

and my best friend has new baby that doesn't help. 

 

                                  He is a couple of hours old here and so sweet. That baby smell was intoxicating and kicked my baby hunger right in the face leaving me begging for one of my own.

 One day old and working the grumpy face, he was not a fan of the camera.

 






                                 




                               He loves me, look at those grins!

 Last night I went over with my kids for the first time in weeks (this is highly unusual since I go over there quite frequently) and Suze loved Ceigan, he did not feel the same. Just wait, he won't be able to turn down her charm soon enough.

 

                    












             Have I mentioned that I love this nugget?

Liam was so darling with him as well, and Ceigan didn't mind the cheetos.  

She tires to be soft, really, but I only a baby brother or sister will truly help her.

it's always a good day when the martha comes.

And since I have not one, but two baby showers in mere hours from each other (every few days another lady from my ward has a baby... i kid you not) maybe this will help get the gift ideas flowing. 

my man.

" If I had a work bench..."

I could make you that seat

I could fix that chair

clean out the garage

build a chicken coup

build our fence

make a headboard

I can't tell you how many times I have heard this.

But it's almost like you need a work bench to build a work bench.

So he spent hours and hours planning and working on this, it was so adorable like a little boy with legos.

 The man and his sidekick.

Almost done.

 Look how awesome it turned out! He is so handy. And super manly. But the most fantastic part is that he can get started on all of my projects. 

I am such a selfless wife, I know.

 Liam loved all of the power tools and attention from passing neighbors he couldn't come inside for more than a second seriously, I didn't see this boy all day.

He should probably be modeling for gap.

bath time is fun time.

 






  First the cuties, look at those happy faces! They are the most beautiful children that ever existed. Ever.

 







Susie was helpful and sweet when it came to washing Liam's hair but she let him have it when he didn't listen to her. 

 








 Liam has a wide array of funny faces and he offers them with zero hesitation. 

     (excuse the immodesty,but I had to)

I don't know how they did it but they started doing the same faces at the same time.Truly, my kids are performing monkeys.

 

  I love it when a chore becomes a joy, and with these two it happens often.

 congrats! you made it to the end! you really do love me!

this is tmi so

if you are my father, brother, or family friend who happens to be a man choose, not to read this.
--But if your name is Aaron then you have to read this because the children cannot read, so I blame you.

I was innocently jumping from the bottom stair (sometimes stair exiting can be fun) to the landing and I nearly peed myself.
    I have only had two children, what will I look like if we have more?
          A sad, flabby, young (let us remember that I am only 24 and plan to be done at 30 ish if not sooner) with a yellow purse? Will I wear depends? Or will I own a potette?
    Here is what I know:  I am a woman who can no longer jump unless it is planned and prepared for, a woman who lives in constant fear of stealth sneezes (they only bring shame and warmth), a woman who should probably stop all fluids at 11 am.


 I am a mother, hear me roar.


 Or yell loud enough to get the message across without pushing too hard to make myself pee. 

You know.

let's get political

 What I wore to the caucus, perfectly conservative if I do say so myself. My husband so loving  reminded me that I was to be a good girl and to not embarrass him, should I be offended or glad that he knows and loves me despite my spirited nature?

My ticket to the show, baby.

Not a bad turn out considering the snow and lack of parking. The most hilarious moment, it was asked of the crowd if anyone was there to represent the Gingrich camp and the crowd was dead silent. So quiet and then the eruption of laughter. Best moment.

Romney wins! I thought there would be a lot more drama due to the loud and proud Ron Paul fans, but the most dramatic part of the night was trying to keep tabs on Ohio with 11% battery remaining on my phone.

Side note:

Only in Idaho would they raffle off potatoes and crocheted baby clothes.  

The haps the last few days.

 

 I organized our junk drawer. This very much needed to happen as you can see. And guess what I found? Ern's BYUI pen he has had since 2001(?) anyway, a long time. He was super stoked, he has an unhealthy love for this dang pen.

 I watched this movie. Really, never say never.(ha). 

 My poor kids got so sick.

Sunday pretties. This was taken hours before I was blown on my back with this horrible cold. 

A big thank you to my friends for bringing me chicken noodle soup and popsicles!

Hopefully in the next few days I'll feel better and my posts will back to their normal awesomeness.
