Family Updates

Well, I thought it would be fun to just do a little update on each person in our family since it has been a while since I have actually written anything in my blog. Well, here I go.

Amy's Update

Well, is it sad that every picture I have of me for the last couple months is me laying on the couch with at least one of my kids laying on me. I guess that tells you what I have been up to. I have been enjoying watching the kids grow and then working at the hospital. I also have been in the process of applying to college to get my Master's Degree in Health Administration. I feel like I am always running and rushing to get things accomplished; dishes, laundry, groceries, doctor appointments, etc. Time is definately flying by way too fast for me.

Will's Update

Will has continued to do battery sales with Battery Supply Store and also works on four wheelers, scooters, and motorcycles on the side. He has been working on purchasing the battery store so we can just run and develop it on our own. What a process! I really hope that works out. Will also has the opportunity to hang out with the kids while I am at work. He definatley got thrown into the water with this one, but he is doing great with them. It is definately a challenge to take care of two babies and a 2 year old around dinner time. Will has learned the importance of a schedule and getting the babies and Kaleb to bed at a decent time and giving them baths. I'm sure bath time is not Will's favorite time of the day, but he does it anyway. He has been working hard trying to keep on top of life.

Thomas' Update

Thomas, oh my Thomas. He has been such a fussy little boy. He definatley has his happy times of the day and not so happy times. We are in the middle of trying to figure out why he cries so much. At first I thought it was just he was a fussy baby, but he definately should have outgrown it my now. So, I am working with Will and the pediatrician to figure out what is discomforting him. Despite that, he loves to be an active little boy. He loves to roll and talk even more then his sister does. His favorite activity is to sit in his walker and play. He just loves standing. I think once he can walk around by himself he is going to be a happy camper. He has finallly learned that he can stand and push off the ground in the walker and push himself around. Oh yeah, he went to the pediatrician for his 6 month appointment too and he weighed in at 15.4 lbs too. He is 1.5 inches taller then Kimberly so he looks smaller, but he isn't, just skinnier. Thomas has loved to eat baby food since he was 4 months old. He is the cleanest eater for a baby. Doesn't want to waste a single bite. He is definately not a fan of nap time and always has to be in the action. I love my Thomas!

Kimberly's Update

Kimberly is my cutie. We just recently took her to her six month appointment and everything is looking great. She weighed in at 15.4 lbs. She is climbing right on into the regular charts. She is starting to actually swallow her baby food instead of spitting all back out on her bib. She has such cute little baby chub rolls that are fun to tickle. She has learned to roll over and has been talking a ton. The other day she rolled over to Thomas and both of them started just talking away. Then Kimberly just started out in a full on laugh. I don't know what those two were conspiring, but they were having a good ol' time. She also has her two lower teeth that decided to finally come in after 4 months of teasing her. Kimberly is very laid back and not too fussy, although I think she is starting to learn from her brother Thomas that if you cry you get attention. Oh well, what do you do. My kids definately keep me running. I love my Kimberly!

Kaleb's Update

So, I realised I haven't done an actual update with words. Here it goes. We are all doing pretty well. Kaleb has grown like a weed. He is interested in anything I am interested in. I love how he likes doing a variety of activities so it doesn't drive me nuts to play with trains all day, or watch movies all day. His favorite activity lately is to take his toy airplane and go to the airport. Our small little airport sits on top of a hill/cliff. Maybe I'll have to take a picture next time we are up there. It is an amazing view of St George, well at least old town St George. If we are lucky we are able to watch a few airplanes take off and land. Since there is a flight school up there, the other day we got to watch a helicopter fly in circles flying about 30 feet from the ground right in front of us. Kaleb would get so excited when it would fly by. He also loves to watch movies on his little portable dvd player Grandma got him for Christmas. Apparently I need to screen his movies a little better because he has been coming out with some really not so nice things. The other day he said something about a "stupid head". Thank you Lilo & Stitch. He is so good about not repeating everything he hears if I tell him it is not a nice thing to say. He definately way to serious of a kid sometimes. I just love the times where he just starts laughing. His laugh is contagious. Kaleb loves to sing. He will be playing in his room and I will here him making up his own songs in his room. His favorite song is one I made up about playing with the kids. "I love my Thomas, I love my Kimberly, I love my Kaleb boy. We like to play all day long", and then we sing what things we like to do in the day like playing with cars, going to airport, etc. I love my Kaleb! He is so upbeat and keeps me on my toes.
