Catching Up!!

Before the madness of summer starts and we get really behind, I thought I would catch up on the past 4 months!! :)

JACE 4 months old

13lbs and our blondest kid to date.
Happiest baby!!
Sleeps through the night!!! YAY!!!
Loves to eat! (What boy doesn't eh?)
LOVES his brothers and sisters! Thinks they are the funniest humans ever!
Loves to spit and barf. Hence the bib in EVERY picture. I can get him to puke just by talking to him. Melts a mothers heart haha
We LOVE our Jacer! He has adjusted quite nicely to our crew!

Loves to sleep with his face covered. Look at those yummy thighs!!!


Miss Makenzie - Stinker, Sassy Diva, her Royal Highness.

HEAVEN HELP ME!!

This girl will do just fine on her own growing up with 3 brothers. Just look at her eyes, they scream trouble!! Ok maybe more in the second picture. :)

3rd Birthday

If you only knew!!

Excellent wardrobe choices! Even all winter long. all she ever wants to wear is Skirts and tank tops!! "They DO match mom!"

We have MANY tea parties at our house with just us girls, you should join us sometime!!


Parker Jay

Our sweet boy who has come a Loonnng way!

Parker is VERY silly and is always making us laugh.

Very good helper and big brother!

Still hasn't lost that stubborness!

Turned the big 05!

He LOVES STAR WARS! I never ever thought I would have a child with such an imagination and into characters. Tai sort of skipped that so its been fun to listen to all his sound effects and actions. All day long! :)

Parker at the beginning of the school year absolutely refused to go to school. I took him kicking and screaming LITERALLY (while pregnant) into school. His teacher told me to just leave. I only had to do it once. This boy likes to do things on his terms. (rem potty training?)He loves school now. He's reading and doing math which is his favorite he says. :)

T-MAN

I am so stinking proud of this boy i could burst! Tai was baptized in Nov by his Dad! He is such a good kid with a great spirit about him. He set out a goal to read the Book of Mormon before his birthday and he and Lance did it. They finished the night before his birthday!

Tai loves to do Everything! Wants to be involved in everything! He's an athletic boy and I am getting very excited for the summer to watch him in all of his sports!!

He is still in the Chinese program and speaks amazing Chinese! Better than his Dad! :) His teachers told us at Parent/Teacher Conference that he is an excellent student and friends with everyone in his class and the only area he needs to work on is the talking. :) Wonder who he got that from?? :)
I love that he comes right home from school and does his homework without being asked!

He is such a BIG help to me!!

We sometimes forget this kid is only 8. He is just plain awesome!

As for the other two of us.

We are groovy!! Well Lance spent the night in the ER over a D@%! kidney stone and I might have Mono, but other than that we are GROOVY!!

With these 5 in my life, how could I complain!!!

The Littlest-est Lamb

Fighting, out of the blue corner (what other corner would he be in Red? not the great-grandson of Doug Nuttall and Richard Meibos), weighing in at a meager 5 pounds 14 ounces, standing, um-er I mean laying at 17 inches long, born at 5:48 am on January 4th, 2011...


JACE DEE LAMB!!!

A pound smaller than his older sister, he is definitely the littlest lamb. But, just like the other 3, we expect a good fighter with a sharp, quick mind and a no-crap-takin' attitude.

Pictures for Grandma

Went to the pumpkin patch! Kids were in heaven!

Ashton "found' his pumpkin and would not let anyone touch it! He had to ride with it in his lap the whole drive home! :)

Just bouncing around!

Being Silly!

The Snow Family

The trampoline is done!

Tai's cake!!

Parker won the 100 ticket jackpot!

Play. Play. Play.

Birthday Boy's Dinner of Choice - Tepanyaki We are raising him so smart! Haha

Tai and his Best Friend Katelyn

8 years old!!

Finished the Book of Mormon the night before his birthday!!

It was a busy week and I am now paying for it. :)

Can't wait till you get home!!

Love you!!

Anything but Simple around here!

It all started the night before. Kenzie was up at 3 in the morning with a 103.2 fever. We could not get it to stay down so we took her to the doc. They did a strep throat test and sent us home with a urine bag taped to her to try and get a urine sample.
About 30 min after we were home and had eaten lunch, Lance calls me and said the school nurse just called and they think Tai broke his finger. (He was at Camp) Lance just laughed and said he would be right there. Laugh you say? Yes, cause this is our crazy, though sometimes entertaining life. So he called back the doctor and told them he was coming in again. Kenzie finally peed so he took the urine sample with him.
We he got to Tai, his finger looked like this-


He was running off the playground and tripped right where the the sidewalk starts and just sort of jammed it that way.


I left to meet them at the Doctor. I told Parker to please find a room and just play x-box for the rest of his life. He just laughed at me. :)
At the doctor all the nurses where glad to see us back :) the doc came in and said "Where's the calm family?" We just laughed and said we just aren't really surprised at this, after the year we have been having. We do things the crazy way in our house. She just couldn't believe Lance and I weren't freaking out and why Tai wasn't crying. She said she had a twelve year old in last week with a thumb out that was just bawling like a baby.

We were really bored by this point! Getting a little silly!


They X-Ray'd it and found that it was fractured right at the growth plate bone so they didn't want to touch it. SO.. they sent us to a Hand specialist. Yes another Specialist in 2 months.
He told us it was indeed broken and if we thought he could handle it (he gave us a look like it hurts like hell just so you know) he needed to re set it or he could do surgery in a couple of days. Tai got sort of panicked. They gave him a shot in his finger which made me cry. Then it was all numb. He came back and re set it in under 5 seconds and wrapped it up all nicely and told us if he bumps it he Will have to do it all again AND surgery to put a couple pins in. He will check it again in a week and put a hard cast on it. The are just concerned about this little finger cause its right on his growth plate and he is still growing. :)


Now Tai is banished to the X-Box room forever. :) Jk

He really is a tough kid. The only time he cried throughout the whole day was during the shot, and that shot looked mighty painful. It was in there a good 30 seconds. He still says it doesn't hurt yet.
I am so proud of this kid! He has been through a lot in two months. Good thing it happened this week and not last week or he wouldn't have been able to Swim in his meet. I Love this kid!!!

P.S. Kenzie's urine came back normal, so we still don't know what's wrong with her. But she's all fine and sassy normal today!! :)

Flaming Gorge/Lamb Reunion 2010

Can't go to the Gorge without stopping at the Dinosaur Museum. :)

Playing at the Resevoir!!

We can finally camp and have everyone sleep through the night.
For now anyways. ; )



Clay and Cheryl really made sure all the kids had a blast! We came home with way too much candy!



Made new friends

Just Chillin in a boat with Dad!

Ready to ride the river!




While Tai went rafting we went and jumped the cliffs under the bridge and when I say WE I mean Lance who is camoflauged diving into the water. Crazy nut!!

Moments to Remember:

Are we there yet? Twenty min after we left Provo.
Parker asking "when are we going home?" An hour after we got there.
Watching Lance dive. Over and over.
Watching Tai with his new buddy Jayton at "Rockland"
Yummy Food

Crazy drunk laughter with the kids trying to get them to sleep at night.
Kenzie playing in the mud
Having all 3 kids sleep soundly and buried in their sleeping bags.
Me NOT sleeping at all.

Catching kenzie in the candy box about 10 different times.
Hanging out with some of my favorite people ever!
