The latest

I know I know I have not been a good blogger lately. I can't say that I really have done anything really worth writing about. It continues to be freezing temperatures here and I am so glad for our fireplace. Our electric heaters don't have to run so much when the is going. We spent Christmas at our home and then spent the day at Kellen's parent's house. I ate a lot of junk food and paid for it with my nursing baby having an upset tummy. We are back to trying to eat better and are not doing too bad. Both my kids are happy that we are staying at home and not off visiting everybody. They also take their naps a lot easier which is nice on the mommy. Kellen got to have a whole week off for Christmas break. Jet was so happy that he would be the one getting her out of bed. He mostly did it because I needed sleep because I would have to stay up half the night with Mason. That is going better as well. We are continuing to get things together to buy this house. And maybe one of these days it will happen. I lead the music in Sacrament Meeting and Kellen is in the young mens. I know this is short, but so is life and so I must get going to acomplish something today.

Going Crazy

So yesterday was way beyond crazy. Mason cried for three hours in the morning and had an extremely hard time going down for a nap. Jet kept taking off her diaper. Luckily she wasn't wetting all over. She learned her lesson last time with pooping out of the diaper gets her into major trouble. So I called my wise sister and asked what are some options I could do. I chose to start duct taping on her diapers. She only needs it twice before her nap and when she goes to bed. the whole rest of the day there are no problems of that sort. Kellen didn't get home until right as I was getting ready to put Jet in bed. He felt bad that what he was doing took him so long because he knew that I needed a break fom the kids and he wasn't home to help me. He held Mason for me until it was time again for him to eat, which really helped to calm my poor nerves. He doesn't know what I suffer. wink wink Mason finally went to bed at about 10 pm and slept through the night. he sleeps through the night because he has found his thumb. Yes that is right I have a thumb-sucker and everyday I loose ground with the binki. He likes after a bottle, but other than that he has begun to prefer his thumb. I love the sleeping through the night except that I wake up early in the morning hurting from being so full. That kid eats a lot. I figured that he is eating between 4 to 6 oz. a feeding. No wonder he is huge right. Anyway that is all I goy right now. Today is Kellen's dad's birthday. Mom is having a little party tonight. Which also means that I do not have to cook dinner. Hurrah! Until next time. Oh and for those who don't know Kellen and I going to buy the house that we are in. Another Hurrah. I tey to get some pictures up sometime. mostly for before and after shots.

Mason's Blessing

Here is the most recent family picture we have. It was a wonderful sunny day which was nice because the weather man was predicting a lot of snow, but the storm went around us and we enjoyed a nice day. Soup and salad and lots of desserts were fed into our tummies and we enjoyed it. I wanted to thank those who brought stuff to help. We sure missed those who couldn't come. But we'll see youat Mom's for Thanksgiving.

Halloween

I know it is way passed Halloween, but my computer wouldn't upload the pictures from the memory card so I had to wait until it would. We had fun. Our ward had a trunk or treat on the Tuesday before and combined it with a ward party. It had to have been the coldest day of that whole week, but oh well we still had fun. At the party Mason was a cutiesaur, courtesy of one of the outfits Cody gave me. Kellen went as a government worker. (He had just gotten off from work)

Flap those wings my little ladybug and see if you can fly. She is actually chasing a ball. But it is still so cute.

Moving

Yes that is right. We are moving. We are going to be loading up all of our stuff this Friday into a large enclosed trailer and head on down the road towards Arco. We will be living in our camper for a short while while we find a place adequate for us to live in. AKA Kellen wants to buy a home and so we still are looking around. My Mason is growing like a weed. I have already had to decide that his 0-3 month onesies are too small and that he needs to be in a 3-6 month onesie. It is mainly because he is so long. I don't know how I will keep up with him. Juliet continues to be my super helper and mimmicks what I do with Mason with one of her toy babies. Yesterday she tried to nurse the baby, but what I think was the funniest was when she grabbed a burb cloth and tried to burp her toy baby, then proceeded to change its diaper by putting it on the changing pad and getting a diaper. She also likes to try and get a hold of my pump. The funny thing with this is that she puts it over her belly button and laughs. She has been very helpful with me packing up boxes. She even started packing up my kitchen towels and her bibs to make sure they came along. Last night she was so sweet with Mason. He was in the swing so he could see what was going on and she was over there gently pushing the swing for him, then she would lay her head in his lap and hum. It was so very cute and I wasn't fast enough to get a picture. Anyway that is the latest update with our lives.

Can I get a break

I had forgotten how much sleep you lose with a new baby. Mason is 1 month old today. He is growing like a weed. I am not surprised because he eats a lot. Most newborn babies are satisfied with 2-3 ounces of milk, Mason wants 5 at the very least and he still nurses every 3 hours sometime less. He is going to go throught clothes faster than Juliet I think because some of my 0-3month clothes are already starting to be a little bit small. He might stay in them for one more month. Also we are working like crazy to get things together for the closing on our house. Doing quotes and deciding where we will put stuff. I will try later to put up some pictures that we took of the inside of it. Once again must take care of munchkins. This break is over.

He's Here

Mason D. Reynolds was born August 9th, 2009 at 11:35pm. He was born on his daddy's birthday. He weighed 8lbs, 5ounces and was 22 inches long. This is him after we brought him home.

Having a snooze in the hospital.

Jet really likes Mason. She gave him kisses when she met him, but we weren't fast enough with the camera to catch it. We are all home now and are doing well and adjusting to each other.
