MESS

What happens when you give a two year old gum??well if it is my two year old he trys to make a necklace out of it, which no one notices till it is way to late to save his curls
this is the result, arg
You cannot see that the whole back of his hair is gum lined, what a mess !!
I hope I can save his hair

I am just amazed at how just the few I have seen turned out, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo greatful to her( you know who you are thanks a million).
What a cute family !!!

 

E.T. & the Thunder

You may be asking yourself
"why would Sarah let all of her children sleep in bed with her?"

This is a great question, so now that you asked here you go
It was a normal evening, put the boyz to bed. Hazel in her basinet and settled down to watch a show. Angelo had gone to play soccer with a buddy. All of the sudden I hear shrieks from the boyz room. Open the door and Liam is crazy scared. He finally settles down enough to tell me that E.T. is in his closet, " E.T. isn't in you closet" I say. "Jaxson E.T. n the closet an he eat me" (translation if needed : Jaxson told me ET was in my closet to scare me enough to stay awake because he couldn't go to sleep and he wanted somebody to stay up with him). I took a little while but I finally convinced Liam that not only was ET not in the closet, but he had no intention of eating anyone. So, back to my show I go.
I am just settled in and enjoying some nice "me" time when to what did my weary ears did I hear. Thunder.................arg. The first round passed, everyone stayed asleep. Then the Mother of all THUNDER shakes our house, rattles our windows, and wakes all my sleeping babies. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, the picture you see above is me with all of my scared children finally asleep ( none in their own beds of course).

WHAT A NIGHT
at least we got a cute picture out of it!!!

 

Hazel's Stats

Hazel had her 4 month checkup today

she had 3 shots which she braved incredibly, with barely a tear

the doctor said she is amazing

Here are her stats:

11 lbs 12 oz

23 1/2 inches

39.4 cm head circumference

she is in between the 10th and 25th percentile

She is our little petite girl

Happy 4th of July

Hazel got all dressed up for the fourth, so fun!!!We went to the Ridds house in our ward, this is a ward tradition. They live on the parade route , so we meet at 6:30 am at there house and everyone brings things to cook a huge breakfast. We all eat and enjoy one another until the parade starts at 9:00. We had a great time, the kids really liked the horses and loved the airplanes flying overhead.
Tonight we plan on bbqing with my fam, and watching an amazing firework display courtesy of a Highland resident who recently returned from Idaho with an amazing amount of fireworks.
My mom also said she is making churros, yummy!!!

 

The Jerseys

Angelo's Mom sent the kids and Angelo Costa Rican soccer jerseys They love them of course. Only one problem, I couldn't get over Hazel being dressed like that. I think I have just had too much boy stuff in my life. She wore it for the pictures, notice with a bow. Shortley after she was back in a dress ( where she belongs). Oh, well maybe one day I will get over it. Aren't they so cute!!!!!

 

Funny Moment/Touching Moment

This one brought to you by Jaxson A. Carvajal So, we are driving home Sunday night. We have told Jaxson we are thinking about going camping with the Smith's next weekend.
Jaxson says: "mom I don't want to go camping with Abbey"
Me: "why not"
Jaxson: "because Abbey always tells me no, thats not nice talk"
Me: "well we are going to think about it"
Jaxson: "No Abbey doesn't have nice talk, I like to talk like superman he says............"
because you cannot hear it I have to break here to tell you that Jaxsons voice now deepens, extremely
Jaxson: continued"..Hey I love you"
I have never laughed so hard. It was very very funny.


We are now home and we are trying ( not incredibley successfully to put the kids to bed)

Jaxson:" Mom, I love your face"
Me: " I love your face, too"
Jaxson: " Mom, I love your face because it is so beautiful"
Melt my heart right out of my chest, this kid is super charming!

 

More camping pics

I think Liam had the most fun of all, he ate so much chocolate I thought I would be sick just looking at him. He loves to be dirty and play outside, camping is definatley his thing
Jaxson really got the hang of roasting marshmellows, so cute !!!!
An aside: they now have coconut covered marshmellow available at the supermarket, they make amazing s'mores ( mostly for adults)

Camping

Doesn't this look like a great little campsiteNice fire, great trees, little stream( you can't see the stream :( )
We went camping on my 'rents back acre this weekend. We had a blast, we took the boyz 4wheelers, and my 'rents have a go cart. My parents have the greatest backyard. The kids played in the stream and made s'mores, the adults played scrabble and other games. We had a blast even though we didn't ever actually sleep in the tents, LOL. Every night there was lightning and rain so, we did what any campers would do ditched the tents and slept in the house.
How do kids get so dirty so fast. This picture was taken less than an hour into our faux camping. I have no idea how Liam manages to get himself so dirty.

 

Brothers & Buddies

Jaxson and Liam spent the day riding 4 wheelers until Liams ran out of batteries. No problem, Dad attached a tow rope to Jaxsons and he towed Liam around for at least an hour.
I don't know what we did before we had children, we must have been very bored.
Have I said how much I love summer recently, well I do !!!!!!!!!!!!
Boyz are made for summer

THE KIDZ

I have been trying to get a good pic of the kidz
These are the best out of litterally hundreds
Liam was the most difficult of the three he was always with his eyes closed or running away. It was a very funny experience!!!! We had fun though, well kinda.

 

Baby Wearing for the Papa

This is Angelo's first time wearing Hazel if you can believe that Aren't they so cute
She just snuggled right up to him and shortly after the pic she dozed off. I think they both enjoyed it, I hope he doesn't want to do it too often ( I am a little jealous). I am so used to having her with me all the time.......................... I guess I can share.

Lazy Dayz

We spent almost the entire day outside today. Jaxson has been "practicing" doing wheels on his bike, and making up new tricks with his skateboard.
Liam played in the water, and on his bike. Hazel spent the day swinging away.
I got to see a friend of mine that moved to Mississippi for the summer, and is now getting ready to move to Guam of all places. She will be missed. It was great to get to see her. All in all a great day was had by all !!!!!

Miss Personality

Hazel is begining to show us her personality. I love this age when babies start showing you signs of who they are. She is a very funny little girl & amazingly happy all the time. This weekend Hazel and I got sick, yuck. She begun throwing up on Thursday, to my surprise being sick doesn't make her grumpy. On Friday night we were about to go to bed, I had just finished nursing her and she threw up, after emptying her stomach she gave us a big grin and started laughing. Can you believe it. I have never seen such a plesant baby.
I however started throwing up on Saturday night without any smiles, grins, or laughs.
We seem to have recovered , thankfully!!!!!

 

Yoga Jaxson

So, I got this Yoga kids video. He loves it and I love it. It is yoga with the abc's, brillant.
"A" is for alligator now lets do a yoga pose like an alligator
very neat
Here he is in his
"B" is for butterfly pose spreading both sets of wings
SO CUTE
and not a bad workout, I do it with him sometimes (he gets a kick out of that)

 

Liam & the Lovies

Liam has always loved to have a animal, maybe if we didn't have to take them everywhere with us he would only have had one. As it is he has had a long line of lovies.
Above is the most famous lovie, THE RHINO
Liam had this lovie for about one year until the unfortunate park experience.
....it was a beautiful summer day, we went to the park. Liam brought Rhino as usual, everything was going so well, until we got home and realized Rhino had been left behind. We dashed back to the park conviced we would find him & restore order to our home once again. We got to the park jumped out and scoured the entire park, but to no evail. The park had triumphed we were forever Rhinoless.
It took poor Liam months to recover, but recover he did
But he was not to be taken again, he now has three lovies the two pictured above, & the one below. These lovies do have a value order however. Mr. Lion below is commander and chief ( if either of the other two are missing he can still sleep as long a lion is around) Second in command is Mr Horse, and next is Mr. Dog.
Mr. Lion is now our constant companion, we just pray he doesn't meet the same fate as Rhino
