Out of the mouth of Kass...

Kassidy is neurotic! I'm not kidding! She is a little bit OCD too! She gets something into her mind and she doesn't drop it, and she obsesses and talks about it constantly! But I do love her, don't get me wrong! Just this morning she was getting dressed and as some of you know this alone is a trial for her. Anything that goes on her butt MUST have a proper and perfect fit or she is bugged all day! Her favorite thing to wear is "stretchy pants"(yes think Nacho Librae?). And she loves granny panties(you know the briefs that come up to the armpits)! Well this morning I handed her clothes to her and told her to get dressed(she has a hard time matching things and likes me to do it for her). I had given her "bikini briefs" and jeans. I forgot that this is a dangerous combination for her. All morning long she was messing with her pants. Pulling her panties up, so she felt covered enough, then pulling the wedgie? out. Then finally as I was drying her bangs she said in her most pitiful voice, "I want my granny panties!!!" I told her that we had no time for her to change and she would just have to deal! I know, I'm a mean mom! But sometimes I have to help her through her neuroses!

Time Flies

Oh, my goodness...where has the time gone? My little (ok, quite chubby) Nathan is 4 months old today! Crazy times!
He is such a joy to have! All of his sisters love him so much! Even Addi, she's had no jealousy towards him! He's so good! And the happiest kid I've ever seen! He's slept through the night since he was 8 weeks old and only really fusses when he's hungry or messy! Although his favorite place is in Mommy's arms!

We are all so blessed and grateful to have him in our lives! We love you Nafan!

Another Crazy Saturday!

Kassidy's Turn
I told Kass that I would take her to Build-a-Bear after her birthday and baptism. So we finally went at the end of February! I said that it would be a trip for just the 2 of us, but it didn't work that way.(with 3 other kids how can it?) We started out in Bountiful and we were all going to ride front runner down to trax and then trax to the Gateway. Well, we missed the train by 10 minutes, so my mom decided that we should go to 13th South and ride trax to the Gateway(so the kids could still get the experience). So, we made it to the Trax station at 13th South and got in line to buy tickets and Sonja, Nate, Kassidy, Grandma, Emma, and Addison all got tickets and on the train. Jamie and I were slower and my ticket came out right as the train took off! So there the two of us were waiting for 15 minutes for the next train. I had no children, no purse(just the diaper bag my purse was in the stroller with Nate), no cell phone, and no key to MY van(Sonja drove it so she had the key). As we were standing there in that WONDERFUL neighborhood I asked Jamie(my sister) "why am I willingly leaving my van here?" Finally then next train arrived and we made it to the Gateway and Grandma was waiting for us. We then trekked on to Build-A-Bear.

Kassidy picked a bunny and the fun began! Sonja, Grandma, Emma, Addison, and Nate all waited patiently while Jamie and I walked along with Kass!

Don't they look like they were having SO much fun?

Kassidy is silly, fun, and sweet but I truly HATE shopping with her when she has to get something! She one of those girls who takes FOREVER to make up her mind! Decisions are so hard for her! So I was running out of patience with her over the outfits! Luckily her aunt Jamie was there to support her!
And here is the finished bunny! She named her cinnamon and dressed her in jammies and Grandma bought her the "bunny slippers" that I told her cost too much and I wouldn't buy! Good thing for grandmas right?

Then it was back to Trax with all of us making it on the same train for the ride back to 13th South and what do you know? My van was still there! Darn it!(I'm ready for something else to drive ;-)


Sonja, Jamie, Addison, Grandma, Kassidy, Nate, and Emma!
