5 Years!

Today is my anniversary! I seriously can't believe it's been 5 years already. So much has happened in the past 5 years, most significantly, the birth of our three children. It's sometimes crazy to think that 5 years ago we weren't even talking about having children, and now we have THREE! They are amazing and such a blessing, and I know I couldn't do it without the help of my wonderful husband. The children adore him (as do I)!

To celebrate we went to the Olive Garden in Bufflao, after we dropped Mike, Katie and Baby David off at the airport (they had been visiting from Utah for the past 2 months). Tomorrow, my parents are taking us and my brother and sister-in-law (they have the same anniversary) out for all you can eat sushi and Thai food!!!

Any way, I love you Dave and I look forward to many more anniversaries! Happy Anniversary!

Michael Can....

Today Michael learned how to roll over! He was on his tummy and rolled onto his back. He did it about 5 times today :) I wish I had it on film, but I couldn't find the camera this morning. I finally found it in my diaper bag buried under a million things. If I remember, I'll take a quick video of it. My little guy is growing so fast!

This is Michael on his blessing day. Look at those blue eyes! I wonder if they'll stay blue.

My Kids Said....

Lately the kids have been saying some pretty funny stuff (mostly Rosie). Before I forget, here's what they've been saying.

Rosie (as she watches Joseph get his diaper changed) "Eeewww that's be-gusting Joseph. I can't get married to you if you have a poo poo bum. I hate that."

Rosie (after coming home from a wedding) "I need to take off these fashion clothes and put on play clothes."

Rosie (someone was at the door) "Someone is here. I think it's Heavenly Father."

Joseph (after getting in trouble for opening my door while Michael was sleeping and pushing the siren on his firetruck, waking Michael.) "I do nothing Mommy, I do nothing." (obviously trying not to be sent to time out)
Joseph eating his favorite food, rice cakes.
Snow White and Joseph (with his baby) watching a show in my room.

Two More Videos!

Here's 2 of the newest videos. The first is Joseph blaming his poop on everyone else and the second is Michael (around 4 weeks old). Enjoy!

New Baby!

I know it's a month late (4 weeks to be exact) but I'd like to finally announce the arrival of baby #3! We welcomed baby Michael on June 3rd at 7:50 am. He weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce, a lot less than Joseph did, and I could totally feel the difference in labor. He has blond hair and blue eyes (so far, things might change)and he's as cute as ever. I love him so much and am so happy to have him as part of our family. More birth details coming soon-ish.

First Video

I decided to upload all our funny family videos on youtube as a way to store them, and as a way to share with those who might be interested. Who knows, maybe I'll have a "Charlie Bit My Finger" moment. Here's the first video (taken tonight actually). I swear it was A LOT louder in real life. Enjoy!

One Month to Go!!

There's about one month left in this pregnancy... WOO HOO!!! Despite my record breaking weight gain, it hasn't been too bad... oh and despite my puking and fatigue (who am I kidding, pregnancy sucks). I am so glad this is almost over and in a few weeks I'll be holding a brand new, beautiful baby (boy? girl?) in my arms. I'm so excited.

Speaking of babies, my cousin Emily just had a baby girl, last night actually! I haven't seen pictures yet, but she's 7 pounds 15 ounces and they named her Lauren. Congrats Emily and family!!

Well, this is just a short blog post to say that baby number 3 will be here soon! Oh and to tell you the funny thing Rosie said the other day. Rosie - "Mommy, I want to get married." Me - "ok you can when you're bigger." Rosie (stands on tiptoe) - "I'm bigger now, I'm ready!" Later on that day she looked at Joseph and said "Joseph, you're face is all messy. Nobody will marry you." Haa haa, that girl is obsessed with the idea of marriage. I think she just wants a fancy dress and flowers.

My next blog post will most likely be when the new baby arrives (unless I find the time to post some long awaited pictures).
