Family Pics

 Here are a few teasers. You will have to wait for Christmas for the family pic. My sister in law Jessie took these shots for us. She is AWESOME. We didn't get a whole lot of individuals because, lets face it, it was freezing and I had to bribe Randy to even to do it in the first place (so we had to keep it as short as possible.)

Sum up

The holidays are coming,which means less and less time I am sitting at my computer documenting everything. I feel I have been really bad at it lately because 3 kids keep me a little busier than planned. I have these moments in my head where I think, "Remember this." And then it leaves my mind never to be thought of again. I wanted to jot a few things down.


Jents-
Vocabulary:
foon=spoon
yike=like
sharp=knife
doorer=dora
cereaer=cereal
Fest Fest= Breakfast
Phrases:
"I wanna hold you" When she wants to be held
"Ah, help a you" Help me
"Hair so pretty a me." Pretty hair
"Ah hungry, I wanna show Mama" When she tells me what she wants to eat
"Get more Mama" Anytime I am done eating anything

Jay-
Has been spending some time going over to friends houses. This is kinda new for him, but he is right at that age where he never wants to be home. He was over at his friends house and they raked some leaves. Right there they decided that they wanted to rake leaves for everyone in the neighborhood. (Wouldn't that be nice.) After they finished the first pile they rethought that decision.

Cort-
He is so smiley. He has had a few bowel issues lately, but I think the cocktail we have been using to mix up his bottle is now working. A scoop of regular formula, a scoop of AR formula and then a probiotic. He also has about 4oz of apple prune juice. Yum. He is rolling all over and I am looking forward to him sitting up.

Rans-
Works. He has a friend ( Mike) who he works with who is recovering from a stroke/brain bleed. He has been in a coma for 2 weeks and just recently woke up. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. It has been really hard on Randy and he is doing a good job of still pressing forward.

Me-
The usual. Got a haircut/color, that's pretty exciting for me. Got a flu shot, that's not very exciting for me.  I also got a physical because I haven't had one in over 10 years. I have high cholesterol...add it to the list. Busy trying to get creative for a poor Christmas this year. The good news is that I think we are all in the same boat. I went and saw "Breaking Dawn" and that just about sums up the excitement in my life.

Cort has been through a lot. We ended up taking him to a GI specialist. He then had a stool sample and an upper barium GI done. We finally ended up giving him a formula with added rice so he wouldn't spit up as much. He was able to do better on it and gain a little weight. We are monitoring him to make sure he is on track. We have the hardest time getting him to nap. He normally doesn't sleep for longer then 20-30 minutes. He also wants me to hold him all day, such a Mama's boy.

Halloween

 This year  the kids were exactly what they were last year. That's just how it ended up. We did have to buy Jay a new Darth Vader costume because his other one would have been capris. So, it was kinda nice to not have to think of anything new.We went to Kelly's ward trunk or treat (We have for the past 3 years) and then on actual Halloween we went over to The Carpenters for home made soup and trick or treating. We had a blast and Jensen practically wanted to sleep with her candy bucket. She wouldn't let it out of her site.
