HAILEY & LEXI

GOING HOME

LEXI 5 DAYS OLD




LEXI 2 WEEKS

SHE IS FINALLY HERE!!!! BORN FEB 2, 2010 7LBS 9 OZ AND 21 1/2 INCHES LONG.

LEXI ANN DAHL HAS JOINED OUR CRAZY FAMILY!

SO NUMBER 5 BABY HAS JOINED THE DAHL HOME. SHE IS SUCH A SWEET BABY. LEXI LOVES TO BE CUDDLED AND ROCKED AND RARELY LIKES TO BE PUT DOWN. THE KIDS JUST LOVE HER! I WAS WORRIED ABOUT BRYSON (HE IS A MAMMA'S BOY) BUT HE IS CRAZY ABOUT HER. HE ALWAYS HAS TO KNOW WHERE SHE IS AND TRIED TO TAKE HER FROM ME WHEN I AM FEEDING HER. HE SITS BY HER IN THE CAR AND ALWAYS MAKES SURE SHE IS HAPPY. WHAT A GREAT BIG BROTHER HE IS. THE GIRLS ARE MOSTLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHOSE THINGS SHE IS USING. EXAMPLE - IS THAT HAILEYS BLANKET OR MY BLANKET? ASKED ASHLYN, OR IS THAT MY CAR SEAT OR ASHLYNS?

OUR (MY) ONLY ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT SHE SCREAMS!!!!! AT NIGHT FOR 3 -4 HOURS AND NO MATTER WHAT U DO SHE IS NOT HAPPY. BUT THEN SHE IS JUST THE PERFECT BABY DURING THE DAY FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO SEE.

I AM LUCKY TO HAVE 5 HEALTHY PERFECT WONDERFUL KIDS. I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT LEXI WILL BRING TO THE FAMILY.

What has been happening.

I have decided to take our blog public again. Yea! you can stalk the Dahl's again.


So Bryson is in nursery now. CRAZY! He has gone twice now and I do not know what to do with myself. I actually get to sit and listen to the lesson in Gospel Doc and Relief Society . Bryson is not sold on nursery yet. Poor Brother Singleton has to hold him while he has a super sad face and a finger in his mouth. But hey, he is not crying right.


I am on the hunt for two things:

1 - A super good yet super easy fudge recipe

2 - Some one to run (ok jogg and walk) with.

Qualifications: can not be in shape

can not run more than 2 miles in 30 min

Good company

So if you can help me on my hunt I would appreciate it.


Everything else is the same. My kids creat new creative messes every hour. Time out has no affect on them. They change their clothes 3x a day, and would rather eat oreos than anything I make for dinner. I have it made what can I say.


Dalan is back in school again. Nights..... It sucks! so he is gone alot and I am home alot. But it'll be worth it in the long run. His sister says we did it all wrong. We were supposed to get married and then be starving students, then have kids. Not get married have 4 kids and then become starving students. O well, we cant do everything right.

I finally broke down and we got a pet. Actually we got 4. OK dont laugh............... we got tourtisus. Yes 4 of them. They are so cute and the kids LOVE them. This is a pic of them. I mean how could you not love them. They don't shed, bark, bite, or jump on you!

Fun in the SNOW..

After Christmas we always go to Midway, UT. This year was Fantastic. It was not too cold and the snow was perfect. Ashlyn and Hailey learned how to ski this year. They are such Champs! I was such a proud mom watching them ski down the mountain for the first time. They are always up for anything. They were skiing and stopping and turning just after 2 hours. Hailey loved it, and Ashlyn wanted to ski sitting down, but they did it!

Brayden picked up right where he left off last year. I snowboarded while he skied one day and he beat me down the mountain and would stop to wait for me. What a sweet boy to take care of his mom.

I love watching my kids grow up. Everyday is different. They amaze me so much.

HO HO HO! Merry Christmas...

The kids were so cute this year on Christmas, They were so excited about everything. Even Brysons reactions were adorable. And of course this year I decided not to tape Christmas. Stupid Liz. All around, Christmas was great. Bryson had to finish opening his presents at night because Santa gave him a "Coaster" and he would not stop playing with it long enough to open anything. The girls got newbikes that they LOVE! and Brayden got a remote control car that he thinks is so cool especially when he makes it flip over or chases his sisters with it.

After Christmas morning we went to my moms house, which was great. The kids played with their cousins and open more presents. We then came home and I fell asleep till 7:00. That was my Christmas present. Thanks Dalan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLYN AND HAILEY!

Happy Birthday Ashlyn and Hailey!



Mandy made this wonderful Barbie birthday cake. The girls loved having their very own special cake. I think I ate most of the cake. All the kids were concerned that barbie had no legs when we took her apart.

We had a scavenger hunt in the sand

The castle jumper. The kids love the jumpers. We had this one and a square one.
The girls called the other one the "boy" one because it was blue and the castle was the girls .

Barbie Pinata. It was a joke when she broke. She is so little I couldn't put allot of candy in it and it just dumped right out in one pile. So we had to get more candy and just pass it out.


The girls Birthday Breakfast.

The Girls are 4. I can not believe it. We are so blessed to have them in our lives. Most of you don't know that I was put in the hospital with the girls. At 26 weeks I checked in. (I literally moved into the hospital!) They were Mono -Mono twins. Which is one placenta one sac. So they could touch each other and get the cords in knots. So Brayden was 1 and no longer had a mom. Within that time at the hospital I went into labor (the 1st night I checked in) so I was on Magnesium for a while, then tributaline. yada yada yada.... I had to get a blood transfusion because I was so anemic, and variouse other fun things. I was constantly on a monitor to listen for the girls heart rate. During my stay we had MANY scares about the girls having to get delivered earlier then they already were. The pediatric Docs came regularly to make sure I understood everything. With allot of prayers the girls were delivered by c-section at 3:00 in the morning 8 weeks early. Ashlyn was 4.6 lbs and Hailey was 3.11 lbs. We are so lucky they had no major problems. 3 weeks in the NICU and they came home each at around 4 lbs.

We love you Ashlyn and Hailey

Halloween!!!

Ashlyn and Hailey at the Trunk N Treat

Dalan Showing how excited he is that I made him dress up.

They had these horse behind a quad. The kids loved it.

Halloween was so fun this year. We were the Royal Family. Dalan insisted on wearing his mullet which goes perfect with his skin tone. (it was nasty). The girls were Queens like mom and the boys were knights. Bryson loved having a sword and hitting everyone with it. We went to our ward trunk and treat and then to a friends Halloween party.

Moab..

In October we decided to make the 8 hour drive to Moab to visit my Sister Jennifer and her family. Hailey threw up once on the way and Bryson threw up 7 times in the last 3 hours of the drive. It was a great experience. (NOT). We went hiking at the arches which are really pretty. The kids had a blast running all around and collecting rocks. We also went on bike rides and to a park that is a music park. It is really cool. It has these huge xylophones to play. Even Bryson got into it. It was nice to get out of the heat for a couple of days. Thanks Jenn for letting us stay with you. Sorry we got you sick while we were their.

Mandy's Cake's with Sass

So I have this Friend named Mandy. She is AMAZING. So she has been making cakes just for fun and she is awesome at it. Not only do her cakes look super cute, they are Delicious. This one had mint on top and the bottom was peanut butter. But nothing too overwhelming. I fell in love with the cake. I honestly recommend her for any of your cake needs. Check out her blog. It is under my friends list as Trent and Mandy. Yumm Yumm Mandy... Thanks for making this cake for BUNCO.
