Pictures

We took pics on Saturday. Of course, I left the camera in the car and Whitney is gone until tomorrow night so I can't post any right now. We took new family ones with all five of us, Jared's two year pic, and pics of Sarah. We also took ones of the boys together. I can't wait to get them on the computer and print some out. I am ready to have more recent pics around the house. As far as our family, Whitney is going to have to get an ablation on his heart. It's a simple out-patient procedure. As soon as we have approval from MediCal we can get it done. Whitney is planning on going into the academy in November.
Friday was an adventure. I took the kids to Target with me while Whit slept. Sarah was asleep until we got into the store. She then proceeded to blow out her diaper. Where was the diaper bag? In the car. So I asked a lady to watch the boys while I ran out to the car. Then I got Sarah changed. Was she happy after that? Oh no. We sat in the snack area and I fed her while the boys sat very patiently. Then we got ICEEs but Sarah still wasn't happy. We made it to the back of the store with a cart half full of stuff. Sarah was screaming, Jacob and Jared were running around crawling under and through things, and I just couldn't do it anymore. We left the cart where it was and went home. As soon as we got home I put Sarah in the swing and crawled next to Whitney on the bed and cried. He semi woke up and comforted me. I wnet back during nap time and finished the shopping. My cart was still there. That was my latest adventure and I hope I don't have to repeat it anytime soon!!

Almost 6 weeks

Sarah will be 6 weeks tomorrow. It seems like it has flown by. She smiles now. I love seeing her smile. Jacob and Jared are still very much in love with her. Jacob loves to hold her and parrots everything I say about her. Everytime she cries it is announced through the house. I am glad though, that they don't cry just because she is crying. That would drive me nuts.My babies are so cute. Sometimes I can't believe that I have three kids already. Are we insane? Probably, but I wouldn't change a thing.
Whitney was showing Jacob how to hula-hoop at the Ward Fourth of July activity. I don't think he quite got it. But they sure had fun.
When Jared jumps, he squats and then bounces up and takes a step. Both vener leave the ground at the same time. Whitney was trying to get Jared to jump to him. It didn't really work. But it was fun to watch him try.

Sarah's first Sunday

I bought this dress at Easter because I thought it was adorable. Whitney thought it was silly when she wouldn't be here for Easter but, I ask you, isn't she perfect in that dress? I wanted her to wear it for her Sunday at church.
I needed a better pic of all three of my kids. I am still getting used to having three. I think the hardest thing right now is the lack of sleep. The boys are up about 6:30 but there's no way I can pull myself out of bed that early. And Sarah doesn't usually goto sleep in the evening until about 11or 12. So, needless to say, I am one tired cookie most of the time.

My menfolk were having a cuddle session in Jared's bed. I know it is so important for both Whitney and I to make sure we still give the boys attention so they feel secure. They seem to be doing pretty well. Now I am glad that Jacob and Jared are so close in age because they have each other while Mom is busy with the baby.

What's up here.

Mom and Dad were here and I wanted to get some pics of them. Of course once the camera came out the boys wanted in the picutre too. So we got this one. I thought it came out good.
Jared has developed this habit of wanting to eat crayons. Where do kids get this stuff?

And Sarah has developed a habit of eating, or trying to eat, anything that comes close to her mouth. Silly baby.

What a Day!

I just had a learning experience. I took three children by myself to Walmart. Am i insane? I must be since they were two toddlers and a two week old. We were there for maybe twenty minutes and they were quite a long twenty minutes. Sarah started crying so I was holding her in one hand while pushing the cart with the other hand and Jacob running everywhere. Such fun!! To top off my wonderful Saturday, Sarah decided to unload on her mother. I had to change all my clothes, ALL of them, and then take a shower while Mom gave Sarah a bath. I forgot how often newborn diapers do not hold all they're supposed to.

This is my frog princess. I can't believe how big she already after just two weeks. When I pick her up she already feels heavier. Why do they have to grow so fast?

Daddy's girl

I love the face they make when they don't want anymore food and you try to open their mouth. Sarah has the cutest kissy face.
I look at my baby girl and can't believe that she is already a week old. At the same time, if I was still pregnant, this week would have crept by. I am so glad I can now hold her in my arms.
Whitney came home from work, picked up Sarah when she was sleeping, and proceeded to cuddle with her for the next three hours. He did it again the other day when he got home and last night when we were at the Lowes. He was slightly tired after being awake for almost three days straight and fell asleep on the couch with Sarah. She already has him wrapped around her little finger. I find it absolutely adorable.

Baby update

Sarah and I came home Monday evening. She is so perfect. Our nights are getting a little easier. At least I sleep well between feedings. I think I got five hours of sleep last night. Jacob and Jared absolutely love her. Jacob wants to hold her all the time and Jared gives the sweetest little kisses. We went to the doctor yesterday and she was 8 pounds and had grown almost an inch; in a week! Isn't that crazy? She nurses really well which I am grateful for. We've taken a couple more pics but they're still on the camera, which Whitney has at the moment. So here's another picture from the hospital. I'll post more pics probably Sunday since I will three hours with just Sarah and I while Whitney and the boys are at church.
