Overwhelmed

Why does this seem to only happen to me?  I just hate hate the stress that overcomes me.  I just wish I had the "I don't care attitude".  I am having inadequate feelings as well.  I just don't feel like I can do it all.  The past few months I had been on the computer a lot.  This week I haven't gotten on at all and I still can't get everything done.  I have been mainly fall cleaning the house (every crevice) and laundry.  I don't know why it is taking me so long.  How do people do it all?  Callings, shopping, holdiays, weekly house cleaning, yard work, blogging (I need to update the kids!) playing with kids, teaching a 3 year old preschool, book reading, scripture reading, cooking, oh and personal hobbies, etc....I am feeling like I am not spending quality time with the kids.  I feel like I am just doing the basics at getting them fed, dressed, & sleeping.  Man I think I need some help!!!  I am even waking up at a decent hour and not stopping throughout the day.  And to think I still have so much to do tomorrow and it's Thursday!  What do you do to make sure you can get it ALL done?  Maybe I should be more on a "routine" by hour.  HELP!!!!

P.S. On a good side note that I can be very proud of.....WYATT IS FULLY POTTY TRAINED.  He does have occasional accidents, but for only starting at the beginning of September, I am very impressed.  Good job buddy!

2011 Babies

On my side of the family, 3 babies have been born this year. We will have another in December and in May of next year! We just can't get enough little spirits here! Here they are from oldest to youngest right to left.

Breklyn, Kylee, Oaklee

**Kylee is actually 1 week older than Breklyn! But that's cuz she was preemie!

Frightmares 2011

I think that frightmares is turning into my favorite thing to do at Lagoon. Wyatt isn't fond at all of it. He even says sometimes he doesn't want to even go. But, I try to protect him from the things he doesn't like. I also make sure to take him on whatever he wants to go on. I am so glad I bought us passes this year. I am sure we have got our money out of them. It has been fun to ride with him this year too. We have gone to frightmares every weekend since it opened. Wyatt loves the 2 kids entertainment things. One is a walk through maize and the other is a trick or treat thing. He loves his treasures he gets from them. They give out some decent things. Candy, toys, bracelets, rings, glow sticks, etc. I will be so sad when the season ends. I think I will for sure get them again next year. These pictures are from the first night.

9 Months

My baby Oakers is now 9 months old. It is crazy to think that how old she is now is how long I was pregnant. I swear my pregnancy didn't go that fast! Aw, when I think about being pregnant I miss parts of it. Now that 2 of my sisters are pregnant again it makes me miss all the fun milestones of being pregnant! Anyway back to the girl who this post is about. She went in for her checkup today. Poor baby girl has got a fever of 101. She didn't have to have to get any immunizations. She was going to get her flu shot but since she had a fever she couldn't get it. I will have to go back and get hers done. Wy and I had ours done.


Oaklee...
~Has 2 bottom teeth
~Crawling, pulling her self up to things, walking along furniture
~Stands by herself for a few seconds.
~Loves all types of food
~Doesn't eat as much as Wyatt did (hence why she is so much smaller than he was at this age)
~Loves music
~Thinks Wyatt is so funny (except when he bullies her!)
~Tottaly binky baby now
~Mommy's girl
~Wears 6-9 months clothes. She can still wear most 3-6 month stuff weight wise but it is getting short so it's being put away. Now that it is getting colder, I am putting some 12 month stuff on her. All her winter clothes I bought were for 12 month. So she will have to wear it big or start gaining more weight!
~Into EVERYTHING
~Will not wear headbands (Well she will wear the headband but she rips the flowers off and sucks on them. It makes me so dang sad. I miss them on her. She gets clips and pony tails for now.)

Here are her stats:
Height: 28 inches-75%
Weight: 18 pounds-35%
Head circumference-25%


I love this picture for 2 reasons.  I just took it and she will put a smile on her face for me even though she doesn't feel good.  And two, you can see her 2 bottom teeth!
