Peices of my Life

So after being a mom for as long as I have, I realize that scenes like this are not that unusual. Gage was sick the other night and he was very grateful for this fairly new bath rug that is really thick and soft. I tried to get him to go to bed, but he was afraid he wouldn't make it to the toilet if he threw up. He said that he didn't want to move and he was fine on the rug. Poor kid!

So I got him his pillow and a blanket and he spent half the night there. He never did throw up.

Now that my boys are getting older they have grown out of the quarter machines that give you candy or prizes...until they spotted one that produced fake mustaches!! How random. Then we went to the movies after and Kyler actually wore his. It was so fun.

Friday has turned into my favorite day of the week. It is the start of the weekend AND I get to spend the whole morning with this handsome little guy! While Michelle sleeps after working all night I get Zach. Here he is with chicken nugget in his cheek. So cute!

Yes he is eating on my unmade bed... He is the only kid allowed to do that. I absolutely love to spoil this kid! Being Auntie Heather is as awsome as being a mom!

Just one of the kids

This post has a few repeat pics since I accidentally deleted the post about our new dog Sandie. Since this blog is our scrapbook I needed to get these pics back in here. On Jan. 1st we got a new dog named Sandie and we are loving her! She is a sweet little Jack Russel terrier. Of course I made sure she was girl so that I had someone to buy pink for!

She has separation anxiety and HATES to be left alone. She rarely gets left home alone since I'm currently a stay-at-home mom but when she does get left, she claws and bites at the front door and this is what we have come home to a few times! Poor girl! So after some advice from my dad we did some re-arranging in the living room so that the couch was under the window and now she can look out and watch for us to come home. Yay! It worked... her nose is getting better.

Sandie is definitely one of the kids. She gets into mischief and always makes me laugh. One night at my parents house she ended up with white all over her. It took me a while to figure out what she had gotten into. Long story short...she climbed into my little brother's bathtub and rubbed along the side of it like a cat and ended up with soap scum on her sweater and face! Time to scrub the bathtub Jared! lol She has an obsession with bathtubs. It's the funniest thing.

Often she has her tongue out a little. Cute huh? She doesn't drool at all when she does this in fact her tongue gets completely dry. We just LOVE it.

Sandie is definitely fitting in perfectly with our family. This is my dad she is snuggling with in the above pic. He shares his food with her which is code for I love Ya! Sandie really loves my mom too. Every time we go to my parents, if my mom is sitting on the couch, Sandie rolls around in her lap for a minute. It drives my mom nuts! It's really sweet though.

I want Sandie's previous owners to know that she is doing great. She moped a lot the first week but I really believe that she is happy with us now. My boys LOVE her and she is played with a lot every single day. She sleeps with my youngest son and when I say "Go to bed" to my boys she gets up and goes too! She is so smart! We love her and she is truly a part of our family.

Piano lessons for Ky

Kyler had his first Piano Lesson on Tuesday. He was so excited that he started watching the clock an hour before and counted down the minutes! How cute is that? He smiled through the whole lesson. This is his teacher Jenni. She is in our ward and I know that she is going to be awesome. She is fabulous with kids. She just started teaching and so if your looking for a piano teacher...
