I was just experimenting how to download pictures. I figured it out!! This is a picture of the kiddies. My 2 year old was not cooperating that day with my Cingular bar pose. I was trying to get them all in order. Oh well. At least they are all in one picture. Now that I have figured it out I can post more pictures.

I think I am heading into deep mourning!!! Tomorrow is the day that I was suppose to go on my annual girls trip with my sisters and a couple of family friends. For the past 8 years or so we head to the OC Irvine area and shop and eat and sleep KIDFREE. We leave on Thursday and come home on Sunday. Our favorite thing to do is shop at Fashion Island and Southcoast Plaza. We also head to the OC Swap Meet on Saturday for a couple of hours. SSOOO fun!! This year I am not going due to the fact that Lawson is to little. I dont breast feed, so that is not the problem, but he is not quite 3 months old and I would miss him. A few weeks ago he had to be in the hospital for a few days for RSV. Luckily my mothers intuition could tell that his breathing was a lttle off and he wasnt eating that much. My husband, bless his heart didnt notice too much difference in the baby which makes me nervous also about leaving him. My husband usually takes the days off for me to go and doesnt complain, but this year he said that it would be too overwelming for him. I totally understand, but it is sad. Next year for sure. The littlest I have left at home with dad is 7 months. Luckily I have great friends in my ward who are going with me on a Girls day out on Saturday. We are going to shop and eat and maybe catch a movie. I am excited. It will definitely help with my sadness!

Oh man! I thought I had better get this written before the baby wakes up. First of all I am so glad that I am not the only one out there that loses it! Sometimes you feel that you are the only one. So today I started off with a fresh attitude not to yell and what do I do???? My mom always said that she tried to send us kids off for the day happy, so I have always tried to have that in mind........well I have a veryyyyy picky 6 year old who really pushes my buttons. He wears a sweatshirt 24/7 and they have to be certain types of sweatshirts. My older kids always wanted to wear the zip up hoodies, so I have a TON of those. Not this little dear. He wants a pullover. I have some of those as well, but he cant find his black one and his tan one is dirty, so I sent him off with no sweatshirt and upset. SSSSOOOOOO mad at myself. Other then this morning, today should be a good day. It is Wed. Lunch day. Every Wed. a bunch of us get together and go to lunch. It is so fun and it gives you something to look forward to. Anything that involves and diet Coke and a yummy food makes me happy. Well I had better get something done before my little appendage wakes up. Thank you for letting me into your blogging world. It is so exciting and a great way for me to get out my feelings!! I also need to post some pictures, as soon as I figure out how to do it. I am not that salvy yet. I am sure it is not hard....

Well so far today has been a good day. I got up, showered did a load of laundry, got the 2 youngest readyand I was off to Target. Since I have had the baby my sweet husband gets up and gets the older 4 off to school so I can sleep in. I get up with the baby so it is a nice deal. Lawson sleeps throught the night usually. He gets up between 6 or 7. He is a pretty good baby. Anyway, back to Target. I love it there. It is so fun. I love going along the back isles looking for bargains. I am easily excited.I brought my stuff home and unloaded, fed the baby and watched some of Finding Nemo for the billionth time with Hayden and headed off to pick the kids up from school. We live 2 blocks from the school, but it has been raining, so I picked them up. THEN it turns into wacko land. I love the little sweeties, but it is hard to stay patient. Tonight we have our Scout dinner at the church so we had to make and frost cupcakes into some clever theme(my brain hurts from trying to come up with one). I am not very clever. Meanwhile my six year old wants to "help" and the baby is screaming bloody murder. That is when I start to lose it. I hate it when I lose my patience. It makes me feel like such a looser parent. I sometimes can see that my kids are quick to lose it with each other and that makes me feel even worse, because they get it from me. All I can do is try every day to be a better mom. Well I am off to help with homework.............

Well it finally happened. This is the worst part for me having a baby, well next to the morning sickness. My hair is starting to fall out. It happens about the 2-3 month after having my babies. I was in the shower this morning and there were strands everywhere. I have great pregnancys, I only gain about 15 pounds and dont have to wear maternity clothes until the 6th or so month so I guess I shouldnt complain. Plus I have a sweet baby in the other room. Today is a typical Saturday. Cleaning and doing laundry aaaaaaaaaaaallllllll day long. Doing laundry for 8 people is a full time job. I can happily say that my laundry hampers are empty(until bedtime)GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! That is the frustrating part. Well I hear the dinner bell calling. I have Dallin and his buddy in the kitchen making french toast for dinner. It is great having a built in babysitter and a chef :)

OH! MY! GOSH! This is my official first post. Scary! I am sure I will be a bore at first. I need to get use to this. Today was a wacko day for me. My son Landon who is 8 stayed home "sick" today. I knew he wasnt sick, but he pulled the wool over dads eyes that is for sure. Dad is a softy. It was actually nice that he stayed home though, he entertained Hayden so I could go back to bed for a bit with the baby. NICE! I then went to Costco. I love that place. I could eat those yummy hot dogs all day. I then end up eating at all of the taster tables! PIG. I felt like a taxi cab picking up kids from school and dropping off at baseball practices etc... Dallin, on top of all of that wanted me to take him to the driving range with his friend,but luckily his friends mom took them instead. My poor baby was whipped in and out of his car seat all day. We took him to a get together at a friends house tonight for karaoke and a chocolate fountain(cant get better than that) and he screamed the whole time. I think he was just tired. Well I am off to what is my favorite time of the day. Tv time. I watch the shows that I have tivod. Good times. Bye!
