I attribute that to getting on instagram and now my focus is on that. But I still want to keep this blog up (if I can) so here goes.<br />

We had friends over one Saturday night. We all played outside, enjoyed rootbeer floats, and ran in the bubbles. Preston spilled rootbeer all over himself so he's sporting the diaper look.<br />

I took my babies to walk around the Gilbert temple. Unfortunately it was closed for deep cleaning so we couldn't get in the gates. But they didn't really mind.<br />

This is Preston's "surprised" face. Pretty convincing huh? <br />

My little lady friend turned 11 months old too. She's trying out some leg warmers here. She's a doll. And I love that she's getting a little more personality and attitude. She knows when she wants something and lets you know how she feels if you take it from her. <br />

And Olivia went 10.5 months without any sign of a tooth and then poor thing got three teeth in three weeks. Wow. Yet through it all, no fever, no fussiness, no nothing. <br />

Since it was way too hot to take Preston's yearly photos in July around his birthday, here are his 2.5-year pictures. He loves saying "cheese" and giving huge smiles. He is so curious (which translates into destructive and naughty) but we adore him. He loves fruit snacks more than anyone I've ever met. He loves doing things independently and can always be heard saying, "me do it my sels." He loves going on dates with daddy. He loves his green blanket. He loves milk. He is a spunky, adorable, talkative boy and we are so lucky to have him in our family.</div>

Grant turned 5 years old and I had to capture his age with a quick photo shoot while the babies were both asleep. Grant loves bikes, preschool, bungee cords, butter, Planes 2, playing with friends at the park, stuffed-crust pizza, and being goofy. He keeps our life exciting! </div>

Our angel girl is nine months old already. Her hair is filling in and getting longer. Her giggle is contagious. Her brothers love to be silly and make her laugh. Her hands reach for everything. Her mouth loves baby food (especially homemade baby food). Her smile brightens our days. Her mouth is still void of teeth (yay!). Her hobbies are sitting up or rolling around (no sign of crawling). Her personality is precious!! <br />

He chose to have a construction themed birthday this year. We had fun decorating and making it special for him. He had a family party on the 1st and his first-ever friend party on the 3rd. He had fun spending time with everyone! <br />

Grant is such a good big brother. He adores his little sissy and sets a good example for his little brother. Grant loves to count, sort, craft, play, race, and ride. He loves preschool and was bummed to find out that Christmas break meant no preschool. He loves being goofy and funny and tries to come up with his own jokes to make us laugh. He is smart and sweet and still asks me to cuddle or hold his hand when he is scared. Grant gets worried about important issues and cares deeply about people. Last month he got out of bed at night and came to me worried and said, "When we die are we really going to be together forever?" We went to his 5-year well-visit today and he has grown like crazy!<br />

Christmas was tough because all three kids were sick. It broke my heart to see them coughing all day, needing breathing treatments, having fevers, and fussing. But we tried to make the best of it. The children were still excited and you can just see the magic of Christmas as you look into their eyes. This was Olivia's first Christmas! It was also our first time to have Uncle Dave stay over Christmas eve and hang out with us. We need to do that every year!</div>

On Saturday we went with the Oborns to pick out a real Christmas Tree. Our boys have never been able to do this since we always put up an artificial one. It was so fun. I love the smell of the trees and the boys enjoyed getting out and touching each tree and saying "how about this one?" </div>

We enjoyed a morning at Mesa's "Western Days". We took a train ride, had a picnic lunch, and watched the Veteran's Day parade which the boys loved because of all the army trucks, helicopters, and airplanes that flew by.<br />

It was great to be together and of course, have delicious food. I brought the fruit salad and veggie platter. Dave came down from Seattle making a total of 7 adults and 6 kids. Even though events are crazy with tons of babies and kids running around--it's still fun to get together and celebrate the holidays.<br />

And only in Arizona can you end your thanksgiving day by taking your clothes off and playing in the hose and the water table. =) These boys had so much fun together--and got so wet!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One week ago today Sean was in a bad car accident on the freeway. It was rush hour coming home from work and a woman swerved into his lane, hitting him all along the driver's side, spinning him into the cement retaining wall, and then around to face oncoming traffic. We were so blessed because Sean was able to walk away from the accident. His minor injuries included seatbelt bruises, cuts from glass, a sore shoulder, and a sore neck. Our car is totaled and we now have a rental car until the insurance gives us the settlement. This has proven to be so stressful and time consuming and I know we won't get enough money from the insurance to buy a comparable car, but I have to remind myself how blessed we are to still have Sean here. This could have ended up much differently. </div>

Our little lady is now 6 months old. We are all so in love with her and happy to have her in our family. The boys run up to her and talk "baby talk" whenever she is awake. Yesterday Olivia had her 6-month appointment. She got a slew of shots including the flu shot. But luckily, she didn't get too upset. Olivia also got a bilateral hip x ray because of her "mild hip dysplasia". The results came back today and everything looks great. Her hips are healthy and normal and she shouldn't have difficulty walking when the time comes. Here are her stats...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weight: 17 pounds 12 ounces (77%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Height: 26.75 inches (82%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Head: 17.75 inches (98%)</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Olivia still doesn't roll or sit up alone but that's how Grant and Preston were too and they turned out just fine so I'm not concerned. I think it's their big heads and heavy bodies that make moving quite difficult.</div>

My boys went to their <strong>first Diamondbacks baseball game</strong> on a daddy date last Saturday night. They did well and had a fun time. Grandpa Steve went too. They even got a hot dog which Preston kept talking about. </div>

Grant was in his <strong>first Primary Program</strong> last Sunday. He sat on the very front row so we had a great view of him. He knew nearly every word to the songs and said his part loud and clear. He did fidget with his tie and wouldn't put it down for the entire program. </div>

We enjoyed our <strong>first General conference weekend</strong> with three kids. Grant loved the projects, coloring, bingo, and dot-to-dots that I printed out for him. Preston loved the snacks. Can you see the cookie in his mouth? And Olivia loved hanging out with and being held by daddy.<br />

Olivia tried her <strong>first taste of baby food</strong> today! I fed her infant rice cereal and she didn't seem to mind it too much. She ate maybe 6 bites and then was a bit disinterested. </div>

Just in the past week Olivia has discovered a fetish with her tongue. She constantly sticks it out and to the side! I love it. I think it's so funny. The boys get a kick out of it too. </div>

Last weekend we took a much-needed break from the busyness of life and drove north to Flagstaff. Sean had a little time off work and a break from school so we had to take advantage of it. We rented a nice condo, brought all our own food to save money, and enjoyed the cooler, mountain air. </div>

This was our first vacation as a family of five and it presented it's challenges. You have to pack<strong> a lot</strong> of stuff! Schedules were off (which is what we thrive on at home). Naps were not great. The rains poured for one whole day. Grant fell and split his lip. Preston fell and got a bloody nose. We were exhausted and grouchy at times. But I can say we did have a good time overall and I am glad we made memories together as a family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We enjoyed hiking, swimming, walking historic Route 66, picnicking, playing games, playing at parks, and touring an outdoor children's science festival.</div>

One week ago we experienced a storm like none I have ever seen. I rained for over 6 hours without stopping. Everything was saturated and flooding. Gilbert received about 4 inches of rain in one day! Our front tree had absorbed so much water weight that about 2/3 of it fell down. This created a lot of work for Sean and our neighbor. Our streets were flooded. Our park was filled to the top with water. Sean went into work an hour and a half late because of bad roads and delays. Our backyard flooded and water covered our cement patio. It was almost up to the sliding-glass door, but luckily, it didn't make it in. We were grateful that the damage was limited to our yard and not our home or our cars.</div>

Well we officially have a preschooler in the house. Grant started at Apple Blossom Preschool this week. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was not happy at the open house. He told me he was really nervous and didn't want to go.</div>

Grant and Sean ventured to Utah last weekend for Labor Day. I stayed home with the babies. The boys spent lots of time with the Oborn family and enjoyed a change of pace, scenery, and weather. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They spent time in southern Utah hiking and throwing rocks in the stream. (Grant was cold so he was wearing an extra layer.)</div>

Wow, has it already been that long? It was a busy Monday but we did get a babysitter and then we snuck out of the house after all three kids were in bed (7:30pm) and went out to dinner. I can honestly say I'm married to my best friend and he makes me laugh every day! <br />
<br />
Life lately has been quite crazy. I'm hoping I'll look back at this time and think, "remember how busy and hectic things were back then?" I'm raising three kids, ages four and under, with no one even in preschool yet. Sometimes the days seem long and we get grouchy staying indoors since it's so hot outside. We are growing and learning and trying hard to be patient. We are definitely in a routine with three kids but it still can be tough. It seems like more than one child needs me pretty much all the time and I have to choose who needs me the most.<br />
<br />
Sean works an average of 50 hours per week so his time with the children is limited on weekdays. He is also still going to school full-time and will graduate with an MBA in May. He was recently called as our ward's elder's quorum president which has proven to be stressful and time-consuming as well. I am in the primary presidency and that keeps me busy during the kids' nap time! Every night is filled with responsibilities and duties and we don't get much recreation done but I guess that's okay. There is a time and season for everything. My theme song for our life right now is "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. Seriously, I listen to it often and just soak it in. <br />
