Complete Frustration!!

Well for all of you wanting to know how we have been doing lately, we are doing great other than one thing after another going wrong. When it rains it pours!! And Hard for sure!! It all started a few weeks ago when my sweet little Talon woke up in the middle of the night for one of his nightly feedings, and I quickly get up get him out of his crib change his cute little chubby bum and go to the sink turn on the water to make him a bottle and rock him back to sleep, and by golly there is no water coming out of our faucet!! So at that point I run and wake Mike up to go under the house to check and see if it happened to be the pressure switch to our well because it sometimes switches off and we have to switch it back on to get water again. Well after like 45 mins of him messing with it and still no water we come to the conclusion that it was the well pump and there wasn't going to be anywater until we have somebody come out and fix it. (And at this point its like 3 a.m.)  So i hand the baby to Mike run to maverick buy a gallon of water so we had something to drink when we all woke up and to make formula for baby Talon. Got that done, put baby back to bed and i laid in bed but couldn't fall back to sleep so i got on the computer googled Dennings Well Drilling in Idaho Falls. I packed us a little bag to go and stay the night with my dad until they could come out and fix it. Usually it takes a couple of days for them to be able to come out, but they came out that same day and fixed it the next. But anyways back to the not having any water. We all had to be up and going at 7 a.m. to get ready for work. I went in and got Wyatt up started to make him some breakfast and he comes to me and tells me he has to go to the bathroom. So i tell him ok lets go, after he got his business done i realized duh!!! There is no water to flush the toilet. This was one experience i will never forget. I give tons and tons of credit to the people that lived with out flushing toilets and running water. I don't think i could do it. 

But it doesn't end here...... Then our wheel bearing goes out in the car so we had to get that fixed which was no big deal, but after that then mike blows a tire on the way home from work last night, which i just thank god that me and the kids were not with him when that happened with it being as hot out as it has been here. After we got that fixed today, I get the dreaded phone call that my grandma Smaelie has passed away. I am just losing all of my loved ones to fast for my comfort. I have lost 3 now in less than a year. I lost my very best friend in this whole world on October the 27th 2010, my momma!!! I miss her so much!! Everyday i have a little melt down. I keep it to myslef so that nobody notices but there is just no way that i can ease the pain without a few tears every now and then. And then on April 11th 2011 the day that i brought my sweet baby boy Talon Jay into this world at 4:40 p.m. I find out when i call my dad and tell him to come down and see his new grandson that my grandma Geneva Matkin passed away at 4:30 pm. As if not having my mom there with me when i had my baby wasn't hard enough for me i get this new. Then today i lost my sweet grandma Ardele Smaelie. They are so loved and missed. I just  have to stop and think to myself that one day we will meet again. 

Look A Likes

Every time that somebody sees my kids they tell me they look very alike. Well they deff look similar, they are brothers. So one day i got curious and i was going through Wyatts baby pics when he was Talon's age. And OMG i never thought that they looked so much alike but they do here is a couple pics of the two of them. LOL so cute!!

Wyatt

Talon

Super cute babies!!!

Such A Great Big Brother!!

This morning i was getting out of the shower and on the baby monitor i heard Talon crying in his bed. So i hurried to put something on and get in there as soon as i could to comfort him. Then i heard this little voice say "Good morning baby Talon! Did you have a good rest? I love you, your my best brother! " And this all came from our little Wyatt. He loves his brother so much and i am just so happy that i gave him such a wonderful gift! Well for Now!!! Lol. Anyways, so i get some clothes on and this is what i find.

Wyatt really does try to help me out when he can with the baby. These are the moments that make me want to have lots of kids. I just love the two of these boys. They are my whole life.

Talon's First Time Eating Cereal

When i realized Talon was getting to the age where he needed more than just milk, i went out and bought some rice cereal. I didn't want to give it to him because it meant that my little man was getting bigger than i wanted him to. It was a new milestone that he had reached to soon for my comfort. But i quickly realized that he would love it. So i mixed up some cereal sat Talon down and fed him a little cereal.

"Just as I thought, He loved every second of it !"

So It then made me feel better knowing that he really was ready for cereal and that i wasn't forcing him to get bigger faster than he already is doing. I love this boy!! His little eyes melt my heart.



4th of July

Wow i am skipping around alot, but i write according to my memory so i guess as long as its on here i am doing my job.

Ok so on the 4th of July 2011we gathered as a family for food, fun, and fireworks. To begin our fun day my mother in-law bought all the kids 4th of July shirts to have their pic took in. 

Here is a pic of the boys

And a pic of all of them

It was kinda fun to see what our kids would allow us to do. And i give credit to professional photographers for getting everyone that they are taking pics of to hold still and look at the camera all at the same time. There was always at least one person moving or not paying attention during every single picture that we took.

All in all i wouldn't trade it for anything i deff love being with family every chance i get, they bring out the smile in me all the time. 

 

 I will never forget this day. It was the first time that my little Talon laughed out loud. We were sitting at my mother in-laws watching the fireworks from the Rigby Lake, and as soon as a big one went off and shook the ground our litte Talon Jay busted out laughing. And i am not to sure if he really thought that it was funny or if it scared him and all he could do was laugh.

Big Boy!

So I took Talon Jay in for his 4 month checkup yesterday he is growing so fast! To fast for me to keep up with this sweet boy. I took him in and the Dr. came in and told me to undress him all the way. So i did and we put him on the scale, and measured his head and chest. This is his results:

                                              Weight : 13 lbs 13 ozs
                                              Height :  23 inches
                                              Head :   16 inches
                                              Chest:    16 inches

And he is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75 percentile for height. So what the Dr. is telling me is that he is gonna be a tall boy. His daddy is hoping he will grow up and play professional basketball one day. We will just have to wait and see. But for now i am gonna hang on to what i have left of a little bundle.

Ages!!

OMG!!! I promised that i would blog about what has been going on in our lives more, but honestly i find that the time i could be blogging is better used somewhere else in the house such as laundry, dishes, cleaning house and cooking meals. There is always something that somebody needs in this house. Which is fine with me i love fullfilling my motherly duties. I love knowing that my kids need their momma and what would they ever do without me. Time has gone by and it has been ages since i have wrote on here. It seemed like as soon as summer hit we were out doing something with somebody.

Talon is now 4 months old and growing so fast. I wish he would just slow down a little bit, he has already started teething but it has not came through the gums yet. It just shows how fast babies really do grow. And the say "If you blink you will miss it" is no lie at all. I feel like i am going to miss something if i don't constantly watch him all the time. He is ALMOST rolling over, it won't be much longer and he will be crawiling, then his first birthday, then graduation.

Wyatt is still his cheerful self he keeps me on my feet 24/7. He went camping with his grandma and grandpa last weekend and our house was so quiet without him in it. It shows what a blessing he is in our home and i would not ask for it any other way. There are times when i feel like i just need a girl day where i can go out and get my nails done or my hair done to get away from all the things i am doing at home. But once i leave i just want to get back home to my baby boys. They are my life and i can not picture a day without them.
