GET A WIPE!

Yes, that's poop on the rock!

So busted!

There are many benefits to breastfeeding, but the one negative is what can happen with the other children while you are feeding your baby. So I'm feeding Regan, and Ava runs up says..."I go pee, I go pee!" AKA I've got to pee this very instant! So I tell her to run to the bathroom, but she insists that I come with her cause she's scared to go alone. Flustered because ofcourse, I'm right smack in the middle of nursing, I tell her to take her pants off and run outside and pee in the rocks. She is thrilled and strips down in a half a second. A few minutes go by, and all of a sudden I see her head peek in the door and she says.."Get a wipe!". I ask her why, and she repeats again, "Get a wipe!". Finally after some coaxing I get out of her that she pooped...I've never seen a grin so big! I had to capture this hysterical moment! Miss Ava, you never can be sure about what she'll do next! Gotta love her!

4 Months already...STOP GROWING!!!!!!

After shots...not a happy camper:(

Okay, my little baby is ENORMOUS! She is growing way too fast for my liking. Don't you wish we could just keep them all in a box and never let them grow? We just finished our 4 month well check and she's perfect in every way! She is by far my biggest baby weighing in at 15 lbs. 4 oz. She's in the 60th percentile for weight, 75th for both height and head circumference. The doctor asked about how the feeding was going, before I could answer he said "well obviously fine, she's a chunk!" I have to say I've always dreamt of having a chubby baby, and here she is and I'm loving every minute of her cuteness! Just eveyone keep your fingers crossed that the doc doesn't make that same comment when she's 16! We love you Regers Macgregers!

TRICK OR TREAT!

What a fun Halloween we had this year. As per usual, it seemed to last for the entire month of October. I swear with all the school, church, and friend parties, I really wonder if my kids really understand that Halloween happens on October 31st...lucky little devils:) Anyhoo...I have had this Halloween's costumes planned since before I knew Regan was a girl...I was going to do a BYU theme for the kids. Once I found out I was having a girl, I went and bought two cheerleading outfits, pom-poms, and a BYU jersey for Harry. As the big day started approaching I began talking with the kids about how fun their costumes will be. Both Harry and Ava inform me that no, that is SO not what they want to do. Ava wanted under no uncertain terms to be a "Pwintheth" (princess) and Harry HAD to be Optimus Prime. After I bawled a river (can you imagine, I'm kidding) I gave in because they are only kids once with big dreams of what they want to be for Halloween. I guess they can wear the BYU garb on game days. Although I did get the girls to wear their uniforms to the church party where the costumes could really be appreciated, but I couldn't talk Harry out of being Optimus. I'm so grateful Suzy, my sister could come from Chandler. We miss her and Nate so much! What an amazing aunt! I love her. We had a great time with our neighbors. They brought out a portable fire pit we roasted marshmellows etc., along with other food before and after everyone trick-or-treated. We got to go out with our good friends the Turners again this year as well. We feel very blessed to be surrounded with such wonderful friends, neighbors, and family. Hope you all had a great Halloween...until next year!

Guess who got her ears pierced?

Yes, it's true! Miss Regan Susanna got her tiny little ears pierced. I've been planning on doing it anyways, but it ended up being a spur of the moment thing today. Suzy and I were at Target, we looked at the clock and decided to see if we could race to the mall before we had to pick Ava up from pre-school. Mid-drive there we realized we wouldn't have enough time. However, with 45 mins. to blow and since Suzy and Nate are moving out of our home this week (SO SAD! I'll do a seperate post for them) I said, let's go get Regan's ears pierced! Contraversial as it is, I like doing it when they're young for this reason....they don't know what the heck is going on! Literally, she pierced one ear at a time really fast, Regan cried for less than 30 seconds and bam- done! She'll thank me later!

CABIN TRIP 2007

Every single year I love our family cabin trip, and I never think they can get any better. I'm happy to announce, this year takes the cake! Can I just say....I LOVE my family!?! I am ofcourse crazy about my own little family, hubby and kidlets, but I feel so blessed to still feel so close the family I grew up with. I have wonderful parents who live for us, and I feel like my sibings were handpicked...our personalities have always blended unusually well. What is so nice is they've all (excluding Kirk...but we expect great things in the near future) married people that fit into our family like a glove. We grow closer every time we're together, and every year we seem to keep adding adorable kidlets to the scene. We're busting at the seems and loving it! Each year for the cabin trip we also get to have Scott's brother Adam, and his little family come too...wouldn't be the same without them! This marked our 5th annual cabin trip to the mountains of Utah. We stayed in a great cabin in Brianhead. It was huge and beautiful. We had so much fun doing the usual. Eating, talking, quading, hiking, going on walks, did I mention eating? We've decided that from now on we're going to take the family pix at the beginning of the week because in 7 short days we each gain a minimum of 10 pounds....I wish I were kidding. But truthfully, that is the time of year I can honestly say I am the happiest. I love every single waking moment we're together, and get a pit in my stomach as the week comes to a close. I feel like the luckiest girl alive to have so much love in my life everywhere I turn. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone for anything. I feel like I just returned from an awesome EFY, but it's so much better, I get to do it again and again for the rest of my mortal life! The Lord has been good to us!

SISTERS...a built-in best friend!

Ever since Regan was born Ava has been her pseudo mommy. I thought like a new toy, Ava would want to hold and play with her non-stop for a week, then be over it. Au contraire! She is livid if I change Regan's diaper without her, she always wants to hold her, and take care of her when she cries. The only problem I have with the constant hovering, is the fact that Ava cannot handle it if Regan is sleeping. No matter what I threaten, I'll look over and there's Ava right by the swing AGAIN, eyes and mouth wide open, a grin the size of Texas screaming (much like the first picture featured below!) she'th wakin' up! Oh, yes Ava she's wakin' up...thanks to you my friend! I feel so blessed to have these perfect little angels in my life. What a gift for them to have each other. I don't know what I'd do without my sister. I'd be clinically insane! Now I just need a brother for Harry. I've told Scott he's gonna have to step up like never before with all of the estrogen raging within these four walls!

Guess who's Baaaaack!?!?!

Okay, the postpardom crazies are beginning to settle and I am ready to be a responsible blogger. I've never been an organized type to begin with so even creating this little ditty was a lofty undertaking. I am going to be more diligent however as I'm going to start using this as my journal and printing pages off every week. Regan is now 3 months old and growing like a weed! She is a perfect baby and spends the majority of her life in her carseat. She officially has taken on the name Regers or Regarino. Blessed child. Harry and Ava funny enough are the reason for my sanity AS WELL AS my insanity. Go figure. But they are so much fun. I love just being with my family. This is the best time of my life hands down...I'm trying to savor every moment, they are growing way too fast!
