Decorating Cookies!

Yes, I know lots of sweets this week. :P

Since we had leftover icing and sprinkles, we decided to bake some sugar cookies and then decorate them.

I helped Trenton make a smiley face

This is Tayven's design

Being silly.. He said it looked like blood o_O

Another silly boy

Daddy's final product.

Reisa's Birthday

Last night we celebrated Reisa's birthday by baking and decorating a cake for her. Trenton got tired and fell asleep before we decorated. Tayven helped me with putting the sprinkles on.

Here's the cake.. It was my first time writing with frosting so don't laugh :P

We sang to her as she came through the front door. Then we ate cake and ice cream. After that she hung out for a while and we watched the new episode of Teen Mom. :)

Half a year ....

I made it!! Half a year of breastfeeding down.. Half a year to go!! 

I am proud that I've come this far. =)

Yes, this is how he likes to eat =)

He is either holding his foot or pinching/hitting my face/chest.

Company For Dinner

Today was kind of a busy day.

I woke up and started on my Psych paper that was due tonight. Then, I went to Walmart to get a bunch of groceries. We invited Reisa and Devon for dinner, so when I got home we had to clean up the house. I cleaned the bathroom and living room while the hubby cooked and cleaned the kitchen. Tayven helped me take out the trash and then he and Trenton played outside.

We had chicken enchiladas and shoyu chicken with rice. Then for dessert we had a turtle pie with neapolitan ice cream. Tayven had fun playing with Devon, Reisa was excited to see how big Titan is getting and that he had 2 teeth (lol she found out the hard way), and Trenton was just pooped out from playing and grocery shopping that he starting dozing off while eating!

Also today was day 3 of toilet training for Trenton and he did really well with NO accidents!! He even took a nap for a few hours and stayed dry. We bought him a Thomas seat thing that you just put on the regular toilet (i don't use those little pottys) only because he LOVES Thomas the train! We also bought a stepping stool to teach him to stand and pee later on. I'm very proud of him. Hopefully he'll be potty trained by the time he's 2 1/2 like Tayven was :)

Doctor's appt. for Titan & Trenton

On Tuesday I took Titan and Trenton to the doctor's.

Titan was 20 lbs and 28 in, which placed him in the 93% for both height and weight. He got his shots, and has been fighting off a fever since Tuesday. He's a lot better than yesterday though.

Trenton was 38 1/2 lbs. and 37 1/2 in., which put him in the 100% for weight and 95% for height. He didn;t get shots because I have to have their shot records faxed here from Hawaii.

Both of them are on target for milestones!

A day at the park

On Friday we took the boys to the park. Here are some pics:

Titan :)

Tayven playing on the playground.

Titan in the swing! He loved it!

Me and the 3 boys

and the only close up of Trenton I have. The others I took of just him.. I guess I didn't save them "/

AHHHHHHH!

I have a few ahhhh's to share.

The first one is that Titan's first tooth (bottom, left side) has come through! I am scared to get bit. He wants to bite down on everything and I am scared every time it is time to feed him.

The second is that my three classes started today. I have Psychology, Anatomy & Physiology II, and Anatomy & Physiology II Lab. There is so much work! I have no idea how I am going to do all of it along with being a mom of three. I just barely got through it the last time I had three classes.

The third is that I went to the dentist yesterday and found out that my impacted wisdom tooth is infected. I need to have it taken out by an oral surgeon. There are no oral surgeons where I live, so I have to travel to Prove which is an hour north of here. I have to be gone for approx. 3-4 and I won't be able to nurse Titan. So now I have to get him to learn to drink from a bottle before that day comes. Which makes me extremely sad... I hope that he still nurses from me when I get back. :(

I want to pull my hair out already, but I can't do that because I am already going bald. "/

Please pray for me that I will remain sane through the next two months!

Homesick.

We have been here in Utah for a year now, and I have never felt so homesick as I do now.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of moving back home.

I get jealous and upset when I read about these family get-togethers that friends on Facebook are having or when I see pictures. I shouldn't feel that way, but I do. I can't help it.

It truly sucks not being near family. It sucks to talk to my mom on the phone when she's at my aunty's house with our family. Tayven tells me he wants to go back home too. My mother-in-law keeps telling us to move back.

I know we will go back eventually but the Hubby will be doing this fall semester here. He also has a lot of check ups for his eye. I guess I just have to continue "hanging in there" until this semester is over and then see what we will do from there.
