Gifts with love..

I have this big hobby of buying beads, I've designed and made jewelry since I was in high school but I hadn't really made anything in the last 3 maybe 4 yrs except for buying lots of beads and storing them, so I finally pulled my collection out and made some really cute earrings and necklaces for my sister's birthday. I was very pleased with how they turned out and I think they liked them too!

the ones on the left (blue) were leech's because she likes the smaller stuff and the black tear drop ones are Nan's.

Leech & Nan's birthday party

Sunday morning, my mom calls me at 8:30 am with the intention of planning something last minute to celebrate the twins' birthday... so, since Leech is the one with the bigger house my mom suggested (sorta) to get together at her house at 5 pm. Everything was very good, we made tostadas de pollo y carne. And since it was all almost unplanned instead of having the usual cake, my mommy made this delicious gelatina mosaico (mosaic jell-o).

I love that both my sisters are older and married, I never got to really hang out with them before now we have more things in common (husbands, children, careers) its awesome. I love them so much!

We love going to Garner Village during October because the kids love their witches decoration and I love going to the little stores and shop, except this time we went late and the stores were about to close so I missed my fun that time... I am planning on going this weekend again but this time I will go early and hopefully I can bring my sisters with me and have our fun

Silly kids...

Chloee 4 months

Our Chloee turned 4 months old. She is growing so quick and is so smart, she's got her daddy wrapped around her finger. She'll fight me and stay awake until Hyrum gets home from work just so he can rock her to sleep so I've started a rule that the kids will go to bed by 8 pm (including chlo) and she's been really good at it, she'll sleep for 10 hrs straight, it's great!!

She is so much fun, she loves playing with Josh and Katie, and loves chatting with mommy and daddy, she loves giving away little smiles to almost anyone that talks to her. She does have a bad habit, she likes to watch TV a little too much, the other day, I was nursing her and the tv was on so she kept turning to see what was on tv so I turned it off so she could focus on eating, so this missy got really mad and started crying so loud I just laughed, but from that day on I don't nurse while watching TV.

We took some pictures today just because I found my camera again from being lost...

What a cutie!

Katie, Chloee & Josh

Finally!

My camera had been lost for a good 3 weeks and I was going crazy trying to find it. Of course, it was in my diaper bag duh.. I always leave it in there but I also always leave the diaper bag inside the car is its kinda hard for me to haul 3 kids, my handbag, etc so bringing the diaper bag is a definite NO that's why it stays safely in the car for when I need it since Chloee breasfeeds there's no need for it :-) .

Grandma Christensen came about 3 or 4 wks ago and we got some pictures of her making Chloee laugh. She loves her grandkids so much and of course the kids love her too.

Losing hair!

A week ago I noticed that I started losing my hair, but this isn't just little hair, I mean HUGE hair loss, I washed my hair, combed it, and even running my fingers through it and it falls in the handfuls! I knew that after birth you usually lose some hair and in fact with after Josh was born I lost so much hair I had a bald spot on the crown of my head, but this is more than before and beyond normal hair loss or so I thought, so I googled my problem and found a website called babycenter and began reading comments from other moms with the same issue and I was totally relieved. I told Hyrum about my problem and he said he would buy me a colored spray that is supposed to cover bald spots.. What?!! not nice at all, and if he was trying to be helpful, it didn't help and totally made the situation even worse!!
