Frozen Tundra

Todd is finally graduating from LDS Business College and so the time has come for us to move. We had great hopes of going to BYU-Hawaii but life doesn't always work out the way you want so we are going to BYU-Idaho instead. 

Instead of sunshine and ocean waves we get snow.  We're a little bummed but in honor of our move to the frozen tundra we took a new family picture... Rexburg here we come!

The Kids

Its still weird to me that I have kids.  I know I've had 2 for a while but there's just something about 3... its like I'm actually a mom and there is no denying it.

I wanted a pictures of the kids together for Eden's birth announcement.  I didn't have high hopes because 3 kids that little isn't actually conducive to a posed picture but it was fun to try.  It started out well but didn't take long to deteriorate...

Baby Comparision

I personally think they look pretty different as newborns but Todd can hardly tell them apart.

Baby Eden

We are officially a family of 5!  Eden was born February 3 at 9:16am.  She weighs 7lbs 1oz and is 19.5 inches.  She has a full head of hair and is adorable.  The c-section went well and everything is progressing smoothly.  We are so excited to have this new addition to our family.

I want these

I'm not normally into these kinds of shirts but I saw these onesies and I seriously want them.  I don't know why I think they are so funny but I do.  If only I could bring myself to spend $10 on something for a baby.  I'm so cheap sometimes and this little one already has plenty of clothes.

The Dentist

I wish I had pictures or something but I don't and I wanted to brag on my kids anyway.  We went to the dentist this week.  I had rescheduled the original appointment because I had a panic attack about taking 2 kids to the dentist by myself and so waited until Todd could come and assist.  We have been to the dentist once besides this trip so Kensie was vaguely familiar with the place.
We had a plan - Todd would take Xander and I would take Kensie and hopefully everyone would still be alive in the end.  The hygienist came out to get Kensie and she took her hand and walked back to the chair all by herself.  I sat like a nervous mother in the waiting room just waiting for something to happen but nothing did.  Kensie got her teeth cleaned and got x-rays and was happy as a clam the whole time.  When she was done she showed me her brand new purple tooth brush and talked about how they took pictures of her teeth with a special magic camera.
Xander on the other hand was pretty entertaining.  He didn't cry but he basically refused to open his mouth and even went so far as to clamp him mouth shut every time the dentist got close.  She was able to see in his mouth and the trip was a success. 
Sometimes they drive me completely bonkers but seriously my kids are awesome!

Santa

This pretty much sums up how my kids feel about people in general.  I'm not even sure who told Kensie about Santa because it certainly wasn't me.
