Peanut Butter and Hives

We had peanut butter and jelly for lunch (like we do quite often) and about an hour later I noticed these popping up all over Mya. I thought they may have been chicken poks (she has been vaccinated but I have had a neice and nephew who were both vaccinated still get them), but by the time we got to the doctor it was pretty obvious they were hives. The picture was taken about 5 hours after they started, so they are pretty faded from the benedryl, but the poor thing is miserable. She reacts like I do to benedryl, half out of it and cranky! And this happened on a day that I was deep cleaning for the influx of family this weekend, trying to make something for dessert for Tim's court of honor tonight (luckily Heather also made something so he is covered), and I was also supposed to glue Tim's patches onto his new scout shirt. I made brownies from a box, Tim is going to wear his uncles shirt and the kids just ate cereal for dinner. Being a mom is never boring!

P.S. the doctor told me to try her with a small amount of peanut butter in a couple weeks just to make sure that is what caused it, but to be sure to have Benedryl on hand because the reaction will get worse each time!

Big Girl Bed and Reno

Here is Mya taking her first nap in her big girl bed! She only got out of bed once because she had forgotten all of her stuffed animals that she likes to sleep with, but once she had them she was good to go! We are so proud of her! And I'm sure that she will be so happy that she can get out of bed on her own instead of having to wait for me to come get her!Saturday we ran to Reno for a quick shopping trip. We always bride the kids with ice-cream at the end of the day if they are good, and they were super good so here we all are enjoying our ice-cream! Kylan said this was the best vanilla ice-cream he has ever had - it was sweet-cream from Marble Slab! He only ever wants vanilla so I told him a little white lie!

Emmit was on the floor in his carseat enjoying a bottle!

And here is Kylan in his "super hero" costume that he has wanted since last Halloween when his cousin Braden was superman! He puts it on daily and luckily we have an extra cape for Mya to wear too. The funniest part was that he made Tim fly him around the living room in it!

Two Months Old

Here is my big 2 month old. I can't even believe that it has been two months! As a special present to his mom for being one day shy of 2 months Emmit slept all night last night for the first time! He has been only getting up once, and for some reason 2 months seems to be the magic age for all my kids to decide it's okay to sleep the whole night! Anyway, he is crying, Mya is driving me crazy and it's almost bedtime so here are his stats from his appointment today:

Weight: 12lbs 1oz 60th%

Length: 22 1/2 inches 25th%

Head (I don't know the cm's) 50th%

We watched Logan last night while his mom played volleyball and so here are the three cousin's in the bath together! They had a great time!

Family Pictures 2010

Kade did our yearly family pics for us again and he did an amazing job! We love them!!!

*** Here is my business pitch for my brother - He is trying to start a photography business on the side and will be living in Fallon until January. He does a great job and since he is just starting pretty cheap, so if you need photos contact me and I will let you know what his pricing is and get you in touch with him if you want***

Here are some of our favorites.

Eating Cinnamon Rolls . . . Yum!!!

Yep, be jealous. These are the yummieness that we ate this morning. It's a tradition of ours on conference weekend to have cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning. And I know you are wondering and no I did not get up at the crack of dawn to make these. I make them the night before and then stick them in the fridge to rise overnight slowly.

Mya loved her's. She ate it like a piece of watermelon, it was pretty funny to watch. She squealed in delight when I brought her downstairs and she saw hers on her plate. She takes after her mom!

Kylan helped me make the cream cheese frosting and when I told him he couldn't taste it anymore or he would get sick he told me he was three so he needed to take three more bites (we tell him this when he hasn't eaten enough at a meal, smart kid has learned to use it against us).

He didn't get to enjoy the yummieness but I had to include some cute pics of our 8 week old Emmit. He is smiling now and even laughs once in a while (especially at his big brother). He loves to play with this toy and his floor mat and can hit the toys after lots of concentration and determination. Best of all, he only gets up once in the night now and the time he is awake is getting shorter and shorter each night so I'm sure sleeping the night is just around the corner! He also can put himself to sleep and sometimes prefers it over me rocking him! He is such a good baby, we are so blessed!
