cubbys

Since I'm cheap labor, I do all the grunt work.  We went to cubby's one night and busted out his new menu on the new wall they built.  It takes fooooorever.  This menu took 5 hours to write...help me.  Cubby whipped me up a salad for my hard work

eden month 4

I looooove this little baby.  I feel like she is my little soul mate.  This is her at 4 months.  She's so perfect, I seriously can't get enough of her.  She was sleeping through the night at 2 weeks old, smiling at 3 weeks, and now all she does is giggle if I give her the time of day.

lulu 3

I love this little indian

super mamma

cutest little girl around.  Happy third precious little lulu!

My favorite of the face paintings was Mia.  She was running around pretending she was a dog and barking.  Jude got seriously scared, latched onto my leg and wouldn't let go of me.  He even started calling me mommy.

yummers

Jude got his face painted and my mom said its the stillest she's ever seen a two year old.  He goes into statue mode.  He got the tiger.  See little Eden in the background?  Cherie took her off my hands while I was floating.

I stole these from Chelsea's blog.  This was lulu's third bday bash.  It was a slam diggity dunk.  It was chaos with so many runts and face painting done by yours truly my mom.  I kinda want to start face painting because the kids eat it up.  I told Cubby and he had a blank stare.  Maybe I'll one up my mom and start doing it with the carnees at the circuses and state fairs.  I'll be her main competitor.  

The party was so posh with lulu's own cat cake.  She even had loads of presents and pizza.  During the party I started to get some dizzy spells like I was going to faint.  I felt so sick and was having sick spells.  I left in a furry and it haunted my dreams because Chelsea's house was a bomb and I couldn't help her clean it up.  I got home and laid on the couch.  I couldn't get up for the next 2 days.  Cubby came home and Jude was on his own for 2 hours.  I have never been that sick in my life.  I caught something nasty in NYC and brought it back to my people in Utah.  I finally kicked the plague to the curb after 15 days of being bed ridden and sick.  My brain kicked in and I took a z pack.  I remember looking out the window and thinking, "when I get better, I am going to live every day to the fullest."  Please, now that I'm better, I'm back to watching keeping up with the kardashians and hacking on my computer.

 jude wants to be a baby again.  he sits in the baby chair all the time just like old times.  This thing was his favorite when he was a colicky one.

 cubby brought this pig back from china where he found it at a market for $1.  It was jude's favorite.  when you push it, it oinks like a pig.  Jude stuffed his mouth with goodies and then it broke.

 Jude found cubbys beanie and wore it the whole day gangsta style

 this teepee was blood, sweat, and tears.  Jude loved it for the first couple of days and now it's just a piece of furniture in our house.

 1 more inch to mid back

 I got these x country skis for cubby's birthday.  It was a slam dunky dunk.  We went x country skiing one day and he kept saying how out of shape he was and he was behind all of us sweating.  Larry tried on his skiis and couldn't move on them.  They were so worthless.  I think they're for pro skiers or something.  On our way down the mountain, Cubby was going so fast I thought he was going to eat it. I tried to catch up with him but he was going so fast and he would go around the corner.  Bye bye skiis.

Jude watching some ra ruff.  My mom came over to help out and I came home and our bed was made.  She probably thought we were the biggest scrappers.  We sleep with like 6 layers of strung out blankets instead of our comforter so it's safer for eden.  We are both so cold at night that we had to get a space heater.  We got our heating bill in the mail the other day and it was like $100 over.  Cubby called the company and they asked a bunch of questions, and one of them was if we have a space heater.  I guess those things are money suckers.  The scrappers that lived in the house before us never had heat.  We inherited some sketchy space heaters and a fireplace from them.

Kenya wishing she could run in the mountains like the good old times

invisababy.

The day jude discovered a trail of ants.  He was obsessed with them for hours.  He smooshed a whole family of them trying to pick them up.  Cubby came home and was horrified that he was playing and killing with the ants.  He put out some ant killer traps that night.  Kenya got into one and ate half of it.  We didn't want to take her to the vet because last time we did that with miley, they hooked her up to IV's and oxygen.  $5,000 later she was walking around in the living room and just fell over and died (a month after).  Cool.  We learned our lesson about vets.  We googled it and just gave kenya a bunch of water.

Our neighbors are straight out of the truman show.  They are amazing.  One of our neighbors come and snow plow our driveway every time it snows out of the goodness of his heart.

Cubby went to Japan on a whim.  Josh invited him two days before, and who could turn down a free trip to Japan?  They went to Tokyo and hong kong.  They lived it up high roller style going to bath houses, japanese karaoke, and eating at $400 a plate places.  Lucky.  I was at home changing dirty diapers.  Those were the days.  These were some of the presents cubby brought back to me: Some shampoos and conditioners he kifed from the hotel, beat down Chinese hotel slippers, and a shiny umbrella he found at the night market.  They were so funny.  Jude's treasures passed mine up by miles. He got some glow in the dark sheep that go above his crib, a squeaking pig, and a jumping frog all for like $3.
