The BEST PORK EVER!
I'm glad it was a success --now, on to the next activity!

Luau!
Last Saturday I put on a ward Luau, it was a BIG HIT! The weather didn't cooperate so we had to move the party indoors and it was a bit squishy but I think everyone enjoyed themselves!

Randoms
Once every few days we get some nice weather :) --Laex LOVES to be outside and often says, "Mom I'm going outside" and next thing I know he's in the backyard. Lucky for us to have it fenced off, it's so nice to be able to just keep an eye on him from inside -- he loves to be out there. His new thing is to turn on the hose and play in the water, crazy kid!
One day I found him looking like this...he usually wears his rubber boots so that he stays dry, but I guess he decided that his snow boots work better :)
His Dad has been training him to be a "treasure hunter" LOL
When LoaLin gets her picture taken, he needs a turn too!
Ahh, nap time - Love it!
This is her favorite position! Laex HATED tummy time, she LOVES it!
WHAT A DOLL!!

1 Month!
Can I believe it, yes I CAN!
I have a confession to make, the BABY stage isn't my favorite. The first four weeks are ROUGH, and I feel like a ZOMBIE most of the time!!
AND...
I HATE BREASTFEEDING!
*It's so bonding* - GAG! The last thing I feel is an extra bond when I feel like a MILK COW being attacked by a PIRANHA.
*It helps you loose weight* - Well, I did it for three months with Laex, and didn't see a difference - but besides that, I'd rather RUN an EXTRA MILE EVERYDAY than breastfeed long enough to have it "help me loose the weight"
*It's easier* - Trying to "dig" out from under bras and clothes and everything else is NOT easier than, a little bit of water and two scoops! YAY! PLUS, not being able to go anywhere longer than 3 hours without having to figure out how to feed the baby and watch a 2.5 yr old, ugh! AND, I can't be CONFINED to the house, I'm MUCH TOO INDEPENDENT!
*It's better for the baby* - This is the one I feel the most guilt about and then LeGrand reminds me that formula has come a L O N G way!
*It's Cheaper* --This is the ONLY one I agree with, yet I believe nothing is too EXPENSIVE when it comes to my SANITY!
There you have it! I LOVE you MOM'S who are Breastfeeding PRO'S!
So, in order to keep MYSELF and the REST OF THE HOUSE happy, I've weaned, at 1 month.
I'm constantly amazed at what MOM'S can do -REALLY it's AMAZING.
How could you NOT just love this cutie TO DEATH!

Sunny...
...is NOT what the Weather is like around here so we escaped to where the SUN was Shining!
St. George was BEAUTIFUL! What a great Mothers Day I had in the WARMTH!
When we learned LeGrand was supposed to head down once again, I was a bit sceptical about taking TWO kids (including ONE 3 week old). BUT....I couldn't even think about spending MOTHERS DAY at HOME by MYSELF with the said TWO KIDS! So, I braved it AND am so glad I did - we had a blast, other than the lack of sleep for everyone!
We Played at Parks, Splashed at Parks, became RAISIN'S in the Pool, Ate scrumptious Food, did a little Shopping and A LOT of Relaxing!
Happy Mothers Day to me Thanks to EUREKA (Mesquite, NV) All-You-Can-Eat CRAB and PRIME RIB (I WAS in HEAVEN!) I do have to admit, All-You-Can-Eat CRAB was MUCH easier BEFORE children, yet without those AWESOME kids I would've had NOTHING to CELEBRATE :)

Scout-O-Rama
A few weeks ago LeGrand came home with a Family ticket to the Scout-O-Rama, and he was STOKED! I, having never experienced the Scout-O-Rama wasn't so sure.
Well, last Saturday we made our way to the South Towne Expo. for a WHOLE LOT of scouting fun! LeGrand was so excited to take Laex, he grew up going to the Scout-O-Rama and has lots of fun memories!
Laex had a BLAST! There were millions of scouts and lots of fun booths and games set up for the kids to enjoy --Laex got very upset when we told him it was time to leave!

Two weeks!
At her 2 week, little LoaLin was a whopping 7 lbs 8 oz (gained a lb since leaving the hospital) and 21 inches! We are enjoying the crap out of her --AND the best news, her BIG BROTHER is getting used to her and loving her more by the day! (It's so hard to "share" parents with someone else)
