Baby Cheng is here!





This little guy arrived this morning around 3:30! Good thing he came on his own because his Mom was going to be induced that same morning and was not looking forward to it!! Weighing in at 7 pounds 10 ounces! I don't think he looks like Caleb or Parker, but I think the consensus from everyone else is that he looks a little like Caleb. He is currently undecided on a name; Sawyer, Skyler, and Carson are in the running I believe. We are so happy he is here!! Welcome to the crazy family little cutie!!

3,2,1,......blastoff!!



Ever since Jordan and Lacey gave Gage this rocket he has been dying to play with it! The big moment arrived Saturday when Jeff had time to play with him! Gage thought it was the greatest thing ever!!

Gavin is 15 months


Gavin just had his 15 month appointment today! His asthma is under control, and he is growing fine.
26 pounds (68th percentile)
31 inches long (41st percentile)
45.9 cm for his head (14th percentile, but hey that is better than 5th three months ago!)

Gage was always in the ninetieth percentile for height and weight!

I added this picture of Gavin because he always has to have his shoes on! Even when he is in his PJ's. He will bring you his shoes if he is not wearing any! He doesn't get that from me, I don't wear shoes more than I wear them!

Cousins


These boys spent two hours together with no fighting! It is a miracle! Now that they are learning to get along, we will be adding another one to the mix tomorrow! Little Sawyer is expected to arrive tomorrow!

a few pics..

Last week we had a really nice day that I never had a chance to write about. Gavin was taking a nap and it was just Gage and I who played outside. The weather was nice and it was nice just to spend time with Gage all by himself. We blew bubbles and kicked balls. Then when Gavin woke up and Jeff got home from work we went on our usual summer walk around Oquirrh Lake. It was the first time this year that we did it. Gage has been asking to for months. He loves to walk around the lake, so this is the first of many...

I was Tagged by Amy. This tag is about keepin' it real! The rules are to take a picture of the thing's below, but no straightening, primping or prepping. Leave everything just as they look at the moment you take the picture! then tag five people


1. Favorite Room

2.- My Closet
I like everything stored neatly in its place


3. Kids are doing-
I found Gage reading a book to Gavin, they always get along
4.Toilet
spic n span

5.Refrigerator
Always well stocked with highly nutritious foods
6. kitchen sink

7. self portrait
8. Laundry pile
I am always caught up on the laundry
9. Favorite pair of shoes
they only co0st $395 at Nordstroms

10. Where you want to go
Because I am so well traveled, a day at the beach would suit me just fine


In all honesty when I saw I was tagged, Gage was sick with diarrhea thus a majority of the pictures I took would unsuitable for many peoples eyes!! The only true part is that I would love to be relaxing on the beach right now, rather than helping Gage to the bathroom every hour right now, and than have to clean up after him. That is "Keep 'in it real" . Oh and Gavin is teething and he is a monster right now! Life as a mom........
I tag anyone who would actually do this without cheating!

Better Late Than Never!

Well we finally had Gage's birthday party on Saturday! The weather wasn't perfect, but it was better than it has been! We went swimming at the Kearns Oqhuirrh Pool. Why did we go there when it is not so close? Because they have lots of slides and kiddie pools, and the kids can bring floaties and you can bring all your own food! It is a great place. So I think the temperature may have barely hit 80. Which is still a little chilly to be swimming in cold water when it is a little windy. The kids lips were blue the whole time. But they had fun, I think. We had ordered trays from Chick fil a for lunch, what kid doesn't love chicken nuggets? Then the kids swam on and off, they had to come warm up a lot! Then we had cake and icecream and Gage opened his presents! Thanks for the fun gifts everyone. Then the kids swam again for awhile. It was nice and low key and the kids didn't fight! Yeah!!
