Look At Me, Mommy!!

I was doing laundry and this is what I turn around to find.

Well it is FINALLY that time again for us. We have to baby proof the house. Baby G is every where and into everything now adays. She army crawls to whatever seems more interesting to her little mind. Whether it is cords, the Christmas tree lights, presents under the tree or like this picture, the hall night light. She has already pulled it out of the wall several times and is a very GOOD girl and tries to put it back after she has sucked or biten it for awhile.

Btw Baby G now can sit herself up from any position. She is growing up fast. SHe also has 7 teeth already. Yeah, I am liking that!!!!!!!!

And this is what BABY G kept doing while we were decorating the gingerbread house...It sure is going to be fun keeping her away from the TREE. She wants to unplug the lights.

Family Time!!

I love this time of year. I love the pretty lights, Christmas music AND I love being able to teach my children the TRUE meaning of Christmas. In every prayer, Z says "please bless Jesus and Heavenly Father." I love that she is mindful of them already at her age. It melts my heart every time she says prayers.

This is her best Tess Tyler (Camp Rock for those disney amateurs) pose. We decorated a gingerbread house for FHE tonight. Z loved it.

FaMilY!!

I am THANKFUL for my little Family. My girls are the CuTeSt!!

What We ARE THankFul For...

We had our FIRST Thanksgiving by ourselves. THis is our First Turkey. It turned out DELICIOUS. We have our friends to thank for the recipe. It wasn't as hard as I thought IT was. We had dinner with Our Good Friends. Thank you so much, it was a blast.


On this day every year, I look back through out the year and pick out the moments I am thankful for. There are so many tiny moments such as a birth of a child, a move, baptisms, spending time with friends & family, etc. Here are a few of the major things that we are always THANKFUL for:

• Our beautiful little family


• The Gospel


• Our Home


• Health


• FREEDOM


• Awesome Friends & Family


• Patrick's Job

We have been BLESSED with so many wonderful things this year, even with evil happening all over the world. We thank our Heavenly Father daily for all of our good furtune.

WHat are you THANKFUL for????

FOOD!!!

I just had to blog this because this is a true milestone in our household. Baby G is eating FOOD!!!! YEAH!!!! I have been trying her on food for awhile but she just wouldnt have anything to do with it. A few days ago I was visiting a friend, shout out to Jeannette. G loved Banana pudding Trifle dessert made by another friend Ms Kelly (G really likes her) She downed the dessert-even grabbed my hands and brought them to her mouth for more. She also likes sweet potatoes so far. She totally hates cereal though. Guess we will give that up all together. Maybe less time on the ninny now. Anyone whos everyone knows she likes the ninny. Great job Little G.

TaLes oF a hOuSeWife!!!

THINGS TO DO:::

1-laundry
2-sweep & mop floors
3- vaccuum
dust
& the window sills REALLY need to be done (I will do this if I get everything else done)

So you may be wondering "why a picture of a window?" Let me tell you. My day started with a morning wake up call at 6:30. So I got up and ready at 7. G had a blowout, then peed on the floor waiting for bath. This is all by 8. Preschool was cancelled so I thought to myself "Why not do a little SPRING cleaning!"

I got all of it done. And my visiting teachers even came for a visit. I am not a open window kind of girl and my window sills were rather dirty. The toothbrush was even commissioned.

I even added more to the list--cleaned the doors and door knobs, cleaned bathrooms. In between all of that the baby ate atleast 5 or 6 times.

I also started dinner. It should be done by 6. Tomorrow will be another day and another list.

Big daddy is cleaning the toilets though!!!

Just another CUTE picture!!!

Another cute picture of Little G. We went to Crocs for Trick or Treating and we found a HUGE croc. Just look at the size of the jibbits. THis was just her size..

Z had a preschool field trip to Anderson Farms the day after I got back. It was freezing but we all had a great time. Zoiee especially loved that her friend was there also. They go to preschool together.

This farm isnt too far from our house and had several things to do. We actually ran into other family members while we were there. It was a nice surprise.

Face Painted!

Here is a Pic of Z's face painting. She loved it. Thanks AUnt Nancy for entertaining my family while I was away.

While the moms AWAY the Mice will Play!!!

I went to my dads in California for 4 days in October so Daddy and Big Z partied. They went to an Aunt Nancys work halloween party. We went to 3 halloween parties this past week and Z asked at everyone if there was face painting. This one was awesome!! One day they went to the Childrens Museum. She told me she had lots of fun.!

She even build her first plane. Now she wants tools for Christmas. This may be the closest thing Daddy gets towards a boy.

HallOwEEn fUn!!!!

Cousins --Olivia and Seth came to TriCk or TrEaT with us!!! The kids had a blast!!

She is doing this pose lately. Whats up with this??

The Lute!!

Little piggy wanted some (notice her glow in the dark snout.)

Little Piggy tried her first candy. Thanks to Auntie she might have a sweet tooth!

StAtS!!!!!

On October 13th Little G had her 6 mth checkup and here are the results:

Goal Weight -- 20 lbs.


Actual -- 19lbs 14oz


Gracyn didnt quite make our goal weight but what is 2 oz. any way. She is in the 98th percentile. This makes her rather large. Her thighs are so cute and she has rolls a plenty. Strangers just can't get enough of her. I had an older couple offer to buy her the other day. They didn't offer enough money though. So I think she is probably over 20lbs know. She is our big girl.

Private Parts!!!

OK close your eyes (not literally or you won't be able to read this) and try to imagine the scene of this story I am about to tell you.

Sometime within the past year daddy and Big Z were drawing the family (the ENTIRE family) as stick Figures. -- do you picture it????

SO the other day Big Z and I are sitting in the target parking lot (no surprise there!!) while I was talking to my friend on the phone. I look over at Z and too my surprise what do I see?????

There are markings between the legs of the stick figures. Yes I am sure your images are right!!!!

Z then preceded to tell me that those marking are.............

are you ready for this???

they are peters and cuchies. Yes, I said peters and cuchies. I am in shock at this time and my friend on the phone is just laughing. I am sure she p'd her pants because of the laugh.

My mom would be so proud.....Maybe I should have waited to have the whole private parts talk. I ask myself "why in the world would she draw this?"

I came to this conclusion--the artist in her always has to be anatomically correct!!!!

TeLL All PhOtO sHoOt!!!!

Jeannette--This is for you!!!!!!

Enough Said!!!!!

Mommy Daughter Date!!!!

Big Z and I had a little alone time this afternoon. Z wanted to go the "Squishy Park" and ride her bike. There is a path way with small hills. Excitement for every child near and far......

Look Mommy! Want to see my Trick????

Even BIKES have parking spaces.

OFF for another adventure>>>> (I think we might just do this on a regular basis) but next time Z says that daddy has to come...AGAIN all about the daddy. She is a daddys girl afterall!!!

PoOp AnYoNe?????

So Big Z got a new toy. I Know I Know I said "no more new toys." but she has been so good and actually cleaning up after herself so Why not??? Right??Well she chose a Barbie. Eek!!! with a dog.....




And what do you see??? Could that be POOP??? Well I will be honest--it is. The Barbie dog (Tanner is his name) actually POOPS. It comes with a poop scooper and everything.



I have tried not to get Z barbies BUT I have come to the conclusion that it was inevitable. She seems to gravitate toward them in the toy isle and she loves the Barbie Movies (my favorite is Rapunzel) Now I just have to make sure the little POOPS are cleaned up so Little G doesn't eat them. She will be crawling soon.


And a picture of Little G because she isn't so little. In Fact tooooo big to bathe in the sink anymore.

Another Wonderful Weekend!!!

So we have had another fun weekend down in FuN town...Friends had a pirate party friday night so the Fam dressed up in pirate garb (or whatever I could come up with). This is an annual party I am told so I have a whole year to come up with more pirate dress. Arrrgh! Little G RUMMED it up and zonked out. I like me RUM...

Sunday we went to another Fowler Fam and had DELICIOUS dinner!!! We always enjoy our visits. I hope more is to come. I can't complain much about anything lately. We are loving our new area. I have made FABULOUS friends that are keeping me quite busy and Big Z is famous through out our new ward. This move has proven to be very good for Big Z and her shyness. YEAH!!!!

The daddy and momma are having fun as well. I personally thing the daddy liked the whole dress up thing (a secret he probably has been hiding.)

Quite the Few Days!!

Well, how do I sum up the weekend events for the Fowler Fam. It started on Thursday when Little G wouldn't sleep and cried for an hour. (she is getting 2 teeth already and one has already broke through.) 2nd, WASPS are everywhere here. Lots of money spent on wasp killer due to the girls of the house not liking things that fly. 3rd-our yard not getting worked on because of the fabulous people we have met that keep us quite busy. And last but not least Hubby jumping out of bed in panic to the sounds of Little G choking on "SPIT UP" and scaring Big Z so bad that she thought there was a tornado and didn't want to get "SUCKED UP." Our nights have been quite eventful and mommy is tired most of the time but it is all worth it. And just for the record, although Little G is teething she has only cried and carried on once through all of it. I was surprised to even find teeth she has been so good.

Eventful

This will give you an idea of what Hubby is doing in his spare time (well when he isn't having fun or killing wasps!) There is about 99% of the yard that isnt pictured. Our backyard is HUGE...and full of weeds.

Not one but TWO nice surprises for us. This is under our dormer. LOVELY!!

And now there all DEAD!!!

Just to get a peek at exactly how BIG baby G is. This was almost 1 month ago at her 4 month check up. We like chubby babies in this family.
