Do You Remember Me?!

Yes I suck at blogging! But I promise I will be back! I know you have missed me ;) haha. Pretty much I have been too lazy to update. But check back soon! :)

Koby.......

Koby is now just over 3 months. He is getting to be such a big boy. He is starting to grab things and knaw on his hands. He loves to coo and talk to you. He is definately a happy baby! I'm not sure what he weighs but I would guess around 15 pounds. He is fat :) He has his 4 month check up at the end of the month. I cannot believe it's almost been 4 months already! Man, where does the time really go?! He is sleeping better too. Some nights he sleeps through, some nights he doesn't. But I'll take that! He is turning into the best cuddler, all I wanna do is just kiss him!

SMORES!

On Saturday, we made our 1st smores of the season! We let the kids go at it and it got quite messy, lol. As you can see on Rileigh, she has half of it across her forehead :) Rileigh decided she likes making them more than eating them, but Tyler sure loves to eat them! I think even Koby wore some of it, lol.

Finally, an update! :)

After much slacking, here is some updates. I didn't add alot of pictures since I do not have alot of time. But here is a sampler :) Next I need to update Koby! The pictures are backwards.....oops ^

Rileigh and Tyler after they made their "hats" the other day when we were bored.

Playing with Brock and Trey @ Jenn's parents. It was one "dirty" day, lol. They were mud from head to toe by the time the day was over!

^

"bowling night" we went as couples cosmic bowling at lakeview lanes. It was quite interesting there on a friday night, but we had fun, lol

^

Rileigh on her "birthday". This is the cake Jenn brought over for her. She is so thoughtful to my kids and I! I am so lucky to have her ;)

Rileigh at her birthday party. She had a bowling party in Oswego. I think the adults had more fun bowling than the kids. Another cake well done by Becky!

2 MONTHS!

(A little late) Last Friday Koby had his 2 month appointment. I can not believe he is 2 months already! WOW does time fly. He is such a little ham and is getting so much older everyday. He talks and smiles like crazy and now he is starting to grasp things. He is a pretty good baby, not good at sleeping, but good in general, lol. I love his stage right now, I just wish I could freeze the time so he wouldn't get any older!

Last Friday he was:

*WEIGHT: 13 lbs 1 oz (90th percentile)*

*HEIGHT: 23 3/4 " (75-90th percentile)*

Amy Davis!!

Today we had our pictures taken by Amy Davis, let me just say that was an interesting experience. First I will start by saying the she was great! She was very patient and good with the kids. She is not a professional photographer, but she she is good at it and you can't beat her price! Now I will tell you a little about my experience........

First, I went by myself with 3 kids because Austin had to work. I was nervous about trying to do it all by myself to begin with. Of course, Tyler was the one to act like a MONSTER! He wanted NOTHING to do with getting his picture taken! so that ruined my chances of getting a good pic with the kids. So we were unable to get one with just the 3 kids as well. The very FEW shots we got of him we were lucky to even get. Nothing would work to get that kid to take a picture. Then we have sweet little man Koby who did nothing but puke all over the place. lol. Rileigh was the only one who cooperated which is why there is so many of her. Although, she kept doing this cheesy fake smile! But I got some really cute onesof her which made it all worth it. I want to go back in a couple months with Austin in hope for a GOOD family picture. I guess all I can do is laugh :)

It's Spring!! I Think

I think Spring finally broke today! 60 degrees has never felt so better! Here is what we did today........

Here are some other random pics since I haven't updated in a while :) This one is of us relaxing after Church on Sunday....Rileigh wanted to take a picture with my camera, and I must say she did pretty good!

Here is Koby at 6 weeks (last week). He is getting so fat and round, lol. All he does is eat! He is 7 weeks tomorrow already. Next week he has his 2 month appt and shots already :( I cannot believe how much time has passed already.....where does it go?!

Here is just a few random Outback Steakhouse pics from when Rainy came home. They are dark bc I realized my camera was on the wrong setting. Our kids were being terrors so we couldn't get a family pic, those are hard to come by these days, lol.

♥Koby's Blessing♥

A little late, I know, but last sunday we had Koby's baby Blessing in Church. He was also blessed with Jimmy and Racheal's new princess, Brinley. Ironically, their son Tristan, and Rileigh were also blessed on the same day :) It is always a special day for these babies to be blessed by their daddy's. Austin gave Koby a very special blessing, it's always an emotional moment for fathers ♥

^

this was the "best" family pic we were getting after a long day at Church, lol

Some of the gang...we were missing Jimmy and Racheal and Brinley

the "3 muskateers" again, haha

Are you kidding me?!

Seriously, what is Jason thinking?!!! I am so stunned with the Bachelor finale.....I thought he was such a nice guy and he totally sucked me in the show this season....then he turned out to be a heartbreaker! Poor Melissa! She was way too cute. I thought Molly was so annoying and I so thought he was better with Melissa. What a chump! Well I vote for Melissa to be the next Bachelorette :) That was disappointing for sure....but I guess it made for good TV, haha.

My Little Artist......

Last night as I was walking into my living room, I just happen to notice this beautiful artwork on the wall. I looked at it and immediately knew who did it! Usually in these cases I wouldn't be a happy camper......but looking at it I was actually very proud! I thought it was a very good drawing for a 3 year old! Of course it is washable, I do not allow anything BUT in my house :) Now Rileigh still will not admit that she did it, but I thought it was a little advanced for a 2 year old, lol. I almost do not want to wash it off because I am so proud of her drawing ♥

FINALLY...here is the Koby update everyone is requesting :)

Ok, so I know that I totally suck at updating this blog.......but 3 kids are alot work you know! lol. But here it is.....and I promise to do better ;)
Koby is now 4 weeks today....where did the time go! He is getting older and starting to lose is newborn look :( His cry is starting to change and he is getting a personality. He is getting bigger too. He is almost 10 pounds. He is so cute and all I wanna do is kiss him. I am trying really hard to enjoy him every moment since I know how fast it goes. My baby making days are coming to an end, lol. He is so much more alert now and is almost getting to the point where he is going to crack a smile. He is trying so hard to hold his head up too. He is definatley a little love bug ♥
Here are a few pics, they were all taken today except the 1st one....that was last week.

CrAzY kIdS!!

The other night at about 8:00 I look under the table and this is what I Find......he feel asleep under the table, that's desperation, lol




Sometimes Tyler likes to show his "femine" side :) I guess it's ok when you are only 2.....now at 15, I might wonder, haha

Rileigh LOVES to do her makeup.....she is a total girly-girl. she is 3 and I have to fight with her already over my makeup. But she goes have her own, which I must say, I hate! But once in a while I let her get it out and go to town and this is the result......lol (and her embarassed face).

1 WEEK OLD

UPDATE: Koby is 1 week old! Time flies :( He is so cute right now and I don't want him to get any bigger. He is becoming very spoiled because we don't want to put him down. So far he is a very content baby.......but at night he has to sleep with me! Something I said I would never do after we did it with Rileigh. But I guess they are only little once right?! When they are 15 they won't want anything to do with us, lol. here's a few 1 week old pics...his looks are changing already :(

♥MEET KOBY♥

KOBY MICHAEL
9 lbs 6 oz
21 1/2 in.

**I was induced the 27th, it took longer than i expected, but it was a busy day for my OBGYN on the maternity floor. I was actually going into labor on my own, but slowly, they didnt start the pitocin until 3:30. Purposely bc my doctor was busy so they were putting me off a bit. But my room was busy full of people so it was hard to really concentrate on having a baby. when visting hours ended at 8:30, everyone left except my coaches, they then broke my water at 6 cm. Then the pain began, haha. They cranked up the pitocin and Ialready had an epidural but it was not working no matter how much they continued to give me. An hour after they broke my water, I was 10 cm and ready to push. Let's just say.......my 3rd did not come easy, but instead the worst!! I pushed for 20 minutes but it was the hardest, most painful pushing I had ever experienced. He was born at 10:09 pm, it made for a long day at the hospital. I still cannot believe I got through it, lol. I wont post ANY pics of what i looked like after!! LOL. After a whole day of being pumped with an IV and pitocin, lets just say I was a little swelled up, lol. But I am glad I got through it and this little guy is in our arms. The kids just love him and were so happy when he came home. I must say, it felt really good to bend over and to be able to sleep in my bed comfortably again :) That was a big baby to carry around in my belly.....if you couldnt tell ;)

38 WEEKS!!

Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks! This baby is definatley sticking out there, haha. So I was without the internet since last thursday and finally got it back yesterday, so I was unable to update since my appt. last friday. So here is my update....Last friday I was 2 cm diliated and 50% effaced. so that's good news....that means at least my body is getting ready! I have an induction date set for Jan. 27th. I am hoping I go on my own before that, but if not it's only a week away :) My doctor doesn't typically like to induce until around 39 weeks. so thats what I will be. So I guess at the very least my baby will be here in 1 week! I have been frantically trying to keep my house in order and tie up any loose ends around here. And of course think of different ways I can send myself into labor, lol. But at least he will be here soon! That will probably be my next update ;)
