Porter wanted to be a "really big cricket" for halloween. So, I made him a cricket costume. He hated it. He would throw the biggest tantrum about putting on his costume. When we finally talked him into it he was upset that the wings didn't work. He would run and hop but couldn't fly and would get mad and want them off. Addy on the other hand was a ladybug and she even sat still to put make-up on her face. They are so different. But, we had a lot fo fun at the ward party, the neighborhood party and halloween. I was working that night so, Aaron took the kids to Pat and Becca's trunker treat, then when i got off work we went trick or treating in the neighborhood. The second house Porter fell and got a bloody nose. He did not want to stop so we didn't and everyone thought it was just part of his costume. but they got a haul, and it was a lot of fun. (the other little girl is Kaylee one of Porters girl friends, she was a fairy)
I love watching Porter help Aaron mow the lawn. The funniest part is when Aaron gets in the way and Porter looks at him like move it , I am working here Porter also likes to help Aaron drywall the back porch. Porter holds the screws and continually repeats here you go daddy, here you go daddy until Aaron grabs it and says thank you then Porter will say kelcome daddy and pullout another screw and repeat. This goes on way longer than Aaron would like it to. But he is a good dad and lets Porter think he is a necessary part of the process.
Adalynne has been attempting to crawl for the last month. She just keeps going backwards which means getting stuck under couches, beds, table, and never getting to where she wants to be. After a few minutes of trying to reach her goal destination and getting further and further away she just starts screaming. I really don't blame her.
So,chapter one part II: We went to walmart a couple weeks ago and as I was getting Addy out of the car I noticed she had thrown up on me (it was dark). But as we entered the store I realized that oh no she had pooped all over me and herself. And of course I do not have any diapers or wipes. Aaron was with me so he went and bought diapers and wipes as I went to the bathroom with our daughter and gave her a sponge bath with paper towels. The strap on the baby changer was broken so I was holding her on and reaching with me extremely long reach to the sink and the papertowel holder. Aaron finally came with the diapers and called into the bathroom "I am here" so I took off my poopy shirt (luckily I had a shirt less pooped on underneath) and grabbed the naked baby and to get the supplies. Diaper on we went through the store getting an outfit for the naked baby and a new shirt for the stinky mommy. the trip to walmart that was suppose to be for wipes, and visine took waaaaaay longer and cost waaaaaay more than it ever should have thanks to my super pooper. Chapter 2 part II: I was picking up the kids and packing them in the car but I was in a really big hurry. I picked up Addy off of the front room rug and she had left a huge pile of poop for me. so in a hurry I took her pants off and her diaper washed her bottom in the tub and threw a diaper on and buckled her into her seat. leaving poop all over the house to clean up when we got home. Chapter 3 part II: we were getting ready to leave Church the other day and one of my Young Women was playing with Addy. She brought her over to me and wow she stunk, I lifted up her dress and she had pooped all up her back to her neck. So, I hauled her home trying not to touch her back side and threw in the shower yet again. She really is the best baby but she is a littl too good at poopn'. Addy darling we love you.
The other day at work was so awfull I really did not want to go back. When I came home Porter was so excited to see me and climbed on me all night. In the morning when I had to back to work the kids were sleeping and of course I thought it was so cute I took pictures. Then they both woke up, Addy as usual was full of smiles and Porter was whinning "No Mommy common" pushing my head on the couch to watch cartoons with him. He started crying when I left. I was pretty close to tears myself but luckly it was a much better day at work even though I would have rather laid down with Porter and watched cartoons.
The Weaver Family all went on vacation to Driggs Id. We all stayed in a cabin and hung out for a few days. It was a lot of fun getting to know everyone better. Thank you Grandpa Weaver for teaching us all a little bit about golf. I know that Aaron and my swing has greating improved. We had fun 4 wheeling, hiking, and playing badmitton around the cabin. We went and hit a few buckets of balls, hiked around Grand Targee, and went rafting down the snake in Jackson. It was a really good time but mostly because we were all (or most of us) together. Here are some pics. The cousins had a great time together and were encouraged to share more than they wanted.
All of the kids were really excited. Adalynne was such a good girl. I really did put sunscreen on her but she still got red cheeks. grandma wasn't too sure about the 4 wheelers but dad insisted and she came back driving it so I think she liked it. these are some of my favorite pictures. This is the family portrait thanks Stac. It was a really fun time thanks to MOM and DAD for providing the opportunity and Melissa for planning it all.
We are so happy to have the sun out and play outside. Here are some pics of the yard and the kids and the cousins fishn' at grandma and grandpa's house.
I hate poop. I don't like my todder's poopy diapers because well they stink. I don't like my infant's diapers because she is soooo messy. Infact she has pooped out of her diaper everyday for the last 2 weeks. oh, and once it was at the park and she pooped all over the front of my shirt as well. Needless to say, I did not have anything to change her or me with. I also really hate patient's poop issues at work. I hate everything from incontinence to enemas and dig. stim. and the little trail of diarhea left as a slow patient tries to make it to the bathroom in time. The last couple of weeks have been poop hell wherever I go. I just wish everone could keep their crap to themselves.
6/6/2010 the other day Porter was showing me his spiderman moves and I would try to copy him. After about 15 min he says, "mommy, you are melt'n my heart wight now". then my heart totally melted.
*me _ porter stop picking your nose!
*Porter- Mom, the doctor gave me two hands so that i can pick my nose!
.....then the other day
*Porter- mommy lets go to the doctors right now!
*me-why?
*Porter-because I don't like these hands anymore all they do all day is pick my nose!!
*Porter " mommy can we make cupcakes because um... my heart loves cupcakes."
*Porter has been spelling words lately (with random letters) tonight he said: "mommy, will you tell P I S to go to the store, oh-
P I S spells Aaron" ha ha
*Porter thru a complete tantrum at the zoo the other day to the point that I strapped him snuggly into the wagon, carried Addy, the diaper bag, a blanket, and one coat, and took him to the car then home. All of the way out from the cats to the car he screamed at the top his lungs. The last half he was screaming, "EXCUSE ME MOMMY, I AM NOT CRYING ANYMORE" at the top of his lungs with and post meltdown diaphram spasms (you know the ones). It was AWESOME! thanks Porter.
*Porter: "Mommy the sign says: Stop talking to me!", with every sign that is convenient for him.
*Adalynne: "happy day to you" (singing happy birthday to dad)
*Porter: "my powers tell me that Addy's diaper is dirty" (see post)
