We drove out to Denver for a little R and R. Everyone in my family was there which made it so fun. Mike and Ashley had just got a new camera so we took tons of pictures. As a results you're getting a couple slideshows. This first one was camping, well just making a fire and having dinner and s'mores. It's always so fun to see the cousins together.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Judging by the pictures it was early in this month that we moved Brody into a big boy bed. They always seem to spend the first few weeks sleeping on the floor. Joe and I did some work fixing up our bunk beds and getting David and Brody all set up together in their room. I'm pretty sure they will be sharing a room for a long time!</span><br />

Joe and David make a 4x8 planter box last fall, and we started a nice little garden this summer. After a nice crop of snap peas earlier in the summer, we got these beautiful cantaloupes, and they were just as tasty as they looked. David is a super gardener! Our garden was a little small for him, but he loved going out to work on grandma Yo's garden. He has his own tools and little basket for gathering over there and it is hard to keep him from picking everything. I must say he has gotten good at telling what is ripe and ready, but sometimes it's just too fun to stop picking.<br />

Riley is sitting up and oh so cute! She and I got to take a girls to denver and we had so much fun! As much as I love my boys it was nice to be back to just one kid again. I made the trip because it was my 10 year high school reunion. It was a last minute decision and I was really glad that I went. So much fun catching up with old friends and seeing what they were all up to.<br />

Poor David slipped on the concert before anyone arrived and got a big scrap on his side! He was really upset, but it didn't take him too long to recover and jump back in the water.<br />

After being too chicken to get in the water the first couple times at the pool, Mr. Brody became a real water dog this summer! It took me dragging him into the pool and then taking him to the wall to walk himself back. "walk a walk a walk" all the way back to the stairs again and again. By the end of the summer he was jumping in and making as big of a splash as he could!<br />

We had so much fun this month playing at the splash park with our friends. David was running all over the park, through all the water, and got soaked. Brody was still afraid of the random squiring, so he spent his time playing in the dirty mud puddles. Miss Riley was just four months old and slept though the whole thing.</div>

David started preschool in February after Riley was born. He loves school, as well as running around in his underwear :-) We had a little trouble with him this summer and his need to spray things. Let me explain, he stopped taking naps, and while Brody and Riley slept he would have a quite time or play outside. Harmless right? Well, he would grab anything that he could empty (especially if it was an aerosol can) and smear it all over a new fence outback. I lots a couple cans of sunscreen that way, and have since switched back to lotion. I finally got him a spray bottle and told him that if he was feeling the need to spray just to tell me! After that, he would come up to me and say, "mom I need to spray!"<br />

David is just a preschooler and I already wish he was back to school. We are doing a summer program that's every Wednesday morning so that will help. He thinks he is so big. If you ask David how old he will be on his next birthday, he will tell you 6. Age of choice I guess, by the way he will be four. He is too cool for a nap, but will often fall asleep watching a movie or in the car after 4 o'clock. David is my sweetheart! He is always giving hugs and kissing, and is so thoughtful sometimes. He'll notice and tell me when I look nice or am wearing something new. <br />

"dada home" yeah he says that one well!<br />
"uppy down" for up or down very creative and efficient <br />
He loves sucks, fruit snacks, waffles and oranges (which I have to monitor the intake of carefully!) Brody loves Riley to a fault. I just had to leave because he loved her right of the couch. Don't worry he must have let her down easy because she really didn't cry.<br />

It's fun to compare her to the boys because she is better at different things then they were. It's those fine motor skills like getting her pacifier in her mouth or playing with toys. I think is more aware of herself too. The boys roll over a few times by accident before they knew they could do it. She did it the first time and has been intentionally rolling ever since.<br />

With no cable we really have fun getting into a series on netflix. the last one was lost, which is funny because there are quiet a few references to it in the Office that I never got before. Joe is busy as every at work, and well me too. Three kids... wow still surprises me.<br />

On top of being with the kids all that week, my o'mazing hubby has let me do something with my friends once a week since. I wasn't planning to ditch him so much, but when the invite comes I love to go... Riley too. She slept through her first date the other week.<br />

Last Friday was cowboy day at preschool. Lucky Dave, I have been feeling in the mood to create so I made him this awesome vest. He loved being a cowboy so much he wanted chaps like his friend at school. I went to work and made these sweet tiger chaps. He wore them all weekend. Alas they are so last week, now we are running around with underwear outside our pants and on our head, Spider-man style apparently. He put up a pretty big fight when Dad would let him were his costume in to Chipotle last night. David is also in the habit of changing his clothes dozens of time during the day, but my favorite is when he puts on all his clothes at once. I think his record is 8 shirts and 10 pairs of pants.<br />

Did I mention, yeah we went to the opening of our very own Chipotle in Fayetteville! Life in Arkansas just keeps getting better. I think we will be getting out on the lake soon too. Joe has been faithfully working out his knee the past week in preparation. The boys are ready to jump in the pool too. Brody just says "wawa wawa" (water water). I hope he likes swimming this year.<br />

Lets start at the beginning shall we...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3nMbIBaKUwC-zqG5pgqX4EugRac9OwJFx1F3y2VL7oWTSoSKyJdUoFQCuzmwfA9pl0Xmf3dmps_1_SeFcVjftpSCKCTi9geZNptFWsLaAKtKXPRihPh-kTB-hAWQNX7KD5sNQw8_CBoQ/s1600/IMG_5074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3nMbIBaKUwC-zqG5pgqX4EugRac9OwJFx1F3y2VL7oWTSoSKyJdUoFQCuzmwfA9pl0Xmf3dmps_1_SeFcVjftpSCKCTi9geZNptFWsLaAKtKXPRihPh-kTB-hAWQNX7KD5sNQw8_CBoQ/s320/IMG_5074.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br />
David jumped out of bed this morning excited for picture day at school. He was insistent that he needed a hair cut, so I got out the clippers and pretended to trim around his ears. When we went to pick out clothes and I suggested a nice polo shirt for pictures, "no mom" he said politely "I wanna wear my red striped shirt." He had his look all picked out for pictures I guess, and he didn't want gel in his hair if you were wondering. Threw a few waffles in the toaster and we were off to school.<br />
<br />
I took Brody and Riley to the store to grab a few things. Brody found what he needed too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTx4QrE3_RJxNu-3edbjDJEYHy0EjMEY7sOzi64s_mbT3U5dgen0IAJikO2tBfw3EPo60XdfKzFuphYZxgqD-cCiILkWqaH7fKH7VT_zdNgsIqGMOVlL849AJyiagUmidONkgjuUzvzWU/s1600/2011-04-08_08-34-51_537.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTx4QrE3_RJxNu-3edbjDJEYHy0EjMEY7sOzi64s_mbT3U5dgen0IAJikO2tBfw3EPo60XdfKzFuphYZxgqD-cCiILkWqaH7fKH7VT_zdNgsIqGMOVlL849AJyiagUmidONkgjuUzvzWU/s320/2011-04-08_08-34-51_537.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>I handed cute Riley off at the gym to workout, but before I could leave she threw up all over! Poor thing, just her reflux acting up, it still happens every few days. Got her all cleaned up and had a good workout. By the way, one of my favorite things about working out is picking up my kids afterwards. Brody comes running up "mama mama mama mama" and throws his chubby little arms around my legs. <br />

When I came out couldn't find David. I go out into the backyard to find David in the corner with his pants around his ankles. WHY DOES MY CHILD THINK HE'S A DOG! This is the second time he has gone number two in the backyard. I cleaned him up and put him in one of Brody's diapers just like I said. It didn't last long though he was waddling around pulling at it. "I don't like diapers mom!" I guess I should be glad, glad that it's outside instead of on my walls like finger paint. It's now 2:30, I wonder what the rest of the day will bring. Oh yeah, girls night!<br />

Yes, that is permanent marker and it goes all the way up those skinny little legs. Just when I think I have relocated all the markers and crayons, there is another incident! My mom would tell you it runs in the family. When I was little she heard me singing, "rida rida rida." When she found me it was too late I had colored all over her piano with a permanent marker. Payback I suppose.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He is definitely going through another "test the limits" phase though because we have a few things going on like this. Things he knows are wrong but does them anyways. His other big issue... well lets just say I told him today that if it happens again he has to wear a diaper like a baby. It's been a very messy week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We had an great weekend, which included getting a new grill! Joe and David worked outside for a good hour putting it together. All my boys were so excited to use it. I almost made Joe cry when I told him he had to wait till dinner to use it. Here they are lighting it up.</div><br />

Brody said pointing to the grill, "babaaba, dada home!" In other words "dad come home so we can have another fire. He has been saying "dada home" a lot lately. We get the message Brode, Dad's the best!

Last Friday we went out with some friends and let me tell you it's the youngest I have felt in a while. Here's a link to my friends blog and you can see some pictures she too. I think you should notice that I am a head shorter then everyone else in the group picture. Also, don't ask what I did with Riley!!!<br /><br /><a href="I%20think%20you%20should%20notice%20that%20I%20am%20a%20head%20shorter%20then%20everyone%20else%20in%20the%20group%20picture.%20%20Also,%20don%27t%20ask%20what%20I%20did%20with%20Riley%21%21%21">http://stapleyfam.blogspot.com/2011/03/triple-first-date.html</a>Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02988247665857653693noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377879943666358917.post-7684774417868110862011-03-30T07:26:00.002-07:002011-03-30T07:40:01.283-07:00All GirlOur little Riley is becoming quite the talker. She will smile and coo for anyone, and she is doing it more and more every day. Just this morning I got her up and she started talking right away. She will even talk with me when we're driving in the car and she can't see me. Brody likes to join in too. Here's a video of her talking, I will probably get a better one here in the next week.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/laQ28_c5Jaw?hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/laQ28_c5Jaw?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Speaking of Brody, he is a great little talker (if you can understand him). Joe and I were working in the garage Saturday when Brody comes in and says "aut ooing" aka what are you doing. So cute! In the morning he throws everything out of his bed then calls to me, "mama, mama bappies, mama!" how do you say no to that? Makes it easier for me to get out of bed when he's not just crying at me... oh and that he is sleeping till 8:00 these days!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02988247665857653693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377879943666358917.post-15652701587937693842011-03-22T12:15:00.005-07:002011-03-22T13:39:37.646-07:00Boing Boing!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnDY9JBq9Ug9bK_zffV8cyZLKcLKGkD54V8ZBB7vmX5isgjme835bh2y93iLCYFJyHwWg9rZi7SJdOhuSa3WTh5XQbiUqDMPXJOkXUcUNyt1oJGXQEWKaE3OvRAuE6oQIaQXBryNRcFb4/s1600/2011-03-16_15-38-46_671.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It's gone by so fast, so fast I had to cut out blogging all together! Don't get too excited I cannot promise I am back on the horn again... I'll blame it on being the mother of three. Wow it's been so long I am speechless. Updates here we go...<br /><br />David Started preschool a couple weeks after Riley was born... not sure if anyone would have survived if we hadn't! He loves it and was so ready for a little extra... input. He has been a big help, sometimes a little too much help when it comes to Brody. Brothers don't make good mothers!<br /><br />Brody is so big! He is learning to talk and love "baas an udy" a.k.a. Buz and Woody. He is always sharing the love with Baby. For the First month or so every time Riley made a peep, Brody would perk up, "Baby". Now he likes to give her hugs and "nose nose nose" which means he sticks his face in hers and rubs he's snot all over her. She's not the biggest fan, but who would stop him when its all to show love!<br /><br />The past few days you could tell Riley wanted to smile, but today I think she is finally figuring out which muscles to use. So cute, I have gotten a few real cute ones, and lots of cute attempts. We have put away most of the newborn clothes and are now in size one diapers. <br /><br />Joe has been so busy! He just got back from a scout camp out, and is super excited to get our boys out. David begged Joe to take him, it would have worked too if it wasn't for the hiking they were doing today. Work is rewarding and overwhelming all at the same time. But, just like to say he is kicking butt!<br /><br />He spent a week down in Dallas two weeks ago and it was a good test of my skills and nerves. Three has been a big adjustment, and if it wasn't for the gym and preschool we would probably have all gone crazy. Both my boys just climbed up to give me a big hug, I must be doing a good job or they wanted to help me on the lap top. How I love my two monkeys and little angel! It's fun to not be so out numbered in our house, little Ry-Ry's got my back!<br /><br />I had a bunch of pictures to attach but it's not working, next timeMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02988247665857653693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377879943666358917.post-59528549446556208602010-11-17T15:31:00.003-07:002010-11-17T16:22:48.148-07:00I need some go juice<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBhxI96oalocQEgPLcIHe8BE9ZzRY035yhHVt1dOoWZZ7_PUIujd0ky3Eclgopst5Jy-mQ8H5x1CfTfG_58Nb83jNvhItMYkN5265htsgmSQjYjm0Ei_EeX7vaAsbl55FwCWWu5Z50ad0/s1600/IMG_0952.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBhxI96oalocQEgPLcIHe8BE9ZzRY035yhHVt1dOoWZZ7_PUIujd0ky3Eclgopst5Jy-mQ8H5x1CfTfG_58Nb83jNvhItMYkN5265htsgmSQjYjm0Ei_EeX7vaAsbl55FwCWWu5Z50ad0/s320/IMG_0952.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540662125678311922" border="0" /></a>I was poking through a couple blogs today for the first time in a while and started to feel so guilty! I am too lazy and tired to take pictures these days let alone blog about it. What can I say I'm 30 weeks pregnant and feeling it. Now that it is almost Thanksgiving, I hate that I didn't get any good pictures of the boys in their Halloween costumes! I met to dress them up again and then Brody got a nasty black eye that is just now looking better. Is it too late?<br /><br />We had a great ward truck or treat party and the boys were adorable. Must say especially Brody, who we actually did get a picture of thanks to Joe's phone. David was a knight this year with a sword and everything. He really liked his costume and wore it on a couple of occasions and around the house. What he really loved was the Superman costume I got for halloween next year! To be honest I am just getting everything put away.<br /><br />David was a very cute, timmid and shy this year. He would walk up there and just stand waiting for the candy to be put in his bucket. Okay I realized a few stops into it that he had a bucket in one hand and his sword in the other... poor guy couldnt take candy if he wanted to!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggopGWnvBDpt9DnHcAM39y40dvG3VoyCJCEA6vxAq2jueYcq3tI-NSJ2Q6T-Y3q6PeZoziAAnlvypEYNx-HCMHry0wK0SNlGvi5joBrE3If2954VDdpK3ygjQtBoD_LAR3g_MUTu4RRrw/s1600/IMG_0964.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggopGWnvBDpt9DnHcAM39y40dvG3VoyCJCEA6vxAq2jueYcq3tI-NSJ2Q6T-Y3q6PeZoziAAnlvypEYNx-HCMHry0wK0SNlGvi5joBrE3If2954VDdpK3ygjQtBoD_LAR3g_MUTu4RRrw/s320/IMG_0964.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540662126428879666" border="0" /></a>Brody our duck, was given a sucker and allowed to wander. That's mostly because I like walking a ways behind him and watch him waddle around. So instead of taking pictures of my cute boys I was chasing one or holding the others hand.

So funny, that boy cracks me up. Such a big helper in the kitchen, which makes Bordy want the help too... not so helpful. All Brody can do is make me hold him while he says "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">haaa</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">haa</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">haaa</span>" for hot.<br /><br />For those of you who haven't heard because I never blog anymore, we are having a girl! We are so excited and I have already had too much fun getting crib bedding and pink clothes! Sorry Joe, I can't help myself.<br /><br />Brody is trying a lot more to say words now, he's better at following the infection in my voice then the letter sounds. Some of his words are:<br />Mama<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dada</span><br />Dada (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">david</span>, not to be confused with Daddy)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">baabee</span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">passy</span>)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">aaaa</span> (bye)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ooo</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">ooo</span> (woof woof, he loves animal noises)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">cackur</span> (cracker)<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">mmmmmmm</span> (more)<br />uh oh (...uh oh, meaning oh no i dropped something)<br /><br />He recognizes so many things and tries to talk, but everything sounds the same right now. He loves airplanes and whenever he hears one he'll point to the sky/ceiling and make a noise. also loves turning on and off the light, playing "peek a boo barn" on my phone, cars, Baby Einstein movies, playing chase, the slide, riding bikes, animals, and his blanket!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMCTn8qJq_mS4ZLR3dV5Vr4VpP0afTIqihhJ2V99rcqpc0XW4xfoiQu2TDrV7KVvsb0X-zII3ltcBfjSj2aiebvxadgYC2BOYGmIWdQF02ZY933D54xYOwyQkGPwu1tNO4qQNpMcXj4sg/s1600/IMG_0902.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMCTn8qJq_mS4ZLR3dV5Vr4VpP0afTIqihhJ2V99rcqpc0XW4xfoiQu2TDrV7KVvsb0X-zII3ltcBfjSj2aiebvxadgYC2BOYGmIWdQF02ZY933D54xYOwyQkGPwu1tNO4qQNpMcXj4sg/s320/IMG_0902.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522812992824547490" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Ni_pUo0gbXpyHuh2VX0RB0qIqU8PEHGs_afxotN97vEq0Yccvah5JYIlVh-I_bKgmkDl10FYAy_nK2OIwsAZ0vxAeUFjDowpifGpJ9NYC2Vs3g0hCRZHiRvAPO4vnIsBOHLpj7q1iBw/s1600/IMG_0904.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Ni_pUo0gbXpyHuh2VX0RB0qIqU8PEHGs_afxotN97vEq0Yccvah5JYIlVh-I_bKgmkDl10FYAy_nK2OIwsAZ0vxAeUFjDowpifGpJ9NYC2Vs3g0hCRZHiRvAPO4vnIsBOHLpj7q1iBw/s320/IMG_0904.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522812991777213010" border="0" /></a>David is a little three year old and all that comes with it.

Other times he's a grumpy guy and has very violent talk, "I shoot the gym with my fire gun!" He's not physically violet, all talk. Not too sure what to do about that one.<br /><br />He's is very independent I'll give him that, sometimes to a fault.

I really have great kids. They are getting so big too. We went to the park today and David wanted to take Brody down the slide. At first he tried to pick him up,but I convinced him to take his hand instead. Cutest thing ever. Just so you know we are not perfect... right after I snapped this shot Brody fell down and David ran off without him. Maybe by next summer they can play a little together.

I felt it in there a couple of days ago. Now we just need a few more so he doesn't have to swallow things whole. It's his front bottom tooth if you wanna know. <br />He also discovered that shaking his head side to side means no. He is trying to say no too, all he really gets out is the "nu nu". He loves being able to communicate. <br />David is getting into some terrible threes stuff. The timing was bad too with Joe just having surgery (torn ACL). If it wasn't for all the help from family... well uncle Adam really, I probably would gave gone crazy. Luckily we are all on the mend and getting back to normal.

We found out Saturday morning that my grandmother, Mary Bankhead, past away and the funeral was going to be on Wednesday. We scrabbled ourselves together and Brody and I left Tuesday for Utah, David was shipped off to the Boyles for the week and Joe headed to Dallas Wednesday and Thursday for work. I was a wreak aside from the cold that hit me like a ton of bricks Tuesday I felt terrible about leaving David. Fortunately Crystal took great care of him and I think he had a really fun week playing with Tanner. This little picture of Brody was when we were at the airport wasting time.

He says he has an army man hair cut. He looks so cute. I must admit half the reason is because he smells so bad! Even right after a bath his hair reeks. Maybe this will help keep him cooler.
