Look What I did!

Gotta give the credit to Erica and Joy for inspiring me to bust out the old camera. It's been so long I forgot what a difference it makes to use a lens and a good camera. Hopefully you will see less mobile pix and more real pictures!

The newest Saumweber

Welcome, Riley Paige!

Riley is now almost seven weeks old! 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...

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

I had a bunch of pictures to attach but it's not working, next time

I need some go juice

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?

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.

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!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. Not to mention the extra one I carry around all the time, I'm I excused for my blogging neglect yet? I'd say so!Here we are a month behind... Happy Halloweeen!

Maybe I'm a little slow, but I just found that I can post to my blog just by texting from my phone!

"Mom, why's the sausage crying?"

We were making sausage and eggs this morning for breakfast (don't be impressed, it's only because we were out of milk), when David asked me why the sausage was crying! 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 "haaa haa haaa" for hot.

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.

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:
Mama
Dada
Dada (david, not to be confused with Daddy)
baabee (passy)
aaaa (bye)
ooo ooo (woof woof, he loves animal noises)
cackur (cracker)
mmmmmmm (more)
uh oh (...uh oh, meaning oh no i dropped something)

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!
David is a little three year old and all that comes with it. Sometimes he's as good and sweet as can be, "Please mom may I..." to get what he wants and hugs and kisses all over. 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.

He's is very independent I'll give him that, sometimes to a fault. Like today we were at Sam's club and he decided he needed a big box of freshly made buz lightyear cupcakes... well he tipped the box over getting it off the table and I am pretty sure he ruined every one!

"come on Brode!"

I feel a little guilty for complaining on my last post. 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.
