Baptism

My little Thomas was finally Baptized about a two weeks ago. Kevin's brother Sterling had the pleasure of Baptising him for us. We had friends and family come watch and after we had dinner here at our house...(chicken taco's yum)! we absolutely love the sister missionary's who gave Thomas the discussions, i think he loves them too:) Watching Thomas be Baptized was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. The spirit in his eyes was overwhelming. I could just see how happy he was to finally be Baptized. I think he has been thinking about it for quite some time now. I'm so proud of my little man and I cant wait to see what else he can accomplish in his life. I love you Thomas!

DOG PEE BABY...

its been a LONG time since i have posted anything...sooooo i just thought i would post something funny and kinda gross that happened to my daughter Kathryn and i today......

It all starts out at my parents BBQ today...Kathryn was sitting in her play pen and I was sitting right next to her out on my parents back porch eating dinner...i look down and there is this yellow puddle all over the play pen mat!! Panic!! I'm like oh my gosh did Kambree dump apple juice in the play pen or did the dog decide to mark his territory??!! I couldn't decide how to pick between pee or apple juice so i smelled it and couldn't smell anything...OK that didn't work...now what am i gonna do??.....yep i stuck my finger in the puddle and tasted it!! GROSS!!! it ended up being DOG PEE!!!! i wanted to throw up! my baby was sitting in dog pee!! HE PEED ON MY BABY!! Well i rushed Kathryn to the bathroom and covered her in soap and washed her from head to toe! lets just say next time i have to decide between pee and apple juice I'm just gonna assume its pee and scrub everything anyway!!

sometimes

sometimes i get really sad and i don't know why. this time it has lasted for three weeks. my husband has noticed. i just cant be happy for some reason. i feel mad or angry for no reason. i really wish i could figure out what was wrong with me. i struggle with this so much, its really getting old. i wish i could just drink myself to sleep some days, but i have my babies to look after and they come first. how can i be a good mom to them when i feel like this. i feel mentally sick sometimes. i deal with issues from my childhood on a day to day basis and im sick of it. i need to pull out of this..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMBREE!!

Saturday February 7th 2009 was Kambree's second birthday! I cant believe its already been two years since she was born. She has been such a blessing in our lives. I love her so much. I'm so proud of the little things she has accomplished in the last two years. She can walk, run, jump and she climbs on EVERYTHING!! Just this last September she had to have three staples in her head because she fell off of a chair. She is truly an adrenaline junky just like her daddy and grandpa Whipple. It really scares me to think she might actually try the things her dad tried when he was young. I'm surprised Kevin is still alive. Ok back to the subject...Kambree had an awesome birthday. We had her party at a friends house because it was raining outside and our plans for a nice park party were ruined:( Her best friends Monroe and Stella came to see her. Oh by the way I just love their moms!! Hi Esther and Adanda!! She got some super cute gifts! Of course my favorite was the sock monkey! I LOVE IT! I want one....!! We had grilled hamburgers and steak with baked chips and TONS OF CAKE!! I soooooo went off my diet that day...oops;) You gotta splurge sometime right!?? We took lots of pictures and had lots of fun watching the kids play and visiting with friends. All in all I think the party turned out great and I cant wait till next year! Thomas' party is next! YAY!!

the park!

So I absolutely love taking my kids to the park!...The weather here has been so nice the last few days. On Saturday the kids and I walked to the park close to our house. I pushed both girls in the stroller and Thomas walked next to me. I love watching Kambree play on the park toys as she learn's to go up and down the steps, she even figured out how to go down the slide all by herself! She's such a big girl now. Thomas loves to show her new things, he's such a great teacher. Kambree really loves her big bruddah. I healed Kathryn in my arms like a bag of potatoes while I took pictures of the kids playing on the toys. We packed a lunch and sat in the grass while we ate carrots and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We had our own little picnic. It was awesome to spend time with my kids like that. No worries, no rushing, it was nice to just sit relax and watch them enjoy playing. Aaaahhh the joys of being a mom:) I will learn to enjoy the good times and learn from the not so good times:)
