Lincoln does understand

I had a moment with Lincoln tonight that was really awesome! I have been so overwhelmed lately with 2 crying babies practically all day long and it starts to wear on my patience. So lately I have had a very short fuse and when Lincoln wants something and I tell to wait a minute he gets upset and starts to cry and whine which in turn makes me more loud and then we are both frustrated and the rest of the day carries on the same way.

So tonight Mike was at school and I had just made banana bread with the older kids while Lyla screamed her head off and Lincoln just walked around and watched. So after the bread was in the oven I needed to change Lyla and at the same time Lincoln started whining for some more milk, so I calmly made him look at my face and asked him to please stop whinig and told him very sweet that I would change Lyla first and then I would get him his drink and he stopped crying and looked at me and said "ok" and smiled and waited patiently without crying anymore for me to finish. I think from now on I will really try harder to not get so frustrated with him and try to communicate better with him. I think with Lyla being new to the family and him being a middle child I really need to make an effort to be nicer and not yell at him all day. I love that kid so much and I am soooo extremely lucky to have him

3 month photoshoot of Lyla

These are 3 of my favorite pictures of Lyla!! She was soo good during the pictures. for some reason my computer is not letting me post anymore than this so there were a lot more cute pics but for now here is a sneak preview, I love this little girl more than words can say

Lyla is 4 months old

I took Lyla in today for her 4 month check up and she is just so sweet and precious. She weighed 13.3lbs which puts her in the 30th percentile for weight and she was 24 3/4 in which puts her in the 60th percentile for height. So she is definately not following in Lincolns shoes because she is staying tiny, which I love. I try really hard to cherish these sweet times with her because she is our last baby so as hard as it is sometimes to cherish moments when I have 4 kids needing my attention for different things, I am really trying.

Lyla is so fun. she smiles all day long(as long as someone is holding her) and the other kids just love her to pieces. Lincoln has started trying to hold her without us being there to watch him, so I really have to keep and eye on him. I am excited to see her to continue to grow and see her personality even more

Here are a few pictures of our family trip to San Diego last month!! We had soo much fun and the weather was absolutely beautiful!! we went to seaworld and shopped and went to the beach. I will try to post some more pictures tomorrow but for now this is what I could figure out, plus I really have to pick and choose the pictures since we have so many

this is us at sea world

im a crappy blogger!!

I really want to be good at blogging and I have a ton of cute pics to post but every time I try I can never get the caption under the picture or get the picture where I want it. I have serious computer issues, if it doesn't consist of google and surfing the net than I just cant seem to figure it out. Anyone want to come over and help me so I can post picts of our last vacations and my sweet kiddos? Any help would be appreciated, I am so computer-illiterate!!

Here are some recent pictures of Lyla, I will post some more soon from her blessing but she is soo sweet. We just love this sweet baby that came to our family. She still gets up all night long which means she is worse than any of the other kids but I see her sweet face and I cant help to fall more in love with her everyday. She is 2 months old now and I dont know where the time has gone, she will have her 2 month check up next week and i will post all her stats then.

Bryce and Lincoln's well checks

In june Bryce and Lincoln both had well checks. Bryce is 5 this year and he's getting bigger, slowly but surely..haha his stats were: weight 35lbs(10th%) and Height 42 in(25th%) so hes still a pretty little guy but bigger in our eyes. I cant believe my sweet boy will be in Kindergarten all day in about a week and a half. Time flies when your having fun.

Lincoln is by far our biggest kid but he is starting to get picky with food and not eat much so his weight is going down but his head keeps getting bigger. I love his cute big melon!!
his starts were: weight: 26.6lbs(50%) and height 33in(75%) and head was 20 in(off the charts!!)
He is so much fun most of the time, we are having a hard time with him just wimpering ALL day long and it gets really old especially because he cant really tell us what he wants and he doesnt really know what he wants so it gets a little hard to deal with him, but when he is happy he is the funniest little kid. we are so greatful for these two little boys in our family.
