Post I am doing because I do not want to do school work :P

I know I know....I really should be starting my schoolwork and all but boy has it been tough these past couple of nights. And not really because of Rydia. Summer is still waking up in the middle of the night wanting something to drink. We have just about had it!! And it isn't just once it is either two or three times. This sincerely does not help when Rydia's "bedtime" right now is about midnight. Oy Vei!
Well here are some cute pics I have been wanting to upload.

Do you see what I was trying to do there? Her hat and onesie :)

And here is Rydia when we came home from church.

Hmm. I really thought I had more pictures to put up but maybe not. Oh well. Just need to keep taking more. On another note...Arthur did wonderful on his DAT!!! That is his dental admissions test. He starts applying the first of May which is literally in like two weeks!!! So exciting but so daunting. We really do not like to wait for anything, but of course, after he applies the real waiting starts because he has to wait to see if he is contacted for an interview or not. He plans to apply to the three schools in Texas, Oklahoma, Georgie, Florida, South Carolina, and that is it I think. He is working on another semester and all his application stuff this semester. I am just taking one class. I did have a full course load, but after the first day(all my classes were going to be online) I kind of freaked and just decided to do one. I really do not even want to do that, but if I want to be a dental hygienist, I really need to take them. Another thing that has really been speaking to me lately spiritually, is the life of the prophet Joseph Smith. I guess I really am thinking about it because Arthur and I are reading the doctrine and covenants with the girls. It really makes me sad sometimes about what he went through. It also makes me extremely grateful that he still put forth the work. Everytime we play our Vocal point cd that has Praise to the Man on it, I just want to start crying. I mean everytime I hear that hymn I just think about what we are so lucky to have back on the Earth. All the girls are doing well. Claudia has about a month left of Kindergarten!! Aeris is being a great big sister and helper. Summer...wells Summer turns 2 in two days! She is kind of being a meanie butt sometimes to her other sisters, but she is learning and talking more and more. Rydia is ever growing!! She is getting so big and so fast! I cannot believe it sometimes! Well, that is about it for now. I better go :(

TEXAN POTATOES OUT!!



So I suppose a lot had happened in the first month of Rydia's life. At the current moment she is, of course, 2 months old, but I just not have been great at keeping up the blog at the same time:)

Here is her pic I took of her when she was one month old! Time had went by soo fast then! Look how tiny she was!!!

Rydia sleeping on her daddy. Oh the joys of being so small

This was the day we blessed Ryida. Her sisters Summer and Claudia all ready to head to church.

Aeris was not too happy at the moment this picture was taken because she had just thrown a fit. :P

Here was Ryida asleep on her blessing day. I love her bow I made for her. Although it is more of a rose headband than a bow.

Here she is napping away!

I am so grateful for our friends letting us borrow this swing. It has been such a great thing!! I love this sleep halo sack. This is a preemie size which she has now outgrown, but luckily she has another! We got to have two from the hospital since she was so small :)

Then of course, some days you need a break from being inside. This day I ventured with all of them to the park.

Hehe look at that duck!

Running away from the duck

Yes finally! Some ducks that wanted to be fed! (There were a lot of people there that day because it had been a while for it to be nice outside, so I suppose EVERYONE had been feeding them all day)

Saying goodbye to the ducks so we could go play

This was all Summer kept doing.

Going up the stairs to the slide.

Making sure I am watching

And then Wheeeeee!!!!

Another random pic of Rydia. I am sure this is past the one month age because she is looking more chunky

Tummy time!!(although from the angle of the camera it looks like she would be on the wall or something :P)

Yes, she is wearing blue....my incessant want for a boy? No. It is because my mother sent this one piece and hey it has a pink cupcake on it! What boy would wear that? I sure wouldn't dress my son in it :P

Summer trying to figure out the computer...or trying to mess up daddy's hard work for school.

Nope, pretty sure she wants to watch her favorite show "Small Potatoes"

Again naptime for Rydia!! Must be nice to lay on Daddy. :)

So there are more pics that I found and have finally posted. Hope you are all happy now. More posts to come soon! Promise!

TEXAN POTATOES OUT!!!

April showers!!!.....(but not like Texas) :)

So I recently realized that I have not been the best at posting which makes me sad because I love to post! I also was not good and did not post the pictures of Rydia's earliest days! We sure have been growing and loving on her! Here are some pictures for you to see what it was like from the moment she was born. BIG THANKS to the Wylers for letting us use their camera on these days! We couldn't find ours! :P

 

These first two are of Rydia's first bath. Getting all clean!

She really liked the "tub" which was actually a bucket type thing. She just chilled there for a while.

She was a very content baby right from the start.

Daddy holding his newest daughter :)

Relaxing at the hospital in our room.

Right before we were leaving for home!!

Claudia was the first one to see her. And boy was she ever excited!

Another pic with the biggest sister

Holding her for the first time.

And of course we could not leave out Aeris on holding her.

I think that night was such a wonderful night!!! I loved being home with my beautiful family. I knew that it was going to be tough getting in the hang of things, but it really was not that bad! I know a big part of it is because I have a wonderful, loving, caring husband and such sweet daughters to help me. I could not feel at ease without their help! I love my family and I absolutely adore everyone!!

TEXAN POTATOES OUT!!!
