12 months


I can’t believe this baby is ONE year old! We had a fun month. We enjoyed more Thursday morning outings, which Harvey always loved {even though they were at nap time} If he is outside he is HAPPY! The middle of the month brought on an ear infection and more breathing treatments for “Asthma like” symptoms. Which is common for a baby who had RSV at an early age. It was real tricky getting this very active boy to sit still for 10 minutes, three times a day. The rest of the month was spent exploring, playing outside, and digging in the sand box. Harvey started clapping this month and finally says “mamama”. He loves being chased, it’s his favorite thing and it makes him laugh so hard! He is the sweetest, most pleasant baby around, and we are so glad he came to us!

RJ and I have been married over eight years now. I have two daughters, Abbey (5) and Makayla (3), and Little Omar is almost here (Oct 23 can't come soon enough). I like eating treats, singing in the shower, and getting caught in the rain. There is no lack of estrogen in my house. Thanks for your patronage.

Quotes of the Day!

Summer 2011
Jocey Hobsen {a family friend and Jo's sunbeam teacher} Brought Jojo home from church one Sunday. She stopped by her parent's to grab some veggies. Jocey asked Jo, "Does your dad like zuchinni?" Jo looked up confused and said, "My dad likes BIKINIS!" to which Ben {Jocey's husband} replied, "I bet he does!"

May 2011
"She's slow as a poke!" --Makayla, in regards to how slow Abbey was eating her dinner

April 2011
We were just leaving Abbey's first T-ball practice. We got into the car and we were talking about things and Abbey says,
"Mom, how do you get a goal in baseball?"
hmmm...We better go over the basics!

April 2011
We were on our way to church {late as always, 9:00 church is KILLING me} and Abbey asked if we were late.
"Yes." I said
"Why are we always late? Is it because we have too many people in our family?" Abbey
"YES!" I said
haha!

February 24, 2011
I was explaining to Abbey that Harvey has RSV and what that means. She looked at me and said,
"I wish I could have that for him." It was one of the sweetest, most tender things I've heard. Abbey loves her baby brother and would do anything for him.

November 21, 2010
Makayla had her shirt on her head today
{and didn't want to put it on}
"I'm showing my nips!"--Makayla...honestly, where does she get that? WHO says that??
About 30 seconds later, "I farted." --Makayla
{she loves announcing that lately. She used to be embarrassed...lately, not so much}

She's a CLASSY gal, that Jo!


October 21, 2010
Abbey came out at about 10:30 {after being in bed since 9} to use the bathroom. RJ went in to check on her, and she had his glasses in her hand?? He asked her what she was doing with his glasses and she just stared at him. She grabbed the toilet paper, used the last square to wipe, and without tearing it from the roll, flushed it down. The whole roll started to follow! She got up and went back to bed, all without a word!

October 15, 2010
Mom- "Makayla what do you want Santa to bring you this year?"
Makayla- " A REAL baby like this one." {points to baby brother}
Mom-"Oh, that might be a little tricky. How about a new baby doll?"
Makayla- "NO, a REAL baby with a real nose and mouth and ears. Like this one!"

October 16, 2010
Makayla to Papa-- " What are you going to be for Halloween, Papa?"
Papa- "Oh, an OLD Papa."
Makayla--" You already ARE!"

August 2010
RJ had recently had a PPI{Personal Priesthood Interview} with Abbey, and they set some daily goals. He was telling Makayla at FHE that next Sunday she was going to have a PPI with daddy. Sunday came, they had their PPI, Makayla came out and said,
"PPI's are DUMB!"
"PPI's are done?"--mom
"NO, PPI's are DUMB. I'm not doing that again."--Makayla
Apparently it wasn't as fun as she was expecting.

May 2010
Mom, "Makayla you need to brush your teeth before church."
Makayla, "Why?"
Mom, "Because your breath stinks."
Makayla, "I LIKE my breath!"

Abbey and I were looking at my friend Hailey's blog and she had pictures of her adorable baby, Lincoln under the Christmas tree.
"Did she get her baby for Christmas, or did she pump it out?"-Abbey
{I'm still laughing!}

November 22, 2009
We're sitting in sacrament today, and Makayla looks over at me and says, "If we didn't have bums, we couldn't go potty!"--
Good observation Makayla...good observation!

August 2, 2009
In primary today, the bishopric was announcing the new theme for the month which has to do with temples. He was discussing how the temple "sticks" your family together.
"Does anyone know something really sticky"-Bro. Guerisoli
Abbey's hand shot straight up and she yelled,"popcorn!"--
This is so cute because her papa makes her "sticky popcorn" AKA marshmallow popcorn and it is her favorite thing, and it's VERY sticky.


June 15, 2009
I was watching Harry Potter the other night, after Abbey had gone to bed. Makayla was up late {she napped that day}
She saw Dumbledoor, "SANTA! I love Santa!"--Makayla
She saw Haggrid, "JESUS!"
She asked who Harry Potter was
"Harry Potter"--mom
Daddy walks in
"What's he name dad? That Teeter Totter?" -Makayla
She saw Professor MgGonnagal -- "Who's that?"--Makayla
"Professor MgGonnagal"--mom
"MgGonnagal?"--Makayla
Asks again MgGonnagal's name--
"What is her name?" --mom
"I don't know... Grandma??" --Makayla
This girl cracks us up--
Good ol' Teeter Totter {AKA Harry potter!!!} Ha

Everyday--
"I'm gonna do ballet and golf!"-- Makayla
She cannot WAIT until she gets to start ballet--it's all she talks about.

May 7, 2009
"My sandwich tastes funny."
--Abbey
"Why? it's just cheese and mayo."--mom
"JUST CHEESE!! No Manners??--Abbey
{Manners as in Mayonaise--I guess she doesn't know it's called Mayo}

April 29, 2009
Makayla was on a tootin' spree, stinkin it up all night.
"mell me! I'm rotten!"--Makayla {while waving her hand over her nose}
If an S is the beginning of the word, she often leaves it off {mell=smell}
So funny!


April 22, 2009
Abbey and her friend Halle saw a big Coke truck
"That looks good!" --Halle
"Yeh, But I love Dr. Pepper. It's my favorite drink."--Abbey
"What's that?"--Halle
"It's a kind of Rootbeer, but it tastes better going down your throat!"--Abbey
Yes, she has inherited my love for DP and Yes, she really has tasted it...just a sip here and there

Winter 2008
This is too funny so I need to write it down. Broc and Julie adopted a darling baby boy last August. He's African American and Abbey never seemed to notice or at least never said/asked anything about it. Broc and Julie were babysitting Abbey and Makayla and Abbey was playing with baby Tyler. She looked up at Julie and {very matter-of-factly} says,
"Well, it looks like you are going to have a brown baby!"
So funny! Like she was just waiting for his skin to turn light and decided it just wasn't gonna happen!


Last few days {April 10-12}
"She lookes so DAPPER!"--Abbey
and this is a good thing. She says it when her barbies are dressed up fancy.

Potty training week- {March 25-April 1}

Everytime Makayla sits on the potty and looks down to see pee trinkling in the toilet
"I got POTTY POWER!"- Makayla

April 1st
Makayla is sitting by me and lets a HUGE, squeaky toot.
"Whoa tooters!"- mom
With a very concerned look, "I poop!"- Makayla
Run to potty
outcome: Makayla's first Shart :)

March 23
Abbey watching American Idol with me--{In her most "adult" voice}
"He is such a TALENT!" --Abbey Mathews
It cracks me up, she takes bits and pieces of things we say, and puts it together in her own unique way.

February 23, 2009
Trying to get Makayla to take a nap
{and she wasn't happy about it}

"I not talking to you mom!" --Makayla
"Why because you're mad at me?" --Mom
"Yup!"--Makayla

{Then, of course, she continues to rattle on and on and on...and finally falls asleep--an hour later!}
