three kids

leads to approximately 200 pictures a week.

Here are some of those pictures.

My brain is tired.



Gray is super handsome. His face is filling out and he's starting to look chubby. Also, his hairline is receding. 

These two nutjobs were wrestling and it was adorable.

I asked Kate to make a funny face for me.

It went along with her funny outfit.

My poor girl fell on the floor and got a Lego in the face. At first we couldn't tell what the problem was, but then the shape appeared and it was obvious. You can't tell quite as easily in this picture which was taken the next day.

Cheese!

Every time I go to take a picture of Gray, I end up taking like 20. So be thankful that I'm not posting all of them.

Look! His legs are getting bigger too!

When Gray turned 6 weeks old on Saturday it's like a switch was flipped and he decided to start smiling. He does it a lot now, but it's still hard to capture with the camera. (I would say "on film," but nobody uses film anymore.)

Kate smiles too.

Oh, and Colin.

Nice yellow nighty.

I was trying to show that his eyes are still blue. But they don't look that blue in the picture. I still think they will go dark eventually.

Isn't he adorable in those diapers?

And isn't she adorable in her tights?

And yet another photo shoot with Gray. I just love his different facial expressions. And his face.

What took me so long to jump on the baby girl jeggings bandwagon? Oh wait, it's because I hadn't found them for less than $4, which is what I'm willing to pay for children's clothes. Kate looks so freakin' cute in them. (And, surprise surprise, her dad think they are dumb.) And they actually fit her around the waist! Huzzah!

She looked much better later yesterday after her hair was done.

And here's Gray yesterday so you can see just how awesome he currently is.

This isn't a great picture, but I really like this little snuggly blanket that a sweet sister in my ward gave to Gray. I kind of want to steal it from him so I can snuggle with it.

It was my week to teach Joy School this week. I'm doing it with 2 other ladies and their 3-year-olds. Monday was hard—I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Today was much better, although my own son had me almost in tears for the first hour. I think that as time goes on it will get easier and easier, although I am having it confirmed for me that I am not a natural born teacher. This stuff is not easy for me. (This stuff being getting kids to pay attention to me, making learning fun, and having patience.) Even though it's pretty crazy on the days that I teach, it's totally worth it to me to have Colin gone the other 2 weeks. He's having such a great time going to different homes and being with his friends. On Friday it's my day to be in charge of Cooking Slash Science. (The other two are doing Art and Music on Fridays.) Anyone have any suggestions for an easy cooking project or science experiment? I was thinking of doing celery in colored water this week.

I'm headed to the doctor today for my 6 week postpartum checkup. I have to have my blood sugar checked, so I've been fasting today and it sucks. Wish me some diabetes-free luck, won't you?
