Hello again!

Well, I'm back... I know, you all probably thought I might never show my face on blogger again! That might actually be somewhat true....I will surely not be posting as often as I was before, but I will try to be a little more active than the past 3 months of inactivity. :)

That's right, Charlie is now almost 3 months old! Where has the time gone!!? It has been really fun, and actually pretty easy, but one day about a month ago Charlie suddenly woke up from his newborn slumber and has been keeping me extra busy ever since, with the help of his cohort Hannah. :) Hannah is now a busy 16 months old and getting so much older every day it seems! She really keeps me on my toes and is telling me "NO!" all the time. Boy, what does the future hold for me? :( I'm actually pretty impressed at how obedient this wild spirit can be most of the time, but she sure can be a sas when she wants to be! :)

Charlie has been having a hard time keeping his formula down, which has meant a lot of costume changes for him and the parents... Boy, Hannah didn't spit at all--I WAS NOT prepared for Charlie fountain! Thankfully we've got some better formula that has helped a little, but he is still hard to keep clean and full. We're working on the prevacid for acid reflux but nothing is fixing everything completely. I guess I'm just in denial that he might just be a messy baby...:)

Jake and I are doing really well. Jake is being such a stud and getting excellent grades in all of his senior bio classes that he was really nervous about. Maybe its the subconcious knowledge that made it into med school that give him confidence that he can do it! :) He is going to be in the Heber J. Grant program next semester serving as the coordinator for a new program they've started. This should pay for Jake's tuition next semester, so it's a great blessing for us--plus, Jake just loves the work helping others! :)

For those of you moms out there, you know what I'm doing, so I'll save you all the messy details... Things are good but I do wish I could get out more... Lately it seems like Charlie just needs attention ALL THE TIME while Hannah is crying on my leg wanting attention also. I hope this pattern doesn't continue will just get worse as they get older...:( I wish Charlie was old enough to play with Hannah already, but I will enjoy this stage while I can I guess. Lately I've been feeling pretty weird--I can't seem to get to bed before almost 2am because I can't turn my mind off! AND and I can't seem to eat anything but fruit and my stomach is upset all the time!! I hate it! What do I do!?! And don't say I'm pregnant cause I tested for that already and nothing!! (Of course, I took two pregnancy tests with Charlie before 2 months and they were negative, so I just don't know what to trust anymore...:) Other than those things though, life is good and I'm happy to be the mom of two ADORABLE kids and the wife of a handsome, smarty-pants husband!! Hope you're all doing well too! :)

Here are some pictures for you...:)
This is a weird picture, I know, but it is just an example of the great deals I find at DI!! I probably got all this stuff for $21 dollars (and there's more not even in the pic!). That Aeropostale sweater was practically new--retails for $89 normally and I got it for $4!! The little boys crocks were $1, The Office Season 1 $4, and I could go on. I've been there way too much lately, but its been fun. Its probably my favorite thing to do other than spending time with Jake. And sometimes our time together is spent there... WE LOVE DI!!

We took White family pictures during the weekend of Charlie's blessing. We took others that don't have buildings in the back, but our camera died after 4 shoots...:) I don't have pictures of the blessing, my mom has them...So once I get them I'll post some. It was a little crazy that weekend with EVERYONE visiting and squeezing into our apartment, but it was fun! :)

This is Jake right before he signed his acceptance paper for PNWU Medical School!! We are so excited about school and I'm so proud of Jake for all his hard work!! We are soo blessed to have made it in to our #1 school!! Love you Jake! :)

Charlie is the strongest little boy!! He was doing this the day he was born!! And any of you that have held him know that he doesn't need any head support and never really has! He rolled over at around 2 months and I'm sure we have more to see from him soon! He is smiling all the time and cooing like crazy!! I think I'll be surprised how fast he'll catch up to Hannah...:)

And here's my little artista!! She is such a cutie and we just can't get over her!! Drawing and pens are her new favorite, and she lets you know how angrys she is when you take that pen away from her. But if we don't, we end up with a girl and her clothes covered in ink, so I figured the fit was better than the cleanup...:) I love these kids and am so proud to be their mom! :)
