(<span style="font-size: x-small;">I took Brock's 3 year pictures. The sun was so bright. I didn't get very many good shots :( </span>)</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I started this post back in October before I had Zander. I just realized the I never posted it. I don't think it's really how I wanted it to be, I wanted to add some pictures of his birthday and other things possibly. But I wanted to post it. I really love the thoughts I had, and I had forgotten about them. So here's my post of Brock's 3rd birthday.... 9 months ago.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
I feel like such a slacker this year. We didn't do much for Brock for his 3rd birthday. With Zander coming so soon, I didn't have much energy, or motivation... or money ha ha. But I'm pretty sure he still had fun. His favorite thing in the world is playing with his friends. He gets up every morning and says, "I go my friends house?" "I go to Carson's house?" "I go to Talmage and Lindsey's?" EVERY DAY, no lie. He loves playing with friends. The other day we left church after sacrament because I was tired and ready to have Zander, so he didn't go to nursery and he pitched the biggest fit. "I WANT TO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS!!!" So we just had his birthday party at the park, invited his friends and had cupcakes. Pretty simple, pretty boring. But he had a lot of fun, I'm sure.<br />

<br />
We sure love this little guy. I have been thinking a lot lately about our new baby coming and even though I couldn't be more excited to add another baby to our family, I'm also sad about having to share my love with another child. I know that sounds so bizarre, but I never want Brock to feel left out, or replaced. I know my love can grow, and it will and I will love them both the same, both in their own ways, I just get so worried that Brock won't feel like he's loved as much. I've been thinking a lot about the one on one time we have had with him. I'm going to miss that. He is my favorite little boy in the world. <br />
<br />
Those of you who know Brock, know him as a friendly kid. Also a little mischievous, most the time very happy, on occasion defiant, can be hyper, very crazy, funny, loud, a little stinker... He is all of those things, and I really love him for all of it. Even when he is getting into trouble, or running away, or making me crazy, because he is my little boy and that is who he is. <br />
<br />
But there is also a side (or sides) of Brock that many of you don't always see. His tender side. His polite side. His careful side. His caring, helpful, loving, concerned, overjoyed side. Brock is such a sweetheart, and always has been. He is genuinely concerned about people. Wants to know if I'm happy, or other people around us are happy. Or asks if someone is sad, "why are they sad, I kiss it better?' Asks me how my day at work was. Tells me, "I like your hair like that mommy." Or "You look cute mommy!" He says please and thank you, and excuse me. He tells me often, "thank you for making my buddy for me" (his buddy is a little tag blanket. he calls them buddies. I made one for him and fixed his other one, but he loves them and tells me thanks for them a lot). He complements my shoes, "cute shoes mommy." He tells me I look cute. Says, "this dinner is delicious mommy, thank you." He came to visit me at the hospital after having Zander and he told me, "it's ok, you don't hold me mommy, cuz you have an owie on your tummy." When he hugged me, he stuck his butt way far out so he wouldn't touch my owie. He gave Zander soft tender kisses and pats on the head. He always wants to help me cook dinner, or put the movie in the DVD player, or feed the dogs, or make his bed, or anything that I'm doing. He always wants to snuggle with me on the couch and watch a movie. He has these smiles, where he cranks his head to the side, that just make me happy from head to toe when he sees me. He tells me, "mommy I'm so happy you're home." Or if he's been naughty, he'll tell me later, "mommy, I sorry I screamed." or "sorry I broke my bat." or "sorry I made you mad, I don't want you mad, I want you happy, you happy mom?" He seriously melts my heart, and I hate that phrase, but I don't have any other words to describe it. He makes my whole body smile. He also is the funniest little guy. He has a great imagination and loves to play and make up stuff while he's playing. I love listening to him. He tries to make deals with me. "Mommy, you eat dinner, I'll eat ice cream, ok? that's a deal, I'm the boss..." he'll say. Then with his one little finger in the air and looking at me very seriously he says "Just snuggle with me for ooooone (the one part held out) minute, then you can clean the kitchen." <br />
<br />
So even though he is a crazy child, and he tries my patience, and seems to be getting worse by the day... he makes up for it in other ways. At the end of the day when he is insisting that we sing one more song, "buzz and woody" (you've gotta friend in me) and he needs one more kiss, and one more 'weeeyeey big hug'. It is all worth it. He makes me so happy.<br />
<br />
<br />

Zander has been a lot of fun. Brock has to be right by him all the time. He asks about him constantly. "Where's my Z?, What's Sander (can't quite get the Z) doing?, Sander coming with us?, Sander sleeping? Sander happy? You want to see my baby? You want to touch my brother?" Brock absolutely adores his little brother. He also loves to torment him. I didn't have brothers, but I'm guessing this is what they do? He likes to flick his binky out of his mouth, unwrap him from his blankets, poke his soft spot, wake him up, throw his binky, yell really loud right in his face when he's sleeping...<br />
<br />
Zander is a healthy baby. He is gaining weight really well. He eats really good. 5-7 times a day. He was 8 lbs 3 oz at his 3 week (supposed to be 2 week) appointment. He is still sleeping really well. Eats usually around 10 PM and sleeps until about 5 or 6 AM. Sometimes until 8. He has been a little bit gassy. It's really sad because he screams bloody murder for about 10 seconds, then calms down for a few minutes, then wails out again. We keep the gripe water close at hand.<br />
<br />
He likes to cuddle. I love this. Brock never did. It's hard now to cuddle him though because Brock wants all the attention. As soon as I'm done feeding Zander, Brock wants him back in his bed, or in his bouncer. I try to get the cuddle time though before Brock wakes up and after he goes to bed at night.<br />
<br />
Zander is still in new born clothes. Brock was in new born clothes for about 5 days, so it's been fun to be able to dress him in all of his cute things a couple of times. He is growing really well, but he is still so tiny and I love it.<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures from his first month... in no order what so ever... <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> We got to the hospital at 5:30 for the C-section scheduled at 7:30 am. The doctor ended up being a little late and we couldn't start until 8:45. I had been scared about being cut open again, the IV, the needles and all of that, but it was so early that I was mostly focused on how tired I was. When we found out the delivery was moved back I got really nervous. I had received a blessing from Darrik the night before, so I knew everything was going to be okay, but it was still a scary thing for me.<br />

The nurse came in around 6:30 to put my IV in and I'm not even joking, this was the most painful part. She put it in the top of my hand and once it was in she had to wiggle it around A LOT to get the blood to come out enough to fill two vials. I am a huge baby when it comes to this sort of thing and I almost passed out. They had to put me on oxygen because I was so light-headed. It really did hurt so bad.<br />

We got into the operating room at 8:30. I received my spinal shot about 8:40. I was scared for this, but I barely felt it, and then I felt nothing. That was nice.<br />

The doctor came in at 8:45 to start and Zander was born at 8:57. 12 min later. I could feel pressure on my abdomen, pulling, and tugging and the doctor said, "he's almost out." shortly after that I heard him cry for the first time. A cry I have never heard, but yet I knew was my baby. He was out, he was okay, he was crying like he was supposed to. I couldn't help it, I just started bawling uncontrollably (and I'm crying now). I could feel this incredible love for this child that I've never met, but I knew him. <br />

They held him up over the sheet and I saw my bald baby boy for the first time. He was perfect, and so tiny. My second little red head. <br />
<br />
Zander is such a good baby. I am so blessed with angel babies. I really feel undeserving, but it's true. Brock slept about 7 hours the first night in the hospital and did every night since then and Zander is just following suit. Zander ate that first night at 9:30 and finished around 10:15, and I sent him to the nursery so I could sleep for a little while. Then promptly at 1:00 am, the nurse bright him to me and said, "he's hungry mom!" I cuddled him and gave him his binky and he fell immediately back to sleep and didn't wake up until about 5 am. He has kept this routine for the past two weeks. Last feeding around 9 or 10, and then sleeping until at least 5:00, sometimes later. I think being able to get some good rest is how I've been able to recover so quickly. So thanks Zander! <br />

He is also eating like a champ. He latched on great the first time and just went to town like no body's business. He was already back up to his birth weight by his 5 day after the hospital checkup, actually 7 lbs 3 oz, so am ounce more than birth weight. So the doctor gave me permission to let him sleep as long as he does since he is still gaining good weight.<br />

Zander brought Brock a toy, a Buzz Lightyear!! Brock thought his new brother was pretty cool. Brock really loves his little brother, almost too much. He is a big helper and always wants to do things for him. Every time Brock hears Zander cry he will run to where ever he is and on his way say, 'I'm coming Z, I help you.' He is also a stinker and probably feeling left out. He's been acting up a lot more. Yanking Zander's binky out and throwing it across the room, or poking his soft spot. It's been fun and also a challenge trying to help him adjust to a new brother. I know they will be best buds. Brock says things every day about helping Zander grow up to be big and strong like him so they can play. He always wants to show him to everyone and ask them if they want to touch his brother. He says about a hundred times a day, 'he's so cute!' It's really sweet. <br />

It's just got better on its own. He doesn't spit up that much. I think in two weeks he's spit up 10 times, and it has only been a little bit. He really doesn't cry too much. He did, however, hate cold baby wipes, and would pitch a huge fit every time he got changed. He also pooped 5 times that first day and ended up getting a diaper rash. That made him sad as well. He still poops a lot, like a lot a lot, and we have to keep the butt paste handy. But other then that he is a happy baby.<br />

Thanks for coming to share this special time with us. It was really nice to have visitors at the hospital. I was there for 4 days and Darrik only took one day off of work. So I got lonely and kind of bored. You would think that I would have got this blog post done sooner, but I did take advantage of some good sleep time.<br />

Welcome to the world little Z. You are loved very much, by so many people. We can't wait to watch you grow and develop. We love you so much.<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the help we've received. We have had so many meals, help with Brock, help with my housework, presents, diapers, clothes, toys, treats. We are truly blessed. Thank you for your generosity. It really means a lot to us. <br />

I'm hoping to get the last 4 months done soon, but I make no promises.<br />
<br />
My sister Paige had her baby the first part of June. Little Evilyn. She is such a sweetheart. I am so lucky to be her aunt. I just love her to pieces. She has lots of dark hair, and is a just tiny little thing. Still wearing new born clothes. We are so glad you are a part of our family little Ev. Look at her cute little face!<br />

When he was about 6 months old he got a pretty bad cold and we took him in for a checkup. We couldn't see our regular doctor, so a PA helped us. Anyway, long story short, he was mis-diagnosed and we took him back in 3 days later and were 1 oxygen point off of rushing to the hospital. His oxygen was so low. They did 3 breathing treatments at the doctor's office and then sent us home with a nebulizer and meds. Ever since then when Brock gets a cold with a cough, it hits his lungs SO hard and gets this really nasty cough. We just give him breathing treatments and it usually goes away pretty quick.<br />

I think it's been better)</span></div><br />
This one started about the same, at least I thought, but we were out of Albuterol for his breathing treatments, so we had to go in for a check up to get more. We saw a random doctor because we went in on a Saturday, and last minute. She asked me some questions, loss of appetite - yes, diarrhea - no, fever - no, runny nose - yes. She looked in his ears, and listened to his chest. She said his lungs sounded crackly, so that's why she prescribed the steroid, and the antibiotic just in case something was growing in his lungs, pneumonia etc. She prescribed an antibiotic and a steroid and more Albuterol. She said his oxygen levels were good, 95-96, but still wanted to do a breathing treatment there at the clinic. He usually does pretty good with treatments. I had him watch Astro Boy on my phone and he sat pretty still for the first little while. Near the end he started freaking out and wanted to be done. When he gets mad, his whole face gets flush, and his ears get really red. We were just about done there, we finished the treatment and she was giving us our prescriptions and then she feels his head, and he was warm, because he had been freaking out from the breathing treatment. So then she says, "do you want me to give him a tama test?" So I said, "What? like Swine flu?" She said, "Yes. The treatment will be the same, if he has the flu it's too late to give him the Tama meds, but I don't think he has it, he just feels warm..." Is that weird? As an after-thought, maybe he has swine flu...? So I asked what we would do if he did have it, and she said nothing. With all the meds she prescribed and with it being 4 days later from his first symptoms, cough, runny nose, cold symptoms, and the fact that he never had a fever, he was most likely fine. So I said, nah, if you think he's fine, we don't need to run the test. Was that a bad thing? Should I have had the test ran, just to be on the safe side? I asked if he was contagious and she said, no more than a regular cold. So I didn't think we needed to. I kept him home from activities and church, so I think we are fine.<br />

Anyway, so he's been sad lately. He found an old binky in his diaper bag and held it up as if he had just found a buried treasure, big eyes, huge grin and a little giggle of excitement. He put it in his mouth, grabbed Buddy (his little blanket) and ran into his room and climbed up into his bed. I followed him and asked him what he was doing, and he pulled his binky out and said, "I go ni-night mommy." He has NEVER done this. It was so sad. I felt so bad for him. He was not feeling well.<br />

After a few days of meds he seems to be doing better. Darrik says he has been pale lately, and he still hasn't had much of an appetite. He also still has a pretty deep cough, but it's no where near as frequent. I just want him to be all better and be my happy, funny kid again. This sad, ornery, emotional, clingy kid was only fun for the first few days. But I still love him!!Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-33488942405449538192011-02-28T13:22:00.000-08:002011-02-28T16:10:31.850-08:00Happy Heart DayBrock and I made sugar cookie dough for valentines cookies the Friday before Valentines, <span style="font-size: x-small;">after we made a huge <strike>mess</strike> fort in the living room. </span><br />

He loves to help. He always wants to get up on a chair and help me cook whatever I'm cooking in the kitchen. I love it, most the time. So this was really fun for him.<br />

He wanted to smash the dough, and cut, cut, cut the already cut hearts. He was messing my hearts up, ha ha ha, and I would hand him a piece of dough to put on the cookie sheet and he would roll it into a ball and throw it. But he had fun. I had to be so patient. He is ALL boy, and Mr. Destructo, so he was crazy making cookies, but he had fun, I have to keep saying that. It was not the most fun for mom, ha ha ha. <br />

I worked all day, and left around 4:30 to go pay the mortgage, and pick up some things for dinner. Darrik called before I left work and and asked when I was getting off. I didn't want him to know I was leaving early because I wanted to do some secret things before I got home. I got a text right when I pulled out of the parking lot at my work. "you are not at work..." WHAT? is he stalking me? It was so creepy, and funny. He called me and told me he was just stopping by to say hi on Valentine's Day, and Brock wanted to come in to mommy's work. I told him I had to go to the bank, and run a few errands. When I got out of the bank, this was what my car looked like...<br />

On February 6, I turned 29. My last year in my twenties... boo!! I had a wonderful birthday week, really it was a week long celebration. We didn't do something EVERY day for my birthday, but we did something fun almost every day and I celebrated A LOT! I am so lucky! I have always loved and looked forward to my birthday and this year was no exception. I wasn't too happy that I had to share my special day with the super bowl, but it all worked out. I have an amazing husband, and wonderful family and friends who all made my day (week) extra special. So thank you all!<br />
<br />
Thursday before my birthday, my cute friend Becky brought to my work these homemade treasures! Seriously, they are so delish. Cupcake pops, with chocolate and strawberry cake inside. SOOO GOOD!! I was so happy, I love getting fun stuff at work. They were so cute I thought she bought them. She did a really great job on them. Thanks Beck!<br />
<br />

That night we celebrated Chinese New Year. We got Panda Express and watched Kung Fu Panda. <br />
<br />
I spent most of the day Friday making my amazing freezer meal, White Bean Chicken Chili. My new favorite soup EVER!! I also spent a lot of the day trying to clean up so I wouldn't have to the rest of the weekend.<br />
<br />
I woke up Saturday morning with a crazy cold. I was so sad. I had been telling Darrik that he needed to take his vitamins, and drink fluids, and get some rest so he would get over his cold, and that I don't get colds that often cause I keep up on my vitamins, but I woke up with one Saturday... That's what I get I guess. It was a pretty miserable cold.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning is always Zumba. I can't get enough of it. I am hopelessly addicted to it. So this week I was really looking forward to it because it was my birthday, and what better way to celebrate than by going to a dance party, right!?! Becky and I got there early and were right front and center, ready to shake our groove thing with Cammie, our favorite Zumba teacher ever. I even brought my camera to take a picture with Cammie after because I wanted to document for my birthday. It was about time to start and this lady walks in and walks up to the front of the class, plugs her music in, and puts her bottled water on the stage... it was NOT Cammie... :( I looked at Becky and said, 'I think I'm going to cry...' I was so sad.<br />
<br />
It probably doesn't seem like it's that big of a deal, but seriously on a scale of 1-10 Cammie is about a 15. No joke. I am always sweating, and breathing hard, sometimes feel like I'm going to puke, and my face is red and blotchy when I'm done. I get such an amazing workout with her, better than I do with any other Zumba teacher I've had so far. This sub, on a scale of 1-10 was no joke, a 4 or a 5. I had to do her dances double time to even feel it. She was fun, and nice and Becky and I made it fun, so it was still a good time, but I really missed Cammie.<br />
<br />
So I brought my camera, might as well take some fun pictures, right? <br />
<br />

<br />
She had us do some really different (weird) moves. We felt like, "Walk like an Egyptian" in this one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrvPMsqSEYMujz9igEN8niwSGnNPskNQWVqoXi11QWEyu6eF0qjvn3wpodzlofpkyvYa321CqFZ8gJVsADHpmh07woJKtkb4_556D0ySneN2ZZ23Pu-XCXJb61LEspLsGshNCXO3bnJRRo/s1600/DSCN6848.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrvPMsqSEYMujz9igEN8niwSGnNPskNQWVqoXi11QWEyu6eF0qjvn3wpodzlofpkyvYa321CqFZ8gJVsADHpmh07woJKtkb4_556D0ySneN2ZZ23Pu-XCXJb61LEspLsGshNCXO3bnJRRo/s640/DSCN6848.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
We also did this move where we walked/jogged to the side and then jumped up in the air. I wanted to really get a work-out so I jumped super high each time. We wanted to try and get a picture of us jumping.<br />
<br />

That afternoon I had my annual hair appointment with my good friend Michelle. Seriously, I get my hair colored once a year, usually for my birthday. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I would get it done more if I could afford it, ha ha)</span> I just got an all-over color and a cut. I love it. She always does a really good job. Thanks Michelle!!!<br />

I was gone from about 10:00 am Saturday morning until about 4:30 that afternoon. When I got home Darrik was cleaning up and making me a homemade birthday cake.<br />

I was all ready to go, or ready to do whatever, but he was busy getting things done. So I was a little upset, and I started vacuuming while I waited. I was teasing Brock saying I was going to vacuum up his toys and shoes. I got a little close and vacuumed up his shoe lace and it broke the vacuum. Then I was really irritated. So I went and laid down to take a nap. I couldn't sleep because I was starving. So I got up and just hung out for a while.<br />
<br />
<br />
Darrik asked me where I wanted to go and I mentioned a few places and he said that he had a few in mind and was going to take me some where and I was just going to have to like it. I really like surprises, so I was happy with this. He told me that his mom was going to watch Brock for us while we went to dinner, which she often does when we go out. But once we got there Darrik wanted to go out into the big building to see the new trailer that his dad had built. Seriously? I'm starving. I don't want to look at a trailer. I want to go eat. It's not YOUR birthday, it's MINE. Can you go look at it another time? I was so ornery with him. It was about 7:30 pm by this time and I just wanted to get away together and EAT!<br />
<br />

We walked into the building and walked around the corner and everyone shouted, "Surprise!!!!!" He had planned a surprise party for me. He had done such a good job. I had no idea, seriously, not even a little bit. He had asked that everyone who came brought some sort of snack and some games to play. I told him I wanted to have a big game night with friends and play games all night. I didn't think he was really listening, but I guess he was. I was starving and he had planned on me eating snacks for dinner at the party, chips and salsa, nachos, little smokies, and other yummy treats. He didn't tell me that, I just thought I was starving. Doug went and got me Panda Express for dinner, so that was good, thanks Doug.<br />
<br />
Darrik also snuk my cake into the party without me even knowing. This is the third surprise party he has thrown for me. I don't know how he does it without me even having any clue. He is such a sweetheart. He knows I like big parties with friends and family, and always does a great job. I've a very lucky girl. <br />
<br />
We played lots of games and ate yummy treats and had a really fun night. I was having a hard time near the end because I had this crazy head cold, but I was happy that we were celebrating my birthday doing something I love. I really love to play games. I got some fun presents too. My cute friends are so sweet. I got some super cute workout pants from my sisters since they know I'm obsessed with working out right now. I got a Groupon for free bowling, shoe rentals and drinks for 4 people. Some cute earrings and some dry shampoo that I was so happy about. I've been wanting to try it. I got a yummy chocolate cake from my visiting teachers, cookies from a friend, a super cute earring holder and a night out to a movie, money, cards, lots of other treats, nice text messages, and lots of facebook posts. I was totally spoiled this year, and this is only the half of it.<br />

Sunday morning I woke up with the flu. Seriously. The flu? On my birthday? NOOOooooooo!!!! I couldn't believe it. No throwing up, but a fever of 101.2, body aches, and the chills. I felt miserable. We called in sick to church, ha ha ha, can you call it that? We teach the 4-year-olds and we called the primary person and told her we weren't coming to church because I was sick and Darrik needed to take care of me. He got ready for church, made me cream of wheat, breakfast in bed, and then took Brock to sacrament to take the sacrament and then came home. After I ate and got some rest I felt SO much better.<br />
<br />
These pictures are really terrible, but this is what I looked like on my birthday morning... <br />

My mom and dad were doing a super bowl/birthday party for me that night, and I was so sad that I was maybe going to miss it because I was sick. I asked my mom if she was ok if I still came and she said ABSOLUTELY!! We just won't hug you. I love my mom. She's so funny. So I showered and got ready and we headed over there. Every one brought snacks and treats for the super bowl so we had tons of food to eat. It was awesome. We did bean dip, but there was chicken casadillas, pulled pork sandwiches, muddy buddys, drinks, candy, all the goods. My mom even made me Fazookies for my birthday treat. It was SO yummy!! They also gave me a really funny card and some cash. We had a really fun night. Thanks mom and dad!<br />

Here is the food spread: <br />

THEN... Monday night GNO!!!! My best friend from High School, Stefani came into town from Arizona and she got us and our friend Natalie a hotel room downtown. Stefani and I have the same birthday. We love saying that. We ate dinner at Biaggi's and then did some shopping at the Gateway Mall. Then went back to the hotel, ate snacks, and talked ALL night long. We went to bed around 4:30 in the morning. Stef also ordered us all breakfast in bed in the morning. It was SO yummy! It was so nice to get out and have girl time. I love my besties. We always have such a good time together. Thanks so much Stef!<br />

I didn't do anything for my birthday Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, but I had my first cake decorating class Tuesday night and LOVED it. Our freezer meal exchange and a late soccer game Wednesday night (11:20). And I got a new vacuum, and $70 in-store credit Thursday night.<br />
<br />
Friday night, my cute sister-in-law Chelsea took me to see my new favorite movie <i>Burlesque</i>. I loved it!! I'm not going to lie, it was a little on the risque side. But I loved the music and the dancing, and it had such a cute story line, kind of similar to Coyote Ugly, but I really liked it. I had a hard time sitting still during it. I just wanted to dance. Thanks Chels! I had a blast.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Brock watches me get ready in the morning and always wants to be like mommy. He wants to wash his face, brush his hair, wants to put on mascara, and other make-up. I have to keep telling him, make-up is for girls. But headbands are ok for boys to wear... right? hahaha</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">And that was January!</div>Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-33821589940062913142011-01-25T23:24:00.001-08:002011-01-26T10:28:49.289-08:00New Years ResolutionsI look forward to the beginning of the year every year. January is usually drab, boring and cold and I always want it to go by quickly so I can celebrate my birthday in February. But I always get excited to think of ways of improving myself, or doing things I've never done, and getting back on track with things I should have been doing. <br />
<br />
I realized when I pulled up my goals from last year that they were the same goals as 2009, just saved as 2010. It made me really sad when I realized that I didn't set ANY goals, and hence, didn't accomplish any of my goals either. I did a lot of fun things, changed some habits, learned new things, and went a few places of memorable note, but I had not written anything down, so I can't count that. We had a fun year, a decent year, but not very productive, or accomplished, according to my goals, or lack thereof. I can't even believe a whole year has gone by. It's been a very crazy 12 months indeed. <br />
<br />
So, having said all that, I vowed that I would set goals this year. Specific goals with sub categories, and steps, and dates and put them on my calendar and track them with iphone app to follow my progress. I've already checked off some things on my list, and I've been doing pretty good. It really does make me happy when I'm organized and doing the things that are not only beneficial and essential for my family, but also fun and fulfilling. We're only part of a month into the new year and I can already feel a difference in my life. <br />
<br />
One of the things that I've read about setting new years resolutions is to tell someone about your goals. Telling someone about what you are trying to accomplish helps them help you, and hold you accountable. So I've decided to publish it on my blog. My list looks similar to this one, only I have all the specifics, dates, and details on mine. I'll spare you all the nitty gritty.<br />
<br />
I always break my goals up into categories. I bet you didn't know that I was a little bit on the OCD side did you? I like to try and accomplish at least one thing from all areas of my life because I feel that helps me be a better person all around.We can hope, right?<br />
<br />
I have so many things that I want to do, habits I want to make, habits I want to break, some places I want to go, things I want to learn. The goal I've been the most excited about, and I've noticed that some of you have also thought about it as well, is in my family category, <b><span style="font-size: large;">Play More</span></b>. We've made special efforts to go to bed later so we can play, make forts, celebrate National Pop Corn, or National Peanut Butter Day, or paint <i>another picture mommy pees</i>, or tackle mommy, or snuggle on the couch to Toy Story 3 for the umpteenth time. I've gotta say, it's been a lot of fun and I really feel like it's made a difference in mine and Brock's relationship. My relationship with my two-year-old, if that is even possible. He is still two, and still very defiant and very loud and demanding at times. But he is also so cute and so much more calm when he needs to be if we make time each day for play. I'm not perfect at this and I've been tired, and not fully committed at times, but I'm trying. I would like to start my sentences with, "Brock let's build a spaceship and blast off to the moon...." and end them with "...and then we can get ready for bed. Sound fun?" Instead of, "Brock, time for bed." I want a clean house, I want cooked meals, but at the end of the day, all that doesn't matter. I want my kids to remember me as a fun mom, a mom who knows them, a mom who plays with them. I've had to be creative and do a lot of my planning, cleaning and preparation for the next day after I put my boys to bed. Yes, I said boys. Darrik goes to bed at the same time as Brock, around 8 or 9 each night. Anyway, you get the idea. Here's the list. I know it seems like a lot, but I have a whole year to get things done.<br />

Don't think about what needs to be done, just do it.Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-28128178971516022822011-01-19T19:30:00.000-08:002011-01-19T19:30:00.193-08:002010 update!So I finally did it. An update from 2010... took me long enough, like 2 months. This is mostly for my own record, and one of my new years resolutions, CHECK!! So I won't feel bad if you don't read it, or comment. I'm just glad I finally got it done.<br />
<br />
Not to make you scroll through 12 (15) months worth of pictures, here are the links to our exciting year (and a few from 09 that I never posted) by month. I blogged about some of these things already, but I've been behind for a very long time.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!!! <br />

The other day I got an article that really made me... well, made me think, mostly. But kind of (really) made me mad. This article was called "Think you need a new job? You're probably wrong." I don't mind my job, so this part didn't bother me, and I understand where they were coming from. The whole, changing your attitude bit, and get over your self blah blah blah. That all makes sense to me. The part that really got to me was one the things it mentions under "So what will make you happier?" It says married people are happier, so you should find a mate if you are not married. I agree with that, but then it said this, "If you are married, instead of dumping your job, dump your plans to have kids." SERIOUSLY. That's what it said. Happier without kids... Now I know that everyone has their own opinions on when to start a family, whether or not to start trying for kids, how many to have. But to come right out and claim that people will be happier without kids? I could not disagree more. This statement completely shocked me. I can not imagine my life without Brock, or without more kids. He makes us feel like a family. He brightens my day. When I see that sweet little face in the morning, and hear his cute little voice say, "mommy, I awake!" makes me smile from ear to ear. I was thinking just last night how much I love my son. How I don't know how, because I love him so much, but some how I love him more and more each day. How he makes us laugh more every day. How we play more because of him. How his little face lights up when he sees us, and it just melts my heart. How he wakes up in the night from a nightmare and I get to hold him close, snuggled under my chin for but a moment, and I think how never want to forget this special time, please don't grow any more, I just want to take it all in. How he makes me happier than I have ever been in all my life. This article tries to justify it's claim by saying something to the effect of, kids don't make parents happy. It's not that they make them unhappy, they just take up all of their time and energy and make marriage more difficult. I can 100% agree with the statement, they take up all of their time and energy, but I can also 100% disagree with the statement, kids don't make parents happy. I know many, if not all of you out there, would agree with me. If you have kids you are happier. Your kids make you happy. You might be more tired, less dressed up, more stinky, less glamorous, more irritable, less organized, less patient, more broke, or more dirty. But more loved, more creative, less sad, more kissed, more hugged, less lonely, and definitely more happy. </span></div>Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-89169725144971178662010-12-28T06:47:00.000-08:002011-01-19T14:59:39.914-08:00December DoingsIn December Darrik, Brock and I went down to Provo to visit my cute little sister Kacie. We had planned to find an authentic looking Santa Claus that I had heard of down at the Provo Mall to take Brock to, and also visit Aunt Jo while we were down there. We got to the mall and found out it was ridiculously expensive just to see him and we couldn't take our own pictures, so we didn't while we were down there.<br />
<br />
We met our friend Rusty at the mall and did a little shopping and then went to Kacie's store to visit her until she got off work. We all met up later for dinner at Red Robin, and then went bowling. Brock had a lot of fun bowling, for a minute. He ended up being completely fascinated with the car video game, go figure, for most of the night.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A Christmas tradition that I remember as a kid was going to Temple Square to see the lights. All bundled up and still freezing, we would go almost every year. I loved it. One of my best friends from High school, Stefani, and her family (Roy, Jack and Kenzi) came into town from Arizona. We, along with my sisters all met up to see the lights at Temple Square mid December. Brock kept saying, "the lights are amazing!" And gasping at everything. He was SO excited, it was so cute. My camera died after I took about 5 pictures of just lights, trying to get the right lighting for a group picture... so I didn't get very many pictures. I tried with my phone, but they didn't turn out that great. </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Rld216QSnh-TrVMj8w3nQsOMz3ifXuU_1S2UGD5dsINUk_7uLLEEHb5gZdBXxhjvXxPmTBiatkrkircO3nfhpgCJ3v6nnmKXSo54Tzw_h1lvJNwEpo8PyhFMY23VzWMTfpI5X1ChTtB1/s1600/DSCN6723.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Rld216QSnh-TrVMj8w3nQsOMz3ifXuU_1S2UGD5dsINUk_7uLLEEHb5gZdBXxhjvXxPmTBiatkrkircO3nfhpgCJ3v6nnmKXSo54Tzw_h1lvJNwEpo8PyhFMY23VzWMTfpI5X1ChTtB1/s640/DSCN6723.JPG" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All bundled up </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I mentioned previously that we wanted to take Brock to go see Santa Claus but it was too expensive. This was the first year I had because I kept forgetting until it was too late in the season and the malls were packed. I got an invite on facebook to go see Santa in Layton for free. You just had to bring a food or toy donation. Sweet! So we went and checked it out. Brock, as you can see from the first few pictures, was SO not a fan. He was fine at first, when he was looking from a far, but when he got up close he freaked out. So I did what any good mother would do, I put him on Santa's lap. We had to get a picture right? We tried to tell him that Santa was nice, and that he brings presents, and had candy, and asked him to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas... Nothing helped. Poor kid, he was terrified. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJShPU4RMsAzXjX6jEFEOuDlReafvBOKeC-H4B372rQJaGqm96aO5O4EmiJXpFKDyQW8PinLL6MH1FZTGeThKLDjuhyphenhyphenWNwSz976xhv-kjJYpbJABmCr5yMxvKgrNMMNMH1ztlneksVQwW/s1600/Kami+RobbinsDSC_5494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJShPU4RMsAzXjX6jEFEOuDlReafvBOKeC-H4B372rQJaGqm96aO5O4EmiJXpFKDyQW8PinLL6MH1FZTGeThKLDjuhyphenhyphenWNwSz976xhv-kjJYpbJABmCr5yMxvKgrNMMNMH1ztlneksVQwW/s640/Kami+RobbinsDSC_5494.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Classic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So we asked him if he wanted to go back in and he said yes. We went in and he walked right over to him and had a conversation for a minute, totally calm, totally fine. He climbed up on his lap, told him he wanted presents, smiled and then jumped down. <br />

</div>Another tradition that I would like to have with my own family is making gingerbread (graham cracker) houses. We did this a few years in a row for a while, but then stopped doing it. I'm not sure why. But I love it. My house was pretty basic and normal, but I had so much fun. Darrik even decorated too. Brock loved eating the candy and frosting.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't have any pictures, but Darrik and I started an indoor soccer league with my sisters Makell and Kacie, brother-in-law Phil, brother-in-law Garrett (when he can), our friend Brad, friends Tim and Channdra and some friends of friends. We had our first game on December 23 and did pretty well for only having two girls there that night. We lost 7 or 8 to 4, but we had fun. We won our next game, at 11:10 PM, 12 to 2. Darrik pulled his quad during warm ups, and I kind of pulled my quad then too, but then really tore it once the game started, and then pulled my left one as well... WHAT? How old are we? Very out of shape apparently. We had a bye the next week, and have been icing and stretching our legs. The game after our bye was an ok game. We lost 8 to 5. I played, but wasn't back 100%. Still in pain and so was Darrik. We have games every Wednesday night and are loving it.</div><br />

I just forgot to take pictures at most of them. First we had the "First Annual Ugly Sweater" party with our good friends Doug and Becky. That was tons of fun. We even had a little fire in our fondue pot. We had cheese fondue food and chocolate treats for fondue. We played lots of fun games and played the white elephant game. Good times. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We had my work Chritmas party, big friend Christmas party, and an all girls high school friend party. We ate lots of good food at my work party and shot some fun guns. At our friend party we all brought a food item. I made homemade rolls and cherry bars. There was tons of yummy food, including moist turkey with a turkey sauce, ham and a Polynesian ham sauce, homemade stufffing, peppermint brownies, mashed potatoes pretty much everything you could think of. We played a $10 gift card exchange game. We tried to get jamba juice, itunes, and ended up with a movie gift card. Which we used the next day to go see Harry Potter 7 part I. A very good flick. We then played a game of 'Do you love your neighbor?' It was hilarious. Lots of collisions and laughs, and according to my response to the statement, "I love everyone NOT wearing a bra..." I was not wearing one that night. But I really was, I'm just retarded. I love our group of friends. We don't get together as often as we used to before we all, or most of us, had kids, but when we do it's always a lot of fun. I also got invited to an all girl Christmas party at my firend Hillary's. It was really good to see everyone. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So one of Brock's new favorite things is 'flying'. He asks us a lot, "mommy fly?" or "daddy fly, up?" He wants us to throw him up in the air as high as we can. He loves it. He gets about 2 inches away from the ceiling when Darrik throws him. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, just like every year since we've been married, we start Christmas Eve day with Darrik's side of the family. We always meet for breakfast and then go shopping as a family. This year we did the nativity story and then had a pinata with lots of candy. Then we exchanged our presents with the names we drew. Then on to the stores. Darrik and I got cute clothes from Aaron and Chelsea this year and Brock got a sweet Toy Story Toy car. We also were able to send back a game to our family in Prague. We weren't sure how to get them a present and I hadn't figured it out by the time Christmas came. I figured I would get them something when the were out here next. Our neice, and their nanny, came home for Christmas and so during the shopping we picked up a present for them and she took it back for us. Thanks Liz! We owe you one.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This year for New Years we did the same thing we did last year. Party like crazy animals at our good friends. Everyone brought food, and there was tons of amazing things, and Darrik and I got a babysitter for Brock, and we played games from 7 until 2 am. It was a riot. One of our friends brought their new Christmas present, a Kinect for XBOX and a bunch of people played that, it was hilarious. We mostly split up and played other games throughout the night, banana grams, ticket to ride, skip bo, that game where you get 3 cards then 4 cards then 5 cards and it's not over until the Kings go wild... ? You know the game. Oh ya, 5 Crowns. I could have played all night and would have. Thanks for hosting you guys. We sure had a blast!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Brock turned 2 in October and is loving the holidays. He sang Happy Birthday to the pumpkins at Halloween (because they had candles), and loves the Christmas lights and says, "the lights are amazing mom, look!" He also has a love/hate relationship with Santa Claus, and is so excited for presents (that is what he asked for for Christmas, presents). He is so much fun and keeps us laughing all day long. He has a very tender heart and always gives us kisses and hugs when he thinks we are sad or have owies (last night after our soccer game my face was beet red and he said, "owie mommy, and kissed my forehead... my sweaty forehead). He love his dogs and watching Christmas movies and candy houses and jumping off of high things. He is a little stinker, and throws many fits in a day, but has learned to put himself into time-out when he's freaking out. He is very smart and talks in sentences and knows big words, and understands so much more then we think he does, like B-E-D. We are so blessed to have him in our life, and can't wait each day to hear what he will way.<br />
<br />
Darrik turned the big 3-0 this year. He's so old, ha ha. Darrik worked for his dad this past year doing construction and had the opportunity to go to Kansas for 6 months and work. It was a good and hard experience for all of us and we are very happy to have him home. Darrik recently got a new job with Ryerson in Clearfield and he will start in January. He has had fun and keeps himself busy being a stay at home dad and picking up some odd jobs for family and friends. We are very grateful for the opportunities that have come our way. He has gone skeet shooting and fishing a bit and recently we started an indoor soccer league. He loves soccer and wishes he never stopped playing.<br />
<br />
I am still working at Impact Guns doing marketing. I enjoy what I do, but can't wait for the day that my job title will just be mom, but I am happy that I can help out for now. I feel like we are going, going, going, but it's so fun. I really enjoy spending lots of time playing with my boys, and hanging out with our family and friends. I still do my part-time business a little bit and love it. I also try to find time to do a little sewing, reading, zumba and other crafts. As I mentioned before, we just started an indoor soccer league and are having a blast. <br />

My little monster is 2 now... well, 2 and two months now. We had a Disney's Cars themed birthday. Brock LOVED it. He's completely obsessed with that movie and Lightning McQueen.<br />

He was a riot, scared like a little girl. hahahahaha He actually go two snakes for his birthday, what are the odds. Fun stuff!<br />

Here is my super simple, super plain calendar page for our family calendar this year. I just threw somethings together last minute, even though I've known about it for year. <br />
<br />
I'm super behind on my posts since forever. I'm really hoping to catch up, but since it's December... I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. Anyway, here is a little bit of what we've been up to. No text, just pictures. Enjoy!Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-72992050772814132502010-11-18T10:54:00.000-08:002010-11-18T10:54:35.966-08:00Brock and the Elmo card<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzWF3yHBCexMZZGAy27D9igYBdZQHffBWkFfXdkip9evxWiutxs4SphFzPNXkSng7hU6iJcxVrCZrzEGk8qog' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
Brock got a birthday card from Gram and Gramps up in Washington and he loved it!!! Thanks guys. (he also liked the money, well, we liked the money... we bought him some new shoes and a new jacket)Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-79706488373525587042010-11-01T15:50:00.000-07:002011-01-19T13:10:19.847-08:00NovemberI decided one night that it would be fun to build a fort with Brock. I used to make the most outrageous forts when I was little and I LOVED them. So why not. My mom never was a fan of them, they made a huge mess, but I'm the mom now and I still love them so we built this. A two room rambler complete with door and window. Brock thought it was so cool. We got bread, and cookies, and fruit snacks and ate in our house. We had a bawl.<br />

We cut steps in the sides of Brock's hair and spiked it on the side. Not the best cutting job by any means, he moved around a lot, but it was funny. I put my hair in a side pony tail and Darrik didn't do anything, we didn't really have any clothes to wear. But we had fun.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Brock had a blast helping decorate, or un-decorate the tree. He was so excited. But most of our decorations are ball shaped, so he wanted to throw most of them into the tree. So we didn't put all of the decorations on this year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And you'll see further down what it looked like this year. Brock had way too much fun dis-mantling the tree, so we didn't put everything on we usually do. I wanted to take out the purple and replace it with red, but didn't have enough money this year. Most of the decor was purple. So we were left with silver, white and green. Maybe next year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK6Lz4lRgjhIScJkVUogWr8UIAQPhXVs8JYNKmsxo1ki-22aGJ-JmvlHdCFoi7Pbn6B4lfsq1GS-n1R3OQRfCDDflt6Xi4VgBmEyGZ6Pc08_-D7GZGq_01whU-hi21g6Q2XfM42WVCCSmo/s1600/IMG_7349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I'll be the first to admit it, Brock was kind of a goofy looking baby. Remember <a href="http://darrikandkami.blogspot.com/2008/10/silly-brock-video.html">this</a>? Of course, I thought he was adorable, but I'm his mother, right, so I have to think that. But he was a little bit funny looking when he was first born and up until about two months old. Is that rude? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm being honest. Anyway... I can HONESTLY say that I think he is the stinking cutest kid I've ever seen now. Seriously. He is such an adorable kid, and people tell me all the time. So it's not just me who thinks so. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(ok, I'll stop talking about how cute he is because it's probably kind of annoying.)</span><br />

Brock loves to dance, shake his booty, get down, and bust a move. This kid seriously has rhythm. We have dance sessions just about every day. He'll say, "dince mommy!!" then bounces up and down freaking out until I turn the music on. He waves his arms and squats down and rolls around on the ground, shakes his booty and has this head move that makes me crack up. Every time he hears music he dances, or moves to the beat. He's got his mamas genes for sure on this one. ha ha<br />

He loves books and wants me to read them over and over. He will look at books in the car while we drive, if I'm taking a shower and need him to be occupied, throughout the day he'll find them and plop down and look through them, and every night at bedtime. After each book I finish reading he'll hold up one finger and say, "yun more mommy," (one more mommy). How can I resist his face? He is so excited about reading. He also likes to eat the pages of the book. Or rip of the flip tabs and eat those. He eats paper A LOT. I don't want to take his books away because he loves them, so we've been doing time-outs and trying the whole, you made the book sad, the book is broken because you ate it, bit. It seems to help a little bit. But seriously, why must you eat the books kid? Right now his favorite books are <i>Good Night Gorilla, Charlie Monkey, His new Cars Look and Find Book (from aunt Chelsea), Boys are Best aka the bum book (from Cyndi), and Farmyard Tales aka Sam.</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>He has been playing make believe a lot lately too. He holds his hands in the shape of a ball and says, "ball mommy, uh up." then makes a throwing motion and says, "giddit mommy..." so I pretend to catch it. Then he says, "uh up ball." So we throw it up in the air. We can play this game forever. It's especially good when we're in the grocery store. It keeps him occupied, and not screaming.<br />
<br />
He will also pretend he's eating me, my face, my arms, my toes. "Chomp, chomp, chomp.... mmmmmm mommy yummy, mmmm dood <span style="font-size: x-small;">(good)</span> mommy!" He is so funny.<br />
<br />
He also comes up with the most random things. Like the other day he says, "yightneen uh meck!" (Lightning wants milk) "oh, is Lightning McQueen thirsty?" "yes, yightneen trsty mommy, uh meck." so I hand him his sippy cup and he puts it up to Lightning's face and goes, "slurp, slurp, slurp."<br />
<br />
He will also hold his cars up above his head and say, "chi ee bane, chi ee bane, mommy sin" Wanting me to sing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for his flying cars. Ha ha I love it.<br />
<br />
Sometimes he comes over to me and starts panting like a dog and then says, "uh doggy, mommy."<br />
<br />
The other day I got to my moms to pick him up and he runs over to me and says, "yightneen ah bud." "WHAT? Lightning has blood?" "Yes, uh owie! Yightneen ah bud." So I looked at his little car and sure enough he had a crack on his hood, Lightning had an owie, no blood though. So Brock kissed it better.<br />
<br />
He also likes to run and lean hard on people (that's the only way I can really describe it, he just runs into people, almost like a shoulder check) and says "uh foo ball." <br />
<br />
The other day he had thrown his food on the floor after he was done eating. I have been getting so frustrated with him lately for this, and I asked him, "where's your food?" and he points to the floor. "How did it get on the floor...?" and he stops and stares at me for a few seconds and then says, "uh swim mommy, uh food swim...!" with this huge grin on his face. Then he laughs really hard and says it again. I couldn't help but laugh. Already starting with the wild imagination. He's so funny.<br />
<br />

When it's dark outside Brock insists that we sing, <i>Mr. Sun</i>. He knows most of the words, but will say, "sun, sun, sun" over and over while I sing the whole song. He'll chime in with a 'play' or a 'frees' (trees). Then when we finish singing he'll say, "uh dark mommy?" Like why is it still dark? We sang for the sun to come out. ha ha ha <br />

We've had some episodes with poop lately... like A TON! So fun, right!? So the other day I went into Brock's room to get him out of bed in the morning and he says to me, with a huge grin on his face, "uh poopy mommy!" "Did you poop? Let's change you." "NO! Uh buddy poppy!!!" "What? your blankie is poopy?" "Yeeees!!" (so happy) So I look at his blankie and sure enough there is poop on it. So I asked him how it got on there and he jumps up and down and grabs the blanket from me and says, "I keen it!!" and he takes the blaket and swings it around to his back and shoves it down his pants and yells, "I keen it mommy, uh poop!! all keen," over and over. So proud of himself. All I could do was laugh. Good job buddy, but next time lets use a baby wipe, or let mommy 'keen' it. <br />
<br />
Darrik was home for a few days and one of the days Brock has said, "I poop." So we waited a little bit to change him, until he was all done, but then he came up to me and SHOWED me his poop. FABULOUS KID. Poop all stuck under his finger nails, so gross! Daddy just laughed. So that one was mine, but the next one was daddy's. Pretty much his whole hand was down his pants. What is this fascination with poop I'll never know. Warm, squishy, smelly?? No idea.<br />
<br />
Another day my friend Michelle was watching him and he had been asleep for 3 hours so they went to go check on him and he was just hanging out, awake. But when she got closer she could smell poop. Then she realized that he had it on his hands and had gotten it on his clothes and the pack n play. Geez kid. Keep it in your pants. I'm so sorry Michelle.<br />
<br />
Then tonight I had left the back door open while I was making dinner so he could go in and out. I was almost done with dinner and hadn't heard from him in a while so I went to check on him. (right after I burned my arm on the skillet) While Darrik has been gone I haven't cleaned up dog poop. I know I should, but its one more chore that I just don't have time for. The dogs used to only poop on the side of the house. But I guess its full, because there is now poop other places... LOVELY. So I hear Brock out there making car sounds, "beep, beep, voom, {crash sounds}" and as I get closer he's holding two poop logs, dog poop logs. WHAT THE HELL!?!!!! Seriously?!! Oh my gosh. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(sorry about my profanity, but that is exactly what went through my head, and out of my mouth)</span> So I tell him, "no, no buddy, put it down, yucky, please Brock, drop the poop." and I start walking towards him and he runs away. I'm bare foot, so I'm trying not to step in any poop, but there are land mines all over the yard. It's seriously disgusting. I'm kind of embarassed to even be disclosing this information.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (it's better now because Darrik cleaned up when he was home last, but yuck)</span> So I finally catch him and pick him up and he starts kicking me, with poop all over his shoes. So I'm carrying mr. poopy hands and I now have poop all over my pants. AWESOME, JUST AWESOME! So I brought him in, cleaned myself up, and went and plopped him in the bath, grabbed a plate of food, and sat on the toilet and ate my dinner while he played in the water. I needed a moment to chill out. I love this kid, but SERIOUSLY he drives me crazy sometimes.<br />
<br />
The other day I put Brock down for a nap. He wasn't real interested in sleeping. He was crying a little bit, but mostly talking to himself. I heard him say a few things, "yightneen, vroom vroom," and "i wad doo ightneen, " and sing some random notes, and then he was talking about dog poop. I just thought he was playing. I let him just talk, play and sing himself to sleep and he was quiet, sleeping, for about 2 and a half hours. I then heard him in his room calling for me so I went in to get him.... Apparently he had pooped right when I put him down and them played in it and then fell asleep. SO GROSS. It was all over the place, dried and crusty. It was awful. Little dried poop balls on the floor. Dried poop smeared on his hands. Oh geez. I just had to take a deep breath and take care of it.<br />
<br />
Darrik was home this last weekend and was outside cleaning up dog poop with Brock. They were out there for a little bit and then all of the sudden they were running into the house. Brock was being carried by out-stretched arms with Brock's hands out in front of him, covered in dog poop.... oh kid.<br />
<br />
Then the last poop story, at least for this post, happened the day after his birthday party. Darrik and I were in our bedroom and Brock was out in the living room playing with his toys. Brock came into the bed room and told Darrik, "uh hands dirty daddy." So we looked at his hands and said, "is that poop?" And he just laughs, "uh poop!" OH MY GOSH KID! I went out into the living room and he had gotten it on a lot of his toys and the floor. So they all were washed with soap, water and Clorox.<br />
<br />
AHHHHhhhhhh! I don't know what to do. If you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know. It's so ridiculous. I've heard of taping his diaper closed around the top? Maybe we'll try that. Or maybe he's ready to potty train... who knows. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(really... that's 8 different poop stories, wow!)</span><br />

Brock has very tender feelings. He feels really bad when someone, anyone, is sad. If he hears crying, he'll say, "uh oh sad." If I need him to eat two more bites I'll tell him I'm sad, and I'll fake cry, that he won't eat, so then he'll eat more food, and then want a hug and a kiss and then he'll say, "uh happy mommy!?" He'll pretty much do whatever I want him to if I pretend to cry. I only do this on occasion, but it works every time. He also thinks everything is fixed with kisses. Which it is, right? Kisses are like magic. He always wants them and always gives them to anyone who has owies, or is sad. We were traveling home from Kansas and were in the airport elevator and there was a man in there who had a pretty bad cut on his leg. Brock was freaking out because he wanted to kiss it, "uh kiss mommy, uh sad." Whenever we leave somewhere and we're saying good bye to everyone, Brock wants to give everyone kisses. He makes this crooked pucker face to everyone until he's kissed everyone. It's so funny. If he is crying I'll ask him for a kiss and he'll immediately stop and kiss me, then go back to crying. He is so affectionate and like to snuggle and watch movies, for a little bit. He gives big loves all the time too, like squeezy you to death hugs. I love them! Cute kid.<br />

Brock got sick the other night. It was the worst thing, so far, that I have had to witness him go through. It was awfully, and painfully sad. He woke up at 1 am and was crying pretty hard. He'll do this on occasion, wake up in the night crying, and I just let him cry it out and he'll go back to sleep fairly quickly. This night, however, he cried and cried harder and harder. I was pretty much dead asleep, but didn't let him cry for very long because I could tell that something wasn't right. I went in to find him standing up puking over the side of the bed. He had already thrown up in hid bed all over his blankets and now was throwing up on the floor. He had this look on his face like, "WHAT IS HAPPENING, SAVE ME MOMMY!" So I quickly picked him up and held him, puke and all. It was so sad. I got him undressed and put him in the tub while I cleaned up myself and his room and everything. I got him out of the tub and put him in clean jammies and laid him in his rocking chair while I finished cleaning up his room. He threw up in his chair and all over himself. I sat him up and went to go grab a rag and then he fell off the chair and landed on his face. Oh my, I'm so sorry Brocky. It was early and I wasn't thinking clearly. Poor little kid. It was the worst thing ever. After we got all that cleaned up I laid out towels on my bed and brought him into bed with me. Every half hour about, or 45 minutes he would start to whimper and say, "I don't want it mommy, no mommy, I don't want it..." So I'd scoop him up and rollover the side of the bed and he'd throw up into a bucket. Most of the time we'd make it in. But I was doing laundry most of the next day because of all the times we missed. He went through 4 pairs of jammies, 5 or 6 blankets, 2 sets of sheets, and lots of towels. I really couldn't believe that for such a small little guy he had that much in him. I had to go into work that afternoon around 1 to finish up an ad and I had to take him with me. I thought he was ok because he hadn't thrown up since 8 am, but he wasn't ok. He threw up on the floor in my office. Pardon my being gross, but it looked like blue cottage cheese. I had been making him drink gatorade in between. One of the times he insisted on having milk, so I gave in. So that's where the blue cottage cheese came from. It was really such a sad experience. He didn't know what was going on the whole time and kept looking at me as if to say, 'why are you doing this to me.' He was pretty much better later that same day, but really hasn't been the same since, as far as eating goes. He hasn't eaten very much at all the last couple days. I was just glad that he felt better for his birthday party.<br />

Brock is talking so well. I am amazed by what he says every day. We were on a walk the other day and he heard a dog barking from behind a fence and he says, 'uh doggy sad, uh fence... uh mommy?' 'is, that doggy is sad because he's behind the fence...?' ha ha. I'm glad that even though I work almost full time and can't be with him as much as I would like to, that he is still being taught what he needs to learn every day. He can count to 10, and knows the color blue, and the letter B. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Kind of, he says blue for most colors and thinks that all letters are B. But at least he doesn't say truck, or ball for, what color or letter is this? Right?)</span> He is a smart kid. But I know every parent thinks that about their kids, but he is. Even the doctor says so.<br />

Brock can say so many things really well, the basics, mommy, daddy, doggy, Nanna, Poppy, happy, sad, cars, ball, Gigi, please, thank you, bless you, bubbles, outside, juice, so many things actually. Too many to list really. He'll say anything you ask him to, just some things make more sense than others. <br />

</div>My dad got us a cabin up in Heber for a few nights. We had a bawl. Seriously. It was one of the funnest trips we've been on in a while. My whole family was there with spouses and we played games, ate tons of yummy food, all provided by my parents, my mom's homemade cooking YUM!!! played a few wicked games of soccer on the ginormous deck, went for a few bike rides, and runs, hung out in the hot tub, stayed up late, played the cookie game. It was so much fun. I love my family. <br />
<br />
There were deer all over the place, and one night we saw a moose, but it was dark and far away so we couldn't get a good picture of it.<br />

He doesn't even know what a pirate is, but I was a slacker mom and waited until the last possible moment to find something and this was all they had left. Don't get me wrong, he was a way cute pirate, it just wasn't my first choice.

It made me a little teary eyed and made me think of my little monster in a whole different light.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(I have changed all the she's to he's for my purpose and changed a few other {things} to fit Brock.)</span></div><ul><li>When he takes a running leap and lands on top of me, he is questioning whether he will always be able to lean on me. And because I always want him to know the answer is yes, I tolerate it.</li>
<li>When he yells "No!" and points his finger, returning the glare he undoubtedly learned from me, he is asserting himself. I couldn't be more relieved. I hope he will maintain that perseverance right into his teen years, when he can use it on any {person who dares to ask him to do drugs.} And into his adult years, when his stubbornness will be called "determination."</li>
<li>When he attempts to stick a bobby pin he's found into the light socket, he is exploring his world and trying to discover how things work. Perhaps he'll be an engineer one day.</li>
<li>When he draws on the walls, {floor, table} with a {blue} crayon, he is expressing his creativity. I try to think of him as an artist in training. And even more important, he is learning the value of leaving his mark on the world.</li>
<li>When he breaks my favorite {necklace} and flashes his award-winning smile just as I am coming toward him, he is practicing his people skills. Perhaps he'll be a great politician (though I hope he'd be the rare kind who maintains integrity).</li>
<li>When he tries to stuff a kitten into his lunchbox, he is experimenting with spatial concepts.</li>
<li>When he wrestles with his {friend} over a toy, calling "Mine!" loud enough to be heard down the street, he is being bold and going for what he wants. I just hope that in the future, if he doesn't get his way, his solution won't be to bite in retaliation.</li>
<li>When he climbs the chain-link fence with bare feet, he is proving that no challenge is too difficult for him to meet. And when I discover him playing in the yard of the neighbors who live behind us, he is reaching beyond his own little world, refusing to be provincial.</li>
<li>When he lies on top of his 8-month-old friend, crushing the baby with enthusiastic hugs and kisses, he is unabashedly wearing his heart on his sleeve.</li>
<li>When he insists I read {<i>Goodnight Gorilla}</i> to him again, for the seventh time in a row, he is teaching me patience.</li>
<li>When he dumps macaroni all over the kitchen floor, stops to acknowledge my "No!" by turning briefly to look at me, and then goes right back to what he was doing, he is showing his ability to follow through with a task.</li>
<li>When he gets tickled over something I take for granted -- the toast popping up from the toaster when it's browned, for instance -- he is blessing me unaware. How many times have I longed to see the world through the eyes of a child once again? Thanks to him, I can.</li>
<li>When I catch him trying to eat the {dog's food}, he is proving that he will not be a picky eater -- and that he has survival skills, which may come in handy later in life (especially if he ends up on some reality TV show).</li>
<li>When he gleefully rips off his dry diaper, throws it {on the ground}, and races for the toilet, then refuses to sit on it, he is exercising his prerogative to change his mind.</li>
<li>When I call his name and he immediately breaks into a sprint in the other direction, he is listening to his own inner voice and refusing to be a conformist.</li>
<li>When he suddenly decides to throw a tantrum in the middle of a restaurant, he is teaching me humility. And that leftovers reheated later at home usually taste just as good as food served fresh. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I don't usually feed him when we get home. If he didn't eat at dinner, usually, he goes to bed hungry... usually)</span></li>
<li>When he steps into {his father's} enormous shoes, which swallow his tiny feet, and clumsily tries to walk in them, he makes me reflect upon {our} great responsibility to provide a good role model for him to follow.</li>
<li>And when he stands on the kitchen table with no pants on, refusing to even put on a diaper, and dances... well, <span style="font-size: x-small;">(we know he takes after his mother)</span> I can only think the worst about that. So I try not to read too much into it, because I am choosing to remain positive.</li>
</ul>I love my almost-two-year-old! The crazy, curious, excited, mischievous, determined, creative, loving, kind and all.Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-72539472299847775592010-09-15T23:13:00.000-07:002010-09-16T13:47:53.320-07:00Family PicturesMy very wonderful and extremely talented sister Makell took some family pictures for us. I love how they turned out, despite the fact that I forgot to tell Darrik to bring his tan slacks home from Kansas, the down pour that we endured (you'll notice throughout the pictures my hair slowly go flat) and our extremely un-interested almost 2 year-old. Thank goodness we brought bribes and my mom, dad and sister Cortney to help entertain him, and to hold umbrellas. Thanks guys. We couldn't have done it without you. It was an adventure, that's for sure. <br />

Thanks Makell! I love them, and I'm so excited for his 2 year photo shoot tomorrow!!Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-158827763035724732010-09-14T21:40:00.000-07:002010-09-15T08:54:02.288-07:00God's LoveToday I was having one of those days. You know the day. Everyone has been there at some point or another (maybe so, maybe not). The day where you keep asking yourself, and God, why? You know you have faith, you know things will work out, you know that tomorrow you'll feel different, and that this too shall pass. But for today, you just want to be sad. Have a good cry. Break down for a few minutes. You've been strong for so long. Been hiding feelings. Telling yourself that everything is fine, that it's not a big deal, that life goes on. When deep inside you want to bawl your blinking eyes out. (Could be PMS, that happens too) Well, I finally broke down today. When will this end? I feel like we've been doing this forever now. I had been sad most of the day about different things and finally tonight during Brock and my dinner prayer, I just started crying and couldn't stop. I wasn't sobbing crying, just tears streaming down my face. Brock kept saying, 'mommy sad? mommy wet,' and then he'd wipe my face and kiss it better. It did help a little bit. He is so sweet. So tender hearted. <br />
<br />
Darrik has been gone for 5 months and 20 days. He has been home a few times for a few days at a time, but mostly gone. I know there are people out there who have it worse than us. Some people don't see each other for months or years. I know that I have it pretty good, but it's never easy on anyone at first. This has been extremely hard on us. Hard on Darrik, hard on me, hard on Brock and hard on our family as a whole and our marriage. <br />
<br />
Since Darrik had been gone, I have had to pick up the slack around the house. The garbages, the lawn (on occasion, my dad has helped out a ton), the dogs, the mail, the everything he used to do on top of all the things I already do. The laundry, cooking, cleaning, playing with Brock (no complaint, just on the list of things I do), picking Brock up from babysitters, work 30 hours a week... anyway. You get it. It's hard to be a single mom. To add to that I need Darrik for so much more than just the physical side. He gives me so much strength to go throughout my day. Without him, I struggle. He loves and cares about me so much and always knows just what I need. Or where to help out when he can tell I'm stressed, or just what to say to make me relax and feel better. I am a words of affirmation person. He is so good to always tell me that dinner was good, or that the house looks amazing (he said the other night, the whole house is spotless, except for the dishes... ha ha ha just the big ones that needed to be done by hand), or that I look good, or whatever. But it is hard for him to say and do those things to show he appreciates me when he's not here. So it's hard on me. Brock also misses him like crazy, and that is so hard on me as well. To watch my baby walk around the house crying for daddy and not being able to give daddy to him. He's been pretty upset lately, and hasn't wanted to go to bed and hasn’t slept very well, which also makes for a tired, ornery mommy. So that has been hard.<br />
<br />
As you might know, Darrik is building a dental clinic in Kansas right now. When he is finished there is no job lined up for them when they get home. In fact his step-dad, who he's been working for, will be done working period when they get back. So he will be out work. So if you hear of anything, anything at all, please let us know. Darrik (mostly me) has been applying for job after job after job and he has had two interviews already. One for a job in Alaska and one for a company in Clearfield. We're waiting to hear back from the one in Alaska and the job in Clearfield, not so great. When he went in for his interview and they told him the position had already been filled. They didn't even bother to call him. So that was a big fat bummer. We had felt so good about this job, so it was so weird that this happened. There must be something better out there for us. He has a few back up, side-job things available if he can't find a job, so that is good. But it is so scary to think about him being out of work. I know a lot of people are out of a job, and we've been there too. But we've been hanging on by a thread for a while now and I'm getting a little freaked out about the whole thing. Hence, I had a break-down today. But something very special happened to me tonight. <br />
<br />
I was puting Brock to bed just now and we did our routine, bath, teeth, stories, prayers etc. When it came time for songs I started singing one of the songs I used to sing to him while I was pregnant with him, '<i>If I had words'</i> from the movie Babe. Brock knew most of the words and sang a lot with me. He has never done this before. He has said one or two words, or finished my sentence, but he full on sang with me. Of course he missed a few words, but he's not even two yet. My baby knows 'our song'. He can sing the lines, he can sing a sentence. I was so overwhelmed. I could barely see through the flood of tears streaming down my face. His sweet, innocent, little voice, so clear on pitch was so comforting to me. I love my son so much and I just wanted to hold him and sing forever. This small thing made me go from super sad, border line depressed, to extremely over-joyed. I could feel my saviors love for me so strong. I knew that things will work out, that tomorrow is another day, that this too shall pass FOR REAL. I got a little glimpse of what our Heavenly Father feels for his children. He knows us. He loves us. He wants what's best for us. He is real, and is always there. Even when we feel like he's not. <br />
<br />
Anyway, just wanted to share :DDarrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355896478264689.post-17707518777813224612010-09-13T09:17:00.000-07:002010-09-13T09:17:20.020-07:00By Brilliant, I mean Brainless!So guess how brilliant I am... <br />
<br />
At the end of every season The Children's Place had crazy sales. I've bought most of Brock's clothes online for the next year at the end of each season. Well at the end of this last winter I got Brock stocked up for this coming winter. Every time I buy him clothes for the next season I buy them a size up from how old he is at the time. So the first time he was 12 months old, so I got him 18 months clothes for the winter, 24 months for the summer before he turned two, etc. and they have been a perfect fit. (Those of you who have kids might be able to tell where I'm going with this) At the end of last season I got the email that they were having the sale, so I got online and bought a few essentials. Some really cute thermals, a sweater, a hoodie, some jeans. (mind you, it's still more expensive than Walmart, Target or kid 2 kid where I normally shop, we can just thank grandma for this) I figured that he would be two, or 24 months this October so I would buy the next size up. The next size up, in my head, was 3T. 24 months was 2T right? 24 months is 2 years old, 2T. Do you see my logic? Well, I was wrong.<br />
<br />
And so we end up with this...<br />

So now I have to go get him a few things to last through this winter, and some for summer, since I made the mistake too late to realize before I bought summer stuff too. Good thing his birthday is in 3 weeks. Sheesh!Darrik, Kami & Brockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936747820306160217noreply@blogger.com1
