Wheeler Farm, Swimming and some other pictures

This is how this post was going to start two months ago:

I need to take this opportunity while all three kids are sleeping to do a quick post. On Thursdays I babysit my friends two kids. Lindsey is 2 and Talmage is the same age as brock, almost 6 months. It is a miracle when they all sleep at the same time.

As you can tell from my lack of posts in the last little bit, they woke up... ha ha ha. There have been many other things that have interrupted my posting lately besides babies. Busy, busy, busy. Ill go over these pictures real quick since this post has been waiting to be published for quite some time, but I will tell you all about what we have been up to in my next post.

On March 21, the first day of spring, we went to Wheeler Farm. Brock was a little bit young to really enjoy himself, but I still think he had a good time. We went with a bunch of our friends and we decided that this should be our yearly tradition. We will go to Wheeler Farm on the first day of spring. The weather was perfect. We had a lot of fun.

Brock all ready to go.


Just looking at the horsies.

So intent. He really liked looking at the animals. They were so intriguing to him.

Horsie eating hay.

All the kiddos. Lily, Brock, Evan, Lauren, Max, Carson, Colby, Taven and Ryker.

Colby driving the tractor.

Cute cousins, Colby and Carson driving the tractor. They loved this thing.

Baby lamb.

Big ugly pigs, oink, oink.

This pig totally wanted to eat my baby. He kept getting closer and closer.

Brock was fine until he got this close. Look at his face... poor little guy. The big pig almost got him. Ha ha ha!!!

Brock was pretty tired by this point. He wasn't too thrilled to be sitting on this pile of hay.

Our friend Lily.

This is our friend Michelle. Carson broke her glasses but she still wore them. You can't tell from this picture, but they were pretty crooked. It was so funny.

Plumb tuckered out.

This cow really needed some milking. Look at those boobies.

Out for a hay ride.

This is Brock's first time in the pool. You can't tell by the look on his face, but he LOVED it. He was splashing and blowing bubbles and smiling the whole time. We dunked him a couple of times and he held his breath and was a little bit scared, but then smiled really big. He did really good. We hope to get him into swimming lessons soon.

Sarah, Lily, Rachael and Max.

Ceara and Drake, Lisette and Talmage, Amy and Shaylee, Kami and Brock, and Michelle and Colby.

Same as above plus Candice and Hunter on the left side, and Marie and Carson on the right side.

Look at that crazy red hair. Love it!!

Hi my little drooler.

Hit Me Baby One More Time!!!

If you guessed Britney Spears, you guessed right! There are many other posts I should catch up on right now, but before I forget I wanted to document this moment.

My wonderful friend Nicole invited Marie and me to go to the Britney Spears concert with her Tuesday night. I'm not a huge fan of Britney, but I don't hate her either, and I heard her concerts are SO fun to go to. And I do like a lot of her songs and I love to DANCE!!! So I was all for going to the concert.I have to admit though, when I heard that others were going to this concert before I got the invite and I made fun of them... ha ha ha. Shame on me!

My husband kept making fun of me saying, you are so excited aren't you? And I'd sheepishly half smile and say yes. I love going to concerts. We got a lot of flack from our husbands about going to hang out with a lot of 15 year old girls. But we didn't care.

ANYWAY... so we get there and found our seats up, up, up about 10 rows from the top and hung out to watch the Pussy Cat Dolls perform. They were super tiny on the stage. We seriously needed binoculars. They did a decent job and we danced and sang along. We did the best we could to see them from the nose bleed section. But we were having fun none the less.

This is us. Sitting UP with the nose bleeders.

In between the PCD and Britney there was a short intermission and we saw this lady walking up the stairs with a badge on and tickets in her hands. We started freaking out, I don't know why we thought we could, but we started screaming 'take us down there, take us to the couches, pick me pick me!!!!!' Seriously FREAKING out!!! She said, 'how many of you are there?' We said three. AND THEN SHE TOLD US TO COME WITH HER!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! We didn't even hesitate, we grabbed our stuff and ran down the stairs after her. Marie even forgot her umbrella.

We went from this:

Enter portal DD (which is upstairs) row 11, bring your binoculars, see the ant show.

To this:

Center ring, row B, on the stools, smell the sweat, feel the heat ENJOY THE SHOW!!!

This was our view from the floor. You can't even see where we were sitting. Those people paid about $500 a piece to sit there. SUCKERS!! Ha ha ha

We got VIP wrist bands and ticket sot sit on the stools right behind the couches right behind the stage. There was the stage, then row A (the couches) row B (US on the stools) a rather large walk way.... then row 1. We were on row B!! Our own private little section to sit if we wanted to or to stand and dance in this little area, actually quite large for dancing. I was already excited, but this was seriously so cool! Stuff like this doesn't happen to me that often.

Our wrist bands. Not a very good picture. Both of our camera's died, so this is taken with my phone.

Britney did a fantastic job. She is a really good entertainer. Of course she was a little scandalous, which was to be expected. It's Britney Spears for crying out loud. She didn't wear much, basically lingerie. But I think her dancers were worse than she was and the intermission movies/songs made me want to look the other way. But overall I had a really fun time. I danced a LOT! and I loved that. We were seriously so close. WE got some really great pictures. No zoom, or very little required.

There was this crazy kid, so I got my picture with him. I wasn't quite ready... nice face :)

Thanks Nicole for a great night!

I don't think I like this mom...

WOW!! 4 posts in 1 day! Crazy!!!

Brock tried rice cereal for the first time last week (he was 5 months old). He liked it and he did pretty good. It was way funny to watch him and it got all over his face, hands, the bumbo chair, his bib, in his hair but I think he swallowed a bunch.

Having said that, we tried peas for the first time yesterday.... did he like peas? You can be the judge of that.

Look at me! Look at me!

Brock has a new trick!






On March 5 (Grandma Teresa's birthday) Brock rolled over. He has done it two other times, once when he was 2 months old on accident, and once on Nana's birthday January 12th when he was mad and had had enough tummy time. But it is official now. He is a rolling machine. He pushes up on his hands and then leans to one side, (he can rollover left or right) and then he just lets himself fall over and his body follows. He is really close to rolling over from back to tummy too. He's done it one time, but not consistently. We are so proud!

Anyone want some jam?

Toe jam that is...


When I took Brock's feet out of his footie pajamas this is what I found. Gross! ha ha ha ha ha

Sad baby

Early this month, March 4, Brock had a clogged tear duct. Look how sad he looked with his droopy eye. Poor little guy. He had been acting sad and sleeping a lot and he also had a low grade fever two nights in a row. Being a new mom, a new paranoid mom I should add, I took him to the doctor. The doc said he is teething, which makes sense of all the drool and the fever, and that he just had a clogged tear duct. Nothing to worry about. Not conjunctivitis, so I was glad. He gave me eye drops just in case it got worse, but to massage his duct and apply a warm wash cloth. I gave Brock a couple doses of tylenol throughout the week, massaged and used the wash cloth and now he is good as new. I'm sure glad :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Jordan, Brock, Talmage

What are the odds? We got together with some friends last night and all of our babies had the same onesie on. We had to take a picture... or six? Super cute! Hope everyone has a fun St. Patty's Day!
