Saturday Fun

 We took the kiddos over to the church Saturday afternoon when Travis got home from studying. We rode wiggle cars, played tag, played basketball, and pretty much had a fun family activity indoors where it was warm. Tea liked going for a few rides as well, notice Remy's face!
 Oh she is so sweet I am lovin this baby girl she is my favorite girl I can say that I only have one!
 Remy's favorite thing to do is to crash he has a wicked turn at high speed, the best fish tale.
 Hudson had a good time racing around with mom, the boys like to use there feet so I had him not cheat and he had a fun time racing mom and Tea.
Tea loved watching the boys run around like usual, she wants to join them so bad she will just flaping her arms and start wiggling around. I love my kids and it was so fun to go and play with them!

First Snow man

AHhhh! I could just squash her, my friend made this cute hat for her.
It was so fun to teach the boys how to take a small snowball and roll it around to make it huge, they thought that was pretty cool.

Getting ready to do a dead lift, snow gets so heavy.
Favorite boys!
It is pretty sad that we thought it wasn't to cold this day 35 degrees , we must have got used to the cold weather a little or it could just be that  was above 15 degrees for the first time in a long time. 

Camera Clean Up

 Remy's stomach wrinkles, the picture doesn't do justice we were laughing so hard and had to stop reading scriptures and take a picture. He got a little self conscious after and had to check them out himself.

 Remy has been having a hard time going to bed lately, mostly adjusting to not having a binki and has a hard time staying in bed anyways. We will find him asleep on the floor next to Hudson's bed so this was a new spot for him. He turned the light on and decided to fall asleep on a hard piece of wood luckily he didn't have an indent on his face because I went in to check on him and moved him. Last night he was asleep in Hudson's bed with him. I am so glad that they are such good buddies.
 Travis was feeling these buckets up to take out and fill up a little pool to give Daisy a bath in. Remy went in to go potty and I guess he couldn't resist this is how I found him. Hudson had to join in on the fun so they had a early bath .

 Who needs weights when you have kids. They thought it was pretty fun, I did some shoulder presses with the boys and wiggly weight is fun.
I am so grateful for these cute boys! I love them each so much.

Happy Birthday Remy!

I can not believe that he is three already, it seems like yesterday that we were driving to the hospital in Puerto Rico at 5:30 in the morning to be induced. I was only five days over but more than ready to have a baby! Remy you are such a blessing to our family! You were born a healthy 8 lbs 15 oz at 4:30 in the afternoon. You were a happy baby from day one and as soon as you could smile thats all you did! You were such a quite baby and never cried. Your brother Hudson was so excited to be a big brother . I remember when you started to babble and make noise that Hudson had a hard time adjusting to you making noise all the sudden because you had been quite for the first months of your life. This morning when I told you happy birthday and you gave me one of your sweet kisses I had so many fun memories of you as a baby go through my thoughts. You are such a funny boy and love to make us all laugh, you are quite animated! You say the funniest things but I think that its the faces you make when you say things that make me smile more. Mom and Dad love you so much thank you for coming to our family! Happy Birthday!

 I asked Remy what kind of cake he would like to have and gave him a few ideas and he decided he wanted a football cake he has a hard time saying football and says "huttball".  All day today when I told him happy birthday or someone would sing to him he would excitedly say " huttball Take" I think he was excited about the cake. That is an improvement since last year, he wouldn't eat even a bite of his cake.
 Grandma Lil, Grandpa Lindz, and aunt Beth joined the birthday party via skype. I am so glad that we can see them some what and they love to see the kiddos.

 Tea is always our center piece at meals, she is a pretty cute one. She just likes to watch us and smile at us.
We started a new tradition for our birthdays, our good friends in PR introduced us to it. You let the birthday boy/girl take a big bite out of the cake! Remy thought that was pretty fun and Hudson really wanted a go at it so he had a turn after, okay Travis did too!
 Just a few days old! I picked a few pictures and wanted to do more but this post would never end. I have way to many favorites but here are just a few we enjoyed!


 This one is for Papa Lindz!

Monster Trucks!

We surprised the boys on Friday with Monster Truck tickets! We have always wanted to take them to one and I happened to see a commercial about it Friday morning so we thought what the heck lets go. The boys had a lot of fun and thought it was pretty cool to see them. They had a pit party before the show so we went early and got up close and personal with the trucks.
Hudson checking out the tires.

It was so loud, luckily we were able to borrow some hearing protection for the boys! I even wore some ear plugs. I love this picture of Hudson, I just happened to take it at the right moment. I guess one of the trucks almost crashed thats why he has such a sweet face. To bad a truck didn't crash I think that would have been a highlight for them.

Just some proof that I was there, I am always behind the camera. Remy would take of his ear muffs in between trucks, he didn't get them back on in time, don't worry I put them on for him right away.



It was pretty cool that they let the kids climb on the tires and meet the drivers. We felt a little out of place with all the rednecks ha ha.

Family Update

One of my goals this year is to write more about the kiddos once a month this is my way of journaling and I want to make sure I remember things.

Hudson is loving school right now and learning a lot. He has been reading for a few months and it is amazing how fast he pick things up. He is always sounding words out and trying to right them down.
He is getting faster at passing his books of that he brings home. Hudson went to the Cache Valley Crossfit gym that Travis has been training at last week and thought it was pretty cool to go to work with dad. He did a work out there with the 5 pound kettle bell, box jumps, pull ups and a 500 m row. He loves to try to do the different movements we do. At least we are being a good example of being fit for them. He loves to make crafts by himself or with me. He will pull out all the supplies and make something and bring me the final product. A few things he has created out of paper, glue and tape are a airplane, gingerbread man, snowman, cat, robot and bird. He is a nice brother to his siblings, he loves to wrestle and play with Remy and snuggle and kiss on Tea. He has his own little testimony of the church. He went to temple square with Travis and the youth in December, fast Sunday was the next day and he went up and bore his testimony. He said " yesternight I went to square temple and saw the statue of Jesus and I now he is true, the holy spirit told me this. I saw his nail prints. I know this church is true in the name of Jesus Christ amen." It was really sweet, he is growing up so fast. I love you Hudson!

Remy is turning into quite the three year old, but at least he is potty trained! He is are comical boy always saying something funny or making a funny face. We had him evaluated for his speech this month so we could get him in the school district program to see if they could help. He is a little behind but just this week has been saying more words, it is just hard to understand him sometimes. He started to call Hudson by his name but still will call him "kids" sometimes. Poor kid finally had his binki takin away, mean dad. Not really it was time he only had it when he slept but he is so big. We were waiting until he was fully potty trained so we didn't have a Hudson experience! Naps are now even more a fight which I have given up on, the other day he feel asleep watching a show on the couch, that's not normal for my kids. Remy and Hudson were wrestling a few days ago and he went to jump on hudson and landed on Hudsons knees and got the wind knocked out of him so bad that he was yelling until he passed out. Thankfully Travis was right there and caught him from falling and laid him down and it took it a good 10 seconds for him to come to. I was having a nap at the time and am glad it would have been scary for me, I could handle it if I had too. That was our first real wrestling injury. Remy likes to do everything by himself he is also a good helper. He misses Hudson aka his partner in crime while he is at school, and loves is baby sister.

Tea oh sweet Tea who Travis has nicknamed sweet cheeks. She is such a joy to have in our family. Her chubby cheeks are my favorite, along with he sweet smiles, giggles, sounds, and snuggles. She gave me a nice Christmas present, she has been sleeping 8 hrs from the time she goes to bed for a few weeks now. I love to kiss on her cheeks and let her kiss me back and then she sucks on my chin. She had her first haircut a  few weeks ago good by mullet and hello eyes. Her bangs were getting so long they were getting in her eyes. We have been putting her in the bouncy chair for a while and she figured out how to bounce in it this week it is really cute to watch her. She loves to watch her brothers and observe everything around her. I always wonder what she is thinking about. She is getting stronger and is trying to sit up, she will be 5 months old tomorrow I love this stage and wish I could freeze it.

Tea's first Haircut




Tea got her first haircut a week ago, she had a sweet mullet. I cut the mullet off and trimmed her bangs because they kept getting in her eyes.
