Princess Londyn

Well When we were at the reunion Londyn got some headshots I would call it and her poses are funny and the video is even better EnjoY!!

home and alive!

Well we survived the Hokanson family reunion and I think I was maybe the only one in our family that actually cried mostly because I was HUNGRY and ornery! Needless to say we really enjoyed our time in Idaho and Wyoming. The house we rented was way nice. The pots and pans weren't the greatest and there was no AC so at times it was miserable sorry everyone. I took the liberty and broke down the top 6 things about this reunion they are
6. we stayed in a wicked nice house with a hidden playroom. *( toys still managed to get about on every floor)
5. We were able to stay up late after kids went to bed and talk ( I dont know if I really stayed up late)
4. The kids were occupied so we only really had to worry about tho em at mealtime and bedtime. ( that only pertained to the older two, Brick almost always had one of us knowing where he was!
3. We only had to cook one meal
2. Williams whole family was there!
Drum roll!!!
1. I held baby Jax alot, there is something about holding little newborn, they are so precious and they have a special spirit about them. Because you know they just came from Heavenly Father and they are just tooo precious. Thanks Jenny for putting up with me ALWAYS wanting to hold baby Jax!! Well those are just some of the highlights of the trip. There will be another two posts when I get the videos for them. Jonah also turned 6 so watch for his birthday blog!! Love ya all

Brick + Toliet= TROUBLE

Well it is offiicial Brick likes toliet water two to one! The other night I was reading with Jonah and Brick came in with SMILE ON HIS face and a flashing mug full of water. William and I both look at each other wondering if the other person had gotten him the water when we realized that neither one of us got it for him. He then proceded to fugure out which toliet that water came luckily it was from our toliet so the water was as clean as toliet water can be. I am happy it wasn't from the kids bathroom because they tend to never flush! Gross! I guess I should have told Brick what a big boy he was since he got his own water but I think we will have to continue teaching him that the toliet isn't for drinking. Well we are off to Rexburg for a day then off to a reunion in star valley so blogging might be scarce! We had our first appt yesterday and it was weird not going to the usual doctors. I really don't know if any of the staff are nurses, they used a wrist cuff to take my blood pressure, I think they only have one device to listen to the babys heartbeat, ( because they kept coming in my room to borrow it only to come back again , and again), It was just such a low key office. I don't know if thats what I want In an OB doctor. He did do an ultrasound I am glad he knew how to use it. The baby looks good. I am right on schedule we saw the heart beating. It was really scary! I don't know if I am ready for this again. I guess I have no choice. Last night I hadn't exercised yet so Jonah rode his bike, while I jogged with Brick and Londyn were in the jogging stroller. I thought I would die because I haven't run with the stroller in a long time but it was really refreshing and nice. Especially the sprinklers that were on randomly through the trail. (Brick didn't like that since all he had on was a daiper and one shoe!) Well I hope all is well with everyone. As for me I am cranky so I better get going! lOVE YA aLL

call of duty

Last night we went to my cousin Bridgetts wedding reception and lets just say Londyn jumped right in she saw that Bridgetts nieces were getting there hair done so she squeezed her way in there and came out with pretty curly hair and she insisted on having a flower in her hair just like the other girls. She then preoceded to follow them around and do what they were doing when it was time to go outside for dancing the nieces were carrying her train and guess who was in the exictement too you guessed it Londyn she was leading the pack and she was the only one who didn't have the matching dress they were all sporting, but she did not care. She thought Bridgett was a princess and she was getting in there to do what she could do. While they were having dancing Brick was dancing alone so I went and joined him. Then I got Charlotte(My cousins daughter) to dance and can I say Cute they were both holding hands and moving from side to side. I will post a picture later when I get one. It was sooooo cute!! During this whole time Jonah was playing with ammon. It was an ideal location for a wedding reception because the place had a playground. It used to be a school.

The birthday boy

Well Yesterday was my sweet husbands birthday. H e is a big bad 31! Let me tell you a little about our day. Monday(the day before williams b-day) I went to bed thinking how am I going to get everything done that I need to for williams party. Luckily my kids woke up at 6:20 so I was blessed wih a head start. Thanks kids! )hear the sarcasm) Anyway Londyn helped me decorate the living room with crete paper and she even designed a smily face with crete paper she was really proud. Next we cleaned rooms and started on breakfast and everyone helped Brick put blueberries on the pancakes, Londyn flipped them and made orange juice, and Jonah made eggs. Man with helpers like this why do I need to get them sippy cups with chocolate milk?? Needless to say we got breakfast made and were about to assemble it to take into william when he came out so I firmy told him to go back to bed but of course in a somewhat nice manner. I didn't go through what I went through not to do breakfast in bed. Anyway breakfast was nice. After breakfast I took the kids to get Willaim some presents. Needless to say we took everything back because under the distress of having all three kids and feeling a little dizzy i got XXL thinking it was an XL wow that was a fast one pulled over on me! I went and got lunch for us at Cafe Rio and somehow snuck in a quick nap, before jonah and londyns friends arrived. Since the kids were occupied william and I were able to finally finish the whole season of Arrested Development. Funny show! Well for dinner I made some ribs, corn, rolls, and honey dew. It turned out pretty good. After dinner as Londyn said we put fire on the cake and sang the ususal happy birthday song. Can i say that the kids helped me make the cake, frost it, and put the candles on the cake. ( the candles were placed randomly on the cake but the did get all 31) After cake and Ice cream I was still feeling dizzy so i did as the doctor ordered and drank more liquids. Do not drink 32 oz of water on a already full stomach it will cause the following cramping, feelings similar to a water ballon being filled up in your stomach, followed by the release of the water ballon which causes a huge blowout coming out of the mouth and nose. Do not attempt it was not fun. Not even 5 minutes later Out little climber Brick was attempting to climb on the window sill and he hit something which caused him to fall and almost pass out. It was really scary! We were blowing in his face and his eyes were rolling back it was horrible, but I don't think he had any bad side effects from it. After all that drama We had some suprise visitors Cari, Brittney, Emilee, and Riley( Williams brothers wife and 3 of their kids were in the area and stopped by) What a fun visit from them and it helped make williams special day even better! After the left we watched a few more episodes of Wipe out on ABC (FUNNY FUNNY SHOW) I think I was almost crying at one point! I finally crashed at almost midnight. Buff and I have been married for almost8 years and yeah it has had its ups and downs but man he is a great catch, he is sweet, definatly my handyman, Great husband, and dad. His kids love him sooooo much. Happy birthday William

call me cinderella and packing up

So the other day I was bringing home 4 other kids not counting my own from cousin camp and I had a little girl Londyns age in the car. Her name is Juliana any way they were playing and Juliana asked Londyn now whats your name again and Londyn proceded to say just call me Cinderella the princess. So she did call her cinderella! Can I say high maintenance. On Sunday after a crappy nap I came out and say that the kids were packing up there clothes for a trip we are taking in a week and a half. Needless to say they made a mess. Jonah was Londyns little servant and whatever she wanted down from her closets top shelf he got d0wn. Sad how clean my house was and how dirty it is now!! BOO HOO! I have my work cut out for me today!. So needless to say after we had a very stressful day with kids we said this is definately a night for the happy pill. SO every child got a 1/4 of a tablet and there were no fights for bed time thank you! I even took some bendadryl and knocked myself out at about 8:30 to try and forget about the crazy day!. I also have a lovely sinus infection so I will be visiting the doctor today so I can feel better! William and I had a great time on our overnight date. iT was much needed and very relaxing. WE were gone 23 hours and Brick was the cutest when we came home he made a hahahha sound and galloped over to me and snuggled. Jonah and Londyn hugged us and wanted to know what we brought them. I wonder if they were a little disappointed with their rice krispie treats! Well I better get started on the dreadful task of cleaning up after the tornado!!!

My day got BETTER

Today was one of those days that I thought the whole world was crashing down on me. (thanks to the added pregnancy hormones) I was in charge with my cousin EMily for cousin camp, and lets just say things were a little harder to get done. Anyway when I left my house to go to draper it was a MESS even though I did a good pickup yesterday. I was frazzled and just kept thinking relax you will have time to clean when you get home. ( william and I are going on an overnight date tonight and i wanted the house clean for Aunt Pearl) Anyway I was on my way home and I was DREADING cleaning because I felt tired and my throat hurt. When I walked in and saw that my house was clean I cried. Literally I cried it was like the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. AND who do I have to thank for this saving grace MY HUSBAND he is amazing. The other day he spent 6 hours working on our car and saved us a lot of money! Anyway I wanted everyone to know how much I LOVE MY HUSBAND and How grateful I am for this act of kindness! It made my life a million times better!!!

tooth fairy

Well today Jonah officially lost his first tooth. This morning we went on a bike ride to the library and he had to stop twice to wiggle his loose tooth he said. Later today he was eating a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich and he came in saying that his tooth was bent back so I grabbed a tissue and pulled it out. For some reason Jonah does not like the sight of blood, so as soon as he saw that he was bleeding he starting getting upset and spitting the blood on my kitchen floor! We were then talking about the tooth fairy and he asked if he could put in options on what the tooth fairy could bring him. He asked if I was smarter than the tooth fairy or if the tooth fairy was smarter then me. OF course I said that I am smarter than the tooth fairy. He then asked if the tooth fairy could be tricked. I said why he said because maybe if my friend loses a tooth he could give it to me to put under my pillow after the tooth fairy visits him. I got a kicker out of that! He specifically asked me to take a picture with just him in it so here are some and then here are some of the kids!!

Cute things

Well I wanted to write some things that Londyn has said lately that are cute. One day she said that some day we are going to go on a rocket and look at constellations. Another time she said that I was a cheater because we were doing an I SPY book and it was my turn, but she said I was a cheater because she said it was her turn. I think during the whole book she called me a cheater about 4 times. Yesterday we were going to cousin camp and to get there we go past the point of the mountain when we were passing it Londyn asked if that was the Grand Canyon? I just told her it was some sand dunes. She says the cutest things lately she also asked yesterday if we could trade Brick for a little sister!! ( I was babysitting a little girl yesterday that Londyn thought would be a fun sister. Except she wants to name a little sister Shelly. Neway everone is doing well Brick is still sleeping through the night. Jonah is enjoying swimming. Can you believe that was her?? She has grown up so much!!

4 of July

Well we had a fun day yesterday. We got up and left our house at around 6:15 to go to provo. I was doing a 5K. On the way to pick up Aunt Pear(she also ran in the race) We got to see the hot air balloons start to blow up so the kids enjoyed that. While I was running the race the Kids and william were at the finish line and they got to see some hot air ballons land by them they thought that was cool. As for me I fisnished the race but I didn't have hardly an umph to do good this time luckily my knee didn't hurt. After the race we decided to go watch the parade that was fun. Londyn lucked out with a cute Tiara that some lady has made and she got it for 2.00. She was thrilled! When we got home I took the kids swimming at a friends of a friends pool. After we came home Londyn got all dolled up in her princess attire and asked Jonah if she looked Beautiful and he responded very cranky I ALREADY ANSWERED YOU SO STOP ASKING IF YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!! She tends to ask Jonah that a lot so his response is getting more agitated. I told him that girls like to be told they are beautiful. We had some friends over for dinner which we really had breakfast food for dinner instead of the usual BBQ. It was fun the kids had fun. After our friends left we did our fireworks and can I say Jonah has warmed up to the idea of fireworks more than last year, Londyn still is scared of them, and Brick wanted to practiculy eat the fireworks he couldn't get enough of them. At one point Londyn was in bed, and William and Jonah were sitting on the truck bed watching fireworks and Brick was standing by the door screaming and wanting to go watch more. He finally went to sleep after EVERYONE was inside. Needless to say all struture went out the door last night and we have some tired kids!! Right now Londyn is at a princess birthday party dressed to the T and I'm sure she is loving it,(they had some Aunts or something dressed for the party and they were doing to make a special appearance!!) Well here are some pictures of our day!! Love ya All!!
