We have a WINNER!

Or rather two winners. Victoria and Christy got the "Who's Who" correct. The correct order is: Noah, Tahirah, Landon and Carson. Congratulations you two. Your prize is the satisfaction of knowing that you could tell my children apart better than their own father could!

Busy Month!

(FYI, referring to my last post....nobody has gotten them all right yet. Not even their own Dad!) Well, this has been quite the busy month for us. Landon is now one month old! Time has just flown. A week after he was born my mom stayed with us for a week. The day she left my sister in law Toni and her kids came up from Vegas for a week. The kids swapped houses nightly between ours and Michael and Christy's. We also kept their two dogs here. It was so much fun having Toni here. She, Christy and I were able to have lunch and Toni and I were also able to have a day of shopping. I can't wait until she moves to Draper! I was almost kid free for three days. I drove the kids up to my Grandma and Grandpa Denton's house to meet my mom. She took the older three kids to my grandma Campbell's house for the Easter weekend. They are still talking about all the fun they had especially being able to hold the new baby kittens. My Grandma even made up some Easter baskets for them. The day after the kids left Dayv's parents, Ron and Janelle, came into town and stayed at our house for another week. It was a lot of fun having them around. We didn't think they were going to make it because Janelle had gotten shingles in her eye and herpes down her throat! Her throat was all better by the time they came and her eye had much improved. We blessed Landon on Easter Sunday since Ron and Janelle were here. Janelle made his adorable blessing outfit.Easter afternoon all the cousins had a Easter egg hunt at Michael and Christy's and then we all ate a fabulous Easter dinner prepared by Christy.

To top off all this madness Dayv and I celebrated out 7th anniversary! I can't believe it's been 7 YEARS! It has gone by so fast. I guess time flies when your having fun! We met Thanksgiving weekend in 2001. One of my roommates from college set us up on a blind date. We played laser tag and saw the first Harry Potter movie in the theatre. When I said goodbye to him that night I honestly never thought I'd see him again. I was definitely interested in him but just didn't get the feeling that he felt the same way. I tried to go home but they closed the canyon because of the snow. I was going to just sleep in my car at the gas station but Dayv had called my roommate and told her to tell me to call him. I did and he convinced me to come back to his aunt's house (where he was living) and spend the night there. Apparently I was wrong and he asked me out again and we visited the art museum at the university. Then he asked me to go to Vegas with him to help one of his brother's get his copy shop ready to open up. I'm still not exactly sure why I said yes, it sounds rather crazy now. It felt like we had known each other forever so at the time it really didn't seem crazy to me. Everybody was teasing me saying I was going to come back from Vegas married but instead I just came back engaged, two weeks after we had met! We got married four months later in the Logan temple and moved to Salt Lake. Now, here we are seven years later with four kids, three cats, two dogs and move in love than ever!!

Who's Who?

We get told all the time that our children look so much alike and we don't disagree. In fact I have a hard time telling some of their newborn pictures apart. Here are pictures of our kids all within their first week. So, take a guess...who's who?

My Poor Cat!

Last week I noticed that one of my cat Sabastian's fangs was looking like it was going to fall out. I took him to the vet and before we even got there it had fallen out in his kennel. The vet looked at his teeth and told me all of his teeth were rotted. She asked if I was sure on his age (5 years) because it was really unusual for a cat that young to have such awful teeth. So, she suggested doing a feline Leukemia and AIDS test. They both came back negative and we scheduled a dental which was yesterday. He ended up having ALL of his teeth pulled out! I felt so sorry for him. I guess he won't have to eat soft food for the rest of his life however. They told me eventually his gums get hard and he can eat hard food again, weird! So, now I have to figure out a way to give him his medication daily which is NOT going to be easy!

P.S. For anyone that wanted to view all of Landon's newborn pics I set up a hyperlink in the post below.

Landon's Newborn Pictures

I would honestly have to say I have the best sister in law ever. I recently was telling her that I had really wanted to get professional newborn pictures of Landon but Dayv really didn't think it was a good idea as far as our finances go. Well, Christy decided that Landon had to have newborn pics and offered to take me and Landon and share a session with her and Christian (her little boy). Now I do have to mention that this is not the only reason she is the best sister in law ever. She and Michael (my brother in law) are always looking out for us and Christy has truly become the sister I never had (ahhhhh) without all the yucky annoying biological sister stuff. I LOVE YOU CHRISTY! Anyway, I am absolutely thrilled with how Landon's pictures turned out. Take a look for yourselves! Here is a small sampling of what was taken ( I have dino dial-up so I couldn't upload them all without it taking a year or two). P.S. Christy just sent me the link to view all of the pictures that were taken. To view just click here.
