Poor Porter

Porter is having a bad week. Today, Adam and the three older boys got into a water fight outside. The front door got soaked and some of the water came inside. I didn't have a chance to clean it up, before Porter ran and slipped. He somehow hit the metal part on the bottom of the entrance and cut open his forehead. Adam took him to the er tonight and he had to get three stitches. Poor guy, hopefully next week will be better for him. He does fall down a lot and usually always has a bruise on his forehead.

Adam took the two older boys camping last night with my family. I stayed home with the two younger boys. I got a lot done with just two kids. It was really quiet in the house. Porter and I had fun, he helped clean the house and then we had some fun. We ate pizza and watched a movie. I did let him stay up latter, hoping he would sleep in, but no such luck. I also didn't sleep as good, because Adam was gone, I heard every single noise in the house. Adam and the boys had a lot of fun, they are already talking about next year and how they want to stay longer.

I am having a hard time getting my pictures onto the computer but hopefully I will get it done in the next few days and you can see more pictures of Michael. He is doing good. He must be going through a growth spurt because all he wants to do is eat. When we went to the dr, he had gained a pound already.

Scary Moment

On Friday, I had to take Michael to the Dr office. I took all the boys and as we were leaving the office, Porter started trying to throw up. I stopped to help him and realized that he couldn't breathe. He was turning blue so I called for help. I had some people rush over to help, one guy yelled to call 911. By the time a nurse came to help, a guy came over and hit Porter on his back. Guess what popped out of his mouth? A matchbox car! Not a really tiny one, but the regular size one. I was so shocked that he had swallowed that. Thankfully he is ok and nothing serious happened to him. I am so thankful that I was at the Dr office and that I had people to help me.

Give away!

There is a great give away at http://www.fabulesslyfrugal.com/2009/06/giveaway-rustic-tin.html

Go see what they are giving away

Michael Thomas

Michael Thomas was born on June 13th weighing in at 7 pounds and 20 inches long.
He is so loved by his brothers. One night, he was in the room with his dad and his two oldest brothers. I walked in the room and he was in his bouncer, but there was a bowl by his face. I showed Adam and made a comment that we have to keep on eye on Harker and what he does to the baby. Latter that night, I was going to bed with Harker, it was my turn to pray, so as I was praying, Harker stopped me and said that he wanted to finish the prayer. He finished the prayer by asking that Michael would not throw up again, but if he did that he would get him another bowl to throw up in. It was so cute and just made my heart burst with pride that my little boy would worry about his little brother. I told him how proud I was of him, but that Michael is too little for bowls, and that next time just to tell mommy or daddy and we will clean him up. He was like ok, just like when I throw up in bed?

The boys will fight over who gets to sit by him or hold him. The day I got home, I had to lay flat on my back all day, due to some problems I was having from my epidural, and the first thing Harker told me was that he was going to take care of me. He would not leave my side for the longest time.

Porter is very protective of all of Michael's things. He will not let any of the boys use his blankets or touch his hats. He will grab them from them, and say NO, this is the baby's, and then give it the things to me.

Jesse also loves holding and taking care of the baby. If the baby makes any noises, he will hurry and tell me that the baby needs me.

I am bouncing back a little slower then normal, but doing good. I have been spoiled by my parents and friends from church. I have meals brought to me everyday and sisters in the ward watching my kids during the day while adam is at work. Adam was able to take off a few days and help out a whole bunch.

If this post doesn't make sense, its because I have been sleep deprived. :) I will work on posting more pictures soon.

Ants

The boys have decided that they like ants now. They are going to take care of some ants that they found today. They gave them some food and something to drink, plus a little pit of shade.


When it was time to come in, Harker wanted the ants to sleep with him. Don't you think they would like an ant farm?

Changing body and sweet deal

I can't not believe this, but after being pregnant four times, this is the first time I have ever gotten a picture of my stomach while I was pregnant. I always put it off and then its too late. In this picture I am 34 1/2 weeks pregnant.


Have I ever said I loved Albertsons? Well I do, especially when they have their double coupons. I was there for quite awhile, but it was all worth it in the end. This is what I got

-8 boxes of cereal
- 2 ritz chips
- 4 Ritz crackers
- 1 wheat thins
- 1 Capri Sun
- 1 Saltines
- 4 A1 Sauces
- 2 Graham Crackers
- 4 Bagelfuls
- 2 Huggies lotions

I only paid 19 dollars for all that! I save over 90 dollars with all my coupons. YEA!! The best transaction that I did was the two huggies lotion and a box of cereal for, you are reading right, 1 penny. That was the best one.

I also went to Walgreens and got a blood sugar monitor for pretty much free. I just had to pay tax, which was 1.24 and then I got 5 dollars Register rewards to use on my next purchase.

I had a great shopping day today thanks to Shannon for sharing her double coupons with me and my sister.

Helping Daddy

Last night, my car wouldn't start. We figured out that the battery was completely dead and needed a new one. This morning, I asked the boys who was going to go outside and help daddy put the new battery in the car. All the boys got excited. Porter ran off and came back with a size AAA battery and handed it to Adam. It was so cute.
