Playing catch up!!!

So Madi woke up from her nap so I went upstairs to get her and this is what I find! She slept with all this on her bed! I was laughing so hard! She has a ball a few books the cowboy hat and a ton of other stuff underneath of her! Don't ask me how she was able to sleep so good tho!

Swimming at Aunt Meg's house! Javan and Weston are 3 months apart Javan is older! They were loving just splashing around! After a couple nose dives tho Weston was ready to get out!

I was only able to get this picture of Madi and Kai! These two were having too much fun and would not hold still long enough so I could take a picture!

Before the nose dives!! Weston is now army crawling everywhere! He is a fast little bugger too!!

I'm sure this is how the Reeves boys wish they could hang out all the time! Naked with just a Michigan hat on and possibly their Michigan shoes! haha!

We went to the Lehi Day's Parade this year! This is before it started Weston loved sitting in this chair and Madi actually scooted her chair closer so she could sit next to him!

We went to the Lehi Roundup this year too!! Madi loves her glasses! Every time we go outside she wants to wear them! We finally had to take them off of her when it got dark and she was not happy! I got her to actually start cheering on the cowboys! (we cheered for the calves to run away too!! hehehe!) My mom's hair is starting to grow out pretty fast now! I'm excited to have fun with it when it gets a little longer!

I tried to get Brett to buy this hat cause I love it on him! He wouldn't tho and it made me sad... Who knew my husband would look so cute in a cowboy hat!!!

My friend Traci came to Utah and we were finally able to hang out! She came to my moms and put the kids in the pool for a little bit! This is Chase, Madi and Weston! I had to post this tho cause look at my kids! They have their foreheads together and are having a stare down!! Weston saw Chase on his hands and knewws crawling a little so he tried the hands and knees thing and decided it wasn't for him and he could go a lot faster army crawling!

Here are our two chunky babies!!! Chase is 9 days younger then Weston but that is only cause Weston cheated and came 4 weeks early!! Hopefully we will hang out again before she goes home! (Traci you guys need to move back here!!)

So the past few months have been long! In March my mom had brain surgery because of a golf ball size tumor! It was a meningioma(sp) which if given the choice that is the best kind to have! The majority are non-cancerous which thank heavens hers was also! Within 2 weeks my poor mom had half her thyroid taken out because of a growth on it which was not cancerous also, and had brain surgery! So she has a battle wound on her neck and one on her head! We had to shave all her hair off so of course she had me do it and good thing it was just shaving it because I couldn't see what I was doing I was crying so much! On the bright side we donated her hair to Locks of Love!! She is recovering amazingly! She is back doing her same old things causing trouble and being my goofy funny loving mommy! Our family could not be more grateful that she is doing so well and for the amazing doctors that did her surgeries. We know Heavenly Father was watching out for her. On a lighter note we moved yet again! We now are renting a town house my parents bought which has been a huge blessing! It is a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath with an unfinished basement. We are hoping to finish the basement by the end of the year but we will see! For now we are grateful to have a really nice place to live! It has a little backyard too! The trick is trying to get my kid to go outside and play on the grass! She is such a chicken! Buts that one of the many reasons why we love her! We are now preparing for my little brother to come home from his mission! He gets in this Thursday (July 8) and I can't wait! We have tons of things to do to get ready for him to come home! It is going to be so much fun tho! He has 2 nephews he has not yet met and a niece and nephew he has not seen since they were 3 and 7 months old!! I have the next few weeks planned out for him! lol!! Oh well poor kid is going to get ambushed when he gets home! We are also getting ready for Brett's 2 sisters and nephew to move out here in August! I'm so excited! We haven't lived around any of his family since we have been married so it is going to be so much fun to have at least some of his family nearby! Now if the rest of them would just move out here it would be a total party all the time! (hint hint guys!) Weston is the biggest tease now! He will crawl up to Madi and try to touch whatever she has or grabs her clothes or something and when she screams he gets the biggest grin on his face! He has this little troublesome twinkle in his eyes that looks just like my grandpa Hatch had when he was about to be michievious so I'm thinking the two of them had a chat before Weston was born and my grandpa clued him in on some of his tricks! Other then that my kids are getting big (mainly him!) Madi is in her terrible twos which is so exciting.......not!!!!! We have our good days and bad days! But I wouldn't trade them in for anything! I love my babies so much. My husband is such a good husband too when he gets home he does daddy duty which relieves some stress! I love my little family and would not trade them for anything in the world!!

So Madi has finally started to interact with Weston a little more and the other day at my moms she ran grabbed her booster seat set it in front of him and made him laugh hysterically! I'm mad I didn't catch the first part of this because he was laughing so hard it was hilarious!!!

Sick kids....

Madison's new game is to push "bruder" around and run him into things and say "sorry bruder" its funny and they actually both enjoy the game!!

Madi was following me around this day with the little bathtub and every time I would stop moving for a second she would hurry and lay down in and and sigh it was so funny she definitely is getting a bigger and bigger personality every day!

She has now discovered that she can get into the swing so she will just sit in it forever and sometimes turn on the music and make it swing for her! Thank heavens this swing is heavy duty!!

Papa Reeves got to ride in my dad's hot rod..... Yes this is my dad's pride and joy! It is a 1923 T-bucket. There is just a few more things he has to finish with it and then it will be finished! We definitely have fun riding in it and he no doubt enjoys taking us all on rides! This thing has some major get up and go to it!

It was nice to have Brett's parents and sister Rachelle come up here and stay with us for a little! Madi was stuck to Rachelle's hip and had to do everything like her it was so funny!

This was the first time Brett's mom and sister have met Weston it was fun! Weston is just a goober and melted their hearts! Madi had so much fun having more attention and people to play with!

He had to have his foot up to be able to sleep! Brett tried putting his foot down and he put it right back up!

Apparently this is a climbing wall not a play kitchen!

She put on make up! Okay permanent marker all on her face! Thankfully it comes right off with a wipie! She kept telling me "mommy pretty makeup"

I love this picture it looks like they are having a little conversation!

Here is my little goobers! He smiles at everything! He is almost 6 months old!!!

So the last 3 weeks have been hard and exhausting. Both my kids have had a horrible cough snotty noses and not sleeping at night! Madi still has a little cough but seems to be a ton better. Weston still coughs and he wasn't sleeping through the night anymore and was crying all the time which is totally opposite of what he usually is like so I brought him to the doctor and the poor little guy has a DOUBLE ear infection!! And I guess its a pretty bad one too! Thank heavens for anti biotics cause by the second day on them he slept through the night! YAY!!! Now I am trying to catch up on lost sleep which I seem completely unable to do! We are more then excited and ready for summer!! Oh and we are moving yet again.... We have no idea where but we are moving the last weekend of this month! Brett will start school in the fall! I'm excited but not. He will be working and going to school all the time so there won't be much time to see him but I know in the end it will be worth it! Hope all is well with everyone else!!!

Easter!!!

Its a tradition in Brett's family that the Easter Bunny hides the baskets so when you get up in the morning you have to go find it! So we have adopted that tradition into our family! I think Madi liked trying to find it! She would say "where'd it go!?" It was so cute! We didn't get her much cause we knew grandma would spoil her and she really doesn't need anymore toys!

Doesn't Weston look so excited to go find his basket!!! Lol!

The Easter Bunny got him a little lamb and he loves it! He holds it and cuddles it! Not to mention he tries to eat it! I think he wants Madison's candy more though in this picture!!!

This is Madison's and Kai's Easter egg hunt! They went crazy! Kai got distracted with just running for a minute but then got back on track it was so funny!! Meg and Brett had to go out and hold the baskets cause they were getting heavy!

So our Snow family tradition is a little kid Easter egg hunt and a big kid Easter egg hunt! This is a split second before my dad yelled GO! there really is no other pictures because we were running around like crazy!! My mom puts money in the big kid eggs! Its awesome! It was definitely a good Easter!!

Oh guess what!?!?!?! Weston now can roll from back to front! I'm so excited but then that means that the little stinker is going to be getting more mobile from here on out! AAAAhhhhh!!!!!

I forgot to post these forever ago but here are Madison's 2 year stats and Weston's 4 month stats!

Madison

Length 34.5 in 50th percentile

Weight 24.8 lbs 25th percentile

Head circumference 90th percentile!! (she doesn't look like she has a huge head tho!!!)

Weston

Length 26.75 in 97 th percentile!!!!

Weight 15.9 lbs 75th percentile

Head 75th percentile!

My babies are getting so big!! Weston is just tall and skinny and Madi is still my little petite thing! I swear Weston is going to be as big as her pretty soon!!! I'm excited Grandma and grandpa Reeves and Rachelle are coming in town this next week! Hopefully I will get lots of pictures and I'm sure we will have to much fun cause we always do with them!!

Happy Birthday Madison!!!

He has been in his own bed now for a few weeks thank heavens!!! He is such a good sleeper! He will sleep from 9 pm to 10 or 10:30 am!!! Too bad my 2 year old won't even consider sleeping that much! I don't lose sleep because of him I lose sleep because of her!!

So I got myself an ice cream sandwich unwrapped it when Weston spit up all over me! So I took off running to go change then realized I left my ice cream on the couch. So I peak around the corner and this is what I see! Brett and I were laughing so hard!

Madi loves her grandma!! When we go over to grandma's house Madi is attached to grandma's hip! We love my mom so much! Heavenly Father has been watching over her. We are thankful for the love and support and prayers! She is making an absolutely amazing recovery!! My mom is a fighter! I think the stubborn feisty Portuguese in her has definitely come out! lol!!

Look how handsome!! His daddy was very impressed! Thank you Grandma Reeves!!

She knows how to use Brett's IPOD touch better then most people! She knows which games she wants to play she knows how to exit them and find them its amazing!!

Brett did a good job blowing up balloons and putting them everywhere! I told him he had to blow them all up since he wouldn't let me buy any floating ones! It looked good tho!!

After her nap I hurry did her hair and had to take a picture before she ruined it!

So Kai and Addie were attached at the hip! They were best buds event tho Kai is all boy and kept picking up dirt and throwing it at her! She is a little champ tho!!

Lucy and Des had the kids out side screaming and cheering and screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADI! It was so cute! I'm not sure Madi really caught onto the whole fact that it was her birthday!!

I swear these two are the most strong headed stubborn bosy little girls! They boss each other around all the time. One wants the door open the other one closed so they fight and yell over it! They seriously fight like sisters! Sometimes tho they actually get along! They seem to get along with everyone else tho! (don't let this picture fool you they have one hand on the box and are holding the other ones hand to make sure one doesn't take it!)

I love this little modeling picture! She is so funny! I think by this point she was exhausted!!

The only picture for the day with the two of them! He was a good boy and pretty much slept the whole time! And thanks to everyone helping with the party and with the kids and with the not so tasty cup cakes and amazing egg pealing!! lol hehehehehe!!! Love you all!!!

Just some pictures!

He is finally wanting to lift up his head not too much he would rather lay flat and not do anything tho!!

3 generations of Reeves men! Too bad I didn't put Weston in his Michigan outfit!! They all could have matched! lol!

He is so flippen cute when he sleeps like this!

We blessed Weston on Super Bowl Sunday and then had a Super Bowl party at our house! (don't worry i took this picture 3 weeks after the fact! He is way to long for it in this picture if you could see his legs he is pretty much wearing capri's!)

Brett was attempting to give Weston a bath but Madi kept wanting to stand on his heals and jump! It made me laugh and to tell you the truth I didn't help one bit! I wanted to see how good he was at multi tasking 2 kids!!

Cadillac LOVES when the kids are around because they throw him food! He kept scooting closer and closer trying to pretty much get onto her tray!

These two are little characters!!!

Weston kept trying to hold Braelyn's hand but she kept playing hard to get! She is 2 weeks older then Weston!

This is my audience pretty much every time I want to take a shower. It seems like every time I go to take a shower he wakes up and she wants to come play in the bathroom.

She always wants him to come sit next to her so I put him there turned around then looked back and she had them both covered! She is such a good little mommy!

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium the other day and he was so fascinated by the fish it was cute watching him track them and everything!

My new favorite hairstyle on her!

Madi wanted to play with the saddle horn she would not look up! I put Kai on with me too really fast though and he thought it was so cool!

Hahaha funny........The guy was yelling at the top of his lungs that it was my 25th birthday and that I was a little embarrassed so lets make me more embarrassed and yell yyyeeeehhhaaawww so everyone around yelled "YYYYEEEEHHHAAAAWWW" and clapped... I was bright red I'm sure!

This is my awesome hubby and me on my birthday!

All the snow had finally melted we were able to go outside and walk and play..... ya then this hit! This is from my basement apartment window! Alpine gets dumped on so bad its crazy!! I had a foot plus on top of my car and there was more coming down!!!

What day is it again????

So life is absolutely crazy with two kids!!! I don't even know what day it is most of the time! Madi got RSV for the first time in her life!! I mean she has been sick before but not like this! The poor thing! Thank heavens she recovers quite quickly from things like that! I am so thankful though that Weston did not get it! Some how we lucked out and I am so grateful! He got a snotty nose but that is it no coughing! The doctor was sure that he was going to see us again by the end of that week but thankfully we didn't need to go especially because our lovely insurance raised our co-payment by $15!!! I am so sick of insurance and all that crap! They seriously take like half our paycheck! Weston is getting huge! Madi stayed so tiny! She was still in size 2 diapers at 6 months! Weston just turned 4 months yesterday and has pretty much outgrown his size 2's!! Then Madi was always true to size with clothes then you have him who was just starting to grow out of his 3 month old pajamas and so I go get him some size 6 months.... ya big mistake! Good thing I didn't buy a huge amount! I have to now go out get him just a couple 9 month old pajamas and then stock up on 12 month old ones! The little boy is so long too!! We are hoping he got some tall jeans from one of our families! He giggles and smiles all the time! Its a good thing cause at 2 am I'm not too happy to be awake and when he smiles I can't stay mad! He definitely melts my heart that's for sure! Madi is turning into a funny little character! She is a demanding little thing and lets you know when she doesn't like something!! She turns 2 this month! I can't believe she is getting so big! My favorite thing is when she calls Brett "babe" or "honey" and when he doesn't answer to those she yells as loud as she can "BRETT" its so funny! She has her daddy so wrapped around her little finger! She says "come here, now!!" Its crazy the phrases she puts together by herself and from listening to Brett and I! She tells Weston when he is crying "baby coming coming baby!" She gives him kisses and most of the time he gives her a big grin. He watches her walking by and gets all excited! She loves him one minute and wants to hurt him the next! We love all her crazy mood swings and all! I can't lie some days (like today) I count the minutes until my amazing husband gets home to distract her and keep her entertained! I'm so glad I married a hyperactive man that loves to play with our kids after a long day at work! So my birthday was on Saturday and Brett spoiled me! He let me sleep in and then brought me breakfast in bed. Madi helped carry it in and then she sat next to me and says "mommy bite"! She cracks me up! He made me scrambled eggs and muffins! Then he took care of the kids all day! It was so nice! He got my 3 shirts and earrings from one of my favorite stores and 2 Cd's! We went out that night to Texas Roadhouse which if you don't like loud places and everyone looking at you while they make you sit on a saddle cause it's your birthday don't go there! lol!! It was fun I love going to dinner and stuff with my family! I am grateful for a loving supportive family who is willing to help with anything. And I'm so very grateful for my loving supportive husband who sticks by me through all my crazy mood swings. He seriously is my rock and I'm glad he loves me for who I am! Some days I'm surprised he still wants to come home after hearing me going crazy with my emotional 2 year old!
