My little Rose
playing a little song

Last Thursday
Last Thursday I went to Payson Lakes! I dropped the big kids off at their cousins, then Rose and I jumped in the car with LaNell and the kayaks! We had a nice drive up there and we checked out the campground for next week when my family comes and then we paddled around the lake in the kayaks. Rose was a trooper the whole time. The afternoon out with Lan was a good idea and tons of fun.
Jana and Rose on the lake! It's really pretty up there.
On Monday I took the kids to 7 peaks again! We hadn’t been all month so it was time. We only did 3 things — Lazy River, Wave Pool, and the 2 medium slides by the lazy river. Benji and Packer just realized how fun the slides can be. They went on those ones at least 20 times each and Cali and I went a few times while the boys watched Rose at the bottom.
On Tuesday morning I have Cub Scouts and then we came home and waited for the Garage Door man to come fix our broken spring. That evening we just took it easy and MY BROTHER SEAN GOT HOME FROM HIS MISSION!! I haven’t seen him yet. The entire family is coming out here on Monday so I am waiting for him to come to us. I have talked to him though. He seemed really good and reminded me how hard it is to adjust back after giving of all your time and energy for 2 years. It is hard to think about yourself, everything you do seems pointless or selfish. He has definitely grown, his theme seems to be Exact Obedience… I am excited to see him next week.
I stole this pic - it is the only one I've seen of him!
Wednesday was play group at my house! Some of he neighbors came over and swam and played for a couple of hours. Wednesday was also when I got Snyder Dry Wall to come work on the laundry room! They put up all of the sheet rock that day and now they are finishing the mud, tape and texture.
My fun little neighbor came and held rose all during play group - she is such a good helper. Rose went right to sleep in her arms - adorable.
ready to sheet rock! I was proud of myself for moving that electrical outlet down from the upper ceiling. I know it should be in the wall but the wall was already sheet rocked and how fun is a plug in the ceiling anyway :)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
we found some zucchini hiding in the garden!
and that brings me to today… we took a quick trip to the pond this morning. My kids don’t get in past their knees but they like digging in the sand and Rose was determined to eat it.

I wrote this all last night and got tooo tired to post so now it’s Friday but I’m not going back to change the wording 🙂 Happy Weekend!
Sick Baby
Rose has had a fever off and on since Wednesday night. She has been a sleepy head trying to beat whatever it is that she’s got. She’s been sleeping most of the day and grumpy when she is awake so I hope she gets over it soon – like today would be good. Maybe this nap she’s taking right now will be the turning point 🙂
9am nap - She had only been up for an hour and crashed on the floor - poor thing.
We are ready to have our HAPPY BABY back anytime now…
where have you gone smiley girl?

How to keep Rose happy while I get the laundry folded.

An afternoon at the park in Cedar Hills with some cousins…
PJ, Benji and Packer, Pack is mid jump and wearing winter clothes and boots in the blazing heat.
Cali being pampered by all of the older girl cousins.
Rose and Anna playing catch.
My view from where I sat while kids played.
Everyone loves to go UP the slides - Benji is growing up fast.
Out of Control in a good way! Cali can be a crazy fun little girl when she chooses to be.
My Baby has Teeth!
Michelle came over today and showed me that Rose has two little teeth just barely cutting through on the bottom! I kept looking for them and thinking she should be getting them but they were not there and today THEY ARE!
I tried to get a picture but they are barely there and she was not cooperating.
Diego leading the skateboard Races!!
6 cousins in the hot tub - love it - and I love that I took Rose "swimming" just she and I, earlier in the day.
8 Months
This Girl is growing Up! I think I would freeze her right now if I could. She is happy, plays toys, loves to sit up but can’t move yet. She likes to snuggle. She falls asleep in my arms but still transfers to her bed. She sleeps through the night (about 12 hours). Her paci is a quick fix. And she has an adorable laugh and smile.
I love her smiles! and bright Eyes!
Cali left the bag within her reach, we knew she liked bags, now we know she likes cheetos too
Good Morning! I love this age!
trying to be big like her sister
She loves to eat at the table with us! I am done nursing as of this week. Now we are figuring out the bottle/food schedule.
Sunday Dinner
Have I blogged about Sunday Dinners yet?? I love Sundays and the fact that my husband makes dinner every Sunday makes it hands down my favorite day of the week. It gets better – he doesn’t just rip open the Mac and Cheese or make a standard meal – he makes a different, tasty, 3-5 course meal every time! Today we had a delicious roast. I often request beef stroganoff. His Bensagne has become famous around here.
Ben loves variety which is something that I am not good at so this is his chance to make the food that I never do. I think that is one of the main reasons he does Sunday Dinner and he enjoys cooking BUT the main reason… I am ashamed to admit it but… it is what it is… we used to go to Than and Erica’s house for dinner’s on most Sundays. Erica would always make a delicious dinner and then we would have Erica and kids over sometime during the week when Than was out of town and it seemed to be a decent trade off. Well the Hancock’s moved in June and Sunday afternoons would come around and 5pm would come and go, 6pm too and  Ben would realize that I didn’t have a dinner plan. ( I wasn’t used to needing a dinner plan and I was pregnant) So Ben stepped up and announced that he would cook Sunday dinners from now on!! He has not disappointed since 🙂 I’m not sure what next Sunday will bring but I can guaranty that it will be good.
And Rose is 7 months old now! She is almost 16 pounds. She loves to eat.
Is still learning to sit up and roll over.
She LOVES the bumbo and being held. Benji can always make her smile. Cali loves being her other mother.
She has started to whine if mom leaves the room 🙁 She takes a bottle. She sleeps well at night. Takes 2 or 3 naps per day.
Packer likes to give her loves but isn’t quite sure how to interact with her yet. (he is addicted to Plants vs. Zombies right now)
We love her bald head and chubbiness 🙂
meeting the grandparents
Rose got to meet her Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim yesterday and we got together again tonight for a big Family Home Evening!
first picture with paternal grandparents!
she has turned into the slobber queen - maybe that's why my laundry has doubled
our family was teaching all the cousins the song "Father Abraham"
Rose and I before we sat down to blog - now she is falling asleep in my arms, perhaps I will call it a night as well...
family update
Rose: is ready for cereal! she loves to eat.
yummy to my tummy - 5 1/2 months
Cali: is thinking that she is to big for naps – 🙁 – last week she only took one nap. I am not ready for this 27 month old to be awake all day so I am happy to report that she did take a nap yesterday and is taking a nap right now.
to big to fast - she has also started jumping off of the ledge and doing backward somersaults off the couches.
Packer: This guy came in the kitchen a few days ago to tell me: “I stuck my finger in that thingy and it stung it.” I had no idea what he was talking about so we just went on with our day. A little while later we were in the new toy room and he showed me the light switch that didn’t have the cover on that he had stuck his finger in and gotten shocked!
THE STINGY THINGY, I quickly put the covers on!
Benji: This guy went to play at Bradley’s house again and while there he and Bradley went in a closet to play. Well once they were in they couldn’t open the door to get out because the door knob was broken from that side! Benji said that they both got scared and started crying and screaming for help. No one was coming because they were downstairs and everyone else was upstairs. Then they remembered that they could say prayers to ask Heavenly Father to help them. He said that they prayed that Bradley’s mom would hear them and come open the door. He also said that they said the prayers out loud, he said about 13 prayers and Bradley said 15! Well we think they were in there for a good 40 minutes until Bradley’s mom did hear them and let them out! I’m proud of them for their faith!!

Ben: A good way to scare your husband is to clean out from under the bathroom sink and leave the pregnancy test box on top of the garbage. Ben came down a little worried and pale looking that night :).
toy room is painted!! where's the best deal on carpet???
