Bathtub Fun

Rome got this cool boat and bath crayons for giving up his binkies. Really, Grandpa forgot his binky when he put him to bed and then they never came back. It was actually really easy. I was sooo worried for nothing! He still asks for it sometimes when he is upset, but he doesn't even try to steal the baby's binky. Anyway, this was the first time he colored all by himself. I am so proud!

What a cutie

Easter '10

We had planned on going up to PC and spending Easter with my family, but Josh had to work. So, I took the kids and went up by myself. It was really nice to be able to see my Grandma one last time and to have a nice, laid back Easter Sunday with my family.

The Easter Bunny at the egg hunt in Fruita that me missed. It lasted less than 5 minutes.

The Easter egg hunt at Grandma Johnson's care center. (See the eggs behind Rome in the picture? Yea, that's all he got)

Look I found some!

Rome was way into dying eggs. Eventually we gave him a glass of water to 'dye' all of his eggs.

Capri is not a fan of the bunny ears.
I didn't get many pictures, but I have a video of Rome finding eggs. It is so funny because he misses tons of them and keeps forgetting what he is doing to play with cars. What a boy!

March Updates

These are just some random pictures from March. I have way more, but they are still on my camera. Maybe I will get to them sometime.

Capri Blessing

I was so lucky to have my family come down for Capri's Blessing. I had to scramble a little to find her a dress, but finally found one that was alright. You think I would have thought about it sooner, like 5 months ago when we found out it was a girl. Oh well. Clare made her a beautiful bow to go with it. Thanks Clare! It was nice to see my family and they all got to meet Baby Capri!

Baby wake up
Cheese!
Grandpa decided we missed out on St. Patrick's Day and made us green eggs and ham for breakfast. Tasty!

Who Are You?

I was looking at my Blog the other day and I noticed that I had a new follower. I don't have many so it caught my eye and I wondered who it was. I looked at her Blog. I looked at her profile. Nope, don't know her. Weird.

I know a lot of people are worried about who is looking at their stuff. I am not really, but I could see how this would make you want to go private. I do look at who comes to my blog and usually it is just friends or friends of friends. No problem. But I find this really odd. So, Hey Brittany, Who Are You?

Oh wHaT a DaY!

I am usually really happy to have my "spring break" Utah week. It was going to work out so well this year too. We were going to go up for Easter, stay with my family, and then Josh would go back to work and I would stay the rest of the week. It would give me time to see my ailing Grandma, go shopping, see friends AND then I would drive down to Vegas for a College Roommate Reunion Weekend. Ahh.. such Fun! Oh little did I know what would actually happen...

First Josh had to work and couldn't come so he spent Easter alone. Sad.

Second Rome didn't sleep in the car because he was watching CARS and we got in so late on Friday that he didn't go to bed until 9 or 9:30. Ouch.

Third the Poopy day. I was supposed to go out to lunch with my cousin Becky who just had a baby too. She thought he was getting sick so she left him home. Sad. I drove to SLC early and did some shopping, but then had to feed Capri and was late. So, I hurried to the Gateway to meet her. We get there and order food and Capri wakes up and starts crying. She is usually happy and sleeps in the car seat. No, she was stinky and leaking. So I go to the bathroom to clean her up. Lucky I stuck some wipes in the stroller because I was totally out in my purse. Well, she completely missed her diaper and it was everywhere. Yuck! After a wet-wipe bath and some new clothes I go back out and both Becky and Rome are done eating AND Capri is still crying. ugh. So Becky tries to bounce her while I inhale my sandwich and try to keep Rome from jumping out of the high chair. Capri finally goes to sleep and I get her back in the car seat and we head home. I am trying to hurry because she should get hungry again soon and it is about 2 hours late for Rome's nap. He falls asleep in the car so I put him right to bed. He doesn't sleep. I feed Capri and rock her and rock her and finally she goes to sleep. So much for my nap. I eat my fries from lunch as a dinner snack and try to think of what I should feed Rome because it is after 6. I go to get him and he is completely NAKED! yea. Apparently he was poopy so he got undressed, took off his diaper, threw out his blankets and clothes and then peed in his play pen. All I could say was, "WOW" over and over. Lucky I got a snack. I ran Rome a bath and Capri starts screaming. I try to get her in the carrier, but then decide to put her in the bath too. So, I get both of them washed and dressed and THEN my parents come home. They make dinner and help me to wash Rome's bed and rock Capri. I wanted Rome to go to bed on time, but that didn't happen. He goes to bed at 9:30 again. Wow.

Then there is today. I was supposed to have an appointment at 11. I got up and ate. Fed Capri. Fed Rome. Got my brother to distract him so I could shower. I hurried and got everything and everyone in the car and was still 15 min. late. I drive to Heber for my appt. only to find that it was at 10 NOT 11. Ahh phooey! I really wanted that done! So, we go to McDonald's for lunch since it was 11:30. I feed Capri while Rome plays. Then I hurry back to PC to meet my friend Brean and go shopping. I am late again. Rome falls asleep in the car and is OUT while Capri is wide awake. I meet my friend and then call my brother to see if he will hang out at home so Rome can take a nap. He says yes so I hurry home and put Rome in his bed and then wait for Tyler to show up. (oh those teenagers) I try to go shopping, but Capri is now asleep and it is freezing outside. I give up and say goodbye to Brean and try to go to Wal-Mart. Why did I do this now? I don't know really. They don't have any boots, so I buy guys 'ugly' shoes as Josh calls them. It did snow like 3 feet last night and my shoes are not waterproof. Capri is hungry so I go to feed her and she has leaked again. I have 1 diaper left (hence the trip to Wal-Mart) and no wipes. I can't find the bathroom with a changing table and the guy to let me into the dressing rooms is gone so I change her on a bench in the middle of Wal-Mart. Clothes and all. I finally get a dressing room to feed her only to go home and rock her to sleep again. I get a call from my Mom that my Grandma is gone. So, maybe a funeral on Thursday. And maybe no Vegas weekend. Oh, and my trip is only half over.

On the bright side: we saw my Grandma on Saturday and she got to hold Capri(but I didn't get a picture of it, sad), my parents help to feed and play with Rome and rock Capri some of the time, I get to see my friends if only for a minute, I had a great Easter hanging out with my whole family, I got to listen to 1 or 2 talks from Conference uninterrupted, I appreciate the lack of snow in Grand Junction a lot more, I got a shower, I know my Grandma is not in pain anymore, this week has got to get better from here.
