Remember Jungle Jims?

Who knew that Jungle Jims was still up and running after 20+ years? Wendy and I bought all day passes for 5 bucks on a KSL deal. We decided to use ours on Friday since Jordan had the day off. FAMILY FUN DAY! We were there for 3 hours that morning then went back later that night with everyone else. I remember going to Jungle Jims when I was little and thinking it was the greatest place ever. I remembered specific rides and totally had flash backs while waching Hendrix ride them.

Hendrix is going through a phase where he hates smiling for the camera so I get this interesting smile.

Cute Aunt Annie came to ghetto Jungle Jims with us. She's so cute with the boys.

Grandpa Lindsi came over for a little bit after he got off work.

SWINGS!

They're such good buddies. We love it when Marcus comes to town.

The airplanes were Hendrix's favorate ride. He loved that he was in control of the plane going up or down. I think Marcus liked this ride best too.

Jeep safari ride!

Oh my word I love that boy!

-My camera battery died right when Bentley got there so I didn't get any pictures of him. I'll just steal some from Wendy when she posts them.

Daily blogging catch up.

My daily blogging didn't really happen this weekend since we had so much going on with the wedding and such. Jordan some how manages to claim the computer every night to work on his little side projects so that doesn't help my daily blogging goal either. Not to mention Shark Week on Discovery channel consuming my late night "free time." Why do I love shark week so much? It only makes me more terrified to get in the ocean. So here I am, catching up.

Thursday was one of those "hard" days that you just kind of want to forget about. I remember laying in bed thinking, "What is something positive that I can blog about/remember from this day?" Hendrix was in a really weird mood all day and pretty much drove me to the nutty house. We did have fun making some cookies together though. He likes to sit on the table and dump all of the ingredients into the bowl. He knows not to touch the eggs or the batter, he's so smart!

Friday was a fun day! I bought some passes to Jungle Jims from a KSL deal and we decided to go since Jordan had the day off. BEST $5.00 I HAVE EVER SPENT! The pass was good for the entire day we so went for 3 hours that morning then again that evening with the Morales clan, Wendy & Bentley and Annie. Hendrix had the time of his life and talks about it everyday. I'll post some pictures later.

On Saturday my only brother got married. It was a long, hot day but was filled with wonderful moments and great memories. It was really special to be in the temple with my brother and witness him being sealed for all eternity to cute Sarah. I will not forget the way he looked at her after the sealer said, "you are now husband and wife, sealed for time and all eternity." I love him so much! There will be a longer post with pictures coming soon.

Sunday. I woke up to Hendrix in my face talking about going to Jungle Jims and riding all of the rides again. WHAT? I was so tired from the night before that I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or going crazy. We had a nice, quiet day together then went to Cody and Wendy's house for a little icecream party. It was so nice outside, I could have stayed out there all night. I filled my belly with a delicious peanut butter oreo shake. YUM!

More blogging

I came to the conclusion that I need to start blogging more, every day in fact. I need to remember those tiny moments that are so wonderful for that split second in time but easily forgotten because the rest of the day carries on and so do we all. My babies are growing fast, too fast and I feel like Jordan and I keep saying, "Remember when Hendrix used to do this? Remember when Hendrix was first learning how to talk and he said his R's like this?" I refuse to forget those little moments, because the clock continues to tick and life, their little lives, are flying right before my eyes.
So here we go! This first post will be a bit more lengthy as I try to remember what has happened in the last few days/weeks.

On Monday, Jordan told me that my eyes looked extra sparkly. I love him.

 One of my favorite moments that happens daily around here is when I go into Remmi's bedroom first thing in the morning. As soon as she catches my eye she gets the biggest smile on her face and coo's for me.

The other day I was pumping and Hendrix said to me, "Momma, you feed me with your nipple when I was a baby?" I chuckled a bit and said "Yeah buddy, I did." His reply was, "Sanks (thanks) Momma, you're a good boy (with a pat on the leg)." What a hilarious/precious moment. .

Jordan told me I looked really pretty yesterday. It made me smile and feel a little bit better about myself since I've been down about the rest of this baby weight that seems to be sitting right around my mid-section. Blurg.

Today I went upstairs to get Remmi out of her swing because she started to fuss. I couldn't help but stare at her round little face and watch her fight sleep and try to wake up. Her eyes kept rolling back into her head as she smiled, frowned, whimpered, smiled again, furled her brow, half smiled and so on. I couldn't believe how many different faces she made in a matter of seconds.

Hendrix and I built a fort together. I feel that little things like that bring us closer together. He gets excited so easily.

We went and got snow cones tonight since Hendrix has been asking me for days to go get one. Hendrix wanted a yellow one (banana) and Jordan shared his sour pink one with me. We sat on a bench as the sun was going down and hung out for 20 minutes or so. The only thing I love abour summer are the warm nights.

I had all of my family over Saturday night for dinner to celebrate my Mom's birthday. I love it when the whole family gets together. It was really hot in my house so we hung out in the front yard for a little while. The boys (big boys) thoroughly enjoyed trying to kill all of the wasps that have taken over our porch. Pretty hilarious to watch if you ask me.

I took Hendrix to see his new preschool today. He was so excietd to get his back pack and meet his teacher. He loved playing with the toys and didn't want to leave. I can't believe he's getting so old. He asks me everyday (seriously, everyday) if it's his birthday yet. I try to ignore the fact that he's going to be FOUR in a few months.

Silly Hendrix

OMG! Hendrix has been saying the most hilarious things lately so I thought I would hurry and write down the things I can remember.

Back story- We introduced Hendrix to Toy Story a couple of months ago and he's pretty much been obsessed with it. He quotes lines from the movie all day long and we seriously pee our pants everytime. He even runs around the room pretending to fly like Buzz. Some of the hilarious quotes he's said recently are:

"You wanna a piece of me?"
"RARRRRRRRR! Were you scared?"
(While hitting his chest) "Buzz, buzz, buzzzz light year to the rescue!"
"To infinity... and beyond!"
While looking at his poop in the toilet, "Somebody's poisened the water hole!"

-Jordan asked Hendrix a question while he was "reading" a book and Hendrix said, "I don't hear you."

-Hendrix tells me (with an attitude) at least 10 times everyday, "It's fine, OKAY???"

-Today I was nursing Remmi and Hendrix lifted up his shirt, looked at both of his nipples and said, "Huh. I can feed her too."

-J- "We need to take your clothes off outside because they're full of dirt."
H- "Is this outside?" (In the garage)
J- "Yeah."
H- "No, this is inside the garage you little silly."

Me- "Hendrix, is your banana muffin good."
H- "Yeah but there are lot's of little black snakes in my muffin."


While laying in bed with us one night (and wearing his favorite glow in the dark star jammies) Hendrix says:
"Momma, did you put these stars on my jammies?"
Me-" No buddy, the store did." (I was too tired for a better explanation.)
H- "Oh. Thanks store."

2 Months!

Happy 2 months (yesterday) to my happy baby girl! I can't believe you're already 2 months old, yikes! I feel like your little life is flying right by and I can't snuggle you enough, kiss you enough, smell your baby breathe enough and squeeze those chunky legs enough before you grow up.

You are such a little angel baby Remmi! You only cry when you're hungry, poopy or tired. You get up once (sometimes twice) in the middle of the night and that's about it! THANK YOU!

You just started smiling back at us about a week ago and it's the cutest thing I have ever seen. You're dimples make my heart melt and I know it's just going to get worse... esepecially for your daddy. You will probably be able to get just about anything you want from him if you just flash those dimples. He's a sucker!

Your big brother LOVES you to pieces and also can't get enough of you. He's always there when you wake up in the morning, 1 inch from your little face saying, "Hi baby grill!" I'm certain he'll be the same way in 15 years, overly protective and annoying. He's a good older brother though.

All of your 0-3 month clothes are getting to short on your arms and legs so I've been buying 3-6 months now. I bet you're going to be taller than me one day. I'm not sure how much you weigh but I would guess 11 pounds or so. Those cheeks and thighs are getting so chunky and delicious.

We love you so much Remmi!

 Such a big girl sitting in the BUMBO!

 Aunt Julie gave you this outfit, it's so adorable! There are matching shoes but you still have little midget feet and they don't fit yet. Thanks Aunt Julie!

You hate your bows but I make you wear them for pictures and church. Sorry!

Random Pics

For the 4th of July with pretty much hung around the house all day and relaxed. Our neighborhood had a pancake breakfast in the morning and a tiny parade where the kids rode their bikes around the neighborhood. Later the night we had a BBQ with the neighbors and watched fireworks from our backyard. We're awesome like that.

 Look how patriotic everyone is!

 Just a snap shot of little Remmi. Those dimples make my heart melt everytime she smiles.

 Got some new highlights in my hair... LOVE them!

Remmi hangin out in her own camping chair. She's high maintenance already.

Remmi's Blessing Day

We blessed Remmi on July 1st 2012. It was a beautiful day with lot's of family and friends in attendance. Remmi was an angel the entire day and didn't seem to mind being passed from person to person. Jordan told me that during the blessing she had her hands sticking straight out and above her head like she always does. lol. Jordan gave her the sweetest blessing, I'm so thankful for him and that he has stayed worthy to hold the priesthood and bless our babies. I managed to choke out some sort of testimony during the meeting but pretty much cried the entire time and lost every train of thought that I had previously. Oh the joys of being hormonal.

We had a little celebration at our house after sacrament meeting. I managed to get a picture of everyone who was there! Thank you to everyone who came and supported us yesterday and to those who brought delicious food! YUM! What an amazing day.

Side Note: I was able to bless Remmi in the dress that I was blessed in 26 years ago! It was so fun to get her ready that morning and picture my Mom doing the same thing so long ago.
