Race:
Our little Racey goose is 1 month old! He has been so fun for me. I have enjoyed him SOOO much. He is still a dream baby, and has become so smiley! His whole face changes when he smiles, and let me tell you it is CUTE! His brothers adore him, and constantly maul him. Oh well, I guess, at least they love him :) Holden tends to be a little to over bearing for Race's comfort (all in love=) But Knox I dare say is Races favorite. He smiles the most for Knox, and I. He is so mature and ahead for his age. He can already role, lift himself, and spends time in his bumbo chair. He hates his bed and has claimed ours as his. He is so quite and good, but when he wants something, either his binky or a bum change he flips out, and acts like he is dying, he's very dramatic! I love to hear him cry, he rarely does it, and I think he has a cute cry. I wouldn't like it if I knew he were hurting or something though. He finally is getting to go out, and he loves being outside. He loves showering and bathing. He has a checkup Friday, so Ill update this post with that info when I get it!
Holden:
He is so smart. He is working on reading, and almost has got it down. He loves Starwars. He goes through major obsessions with what ever he's in to. He loves planning things, making things, and building things. He is very creative, and thoughtful. He would give anyone anything he owns. He is constantly packing things even his new toys and money in his backpack to give to someone at school, or he wants to mail his cousins money he earned. I get on average 5-100 things from him a day, homemade crafts, his toys, money, even my own things! He on a daily basis comes up with things he wants to sell on the street or in our apartment complex. Generally useless things like salt he gathered from the sidewalk, or things he cut out of magazines. But he begs me to let him sell them. And usually for a hefty price 10-100 bucks! This is a daily argument for us. BUT the reason he wants to make money, is never for himself. He wants to buy things for people, he once told me he wanted to earn money to give to me so I could buy myself things, and he wanted me to be able to have whatever I wanted...sweet right??? He also wont let me carry anything to our apartment (we live on the third floor) We were walking up one day and he wouldn't let me carry any groceries up, and I kept saying I could help, and he says "mom, don't you know why I wont let you carry things up?? Its because I love you mommy." .....whoever marries him will be lucky. He did learn that from his daddy though =)
Knox:
This kid has some spunk! He gets away with murder because of it to. He is so funny. He is very honest and will tell you anything, and at times seams heartless because of that. He is very self motivated when HE decides to be. But doesn't care to do what anybody wants him to. He is a very confident little boy. He is so athletic, and strong. He plays his little heart out! Holden always needed a form of entertainment. Knox finds his own. He is constantly playing by himself with a sword, guns, or whatever, fighting an imaginary person. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and in the creepiest voice, with a smile on his face he says "Weaponssssss!" He loves primary, and is always singing songs. It is very cute. He is very accident prone and right now has two places on his face/head super glued, bruises, cuts, and splits all over him! It makes me crazy, and I always worry about him. He has phobia of having a clean bum bum, gross I know. So after he goes to the bathroom he has to come around to everyone in the family and get the family approval that YES Knox, your bum is clean!! haha! It is as gross as it sounds. I miss my alone time with him, but am thankful for that time I did have with him.
Rye and I:
Rye has been so busy with school. He has 44 credits right now. He really likes school but hates the time it takes. He has been getting up at 4 am on the weekdays and home anywhere form 6:30 pm to 10 @ night. And the weekends he is at work all day.....it's been awful for both of us!! He also is in the Elders quorum presidency so that take up all his free time, that he doesn't have anyway, but he loves elders quorum. We cant wait to have our family life back though. I have just been taking care of the kids. I miss adult interaction a lot, and having a husband! Since Race is so little, I cant take him to a lot of places, so I've had to get up at five to get to go to the gym, poor Rye goes at 4am so I can go. Between that and up a lot of the night with the baby, Rye and I are always tired and worn out......that's kinda our life right now =) Sam and Rikki update your dang blogs, or Im going to hunt you down and kill you both....I will this weekend when I see you =)
