I really want....

I really, REALLY want a baby girl.....Is that sad? I Love babies in general, but you see, I only have boys. So naturally I really really want a baby girl!! Two days I ago, I had a IUD (actually IUC) put in. And it was really bitter sweet. Why?? Cuz, when you get pregnant, you have a chance of getting a GIRL!

Is it sad that....

I already have her name picked.

Her nick name. Looks, bedding, shoes, leggings. The tiny little flower she will wear in her hair the day she is born.

Her clothes, her Room, what I am going to start her on collecting (vintage raggedy ann stuff, cute right?!)

I constantly have an eye out for that stuff!

And most of all her accessories!! I have learned how to make them all!! .....I just need someone to make them for. =( I love hair bands! flowers, bows, hats...Love, love love.

(I bought this....and the hat in the first picture....how sad is that)

I know I will get her some day!! Rye is worried for that day though, he thinks I will forget about him and our baby boys. If he had his choice we would have all boys. With how much he babies his baby boys, our girls are going to be so spoiled...

Some day, right?

Fun Stuff!

Well, we were able to take a fun little trip out to the ranch yesterday! It was short, but it was nice to get away. Russ had some guys out there helping him with some cows, and it was nice to see them to.. We did some family bonding and took a FUN ride up in the mountains, and surprisingly it wasn't even cold...

I have been able to hack some bodies wireless Internet sometimes lately! haha! and so when I can I have been blogging and trying to keep up on all of you...ARE YOU SO PROUD OF ME!! I have gone 7 months with no Tv or Internet (except for my blackberry) Rye always tells me to just call and get it all hooked up, I don't know why I don't??? I think it makes me not be a lazy bumb....

New Fitzy News::

Knox finally is cutting a tooth! He took four steps, and he says momma, dada, no no (while shaking his head) and drives cars around like Holden.

I bought my own hair thinning shears off Amazon.com for four bucks, and I am so thrilled!! And no I didn't have a clue how to do it, and I love the results....my hair is just so thick!!!

Yesterday my little brother took first at the Rocky Mountain rumble! (HUGE accomplishment) I think only like two guys from Enterprise have ever done that.

I really dislike ladies with dog babies.....(kinda off subject, haha) It just drives me nuts though! You should never treat a dog better then a human, ever....especially cute little baby humans....I have just had a few run'ins lately with this matter! haha!

That's the latest and the greatest!!

Here are some fun pictures from yesterday. (the top one was so cute!! I had to get a picture of that!)

They are getting so cute together...........YES, Holden is having the biggest tantrum I had ever seen him have!! He was pissed because we left him over by the mud, and Rye was throwing snow balls at him.....weirdo.

Update on my BoYs..

I feel like lately in my blogging I have been just saying how wonderful and perfect my kids and motherhood life is......So, I thought maybe I should post some of the hard truths.

Holden-

He has been saying "bad words" like stupid, and darnit, and "be nice mom" , "Your a BAD boy mom", " I have had it mom!" "I am going to burn this house down with some fireworks mom"
....and so on!!
(he thinks fireworks means HOT, like if he has hot food in his mouth, he says he has got "Fireworks")

The crazy thing is, he never really says these things mean, he usually is just talking, and sometimes even saying them in a creepy sweet voice.....
Ya, I don't really get him!

Pretty much whenever I bath him he poos in the bathtub...

He is learning to lie, and tell HUGE stories! (it's actually really funny)

He sings himself to sleep.

Yesterday, All I wanted was to buy some pants at Maurice's. Holden was pushing Knox around the store in his stroller like a chicken with his head cut off, and ran right into a overloaded rack of clothes and the whole things fell right on top of him and Knox! (so embarrassing) He started crying and freaking out saying, " I am soooo mad! mom, I so scared of those princess dresses, I am so scared of those dumb princess dresses!!!!"

Whenever he poops, he tries to get it out of his diaper himself......with his hands

I still lOVE him though.

Knox-

He luckily cant do to much damage yet! He is so stubborn and demanding though!

He yells and throws tantrums like I have never seen.

He constantly is following me around whining.

He still loves to sing (which is so cute)

I keep thinking he is just so cranky because he is teething, but still no teeth, and no sign of any coming in...He will probably be walking before he gets any.

We just wanted to see if he would make a cute girl....He did =) ------This is how we potty train (Aunt Noah (bless her heart) taught him the underwear on the head thing.

A few nights ago, Rye was looking at me all creepy like, and then asked if he could braid my hair...?....He is really good at it hu! And let me add this little diddy took him over five minutes!

New Year

Holden, rye, and Knox Christmas morning! - Knox and Holden with Santa, at our apartment Christmas party. (Below) Holden helping bath the dirty boy! and Holden and Knox with grandma Debbie and grandpa

Man, what a crazy year this has been....Words can not even describe. Four moves, three states, a new baby, and a lot of growing up. life's good tho...Christmas was wonderful, we were able to go home and share it with those we love.....
I don't know about anybody else, but it felt different this time (the holiday season) I think this year has been hard for a lot of people, trialing, but I think rewarding. But this whole holiday season I have felt so humbled and been so emotional.....
I have been just trying to be a "little better" at everything, especially loving. I have realized if you just love your kids, spouse, family, the lord, totally the right way, everything else will work out....So lame, but my thoughts.

New Years resolutions:

1- try a little harder to be a little better (at everything)

2- Run the marathon

3- have family home evening

4- Take the plastic sealers completely off containers (such as sour cream, yogurt, and cottage cheese) when I open them
(That's for Rye!)

Happy New Year!!!

All my Christmas pictures are on my moms camera =( But here are a few I had of the holiday!

Oh, The places Knox goes...

Knox usually likes to spend his spare time.........in the Toilet (nastyness) or he will literally just fling his body over into the bathtub, and chill in there.......( I lock bathroom doors now! scary!)

....anywhere he can manage to feel like he his exploring, and keep in mind the little shelf he is in was filled with Holdens books, he threw them all out and hopped in!! .......he is my little messy monster.....No Joke . Anything he can dump out he goes in that direction.

For some reason he always thinks it's great to go between the chairs?? I didn't get a picture of his escape rout tho! He just flings his body over the rod and flips over! ......Knox also loves to try to climb into the fridge!! And he can open it all by himself! He is my little piggly wiggly......No joke! He Loves the fridge!

He Also lOVES, the trash can, dish washer, under beds, and pretty much anywhere he can manage to go..

I Found him even up in here more then once, literally up on the top of all these folders, screaming because he was stuck!......And of course he loves to dig in the trash!!

When I was pregnant with him I did a lot of research on ways to help develop a babies brain to their greatest advantage...I went all out Fish Amino acids, the herbal stuff and oils....But pretty much I regret that! HAHA!! This kid is so smart and advanced it is insane! He already understands patterns and instructions, playing and games, he catches on to things so fast! He already races with Holden. ....Poor Holden, Knox's biggest mission in life is to sabotage everything Holden does!! Holden is so nice and deals with it so good, but More than once I have caught Holden dragging Knox down the hall screaming in frustration, while Knox is just giggling!.. Also Knoxer Loves Rye so much! He is definitely his daddies boy. Of course Rye loves him right back.

All I gotta say is I'm in big trouble!

Botherly Love....

These two little boys Love each other so much.... They have the sweetest little bond.

Yesterday: Knox has been a MONSTER! and he had gotten into our bathroom and was heading in the toilet...Rye (being so frustrated with him) grabbed him and started pretend spanking him! Just to make a point that Knox was making us Crazy! .....HUGE mistake. I looked at Holden and his face went white, He started screaming!...you know how your kids have two cries. The everyday cry, and then there's the cry that sends you running to them...He used that one. He just started freaking out! "That's MY BABY!!! MY baby!!! " And Rye and I just looked at each other like, What is happening?? haha! All I know is that kid grabbed Knox and hugged and held onto him and just cried his little heart out, Knox just giggled and smiled.....

I got all teary, I know they have known each other for a long time.

.

Our life these days..

We really have had a pretty good life lately! Rye and I both have certain things that make us happy, and we are so lucky to be able to have those things in our lives right now...Family dirt road drives, working, family horse rides, camp outs, and just being so far from the rest of the world! It is so fun to get to give our kids the same memories and opportunities we had when we were little! were so happy to live so close to Rye's dads ranch (two hours) Rye has had so much fun helping his dad, I can tell it makes him so happy, so even tho It is so hard to share him haha! I let him go! Holden is in pure Heaven! He gets to have grandpa Russ all to himself (and he loves him) Aunt Karen, and uncle Dave (who he also LOVES) and everyone else out there! We have gone out a few times, all the pictures are from random trips. I posted so many!


^ this is one tough little boy!! he didn't even cry... (BELOW) All these guys are so sweet to Holden, they always have him so convinced he is doing all the work!! He was sure he loaded all the cows by himself!

Two little cuties in the bunk house!

You cant tell but it was FREEZING this trip!!! it even snowed!

I have spent a lot of time chilling in the bunkhouse with Knoxer, and so Rye took us on a family ride! and YES I rode with him in a back pack! talk about achy back afterwords!!
ABOUT KNOX!-

He crawls!! He can just crews around to! He can climb up the couch to! He is so strong and coordinated! He loves mommy, and actually loves daddy probably as much. He is a sweetheart, but is very demanding, and well reserved. He is so strong, I already cant change his diaper most of time without Ryes help. He loves to laugh and giggle. I think his smile is the most PERFECT thing in the world......one of the most favorite things in my life right now is rocking him. Rye's parents gave me a rocking chair for Christmas when Holden was a baby, and I remember Russel writing me a letter saying to Cherish every moment I have in that chair.....and I truly do. My kids make me so happy........

ABOUT Holden!-
He is so out of control! He has such a strong personality!
Funny Holden Quotes and stories:
Grandpa Russ : " Holden your mommas a good girl!" Holden: " No...my Mommy's a PRINCESS!!"
Holden: "mom MOO MOO, I'm a cow, I drink cow milk! And Knox He is a ..........He is a???....A BOOB! Cuz he drinks boob milk huh!"

At the Halloween party for the town the newspaper lady wanted a picture of him and then asked him what his name was and he said " I'm Holden WOODS...Cowboy Woody, Fizwaer! and Hoggie!"

Pumpkins are Pine cones, Hot is cold, up is down, he has anything with an opposite wrong! He Recently made best buddies with a homeless lady at the library (katherine!) She loves him, and and her and him just laugh (so loud!) and have such a good time at the library! She gives him pretty much anything she can offer him....it's sweet.

We love these to both so much!

Trick or Treat'en

* Cowboy Hogie*
&
Knox the friendly lion! (hehe..such a cute little lion)

We had a pretty good Halloween! The kids were able to dress up more than once that week for different parties and stuff, but they didn't actually dress up on Halloween. I hate when it lands on a Sunday, especially when you don't live in utah! luckily they were able to go to trunk or treats and stuff! Holden was a cowboy, and Knox was a lion! kinda lame, but they both looked pretty cute!
