Israel Chillaxing in his boat.....

As you can see he's just chilling outside. This was about 8:00 am so we could get some fresh air before it got boiling hot outside. Its actually his bathtub, but when you take off the top part of material for him to lay in, there is a built in seat perfect for his little bum. As a side note, the song I added is kinda my tribute to being a stay at home mom now. There is less money, but I couldn't be happier.

2 Months!

I've been lucky to have the same doctor throughtout my pregnancy, for delivery, and as Israel's doctor. His first words when he walked in were "Oh my goodness! You look just like your dad." Then he said, "I had to laugh at his charts. I wont say he's fat but big boned...is that another phrase for Samoan?" Israel has gained 6lbs since our dr saw him six weeks ago.

He is 12.lbs 14 oz-- 90 percentile and 22inches 40 percentile. My little Samoan is doing great says the doctor and his mama. He got his shots too :( I couldnt watch, but they did it so fast and he fell asleep soon after his screams. Poor guy. I cant believe he's already 2 months!

WOW- Cutting back on chocolate

Israel shows how I feel about this concept. I know that I can go crazy with chocolate sometimes. Well I was in Sunday School this week and they said that the Word of Wisdom could simply say that anything that can be addicting we shouldn't eat. I know its all about the moderation....and right now my moderation isn't happening and its more of an addiction...a wonderful one. I'm not saying that the WOW is saying no chocolate, but it does talk about eating things in moderation. I think I may also be affecting Israel's diaper....yikes! I needed some motivation, and this could be it. So please be a friend and don't surround yourself with chocolate, I can't always say no. I have to build up my will power first.

Misc. Videos....

I actually have a blog for Aaron that I meant to post these on....it took so long to load them that I will leave them here :) Here's my little guy. He's so much fun.

Playing Soccer with a Baseball

These things are suppose to be about 500 pounds....

I wish I could see a picture of that guy pooring water on Aaron....

Just as I thought, not big enough yet.

At this point I really don't think Aaron will care what ball he is playing with. I was packing somet things for our trip to VA this weekend and I heard this bell sound and it was Israel kicking the baseball. He turned 8 weeks today! I can't believe how much he is already moving around.

Attention! Retiring all Newborn Clothes....

I know we all have our favorite outfits....this will probably be the last time Israel can wear this. I tried on about 10 newborn outfits on him and they are all pretty snug. I put him in 0-3 month outfits and they are much better! He's right around 12 lbs right now. I just noticed my picture of the week (which I need to update) is in the same outfit (which I did say was my favorite). He's 7 weeks old today and I can not believe how big he is now! His Samoan genes are kicking in :)

You wanna fight?

What do we do without them?

I thought my husband's 10 year old tv had finally gone out. The sound was going out on on station yesterday and today it wouldn't turn on. I tried every battery and even those that seemed to be working in something else would not work in the remote to turn the tv on. The problem is that the power button has been missing since we've been married. Today I took a wood skewer (didn't want to electrocute myself) and managed to put it in the missing power button hole and turn the tv on. So....it was the remote and not the tv. I hollered to my sister that the tv was working. I left and went to church, leaving my sister behind. When I came home, my sister and I had a cute conversation.

Me: What are you watching?

Sister: I don't know, the tv won't change channels.

Me: The remote doesn't work.

Sister: Yeah, the channels don't either.

Me: Did you try changing them on the tv?

Sister: Oh, I didn't think of that....

Good thing for remotes!
