So this post is all about me today. Sorry, no pictures or anything special.

I'm officially signed up to run the Wasatch Back! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a relay race from Logan to Park City. 188 miles! You start Friday morning and run nonstop until Saturday afternoon. There are 12 people on my team and I am the 12th runner which means I will be the finisher! WooHoo! I am so extremely nervous! I ran my first 5K a couple weeks ago and I had horrible anxiety for at least a week before the race. And this one is longer and harder. A friend of mine is going to help me train but I only have about a month to do it. (Most people start training in February!) I'm also trying to figure out my eating habits. I don't really know what to eat before running or when in order to make myself feel really good and energized. From what I have read, it's completely opposite from what I am used to eating. Lately I have been on a low carb, high protein diet trying to lose my baby weight. (which I have successfully done :D ). I've been told though that you want to do the opposite which makes me kind of nervous. I don't want to gain all my weight back that I've worked so hard to lose!

I've also been off sugar for 3 weeks now! Brandon and I made another bet that I couldn't go without desserts, candy, and chocolate for a year. The first couple weeks were pretty tough. It's usually not so bad now though. I really love the fact that I don't ever go to bed with guilt about what I ate! Sometimes I eat a little too much and that sucks but at least I don't have all that refined sugar in my system that I have to burn off. And it has helped me get over the hump that I have been on for the last month or so. I've lost about 7 pounds since April 19th! (That shows how much I was eating before lol.)

Well that's about it, I guess I better get running!

Parley's Blessing Day

Parley was blessed on March 7th. My camera is dying on me. It will only take one or two pictures and then it freezes up. So I borrowed my dad's camera to take some pics of the big day and before I could get the pictures downloaded onto my computer I had to give it back. (My dad's a little attached to his electronics =] ) So thank you to my wonderful Mother-in-law who e-mailed me these cute pictures! I finally figured out how to put them on my blog. Well I guess I should say I finally sat down to figure out how to put them on my blog haha!So here's my handsome boy in his white tux! My Father-in-law made that little blanket just for his blessing :) Thanks Dad!
Parley and Daddy! Brandon gave him such a wonderful blessing! I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband! We love him so much!
Parley and Mommy. I always forget to take a picture of me with them. I wish I had more pictures of me with my kids!
And here's our little family! Yay! I love it so much! My family makes me so incredibly happy. I can't imagine what my life would be like without them. I would do anything for each and every one of them! And I am so happy we are an eternal family!

Potty Training

We ran out of diapers on Tuesday so I told Brandon I had to go to Sam's Club to buy more. When I came home from the gym, Brandon was installing our little toilet. (We have this miniature toilet that we bought when we were potty training Jordan because she would only go #2 in the toilet when she was at church. We decided it was because they had a kid toilet so we bought one to try it out and it worked perfectly!) "So I guess today is the big day huh?" I said to him. "Yup." And so it began.

Tegan has reacted very differently than my other two. She is the same age as they were when we started them but she doesn't care too much. She doesn't tell us when she needs to go and is perfectly fine with going in her pants. But she also doesn't mind if you put her on the toilet. So you just have to make sure to do it before it starts flowing. I figured she was ready because she absolutely hated me changing her diaper and would throw a fit every time I tried. And she is my only one that would go hide when she had to go #2.

I know this is a long process. At least it was for my others. We don't go anywhere. (Not that we really did before with the new baby and all.) And we spend lots of time on the potty. Which, as you can see, is quite versatile =D (She hasn't gone #2 since day one so we are fine with letting her camp out here.)
Hopefully she will start to want to relieve herself in the toilet cause I'll tell you what, it is not easy taking a toddler to the bathroom every 20 minutes and feeding a baby every hour!

Call Me Crazy

Alright, so all I've been able to think about the last couple of weeks is having another baby! No, I don't want one right now but once you finally decide to have another baby, it usually takes a month or so to get pregnant (at least) and then you have to wait the 9 months. I don't know if it's because I feel so great right now or because I think I've finally caught on to the whole mommy thing that adding another one doesn't seem too bad? I just want to getting the other one started you know? It's been so much fun having Parley! And I really don't even feel like I had a baby 4 weeks ago! Definite thumbs up on the ab exercises during pregnancy too cause although I gained a little more with this one than with Tegan, my stomach is a whole lot tighter than it was after having her. Everything has just gone so perfectly, I guess I must be in lala land or something haha! So besides the fact that I feel like my house is plenty big for a couple more, or that I really can't wait to see what another baby would look like, I really did want to have all my kids by the time I was 30. That only gives me 3 more years! I know what you're all thinking....if I get pregnant this year I would have the baby in 2011 which would ruin my even year pattern. Well believe it or not, I'm totally willing to do that! I know, crazy! And I'm not even on any happy pills! =O

Well don't worry, Brandon's not on board. He wants to wait till all the debt is paid off. (which won't be anytime soon.) But I'll definitely be good to go whenever he changes his mind! =D

Tegan's #2!

My baby girl turned 2 on the 24th! I can't believe how old she is....She still seems so little to me. She has always been very independent but is finally starting to say a lot more words. It can be tough sometimes to get a smile out of her especially since she's not really ticklish. Which has been a big frustration for Brandon since he loves to tickle the kids! But she is very expressive and makes the silliest faces! :)

I had to get this picture in here cause I thought it was so funny....Brandon is trying to show her how to blow out her candles haha! And of course she just stands there and stares at it....so Tegan

Here's her pile of presents. We weren't able to get the traditional balloons because her birthday was on Sunday and Brandon worked till 5;30 AM! Which was unexpected of course, he is on call on Saturdays. So luckily my parents brought over a few, cause a birthday just wouldn't be the same without balloons, right?
She got some bath toys and bubble bath
a book and some cute clothes from 'white' Nana and Papa
Here's one of them.... My father-in-law finds the cutest shirts haha!
She got the Dr. Seuss Foot Book with the matching character from 'brown' Nana and Papa, so cute! I love Dr. Seuss!

She also got a comforter for her bed (finally :) )
And a dress up that's only a tad too big :)
She was definitely happy to see her new baby! :)
Such a good mommy! (and so serious :[ )
Happy Birthday Teeger Weegers! We love you!

Bunch of Sillys!!

With Brandon's new job he gets to be home during the day sometimes which is super fun for the kids. They come up with the silliest ways to entertain themselves though haha!

Here are a couple pictures of my 4 burritos! (They all wanted to be wrapped up like Parley) Then of course they had to have a contest to see who could get out of their "burrito" the fastest (and Brandon can wrap them up pretty darn tight!)

Since having Parley, Brandon and I watch movies together quite often since I'm up nursing a lot anyway. Well, this is what we found the other night as we finished our movie and were about to head upstairs to bed....
And here is Cinderella, Batman/Spiderman, and the Clown :)

They LOVE to dress up!

First Week With 4

The past week has sure had it's crazy time. I think the hardest thing to get done is baths. Parley doesn't want to be set down for longer than 5 minutes which makes it very difficult to bathe 3 kids and get them dressed. I'm so lucky to have such good kids though. For the most part they keep each other entertained quite well. Tegan bugs Jordan and Brigham sometimes but they do pretty good with including her.

I'm feeling great, can't wait to go back to the gym. I know that will make me feel even better. We'll have to see when that will happen though because I can't take Parley to the kids club until he is 6 months old so I have to find someone to watch him. Any takers??

I also have to say how appreciative I am of all the people who have brought me dinners! I didn't have to make dinner for like a whole week! It was awesome and they were all soo good!

So yes, we have definitely enjoyed having him home and I REALLY enjoy not being pregnant anymore. I am feeling quite a bit of cabin fever though. I have gotten out for a couple quick trips to Wal-Mart which is awesome, but I can't wait till Parley's a little older and I can take him out more.

My sister Stephanie came over with her baby Isabelle who is 2 1/2 months older than Parley! We had to take some pictures to compare their size. Pretty funny =]

And Parley had his first bath which he absolutely loved! Until I started washing him that is....then he decided he was done.
I guess I'm not doing a very good job of entertaining my kids....this is what happens when they get bored..
One thing is for sure though, Brigham sure loves his baby brother. For family night we talked about using kind words and making people happy and I used the analogy of Brigham knocking Parley down on accident. I asked him what he would say and he got a huge grin on his face and said he would tell him to watch out, haha! Then he would help him up of course :)
I don't know why baths make babies so tired but he was passed out like that whole day! I didn't even have him wrapped in a blanket most of the time!
