Baby Hungry!!

The past few weeks I have been dying for a baby it is all I can think about. I don't know if I should take this as a sign to start trying again, or if I am just secretly jealous that both my sisters are having sweet little babies any time soon. It is really driving me crazy and I am truly considering getting my IUD removed so we can start trying for baby number three. I also wonder if another reason for this crazy thought is the fact that I don't really have a baby anymore she doesn't want anything to do with her mommy. I just really miss the whole newborn experience even the no sleep part. One of my most favorite things in the world is getting up in the middle of the night and having those quiet special bonding moments with your sweet baby. I guess all I can do is pray about it and make sure I am not acting on selfish reasons. Maybe soon there will be some good news from the Rogers Clan, we will see..... Here are some sweet pictures of my precious newborn babies....

Spring Time Fun!!!



Yesterday was an awesome day!!! I set up the little swimming pool and they had a blast. We invited Lincoln my little nephew over and the three kids swam and ran through the sprinkler for two hours. When we finally came inside I couldn't believe how tan my girls where already. I am so jealous of their pretty tan skin. It was fun to finally be able to let my girls get out of the house for a while, they really needed it.

















I am also adding another post to this one.. My little baby has seriously grown up over night. It makes me really sad, but it has been really fun the past few weeks watching her develop this huge personality and ATTITUDE!!! She has always been so laid back and chill, and now she knows what she wants and she wants it NOW. Here are some cute pictures of her playing with her big girl stroller. She thinks she is such a MOMMY!!!

Play Time

I am excited to announce that for about the past two weeks my girls have finally decided they like each other. They have been playing so good together. Today they built a little bed and they where both laying down pretending they where asleep. Then they would get up run down the hall and run back and fall back to sleep. It is really such a nice break not to have to entertain Bentlee all day. I am so glad her little sister is finally big enough to obey her commands.... Here are a few pictures of them playing. Please don't judge me on how they look. We have all been so sick, so let just say the girls hair has been neglected big time...

Family Fun!!

Yesterday me, Rikki, Austin, Darbye and my mom decided to get tubes and go float down the Virgin River. I have lived in Saint George for eight years now and have never even thought about doing this. Man was I missing out, it seriously was one of the funnest things I have ever done. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I think Rikki got stuck in every bush along the river. It was even a little scary at times, which made it even more fun. And the biggest bonus of all was getting a great work out. We had to paddle the whole time to avoid rocks, logs and bushes. I love my awesome family and I appreciate you guys driving down here yesterday to come and play with me.

Mission Call

My little brother Austin got his mission call yesterday. I am so proud of him and love him so much. He is going to the California, Roseville mission. I had a hard time not being disappointed, because you always want them to go out of state and somewhere exotic. But my mature and awesome brother opened his call and there wasn't one ounce of disappointment on his face. He knows that is where god wants him to be.

Now onto one of the funniest things that has ever happened in my life. We pulled the best prank ever on him. My husband made a fake mission call yesterday. This call had everything. Jamie has his old mission call so he copied everything and stuck it in Austins fake one. It was perfect it even had a stamp on it and the church seal. So with everyone's eyes on Austin he opens it up and starts reading, he gets to the part where it states you will serve in the and he pauses for like thirty seconds, and says, "you will never guess where I am going." By now the three of us that know whats going on are laughing so hard and the other ten people that have no idea are screaming where where. So Austin keeps reading and you have been called to serve in the Las Vegas Nevada mission for thirty six months. You will spend ten weeks in the MTC due to the fact that you will be learning Arabic. This is a special mission because you will be serving for twelve months longer than most missionaries. You will be entering gods most vile places, Casinos and trailer parks. He finally throws it down and says, "You guys are freakin messing with me." I have never laughed so hard in my life. It took him about ten minutes before he would even open the real one. Best prank ever.

And even though he thought he was going to Vegas he was still excited. That is why I love my little brother so much. He is a great kid and even though I will miss him so much. He will be a wonderful missionary.

Growing up so fast...

I wanted to post these pictures of Bentlee and Tatum. They are getting so big so fast. For the first time yesterday I pulled only half of Bentlee's hair up. I have no idea why this is the first time I have done this, but in my opinion at least on her I thought it was a more mature look. I think she looks like a four year old with this hair do instead of my sweet little two year old. What do you guys think? Also, for some reason she is trying out this new awkward smile. Hopefully she will grow out of it soon.







These next three pictures I just added because I thought they were so cute!! I really can't believe how big my little Tater Tot is getting..

Bentlee's first Party



So we took Bentlee to her first birthday party, it was for her cute cousin Cailee. She has been to birthday celebrations, but only for members of my side of the family and there has never been people she didn't know there. If any of you are familiar with my little girl she is extremely up tight when she gets around big groups of people. For example we went and ate at the Texas Road House and the employees came to sing happy birthday to the man sitting behind us. She had a melt down and had to sit on her dads lap the rest of the time and kept saying, "Take me home daddy take me home." So I really didn't know how she would handle this party with her being only two and being around a bunch of four and five year old little girls. Well we showed up and she wouldn't come inside at first. But she finally came in with some assistance from her dad and she saw that they had a ton of tinkerbell decorations, she was in heaven. They had coloring, pin the star on tink, face painting, a pinata and so much more. I would like to thank my sister in law for such a great time and tell my sweet little niece happy birthday. I guess the point of this blog I am trying to make is my baby is growing up. Four weeks ago she finally went into nursery, for the first time on her own and she is eager to make and meet new friends. I am really relieved that she is not some weird introverted kid that never wants to leave the house. I think as parents we always worry to much..

No Excuses!!!

Well thanks to the wonderful ladies at bunko I have finally decided it is time to start a blog. They all made very great points as to why a blog is worth it. But the number one reason is I stink at writing in my journal so this will be a way for me to keep a journal for my kids and me. Plus I have so many wonderful friends that I don't see enough of and now I won't feel like such a blog stalker if I actually have my own.
