Mom why are you crazy?

I can remember as a child once thinking to myself that my parents were crazy. After a sleepless night like tonight, I now totally understand why, my parents were....
Parents are walking sleepless Zombies!!

2months and 18months

Thanks for all your input for the whole name thing. Bret and I still don't know what we are going to do. I think we might just change it to Taten... Then it's still Tate and not a girls name. Although I did finally find one baby name website that said Tatum is a unisex name... all the others say its a girls name. But they also say that McKinley is a boys name... maybe Bret and I are just all backwards with names.
Here is the latest update on the kids....

Tate at 2months

Weight 9lbs 3oz - 4%
Height 23" - 63%
Head 39.5 - 42%

McKinley at 18 months

Weight 21lbs 1oz - 2%
Height 31" - 26%
Head 47.5 - 75%

What can I say I must starve my children... haha
Combined they both had 7 shots. Surprisingly though it wasn't all that bad of a day. I think its because I was preparing myself for it to be bad. Kin didn't even cry when she got her shots.. she was way more excited about getting to wear band-aides. Tate did really well too, yes of course he cried but he calmed right down after and wasn't any fussier than normal.

Here are a few pictures that I have taken of the kids in the last few days...
McKinley LOVES cafe rio's black beans and this is usually what she looks like when she is finished.

Old Navy is having a baby sale where all of their baby clothes are 40% off and because I do the online surveys I get an additional 10% so its 50% off of baby clothes I picked out this little outfit for Tate, I love it.

I finally got my stroller that I bought online and went jogging the first time since I have had Tate or McKinley today. Its a start to finally fit back into my jeans that I wore in high school! (and those were even bigger than I would like) And way here is a picture of the kids enjoying their new ride!

New Toys, Two Months, State Fair.. Oh MY!

Well Tate is officially two months old. And his colic is finally getting under control or I can just handle it better... I can't really decide. Bret and I have been talking about changing his name to Korver like we had originally wanted too. He just didn't look like a Korver when he was first born, but now I think he doesn't look like a Tate... and the fact that I guess Tatum is technically a girls name. So I decided to start a poll... what do you think? should we keep Tatum or should we change it to Korver. We haven't blessed him yet so really the only things his name is on is his birth certificate and his SS card.

Tatum or Korver?
Keep Tatum

This weekend we went to Layton to pick up a new toy for the kids. Thanks Kelly for letting us know about this and giving us a crazy good deal on it!!! McKinley loves it!

Last night we went to the State Fair. Its tradition in Brets family to go on Monday night for the all you can eat Ice Cream. Unfortunately I forgot my camera in the stroller so I didn't get any pictures of us eating ice cream. But I did get some of the pigs, sheep, cows and the most important thing... the butter sculpture!

Weekend Fun

This past weekend we had quite a bit of excitement. Saturday was BYU's opening game!! WAHOO! I can't even believe how excited I was to go... I love this time of year and the smell of football is part of it. Bret and I decided that buying season tickets would be a very good investment for us and the family in the future... ok not really Katy, Danny and I talked Bret into getting them. Thanks honey for being so easily persuaded. Although we have the cheapest tickets we could get and we are 5 rows from the top of the south endzone, the seats aren't that bad and if it ever snows we will be in the sun the longest. :) Anyway, we headed down to happy valley with Danny, Katy, Tate, Bret and I in our little escort.. haha Good Times. The game was nice, it was really hot that day, but towards the middle of the 3rd quarter the clouds rolled in and it was nice. After the game (which BYU won) we went to eat at Los Hermanos... yummy! What a great start to the first of many games and trips to Happy Valley!

Monday Bret and I wanted to take Kinley to the Zoo, but since it was raining we went to the discovery gateway. McKinley had such a blast! They have an area called the 'Beehive" where they take balls and use them in a bunch of different activities. This area was her favorite. I think we spent about 2 hours just in the beehive.

On a different note, I don't know if any of you have the same problem with your feet as I have with mine. It seems like at the end of summer my feet are just torn to bits from flip flops and sandels. But I have found the solution, the Ped Egg.

I can remember seeing an infomercial about it and laughing that people would be dumb enough to use something like that. But in desperation to save my feet, I bought it for $10 at Walmart. I suggest if your feet look like this....

to go get one. I did and it really works. My feet were not this bad.. but pretty close to it. and now they are nice and soft with the cracks almost gone!!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Last Saturday we went to Ethan's (my nephew) 1st birthday party. Robyn did such a great job putting on this birthday party. Finding Nemo was the theme of the party and they had swimming pools and blow-up water slides for the kids to play on. McKinley had a lot of fun playing in the water, but mostly the sandpit and chasing dad and uncle Jayson with the basketball. Here are just a few pictures of the event.
