This Guy is funny and he sings both Parts!!!!!

Don't forget my other post

Details....

Alright, well pretty much everyone knows that Jake and I bought a minivan about a month ago. We got a great deal. Less than a month later I'm driving somewhere over on the East Bench on my way to pick Jake up from a Bachelors party. I drive straight through a GREEN LIGHT and I get hit.

This car turned left across the intersection into me and the kids ON A FREAKIN GREEN LIGHT! Someone started honking and I looked over and saw they were going to T-Bone us, hitting directly at me and Eva so I hit the gas and swerved as far out as possible and the girl never hit the breaks, didn't try to turn wide, nothing! So she caught the back end of our sliding door took out the rear drivers tire, fender and ripped our bumper off. The seat belt was jarred so hard that Eva's car seat came loose and flipped her. The other car though had their entire front end smashed in, the windshield was shattered across the intersection, and the drivers door wouldn't open.

Still, I have a small fracture in the small of my back, but the kids managed to walk away ok. So I have to be a little careful, it's not to bad on the restrictions and I pretty much can do what I want to.

KIDS:

Well Morgan is about 2 1/2 now and is on the move. His mouth moves a mile a minute in Spanish and English. SPANGLISH! The other day he was playing on the piano where we have a Christus and Morgan turns to us and says "Jesús has flip flops, Jesús wear patos" " Oh, really Morgan?" " Yeah, he has zapatshoes"  It was stinkin' funny. He also like to tell you how funny he is,so after anything he does he will say to  "mommy, I funny."

Evita, is getting bigger and bigger and today she is 9 months old. Can you believe it's been that long since Christmas? Even more importantly that it's that close to Christmas! 

Since my last post Eva has started to have more teeth come in so she almost has 4 teeth across the top and still just the 2 on the bottom. She of course still has her infectious smile, and is still just content to just be. The two kids get along great and they love riding in the stroller together. It's really cute to see them like that. Eva likes to tackle Morgan and vice versa. They are still hilarious in the car together. And their new thing is to have Morgan carry Eva around and she pulls her legs up into this sumo position, both of them laughing hysterically.

As for the move, I'm still stressed and it's been a little over a month, so I don't even want to talk about it . hahaha

I also have the world's busiest calling, as does Jake. But we love our busy lives and we love being on the first floor. Hopefully I will remember to blog something funny later.

Just a Quickee.....

So there is so much to update and just not enough time to do it all right now.

We have moved somewhat successfully, we have bought and wrecked a car (not our fault though), broken my back, and as for the kids. Well they are getting big, so big. Eva is getting her teeth which is really funny. She only has one upper tooth but both of her bottoms. She looks so "white clutter"

The kids and I are going to go on a trip back to Arizona for about a month, which we are all so excited about. Poor Jake will be all by himself. Oh well, I know I'm going to have fun.

Well when there is more time I will give more details....

It's All Over....

Eva is on the MOVE! I hate to say it, I have been anxiously awaiting for her to start sitting up and crawling. But, now that it's here....AHHHHH! You forget how much work it is to have a curious child on the loose.
No more setting her to play in one place on the living floor. No more peace, which if you haven't gotten to this stage yet with your second kid, this is also when the "stop touching me" begins.
That's right, Morgan hates being followed by his baby sister, if he hasn't "invited" her along he pitches a total fit.The upside is, Morgan is totally enamered with her. It's almost as if they haven't spent any time together. They love to crawl together, and my favorite part is when Eva lays her head on Morgan's chest, meanwhile Morgan will puff up his stomach really fast; which makes burst uncontrollably with a string of giggles, and the most adorable high pitched squeal.
Last, but not least we are moving one whole building over in one week. We are extremely excited, we will be moving from the third floor to the first floor and we are adding a bedroom.

Woo Hoo!

Choo Choo Eh-Va...

Well first of all I finally got the video of Eva up on the last post, so don't for get to look at it.

So we are all guilty of making silly faces and dorky little noises and phrases. I guess you don't realize just how bad you are about doing those sort of things til you see another child mimicking you.

Morgan is so funny, he know's exactly when to say choo choo and when I would normally tell Eva "Yum-yummies." Not to long ago I got up from feeding Eva to do something in the kitchen for Morgan. Little did I know it was a tactic of his so he could feed Eva. All of a sudden I hear CHOO CHOO...

It's so wonderful to be able to leave Eva in the care of her big brother. He loves taking a turn to feed her and anything else she needs. I wish I could tape them in the car while I am driving. Morgan likes to lean over the car seat and do mimicked baby talk wi/.th her. Can I just say he really gets her going with the giggles in the back seat.

We'll try to catch that one, i'll admit that will be quite the task.
I am so thankful to have two wonderful and beautiful children. I am indeed grateful that they have chosen to grace our lives with their beautiful spirits. It's such a marvelous thing to see them grow, laugh, and play together. I know a lot of work comes with two and even more in the future, but I am grateful to be following the Lord's Plan. To have a body, the gospel, our wonderful children, and an amazing husband. Jake worked hard to recieve his education, and because of that hard work and sacrifice he has a wonderfully amazing employer,and I am able to be home with our kids, to catch moments like these each and everyday.

A blessing I hope to never take forgranted

Eva...

I don't know if I ever said anything about Eva, and how she likes to sleep. Well, it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. She likes to have you, litterally strap her arms down. However, when you put her to sleep that way, you can lay her in her crib awake and she goes to sleep on her own.

On occasion you can find her in our room quietly talking to herself....

These are pictures we have taken of the kids just in the last week or so. We were in Arizona for the Snowflake pioneer days. Which they celebrate the weekend before the actual holiday. It was so fun to actually be home for a while even if it was only for one night. Hopefully we won't have to make our next trip so fast.

Dark Knight...

Ok so this morning Jake and I ventured to the IMAX Theater to watch Dark Knight.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh..........eeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

What a waste of finite resources! At least that's what they say in Arizona. Anyway, I am probably the only person in the entire world who hates this movie. It was ok, and I don't even care about the darkness. The darkness didn't bother me at all. But what the crap with Batman. The voice he makes, uhhh annoying and the lines were so choppy and quite frankly it really just wasn't that great.

However, I would like to thank Hollywood for making the film with the least amount of disgustingness as possible. All in all with the amount of violence there was there was no blood, which I have to say is very nice and quite refreshing.

I also would disagree with people saying that if your not old enough to drive to it you shouldn't see it. I thoroughly think that it is what it is. PG-13. If your kid is not 13 then they shouldn't watch it.

Honestly, after paying for a sitter and driving to the theater it was really a disappointment. I left feeling like I wasted a babysitter on that.

Christian Bale did great for what it was, but I really hope the next isn't pushing the 3 hour mark. Oh and by the way, Oh Holy stupidness with Two Face. And that is all I am even going to allow myself to comment on that one.

By the way I wrote this yesterday! I didn't see Dark Night on a Sunday. hahahha

Oh My Goodness! What a slacker...

So It's been a month! I didn't think it had been that long, but apparently it has. So, there is a lot to catch up on. Last month Morgan and I both had surgery. Both of which went well.

Morgan, CAN HEAR now. It's amazing the difference in his speech and how quickly he is developing new words. As for me I couldn't be happier after having my own surgery. It's amazing the difference it makes not having an extra 5 lbs on my chest.

Eva, oh my sweet sweet beautiful baby girl! She is getting a little thicker, but not much and is not to far off from crawling all over the place. I love her little earrings. So stinkin' cute!

Jake and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary this month. We had so much, we went to the Scera outdoor theater. If you haven't done it, you really ought to think about going. Boyz 2 Men will be singing there in August. Anyway, we watched their version of American Idol and it was pretty funny, most people were good, but others well we'll just say  nice try.

And in about a week it will be official, WE WILL BE UTAHNS! We are purchasing a minivan. I know I know, right!  I always said growing up two things: one, I would never live in Utah and two I would NEVER NEVER own a Minivan. Well it looks I have officially failed at both of those. Because, I am sad to say I am happily living in Utah and I am so very very grateful for a vehicle with 4 doors.

My Poor Baby Boy!

Well today I managed to venture out of the house for one of the kids' many Doctor appointments. Of course I still arrived 10 minutes late. An almost usual occurrence for us. Thank heavens for that 15 minute grace period for all of the Doctors we see. If it weren't for that we would be doing a lot of cancellation fees and rescheduling. Anyway, today I took Morgan to see the Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor.

Morgan has a lot of what they call " Negative Pressure" in his ears. They apply pressure in the ear canal to see how much give the ear drum has in order to determine what kind of treatment to give. Needless to say Morgan has no give. In fact the Doctor noticed while taking pictures of his ear drum that during one of his last ear infections he broke his ear drum and it has started to heal.

So for the last year there has been a list of things I have been complaining about to his regular physician. Waking up at night, but almost immediately going back to sleep, but when he's up he complains about different parts of his body, a half choking noise he makes while sleeping, unexplained all the time coughing and draining . And so much more. Well the Doctor said that once his tubes are in place a majority of his symptoms I have been complaining about will be gone. Can you believe just putting tubes in his ear will make him sleep straight through the night.

Oh I forgot. The E.N.T. said you can tell this kid sees the Dr a lot for his ears. Because, Morgan just turned his head each way for them to look and just sat there like nothing was even happening, and Morgan who just stopped taking an antibiotic  3 weeks ago is starting another infection. BLAH! My poor baby.

I can't believe no one even noticed his ear drum burst during an infection and didn't think to say hey I think he should see a specialist. All the while my baby has been suffering as well as the rest of us. So infuriating!

On a different note:

Friday, Eva has her 6 month check up and shots. Hopefully she has put on some pounds. Her being on Soy milk hasn't really helped her with the weight gain, but I'm sure hoping that all of the sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, peaches, butternut squash and pears has helped pack on the pounds.

I guess that's all for now on my update.

I am Thankful For.....

Today I am thankful for Fathers. Jake is the best Father and Husband anyone could ask for. I couldn't have picked a better person to spend Eternity with. Jake is always willing to help me and the kids whenever we need him.

His sacrifice for us means the world to me. Time away at work, and peace and quiet at home are just a couple of things he has to sacrifice. I am thankful for his Priesthood, that he is worthy to hold the priesthood and actively helps me to teach our children.

FHE is sometimes a hard thing to do in our home, but Jake is patient and understanding. Taking the time to teach simple gospel principles that will allow Morgan to have a full and better knowledge of  the temple and the covenants he will someday make.

I posted earlier about Morgan and his prayers. Well He now says a whole prayer, most of which Jake and I don't understand, but we always catch Jesus, this day, Eva and Amen.

I'm thankful for his love of the gospel and his passion to teach our children to love and obey their Savior.

Another Funny Moment With Our Darling Two Year Old.

The kids and I have been planning to take Jake out for Father's day all week. So yesterday morning when Morgan woke up I said, " we're going to the zoo today." Morgan very candidly replied, " Mommy, I need shoes," then he grabs his foot and says, " I have none." Jake and I were laughing so hard I thought for sure at least one of us would pee our pants.

Anytime we go anywhere the first thing he says he needs is his shoes. He is more worried about his shoes than anything, which I find funny. Sometimes he doesn't have anything on, and he will go and put his shoes on and start pointing to the door and shouting, " OU-side"

Our trip to the zoo was absolutely miserable and yet somehow we ended up being there for two hours. Oh my goodness, it was so HOT, and there were so many people. We finally just left and yet we didn't really see anything. I think that's the best part.

On to an early dinner. After the zoo we went to The Mayan in Sandy. Usually it is really really packed, but yesterday we were able to get right in and sit down. Now I don't know if anyone has been there lately but they have changed there dive show. Indiana Jones makes a star appearance, and fights it out with two BEEFY DIVERS. Morgan thought it was just the greatest thing since sliced bread. He wouldn't even eat his food. No surprise there right?

LOOK!

Ok so I know no one really wants to read about this, but its funny and I have to remember when it happened.

So last night Morgan needed to go #2 so I told him he had to go sit on the potty. Now some background. Morgan has been doing really well at telling us when he needs to Pee even when we are out and about. We have even started to take our chances and allow him to wear the cutest boxer briefs ever out in public.

Anyway, the point is he has been doing really well. But when it comes to #2 he would pretend he was going on the potty but not actually do it and then we have to put a diaper on him and let him go. So back to the story.....

I tell Morgan to go sit on the potty. Morgan disappears, and soon appears and says, "Mommy Come On!" So off we trot to the bathroom. When I get there he as prepped his environment. The stool has been pushed all the way up to the toilet, his little toilet converter was in place ( for those who don't know its a toilet seat inside the toilet seat so he doesn't fall in.), and Morgan is grabbing his butt and screaming at me " Mommy I have poopyyyyyy," so like any good mother I sit him up on the toilet and he just starts talking away and every once in a while I would say " oh yeah," and then Morgan would say "yep" but in this really strained I'm pooping voice.

So he finally finishes and he hops down, looks in the toilet and turns to me, and says, " Look, See, it's the poopy!" All while pointing and his head in the toilet to get a better look.

Anyway, not to brag or anything but Morgan is only 2 years and 34 days old and he is just about POTTY TRAINED!

 

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Day Late.....BUT I am Thankful For...

So I am thankful for Family Prayer. Morgan is now saying a prayer before we can even bow our heads. Then when Jake is ready to start Morgan shouts "AMEN" it has got to be one the most hilarious things ever.

So Jake at first patiently tells Morgan to fold his arms again and Morgan does but then yells Amen.

It really is the simple things like your two year old Shouting AMEN that really brings about your feelings of true gratitude.

I am so thankful for a Father in Heaven who hears and answers all of my prayers,  even when I am not living to my fullest potential. I am thankful that he allows the Holy Ghost to comfort me throuhgout my day with my Kids. Anyone who is anyone has a prayer in the heart all day, when they are with their kids.

My Heart was truly filled with Gratitude this Sunday when we had a lesson on not taking for granted our Spouses when they have a willingness to go to the Lord in Prayer.

I have a testimony that I know that the Lord truly hears and answers our prayers. Jake would not have the job he has today if it weren't for our willingness to humble ourselves before the Lord, and ask him for such a blessing.

He has helped me to bring two beautiful children into this world, and to have the strength and stamina to endure to the end. It is my hope and prayer that we will make it to the end together.

Just a look!

I am Grateful For.....

Okay, so as apart of a new Toronto tradition we will be posting a Sunday Family post, about our gratitude and thoughts on different topics.

This is Jacob. I guess since it''s Our Little Life, not Magen's little life, I'll participate, and not too unwillingingly :). I say unwillingly not because I'm unwilling but because I am not used to doing this. It's like trudging through thick, sticky mud: I'm working against force of habit, and it's the habit of ignoring this blog thingy that I'm posting to.

And that's what I'm grateful for: a wife who knows me and loves me -- and us -- enough to push me into doing things I wouldn't normally do. I'm grateful for our amazing date last night -- what a slacker I am! I'm grateful for Tiana who took care of our kids last night. Man, thank you! It felt so freeing to not have to care for our children, and it allowed us to focus on just the two of us. It was nice. I haven't felt that for a long time :)

My kids are really wonderful. Morgan has pure, heartfelt laughter that makes me envy the carefree joy of childhood. I just think of him speeding through the house laughing all the way, and then stooping down to talk to Eva, making her laugh. There's something so sweet about them. Thank goodness for children to help me grow up and be a man, to help me learn self-restraint and patience. But more than that, it's wonderful having them because it's wonderful having them, because they are at once a part of me and apart from me.

BIRTHDAYS!

 

Well I just realized that I didn't give any specifics about Morgan's Birthday. Well first we took him to PF Chang's and he gorged himself on rice, crab wontons, and THE GREAT WALL OF CHOCOALTE!!!!! Then we of course had to presents.

Morgan got a ton of books, I think like 60 in all, then his Great- Yaya bought him this really really annoying dog that barks and rolls across the floor. Of course it is like one his favorite things to play, and is on my top ten things I am praying for the batteries to die.

So if you have never been to PF Chang's or you have never ordered the GREAT WALL OF CHOCOLATE you are so missing out. It has to be some of the best chocolate cake ever and it sits on this enormous plate of homemade raspberry sauce. I am telling you it's divine. 

Anyway, yesterday was my birthday, and I turned the big 23! WOO HOO! So I of course wanted to go to PF Chang's. Dinner was great! NO KIDS! Jake and I sat at our table for like 2 hours, then we raced to Nordstroms for me to buy some Make-up for my birthday. You have to love the expensive stuff, then it was off to the theater for Prince Caspian.  Oh my goodness, it was so good. Loud, but Good.

Jake: "There is no need for this assault on our eardrums"

Me: "Can I quote you on that"

I've Been Tagged....

Now I am supposed to tag 5 people..... Melinda Lanier, Amanda Swafford, Joanna, Brianna Dummar, and Tish Solomon.

Good Luck!

Finally I Figure it Out...

 

So I have finally figured out how to change my background, from the boring blogspot. background. Except then when I changed it I lost all of my friends. Holy Crap! I could have killed someone. Then I turned to Jake and said "stupid programmers." Which in our house is a pretty regular statement, considering Jake is a programmer.

No, I'm not being mean. It's just an inside joke in the Toronto Family. That is between Jake and I. Anyway, any time anything goes wrong with any sort of web application or I can't make something work one or both of us says" stupid programmers."

Now if you have to sit through discussions about "code" like I do then you know if you lose your friend list when you change your template. The programmer who made it goofed up his code and sent your friends list a packin'.

Anyway, I have recovered from my heart attack, and have since hand written everyone's addresses down. So if the next time this happens to you just scream at the top of your lungs "STUPID PROGRAMMERS," and I guarantee you will feel a smidgen better. Well it'll at least make you laugh.

A Time of Celebration

 

What a packed weekend and there is still more to come. Morgan turned two on Friday and then of course we had Mother's day too. Then my birthday is at the end of the month and at least 6 other people in our extended family.

Morgan is just so adorable. His vocabulary is growing day after day and today without me saying anything first he said Jesus during FHE. Major excitement on my part. It's amazing how much satisfaction you gain from your child's growth. I guess I am always worried whether or not we or I am doing a good job with raising our children, and yet all self doubt flies out the window when Morgan kisses Eva, or like tonight lights up when we talk about "Jesus."

It's so amazing how much he likes FHE when we have FHE. We usually do pretty well at getting it done and yet after nights like tonight it makes you want to do even better at fulfilling the commandments when your kids enjoy learning even with as simple a lesson as " I am thankful for my body."It's really cute because Morgan can't say "world" so when you ask him what "Jesus" made he says " the ball." I love it!

In other really exciting news, Friday is Jake and Morgan's first Father son outing. They are planning camping and everything with the ward. They are both so excited.

Eva is doing really well with her stomach to back rolling now, and is finally enjoying her tummy time. We started feeding her baby food and she absolutely loves it. She loves it when Morgan attempts to play with her, and they love talking to each other in the car. That's really funny to see.

I love my little family and I can't wait to see us all grow.

I survived

Holy Cow that had to be the longest four days of my life! But I did it. I survived. I also single handedly put both kids on the same bedtime. NINE O'CLOCK!!!!!! There is just something about needing your own peace at the end of the day. I don't know about everyone else but I need that peace before two AM. Especially when you can't tag team your children.

So for the most part both Morgan and Eva have stayed to that schedule. Well to be honest mostly Eva has stayed to the nine o'clock bedtime. I think Morgan's problem is that even though he is tired he is so happy to be with Jake that he won't go to bed. BIG SUCKAROO! I just want to go to bed now, now that I know it's possible to go to bed and get up early. Now when I mean early I mean like eight. But still not sleeping half the day because we were up til two.

Will I ever find the peace again.........who knows......

Now just a note to all those who have known Jake and I for a while. Morgan is having his second birthday. Can you believe he is already two. We certainly can't. I feel like we just had him. I feel like I just had Morgan and I just barley found out I was pregnant with Eva, and I just had her. But look Morgan is two and Eva is almost five months now. Time really flies, don't you think?

Oh My GOSH!!!!!

What am I going to do? Jake is leaving tomorrow for a conference, and I am on my own for four whole days! Every time he's gone out of town my family has been here in Utah I wen to Arizona.

Jake made a joke about not envying me. So not funny.

On a lighter note. We bought Morgan a train set that sits on a standing table for his 2nd birthday. Of course we couldn't make him suffer til his birthday in may. Soooooooo............................

He got to open early and he absolutely loves it. He will play for hours by himself. I highly recommend it. He always is playing when I am tied up with Eva which is immensely helpful. And all I have to say is play in your room and he runs away screaming " chooo."

Oh another really exciting thing, for the first time ever. Last week I was able to ask him where he hurt and He said ouch and pointed to his ear. I almost cried because I felt like I can finally communicate with him. Such a big step. I don't think our new neighbors could appreciate how exciting it was. They were like your happy he has an ear infection. I said of course not but he cold tell me did and that makes me happy. I think they still think its a little weird.

For those of you who have kids older than mine, How much longer until he starts talking and doesn't stop?

It's begun! Ahhhhhhh.......

 

Can you believe it? Already, Morgan and Eva have started picking on one another. The other day Morgan was sitting on the bed with Eva and she was pushing him with her feet. Morgan would then start screaming. This was the first time I ever noticed he could say " stop it." Needless to say Eva thought it was absolutely hilarious, and would laugh and put her toes back on his leg, Morgan would scream and Eva would laugh.

I have so much to catch up on. Morgan's favorite and I mean favorite thing to talk about is his basketball. Even if he sees a basketball hoop and no ball he will tell you all about it. His other obsession would have to be dancing. Oh my goodness is that funny. I have never in my life seen a kid so young dance with so much rhythm. His favorite song...... are you ready for this.........

CLUMSY BY FERGIE

I have to tell you if your ever around remind me to have him dance, I don't think you will ever laugh so hard.

One more thing. Like a lot of you I'm sure, I have been attempting to start some sort of food storage. Does anyone have any good ideas on what and how to store the food? I'm trying to avoid buying like 5,000 pounds of cracked wheat. It's to much work to try and turn that over. So I am storing flour instead. But what about canned foods and things like that, Do you know where to calculate how much food you need?

Let me know if you any ideas.

Calling all American Idol Fans.....

 

Morgan has called it again! So Jake and I have noticed that when we watch American Idol, Morgan dances to the contestants who actually sound good. No Joke! Like tonight when Katie was kicked off the show. While she was singing both last night and the previous night Morgan furrowed his brow and kept shaking his head and saying "NO,No, no."

So anyway, so far Morgan has called on every vote off. We'll see if he keeps it up.

Winter blues.....

Well this winter has been exhausting with it's back and forth temperatures. Leaving everyone restless and longing for spring to arrive. I can't wait for picnics and trips to the canyon.

Does anyone else feel the same? I guess I'll have to get my warm fix from somewhere else. Jake and I are taking the kids to Tucson for Easter, where we will be greeted by the wonderful year round warmth of Arizona. 70 degree weather! I am so excited for sandals and capris.

In the meantime Morgan has found a way to get the exercise he so desperately needs. While I wait for it to warm up enough to take him to the playground, Morgan has found a new love of the treadmill. That's right Morgan loves the treadmill. He has even started to jog a little.
If he doesn't get his daily fix, mommy can count on a day full of tantrums. It has got to be the most hilarious thing I have ever seen.

Holy Cow! 2 months already......

So it's been a while and the kids are enormous. Eva just had her two month Doctor visit and she is in the 95th percentile. She's 24 in already and is still growing like a weed. Morgan is still growing just as fast and unbelievably will be having his second birthday in May.

Morgan has started to potty train is doing really well. He even wakes up in the morning takes his diaper off himself and sits on his little potty and pees.Hopefully it won't take much longer of being on top of him every ten minutes to " go potty."

Eva's blessing was 2 weeks ago and we are ever so glad to have that over with. There's something about the event of a blessing though that just really finalizes things. Do you know what I mean? She finally feels like an official member of the family.....here to stay.

Morgan LOVES being an older brother. Especially if he gets to pop Eva's toes when I am not looking. He's always trying to feed Eva and bring her a blanket when she cries. He really is adorable to watch with her. It's so neat to see how much they both really love one another. Eva's face just absolutely lights up when she sees Morgan, and if you ask her if she loves her big brother she grins from ear to ear and coos like crazy.

I always tell people one kid feels like playing house and two kids is a family. And you know what it's true. Jake and I really feel like a family now. Settled.
