Top 10 things I learned from my kids

10. I can sleep on 3 inches of bed, on the edge, without falling off.
9. A dark purple tank top draped across your eyes is perfect for blocking out light and tell your body its still night time when your trying to get a little rest at 8am.
8. Babies do sleep almost 20 hours a day but their internal alarm clock is set to go off whenever Mom closes her eyes.
7. Kisses are priceless.
6. Kids are always cuter and funnier in the bathtub.
5. Babies still keep breathing during the night even when your not staring at them.
4. Holding and rocking babies is more important than dishes and housework.
3. Kids grow at double the speed whenever your not looking.
2. If you say there is something your kids will never do or as a parent you will never do, you are doomed for it to happen.
1. No matter how big they get you will alway see them as your baby.

Halloween fun

We all went to Nana's last Wednesday to get in the Halloween spirit and decorate sugar cookies. I was on quality control! Yumm!














Isabel made it quite the artistic event. She would spend forever on each cookie making sure that the colors were right, candies in the correct spot and every cookie had to be textured to give that life-like effect. Morgan was the last to finish she sat and decorated cookies for hours.














Maysen kicked it with Grandpa.














Hinckley just ate the candies and sprinkles. She saw no reason to waste time putting them on the cookies.

Baby Henry

Heres the baby picture of Henry. I don't know how to make it bigger though!

Little baby Maysen

I sure thought I would be blogging alot being home all day. But some how it seems I have absolutely no time. Maysen thinks he's a rock star and should be up all night and sleep during the day. All my time is consumed by feeding Maysen, burping Maysen, washing clothes and blankets that he leaked on once again(my laundry has quadrupled!), making sure the other kids are still alive and feeding Maysen some more. It's a good thing babies are so cute and sweet or who would put up with all that. Even though he's alot of work he has been so much fun to have. I love holding him and can't believe how cute he is.

I found this picture of Henry when he was just a couple weeks old and thought it was fun to see how much him and Maysen look alike.

Cute little Maysen is chunkin up. We went to the doctor Monday for his two week check up. Dr Knochel said it would be good if Maysen was back up to his birth weight of 6 lbs 15oz. He was well past that at 7 lbs 7oz. The Dr thinks Maysen is going to grow quickly and for height Maysen was in the 89%. He's going to be a big boy.

Sweet little Maysen

Waiting for Maysen. I went in Monday at noon to be induced. Maysen was born at
927pm. 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 inches long. Maysen has his Papas dark hair, moms long fingers and Grandpa Johnson's long monkey toes.

Proud Papa. Hinckley wasn't really sure what to
think of her little brother. At first she seemed a bit confused, all the sudden we have this new little baby. Where the heck did he come from? But shes been very excited to be big sis. The girls are thrilled and Wes thinks its the best thing ever to have another boy in the family. Finally!!

Maysen coming home from the hospital. The kids all thought it was crazy for him to come home so soon. I guess after Hinckley being in the hospital for a month they thought that was the normal amount of time for them to stay. The kids are so glad to have the baby home and are SO eager to help and hold their baby brother.

Maysen is so cute and cuddly. He is so fun to hold! He sleeps alot, but never at the right times. Someday I'll sleep again. Sweet babies like this are worth it though.

Grandma Fitzgerald came by today and brought Hinckley her own baby to take care of. She was very excited and has been make she she takes good care of her changing her diaper, feeding her and putting her in Maysen's carseat.

Maysen D. Blanco. So cute and little! If you want to see Maysen's adorable picture they took at the hospital go to www.HospitalPortraits.com.
