Benihana

To celebrate Brandon's birthday the whole family, minus Sam and I, headed over to Benihana's. My Mom, Dad and Robby felt they could handle the little girls so they tagged along with the group. Apparently Bailey pounded down an entire California roll (sounds about right) and they were fascinated with the show.

I am in love with their hats. 

Heber Train Ride

Since Bails doesn't have school on Wednesdays my Mom and Dad took the girls on an adventure. They all headed up to Heber for a train ride. The girls were so happy. They didn't cry when the bandits came and robbed all the passengers and they were more than happy to accept a chocolate gold coin from them. They also got a bag of cheetos, and nothing on this planet makes them happier than that.

Thanks for all the fun adventures Mom & Dad!

Bailey says...

 I have no idea when my Bailey got so big.

She is such a good little helper. Always ready to hold the baby, grab the diapers, put her dishes in the sink, etc. Love my beautiful girl.

B: "Hey Mom, what is that?" - Pointing to the pimple on my nose.

Me:  A Pimple

B: "A temple? How come you have that?"

Me: Because sometimes when I have babies in my tummy I get pimples on my face.

B: "Oh, well I want to get a baby in my tummy so I can have a temple on my face too because I want to be just like you."

She is always wanting to plan out the day. She will come up with a list of activities to do and then ask...

B: "Is that a good plan?"

If you say yes...

B: "Then lets do it!"

Another Round of Fishing

Ever since Bails went fishing with Robby and Aleesha she has talked about it non-stop. She had a slightly skewed experience since she actually caught two fish. When she talks to my Dad he always reassures her that when he comes up to Utah after the baby is born he will take her and Hazel fishing. This always makes her so happy. Sure enough, when he came up he didn't disappoint. He also didn't make her wait long either. Their first full day here Sam and the girls accompanied my Dad and Robby to the lake.

 On the way up Robby was teasing her and said he was going to catch 3 fish. She came back and claimed she would catch 4 fish. Well sure enough, she brought back 4 fish.

 She was happy because she got to reel them in and play with them once they were caught, and Sam was happy because Robby and my Dad were there to do the dirty work, like actually touch the fish.

She also happened to eat an entire one of those fish for dinner.

One Week

Instead of taking Miko to the doctor at two days old like we were supposed to, we managed to get there at one week old. We are doing our best to not turn her into the neglected 3rd child and it appears we are slightly failing.

Height: 20 inches - 59%

Weight: 6 lbs 11.9 oz - 24%

Head Circumference: 35.6 cm - 80%

Miko has been sleeping great. The first night we brought her home she was up every hour or so and fussy and I was even more mad at the nurse at the hospital for ruining my initial 6 hour stretch with my brand new newborns. But around 4 or 5 am she did the great poop and filled her diaper, instantly went to sleep, and hasn't been fussy since.

Grandma Pam

Grandma Pam came to help us survive the first week since Sam returned to school less than 48 hours after her birth, and maybe 14 hours after we came home from the hospital. 

Thanks so much for all of your help Grandma Pam.
