way behind!!
Wow I’m so behind on my blog its sickening!!..... okae so I need to update you all on what’s been happening at the Joos house…. Well on June 15th we welcomed our beautiful baby gurl. Brexlyn was born after 10 pm she weighed 6 lbs 1 oz and was 19 inches long!! She was born with a full head of hair and big beautiful eyes!! She was 24 days early and becuz she was so little and early she had to spend a week in the NICU. (I never ever want to do that again) She was breathing too fast so she had to learn how to breath normal. For the first couple days she had oxygen and an IV in her head it was the worst thing ever I hated going in to visit her and not be able to pick her up and love her. She was born on a Tuesday and was not allowed to eat until Thursday and I was not actually allowed to nurse her until that Sunday so I had to spend most of my days pumping so I didn’t lose my milk supply!! Good thing the hospital had such great pumps!! Ha ha if only I was rich I’d own one of those hospital pumps!! Anyways she came home on her one week birthday… it was totally unexpected… David and I had spent her first week of life going back and forth to the hospital every 2 or 3 hours to feed her. But on the day she came home we went in for our normal 3 hour feeding and the NICU doctor came in and checked on her and checked her vitals and said we could take her home!! Oh I was so stinking excited!! The first time I got to hold my baby gurl was when she was almost two days old and daddy and I were the only ones who were allowed to hold her everyone else was only allowed to look at her. The worst part about all this was that Skyler and Gaige hadn’t even seen their new baby sister until the Sunday after she was born and even then they were only allowed to see her thru the glass window. It was so sad and they just didn’t understand the whole situation. My sister was the first one of our families to hold her!! She thought that was pretty cool!! Life did not feel normal after Brexlyn was born I feel like I’ve been playing catch up ever since then… its finally starting to get back to normal and she is almost 4 months old!! We are so blessed that Brexie was only in the hospital for a week some of those babies in there had been there for days, weeks and even months!! I was such an emotional wreck I don’t know if I could’ve handled her being in there any longer than she was. I was so greatful to my sister and her husband who helped us out so very much with our boys and the kids that I watch!! My mom and dad tried to go see Brexlyn in the hospital every chance they had!! I am so very greatful for such a supportive family. David’s poor dad was in the hospital at the time that we had Brexlyn except he was at a different one. So he was not able to see Brexlyn for awhile.
Skyler is getting bigger every day and he acts like he is 5 not 3!! He is such a good big brother to both his sister and his brother!! He is mommies little helper, most of the time if I ask him to get me something he will happily get it for me!! He loves to watch Toy story a million times. He has decided he wants to be Buzz for Halloween!!
Gaige will be two in November, but he acts like he is bigger than he really is!! He is such a talker now… Gaige’s newest game he likes to play is the “I love you more” game!! He still thinks he is the funniest stinker ever!! He is in nursery with Skyler and really enjoys it!! Gaige enjoys being a big brother too!!
Brexlyn is almost 4 months old and loves to smile and coo. She likes to lay on the floor and kick and talk!! She keeps trying to sit up by herself which I’m trying to convince her that she is still too little!! She finally started to gain weight and weighs a little over ten pounds.
David has been super busy with school and work. For his EARLY birthday present we bought him a Mazda Mita so he’s been working on that fixing it up and redoing things on that. Me… eh…. I’ve just been being a mommie and taking care of my 3 beautiful children and my wonderful husband… you know just the normal mommie and wife duties… cleaning cooking laundry diaper changing baby feeding ect… plus I’m still watching kids and now I’m going into business with this company by the name of world ventures… I’ll explain more about it later… and I’m trying to get my crafts accepted to quilted bear… so on top of being a wife and mom I am trying to start two business which I know will be successful if I work on them!! Oh and I chopped all my hair off after almost 24 years and I love it!!
But on top of everything we are trying to sell our house so we can move closer to David’s school since he’ll be there for AWHILE… well I think I am updated finally… ha ha for now!!

OOPS!!
So I seriously have the worst case of OCD I swear.... I can not stand to have my house dirty or to have clothes that I know either need to be washed or dried or folded or hung up just sitting in piles. So, dumb ME I think I need to get it ALL done within a day or two instead of spreading out and doing a little bit each day.... which is what I should be doing especially since I am almost 7 months pregnant now... well the week before Skylers birthday I decided to do some MEGA house cleaning and to do about a dozen or more batches of laundry plus plan a birthday party and make sure things were ready for Easter and I landed myself in Labor and Delivery last wednesday becuz I started contracting!!! Luckily, they weren't strong enough to do anything besides take my breath away... I really should be careful since I already kno that I dilate WAY early and I really don't need to have this baby that early!! So I was very happy that baby was healthy and that I was okay to go home... I was just told to drink LOTS of water and to slow down or I'm going to be in trouble... ha ha I'm trying but like I said thats hard for me... I'm like the energizer bunny I keep going and going and going!! Although I can't help it when I'm chasing like 6 kids and a 4 month old!! Plus my house has a pretty nice set of stairs!!
So other than our lovely trip to the hospital things here at the Joos house are GREAT!! David is still as busy as ever going to school and working full time. Skyler is learning more and more things every day... he is such a smart kid I love that I can carry a conversation with him and understand the whole thing!! We are teaching him his shapes and how to count better... he already knows his colors and he can get himself completely undressed and dressed himself which he is very proud of himself for doing!! His new favorite thing to do is talk to daddy on the phone... i'll let him call David at work once in a while to talk to him. (David enjoys it too) Gaige is getting over his second ear infection in the last month plus he has been getting his molars so he has been kindof a huge grump the last couple weeks... he is growing like a weed too... he is learning new words and loves to get in to trouble!! he seriously thinks he is a monkey he climbs on EVERYTHING!!! He has been super attached to his daddy lately too... he'll walk around the house yelling for him even if he isn't home and he knows he's not home... he's a nut case!! Skyler and Gaige are hooked to eachother!! They love to tease eachother and wrestle with each other, but they also like to sit and play or read books together!! they are going to be best buds for ever I think. Our little gurl is growing and developing great!! She gets the hiccups at least 50 times a day I swear!! She likes to see how far she can push my tummy out in all different directions too. She is VERY active!! Especially at nights when I am laying in bed trying to sleep!! I love being pregnant I love all the fun feelings it comes with!! We can't wait to meet our little princess in 12 weeks or less!! We did just add a new member to our family this weekend tho... we bought a Malimute/Husky/Border Collie mix 8 week old puppy from a family in Idaho!! He is the cutest puppy ever!! My parents bought his sister and they agreed to pick up our puppy too so they drove to idaho to pick up the pups and brought them home saturday.... We finally decided on a name for him after calling him puppie for the last couple days..... we named him "Moglie" like the little boy off of Jungle Book.... Moglie is such a good little puppie... although saturday night he whined and cried ALL night long!!! Last nite wasn't as bad he didn't do too bad... he's warming up to us and his new life here at our house!! Gaige loves him he likes to let him lick his hands its cute... Skyler isn't too sure about him just yet but he's alwayz been my more nerves one.... he loves to talk to him and give him treats. I think he'll warm up here soon tho. David and Moglie are already becoming great buddies... david is attached to that puppie and the puppie follows him every where.... ha ha I am such a lucky woman!! I am headed to bed now tho... i'm exhausted and 5 am comes really fast!! I'll post pix very soon!!

Skyler turns 3
On Saturday April 3rd Skyler turned 3 years old!! I can't believe he is already three it makes me sad that my little boy is getting so stinking big!! We took him to treehouse for the morning of his birthday, he loves that place. Skyler got mega mega spoiled for his birthday too... he loves Toy Story so for his birthday David and I bought him a BIG Buzz and Woody and then a littler Buzz, Woody, Jessie and Zurg. He got lots of Toy Story toys and books and coloring books too, plus he got lots of other stuff too... David had stayed up all night the night before blowing and hanging up balloons (yes i was exhausted and fell asleep with the boys while he decorated... oops!!) he put them all over the walls in our basement and then saturday morning went and bought him some floating ones!! It was so cute while David was gone getting the other balloons the boys woke up and saw all the balloons and Skyler kept saying "NO WAY DADDY GOOD JOB!!" ha ha he did do a good job!! That is Skylers new saying every time he'd open a present he'd say "No Way" it was funny!! We had a great turn out!! The food was yummy and the kids had a blast!! especially in our blow up boxing ring that we had blown up out in our back yard!! We also did a pinata and played pin the tail on the donkey!! All in all I think he had a great birthday!! I'll have to post pictures of his cake and the treehouse!!
Holy how time flies!!
Geez.... where to begin.... hmm... we'll just start with the beginning of the year... so far 2010 has been a really great year... we'll begin with January.... I decided since Skyler was getting super close to turning 3 that it was time to start the POTTY TRAINING fun so on January 4th I began the adventure and he did REALLY well the first day he had 4 accidents and then the next 3 or 4 days he was making it thru the day with only one, and by Sunday he was completely potty trained!! He was so beyond ready to be potty trained I think he needed that little push. Gaige even thought he needed to be potty trained too. Ha ha he was only 14 months tho so I was not ready for him to be that big yet. We also got to see my older brother Cody for a couple days while he was home for R&R. We alwayz have such a blast with him and his little family!!
February... was a great month too David and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. (I can't believe its already been 4 years) For our anniversary we had my parents watch the boys and we went to dinner and then went and played at Boondocks. That place is SO addicting!! Anywayz.... we were suppose to find out the sex of baby number three in February but my wonderful doctor decided for some strange reason she needed to take a vacation... ha ha just kidding I have the greatest doctor ever!! She really is the BEST!! February wasn't too eventful...
Now on to March.... On march 3rd we found out that baby number 3 is a GURL!!! We are so stoked!!! I've alwayz known it was a gurl the second the test said "pregnant" I knew it was a gurl. Especially after we told Skyler that mommie had a baby in her tummy he started talking about his baby sister... its amazing how much kids know... they are still so close to the veil. Skyler loves to go to the doctor "to see" his baby sister. He alwayz talks to her and kisses my belly, and since big brother does it Gaige has to do it too!! I LOVE IT!!! The boys are so excited to meet their baby sister!! David was worried that it would be another boy and that I would hate him or something. He makes me laugh!! I kept telling him that all I wanted was a happy healthy baby and that the gender was the least of my worries... ha ha but he still wasn't convinced!! He is SO excited to meet his little gurl!! Although he is worried he is not going to know what to do with a little gurl. I'm pretty sure it won't take him long at all to figure it out tho!! She is going to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger!! I think that just about catches us up!!

Christmas Morning!!
We Gated off the hall so the boys couldn't get into the front room with out us to see what Santa brought!!
This is what Santa brought the boys!!
They were so excited about this truck!!
This is everything Skyler got from us and Santa!!
This is everything Gaige got from us and Santa!!
The last of 2009!!
Wow you don't realize how fast time flies until you look at your blog and its been over 2 months since you last updated it!! HA HA!! I'm a loser!! JK!!! So much has happened since I last posted anything.... we will start with where I ended last year....
Gaige turned ONE on November 7th!!! We had a party for him which was so much fun!! I made home made Chili for the very first time and it turned out so yummy!! I was very proud of myself!!! Gaige was mega spoiled!! He got lots of fun toys and he enjoyed all the attention being on him!! He thinks he is the funniest thing ever!! David made his cake to be his favorite character which is mickey mouse and I do have pictures of it but i'll have to post them all later!!
Davids birthday was on the 13th of November and I think he had a good birthday... I can't exactly remember what we got him but I'm pretty sure it was tools and clothes... and I bought him a yummy ice cream cake cuz he had alwayz said for his birthday thats what he wanted... so guess what that's what he got!! Since mine and Davids birthdays are exactly 2 weeks apart we alwayz have a big family dinner to just celebrate both of ours together but now that we have Gaige we celebrate all THREE together!! Poor Skylers birthday is in April so his isn't close to ours really... but he is spoiled just like his little brother!! lets see the next thing was.... Thanksgiving which was fun too we went to my parents for lunch and then we went to Davids Grammies for dinner... we were so stuffed by the end of that day all I wanted to do was take a long NAP!!!
On December 10th my sister in law had her little gurlie Arissa Ann-Lynn Ritchie!! She is a very beautiful little gurl!! While Jess and Zack were in the hospital I had my little nephew Jayden (which is their 2 year old) him and Skyler act just like brothers most of the time.... and they fight just like brothers too!! They are such little stinkers but I love them!!! Jayden was super excited to see his new little sister he kept saying "I hold it!" ha ha we tried to convince him that she was a baby and to say "I hold HER" but it didn't really work!! Oh well they'll learn some day!!
Next I think would be Christmas and all I have to say is my boys are mega beyond spoiled rotten!! (you'll see later in the pix) Skyler for weeks kept saying that Santa was bringing him Buzz for christmas.... which was kind of my fault.... he had seen a commerical on the tv for the new Toy Story Game for the WII and said he wanted that and I being the smart one thinking he'd forget about it!!! OH NO he didn't!!! He remembered!!! We took the boys to Ogden Christmas village on the 23rd to see Santa and sure enough he asked him for his BUZZ GAME!!! Gaige did not like Santa at all!! He cried!! But oh well I think this year he will like him more (or just hate him even more). On Christmas morning Skyler and Gaige had to wake Daddy up so they could see what Santa brought and the first thing Gaige did was touch his big 5 foot Mickey Mouses nose!! It was so funny!! Skyler went straight for his big truck!! We spent some of that morning opening presents and seeing the stuff from Santa and then my parents came over to see what the boys got and to give us their gifts... after my family left we headed to Davids dads for more presents and then headed to the church with more of Davids family then we headed to his Grammies for dinner and even MORE gifts!! We finally got home late that nite and we were all exhausted!!! The holidays for us are ALWAYZ crazy!!! but we love it!! The sunday after Christmas was my little brother Austins mission farewell which was really fun!! He did an awesome job on his talk!! my mom made THE BEST pulled pork sandwiches EVER!!! they were heavenly!!! We had so many people come and see him it was awesome!! He left for the MTC on the 30th of December and he is officially now in Roseville California as of Wednesday!!(I think) He is going to be a wonderful missionary!! We are so proud of him!! I think that pretty much sums up the rest of 2009!!!
