So even though it's 3:00 in the morning, and I was 'going to go to bed' hours ago, I'm going to take a minute to write up a quick 'snapshot' of our family because the only time I ever get things done is 'NOW!' So here we are.<br />
<br />
Just like April, I'm adoring family life right now. People ask me how it is having four (kids) and I tell them that it's actually the easiest now because I (finally!) have one that old enough to actually be a real help, and I finally have my groove enough to feel like I know what I'm doing and confidence in my parenting. I've semi-accomplished some personal goals and it feels amazing. We're ADORING homeschooling and feel incredibly blessed to have found it, along with the <a href="http://www.tjed.org/" target="_blank">method</a> we're using and it is just bliss for our family. Brandon's practice is going well and we're hoping to find a just-right home on some land in the next few months where our babies can stretch their legs and spread their wings - quite literally. It's hard to do any running around where we are now, although we are soo incredibly grateful to be in Auburn at all and love it here. We're just very much looking forward to some land.<br />

Haylee is our little reader... she's almost always got a great book in her hand and it is so neat to see her turning into such a little lady. She's also taken up many interests lately such as cooking (she can make pancakes from scratch on her own... from whole wheat kernels), an autobiography book she's filling in, rocks and minerals, geography, and most recently she's working on a design for building a robot. She is caring, considerate, pays attention to others around her, tries to be and is a huge help and is so good to and with her little brothers. They adore her. She went to sleep over at a cousin's house tonight and McKay was in tears... "I'll die without Haylee!!" he says.... be still my heart. She helps whenever asked, and she is a joy to be around. I love her smiles and excitement when she's explaining something she's excited about. I love her testimony and understanding of the <a href="http://www.mormon.org/" target="_blank">gospel</a> and how she brings it up throughout the days and weeks. I LOVE that we get to include it in our everyday 'world-educating!' (Read 'homeschooling' but it's not just our home - its the whole world, and it's not 'school' its even better - education. So I'm calling it 'world-education.' :) )<br />

McKay is our tender little heart. He is so quick to feel remorse and to apologize sincerely when he's been in the wrong. He teaches me so much. He melts my heart. He is so creative and uses his imagination every day. I love seeing the things he comes up with. The kids watch zero tv and I love seeing how amazingly they fill their time on their own. He tries to get Haylee away from her books to play with him as much as possible, but as she reads more, he and Aaron have become close buddies and its so fun seeing Aaron shift from being the baby who wasn't able to play, to a great playmate and friend to McKay. Those boys (and often Haylee as well) are always up to something - building something out of wood, making a secret fort out of their beds and sheets, trying to build a tree swing or tree fort, legos or other building toys, or eating apple after apple after apple. McKay gets so excited when our 100 apple box comes from our delivery service. He's in heaven!<br />

Aaron went through a rough stage before he really learned to communicate his frustrations, but it's (finally) getting better and we're able to talk to him much more than before. He is extremely particular in the ways certain things are done, and if he can't understand or just doesn't care (because he's developmentally not able to yet) why it can't be that way, its very hard for him to deal with it. But it is amazing.... I was thinking today how interesting this is... I've looked back at some of our struggles with the kids, and it is so easy to see how so many of the issues we had with them, were really issues with ourselves. As I've seen things as a problem with *myself*, rather than a 'bratty kid,' it's been so much easier to find solutions and have a happier home. So. many. times. I've seen how the issue is from something *I'm* doing wrong or not as well as I could. Aaron is also the brightest little sunshine in our home... his smiles and hugs light up the world. His smiles go on for miles. He loves to bring me flowers or other random leaves or sticks, knowing that I will adore it all. He loves to be just like his big brother in all he does. <br />

Hyrum is growing so fast and bring so much joy to every one of my days. He is a pleasure to mother. He is sweet, loving, gives great hugs and kisses, and totally adores his mamma. And I soak. it. up. I'm not perfect but it is to good to go to bed at night knowing that (although I didn't do as much as I'd hoped), I've done my best and I've cherished every moment possible with my sweet babies. Again, not perfectly, but I'm happy and content with the amount I do, and also, I still want to improve. But I'm so glad I take the time to say 'yes' and to receive snuggles and kisses and to "look mom" a hundred times a day. But back to Hyrum. He is growing up so fast - has recently showed interest in going potty in the potty, and is learning new words all the time. I LOVE this stage! It is soo much fun! I love them learning and discovering their world. He also wants so much to do everything his brothers do. Which is scary at times since they're little monkeys and super active and busy. It's good though. I'm glad he has good boys to look up to. He gives random hugs throughout the day, and I love it when he pulls my face toward him with his sweet little hands. I love cuddling with him at night. I'm so glad I've learned to soak that time up and not be in a rush to get done putting them to sleep. He's started repeating prayers after us and it is so sweet to see the beginnings of little seeds of testimony being planted in his little spirit. He is truly a little angel on earth.<br />

As a family, our time is spent reading great books (A Christmas Carol right now), chatting, sharing meals and walking around the airport. Brandon is loving flight lessons and is finally soloing! It's amazing to think that my husband is flying airplanes by himself! I'm so excited for him and proud of him. He's also super excited about a new panoramic x-ray machine he's getting in the office. We work hard and play hard. The boys LOVE to wrestle with their dad each night after work, and even Haylee too sometimes. We love spending time at home together and have recently loved going on a couple trips to Southern California with Brandon while he went to a dental course. We loved visiting the Natural History Museum and the Science Center and are so excited about so many fun things we get to study in the near future. I love that we have the freedom to learn about and study whatever we want!<br />

Much of our 'curriculum' this past year (so far) has been teaching the kids about work, and routines and responsibilities, along with decluttering in preparation for our move. We do our 'charts' every morning and it is so fun to hear the kids talking amongst themselves about 'getting up early to get our charts done so we can play' or whatever. Love it! They're getting pretty good at it and even Aaron has done much of it himself the last few days!<br />

Me... (by the way, although I honestly feel a bit vain putting pictures of myself up and talking about myself, I feel its important to get myself in my story and to record myself for my children so here you are.) I'm loving photography, even though I don't get to spend much time on it right now. This is a phase for getting into homeschooling and I've been learning so much about it and it feels great to stretch my mental muscles. My time is spent on the above.... my wonderful and beautiful family and I love it. I truly, completely love it. I'm sooo incredibly blessed and lucky to be living my dream. People tell me often that I'm such a good mom and although I'm not sure they'd say that if they actually lived with me, I do feel like I'm a *pretty* good mom. And very much look forward to filling in my weaknesses.<br />
<br />
There are so many things I'm not doing, we aren't doing, and so many things I wish I could do that I just don't have enough time for, but I'm trying to appreciate the challenge of learning to do less and be okay with it. I know the Lord is teaching me something through these struggles and am grateful for the opportunity to grow.<br />
<br />
I adore my amazing family and am blessed beyond measure. This is a sweet time in my life. Life is beautiful.

There's a great spot near us and it was so much fun. Aaron had a great day and it was so fun to celebrate the sweet spot he holds in our family. He was so precious - he ended the day in tears... I'm not really sure why, but I think it was a combination of being overwhelmed from a busy day, and being tired, but also feeling loved and maybe a little bit sad he wasn't three anymore. Like I said, I'm not sure, but he got weepy when I told him goodnight and asked if he had a great day and happy birthday. Such a sweet angel. We're so blessed to have his sunlight in our lives.<br />

We were able to see and do so many neat things. There was an amazing nature center, a blacksmith shop, some old Native American ruins, tepees, an original Mormon pioneer cabin, a museum, and Sutter's Mill where gold was first discovered. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> T</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">he kids got to pan for gold which they loved.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We also got to spend some time playing at the river which was awesome. It was so fun to spend time with friends, and especially my sweet kiddos. I absolutely LOVE home education</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and am incredibly grateful I found and have this opportunity to teach my children all day long on a daily basis. (By the way, I intend to do several posts on home education - including why we've chosen it, and why I'm calling it home education instead of homeschooling, but those will come later.) I didn't bring my camera on our last homeschool field trip and I regretted it, so armed with my new camera, new lens and awesome new camera bag which I adore!!, off we went and I was also able to have some fun taking pictures while we were at it. AND I was able to get part of the kids' Christmas presents, (some field guides for their 'adventure bags' I'm putting together), so that was great too! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Such a great day. Warning: p</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">icture overload. Enjoy. :)</span><br />

Happy Thanksgiving!</span>Crystal Deverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16382679233580012888noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426058300048178121.post-89860572619704814362014-11-09T23:02:00.001-08:002014-11-09T23:09:54.530-08:00Not Catching UpOkay so obviously I'm not going to be able to catch up from my looooong sabatical, but suffice it to say we have another baby now (Hyrum) and we moved to Auburn and Brandon bought a dental practice! Yay! We're loving the whole lot of it and are very grateful for our beautiful days. But then, most of you already know about most of that anyway thanks to facebook. So obviously my reason for blogging has changed a bit from when I started, as I keep pretty up to date on most people and on us through facebook. But I can't really go into detail on facebook or share our stories like I can here, so that's why I've been wanting to pick this back up. Especially now that we're home educating... I want to be able to share what a wonderful and amazing adventure this is and I also want to be able to share my testimony amongst our every day. So here I am... restarting this bad boy. :)<br />
<br />
I have a lot I'm excited to share, but for now I'm just going to drop some recent-ish pictures in here that I love. :) Enjoy.<br />

My friend <a href="http://elizabethjanephoto.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Liz</a> called me up the other day to see if I wanted to go do a photoshoot with her for fun. I was so excited because it's been awhile since I'd really done any intentional photography. She's doing beautiful things with her camera, and I jumped at the chance to see her at work.</div>

So off we went to the 'woods' by our house, five kids and two cameras in tow. Even though I spent much of the time chasing Aaron away from the water, I had a blast and it was sooo good to get out with my camera - it's way too rare for me. I love these shots I got of my beautiful kiddos. I'm so glad I am able to capture these precious moments.</div>

I can't believe this baby boy is already 9 months old!! (And now, almost 10!) He is one of the brightest lights of my life. His smile lights up the world. <br />
<br />

<br />
-He is starting to take a few steps at a time! We thought he'd be walking by 9 months, but thankfully he wasn't.<br />
-He's still a tank.<br />
-He's starting to like food more. He pretty much skipped baby-food stage and went straight to regular food. He just never really liked the mushed up stuff.<br />
-He's a happy, happy baby... everyone adores him. He has the greatest smile in the world.<br />
-He's a super fast crawler... we can't believe his speed.<br />
-He loves getting everything he shouldn't... but what baby is any different? :)<br />
-He ADORES his brother and sister. He thinks they're the greatest in the world.<br />
<br />
Preview of 10 months:<br />
-He's saying 'mama' and 'dada' in context. <br />
-He just learned to wave! Soo cute!<br />
-He's walking lots of steps - 3-4 at a time. He's starting to let go and turn around and step away from things on his own.<br />
-He's able to wander around and play by himself for long periods of time now. That's wonderful!<br />
-He LOVES the water - he dives for the sink and loves to crawl quickly toward the bathtub and stand up by it. He protests-much when I take him out of any kind of water - ie. washing his hands.<br />
-I call him 'Bubbies' a lot, and sometimes "Bubs" and "Bubs-a-wubs-a"<br />
<br />
We love this little bug sooo much!!! He is such a joy.<br />

Yep - Its true. I'm officially no longer a twenty-something. Now I'm a wise, mature, experienced woman. (Yeah-right!!!!) I'm 30 anyway. Heh...<br />
It's good being 30. I don't feel 30, but I guess I never will. I think that's a good thing. I've been playing the song "<a href="http://www.lyricsdemon.com/67595/tim-mcgraw/my-next-3-years/">In My Next Thirty Years</a>" in my head a lot lately, and I've been grateful I don't have regrets like he does in the song. I feel like my first thirty years were a success, and I also look forward to the next thirty. Of course, there's plenty I still intend to do better... but I'm happy with myself in the past ones.<br />
<br />
I had a wonderful birthday, filled with wonderful family, some great friends (it was so much fun getting buzzed from facebook texts on my phone all day from birthday wishes) and especially my amazing husband. He so thoughtfully took me to a place he heard about that he knew I'd love (Boudins) because I like sourdough bread. It was so sweet of him and it was so great to eat outside and enjoy the ambiance of the fountains. Then I got to go pick out a present from Vera Bradly (did you know they give you a $20 gift certificate for your birthday?! Sweet!!) Love their stuff and look forward to spending my $20 each year. It was a good day. Thank you so much to each of you who were a part of it.<br />

Photo curtosity of Haylee - she was so adorable. It was completely her idea to take the picture. She got everything all set up and took about twenty shots. (I have no idea where she got that from... cough, cough) She kept looking at the picture and she'd say "That's a good one," or "I got it." She also set up a whole 'nother scene but wasn't able to take the picture. She was so cute putting it all together though - placing things just so... Its going to be so much fun being a 'photographer' with her.</div>

It started the day before with a special dinner out with Mommy & Daddy. This is a tradition my parents started with me and I really wanted to do with my kids. We got dressed up and went on a 'fancy' date to a sit-down restaraunt with just Haylee. (Olive Garden) She had a wonderful time and felt so special. I can't believe my little baby girl is such a big girl. I know its been said a million times before, but 'where does the time go?' It really flies away so quickly that I just can't keep up! I'm so grateful for every moment I've had to spend with this beautiful, precious amazing little girl. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.<br />

Quick shot in the parking lot just before we went into the school... this is a genuine smile of excitement and happiness due to the fact that she's about to go to Kindergarten for the first time. I looked down at her and this was the huge smile that was showing on her sweet face. It was the most excited I'd seen her about it. It was a great feeling.</div>

Putting my blown kiss on her cheek... Mrs. Manos read the story <u>The Kissing Hand</u> so Haylee was putting my kiss on her cheek as we were saying goodbye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I'd be okay leaving her... but it was a lot more sad for me than I expected. I was glad for the little baggie of gifts Mrs. Manos gave us - including a tissue. Its hard to let my baby girl leave my wing. Its hard to share her with someone else. Worth it, I know... but still hard.</div>

Here's what I wrote about her going off to school:<br />
<br />
Dear World,<br />
Today, I sent you my baby girl. My beautiful, precious little princess. From now on, I will have to share her with you. And I'm okay with that... mostly. Please treat her well... she is so tender and has such a big heart. She, in turn, will make you better in a thousand ways. Be kind to her - she has so much love to give. I adore her completely.<br />
Love, Haylee's Mommy<br />
<br />

After her first day of Kindergarten... so happy and excited! She really was made for school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I guess here's a good place to confess my blunder for posterity...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, my van battery was almost completely dead... I'd been having trouble starting my car for about a week. So after I got the boys after taking Haylee to school, I took the car in to get a new battery. Afterwards, I did a little shopping at the store, and when I got back in the car, I saw that I still had about an hour and a half left and thought about how it was more time than I thought I'd have and I did really well in the store. So I headed home to make Haylee some chocolate chip cookies so the house smelled like homemade cookies when she got home from her first day of school. On the way I figured I had time to stop in the cell phone store to ask about a couple accessories for my phone. Which was dead at the time, even though I had tried to charge it, so while I was there I also asked why it wasn't starting up (it had been giving me issues...). So she restarted it, and when she did, I got a bunch of text messages that had come while it was dead. I didn't think anything of them, and then I got a call from the girl I carpool with, and when I did, I noticed the time on my phone... it was 3:48... EIGHT MINUTES AFTER I WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK MY LITTLE GIRL UP FROM HER FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!!! Apparently, my car clock was off because of the battery change, but not off enough for me to realize it was totally wrong!! And just by coincidence, my cell phone which also would have given me the correct time, was ALSO broken. So my time was completely off and I completely missed my baby girl's face as she walked out of her classroom from her first day of school EVER. I'll never see that beautiful face of joy and excitement, and I'll never get a picture of it. A little dramatic, perhaps, but its how I felt and I was heartbroken. Of all the timing and dirty rotten luck.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So anyway, I was able to get home and luckily a good friend had given me some chocolate chip cookies a couple days earlier so I was at least able to have a chocolate chip cookie waiting for her when she got home from her first day of school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She had such a great day, and absolutely LOVES school. She's a darling girl.</div>

My brother returned home from his mission!! He was away for two years sharing the good news in a Boise, Idaho Spanish speaking mission. He came back a different person. It was so good to have him here for a couple short weeks before he went BACK to Idaho, this time to BYU-I. We were lucky to get a second (although only barely, the they're rushed) to take a couple family pictures while so many of us were here (although we still missed some - my two bonus sisters and bonus brother.) One of these days we'll get a picture of ALL of us!<br />

Isn't is lovely?? I just adore it. She brought it from my Great Aunt Zell's house, which is really neat because I remember going to visit Aunt Zell since I was a little girl. Thanks so much mom!<br />

<br />
~Aaron's a smiley, sweet, precious little boy. His stomach issues are totally gone... its hard to remember that he was ever so fussy! He's such a sweet, happy little boy now.<br />
~He rolled over once... (on the 1st) on the counter from his front to his back. He hasn't done it again since, but he's ready to any time though.<br />
~He's still a big boy. 95th percentile in length and 85th in weight. But apparently he has a small head... only 35th in head circumference. <br />
~Dr. said we could start him on solids soon... he's not keeping food in his body for very long - its going through really fast.<br />
~He's grabbing at toys well.<br />
~He found his feet! And started playing with them some.<br />
~He's starting to sit up... not sitting up yet, but he kinda leans over his legs...<br />
~He's giggling lots. Such a cutie.<br />
~We're (still) loving every minute with this precious babe. I adore him completely.<br />

Click the photo collage above to go to the photo album of Easter pictures. We had a great few days of fun Easter activities and are grateful for all the time we got to spend with wonderful family and friends!<br />
<br />
I had so much fun making the kids' outfits... I've never really sewed clothes before and it was a good challenge. I love how they came out and had fun doing it. <br />

We had a wonderful day today ~ sweet baby Aaron was blessed by his daddy on his 3 month birthday. It was of course a beautiful blessing and I am so lucky to have such an amazing <a href="http://lds.org/study/topics/priesthood?lang=eng"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">priesthood </span></a>holder for a husband. We were so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family members join us for this special day.<br />

Also to be celebrated today is Aaron's 3 month birthday! I am just so so so grateful for this sweet baby in my life. I cherish every moment with him. I love holding him and cuddling him and just always want him to be close to me. It is going so fast. And even though I expect it to, I wish it could be a little slower. I am so grateful for the time I have though. I adore this little baby. He is so precious to me.<br />
<br />
Aaron at 3 months:<br />
~He is finally settling down as far as the crying is concerned! I don't don't think he ever really was colicy, but he did and still does have some tummy-gas problems... just milk coming faster than he can handle it sometimes which makes his tummy rumble and growl and hurt. I think that's getting better though. He is having more and more happy and awake spells.<br />
~This kid's a tank! He weighed about 15.5 lbs a week ago. My friend's 7 month old little girl weighs 16 lbs! He didn't used to have many 'rolls' either, but he's sure gotten them this month. I used to tell people he wasn't really 'chunky' but was just solid. Now he's solid and chunky. I love it.<br />
~He loves to be held and carried around. (I know, what baby doesn't, but I still thought I'd mention it.) We love holding him and carrying him around.<br />
~He giggled! He gave us some all-out belly chuckles a couple days ago. His first laugh went to his Ahma two or three weeks ago. And then yesterday Grandpa Miller was playing with him and he got him to giggle over and over. I got a video of it so I'll have to put that up here sometime.<br />
~Aaron is super strong. He's totally holding his head up. We don't even worry about it anymore really. He likes to stand on his legs too. He pushes way up off the ground from on his tummy.<br />
~He's really grabbing at toys now. He'll swat at them a lot and even grab them every once in awhile. He likes his alone time playing with his toys on the ground every now and then. We also got out the jumparroo this month and he sits in it great. He totally supports himself.<br />

Even though I expect it, I'm still always amazed at how fast it goes. This month has been a bit rough (that's kind of an understatement...) but things look like they've maybe possibly started getting a little bit better, maybe possibly. We'll see. Aaron cries... a lot. We've gone back and forth about whether or not we think he has colic. Either way, he's pretty fussy and obviously has a lot of pain in his tummy. But he's had more and longer spells of happiness this week, so that's been nice. We've finally been able to enjoy him awake and happy for a little bit! That's been really fun. So here's his two month picture. (Scroll past the first two pictures.)<br />

</tbody></table>Aaron at 2 Months:<br />
-He's smiling! Its the most beautiful thing. Not many things more precious than a baby's smile. We're LOVING this part.<br />
-Lots of crying! Lots of gas and air in the tummy. More happy time this past week though. That's been nice.<br />
-Old man face<br />
-Diaper rash finally went away! (He's had it almost since he was born!) We're still putting desitin on every time though to keep it away.<br />
-Totally holds his head up. He's really strong... and solid. <br />
-13 lbs at last weigh-in. Dr. appointment tomorrow... we'll see what the latest is.<br />
-Loves to be held. (What baby doesn't?) He does love his alone-time sometimes too.<br />
-Loves the lip touching game - when I brush my fingers over his lips he smiles almost every time.<br />
-He's usually happy on the changing table - lots of smiles.<br />
-He's starting to reach for things! <br />
-Nursing is still going well... my milk comes really fast sometimes and he can't keep up. He also gets big bubbles in him so he comes off coughing and crying in pain. Poor guy!<br />
-He's a good sleeper at night. We both get lots of sleep and are very grateful. <br />
-Not such a good sleeper during the day, unless he's held and there's either a lot of noise or silence. Anything in between and he wakes up pretty easily.<br />
-Good and bad and everything inbetween, we love it all with this sweet baby boy. We're so blessed to have him.Crystal Deverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16382679233580012888noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426058300048178121.post-70887086837026298662011-01-12T23:32:00.000-08:002011-01-12T23:32:44.766-08:00He's Here! (He's a Month Old!!)He's here! Our beautiful sweet baby boy is (finally!!) here! He sure took his time (2 weeks late by my count... I'll explain that later), but we're so grateful he's finally here and we've been able to enjoy him this past month. I'm going to post about his first month now while it's fresh, and I'll have to get back to his birth later.<br />

One Month! For the records, here's what our baby boy is like at this time:<br />
<br />
~Aaron has been holding his head up basically from day one. He'd lift it off our shoulders and look around for brief periods at a time. He's getting stronger and stronger with it, and now lifts and holds it up for quite long periods of time.<br />
~I think he may have colic. I'm still not exactly sure if it is or not, but I do know he cries a lot. If he's awake he's pretty much always crying. His happy spells are for about 5-10 minutes at a time and then he's mad again.<br />
~He weighs 11 1/2 pounds!<br />
~He's very strong, and very sturdy<br />
~His brother and sister adore him - always want to hold him and touch him. They're very sweet to him. <br />
~Just starting to smile! Just this past week. Its soo sweet and I love it! <br />
~Loves the kissy game... that's when he smiles the most. But also sometimes when I smile at and talk to him.<br />
~He's just about ready to grow out of his newborn clothes. They're getting pretty tight! I'm trying to enjoy them just a little longer.<br />
~He's nursing well.<br />
~He rolled over on our bed when was like a week or two old. He was on his back and he arched his back and rolled onto his tummy.<br />
~He's pretty cuddly. I love it when he snuggles.<br />
~He's the sweetest little baby in the world and we all adore him so much.Crystal Deverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16382679233580012888noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426058300048178121.post-31661421416091115102010-12-24T22:24:00.000-08:002010-12-24T22:24:45.323-08:00Merry Christmas!! and Christmas card!Merry Christmas to each and every one of you, my dear family and friends.
