My cute boys, and Linford's Obsession

My SWEET boys
I have loved having children, obviously....I had 3 of them in 4 years....BUT I never knew it was going to be the way it is. It's so fun and I wouldn't change it FOR ANYTHING. Not to travel, not to have more money, not for alone time, not to have my old "tighter" body back, not for ANYTHING.
I am so thankful for the GOOD times AND the BAD.
It has made my life worth living.
I look at this picture and it just fills my heart with joy.
This is not the reason I am posting these pictures
.


My intention was to show you how obsessed OUR
"Linny"
is with his
"Bobby"
(His Pacifier)

and
"Billy & Cheeto"
(His elephant and monkey)
He will not go anywhere without the three of them.
Not ANYWHERE.
Not even anywhere in the house.

There are times that he'll hide them if he needs his hands for something and that is the worst, cause he forgets where he hides them. Luckily, I have learned his hiding places. I have had to convince him that they don't take the same kind of baths that he does.
He wants them to swim, eat, to watch t.v., play basketball, everything.
It is really sweet, and yet
very stressful and sometimes
annoying.



This is the picture that made me want to do this post.
He came to me the other day, with a
BIG HUGE SMILE
He had gone and found all the "bobby's" in the entire house.
It was like he had found a
POT of GOLD
I just had to laugh. He is so attatched. I thought that Hewitt was bad at this age, and Linny's attatchment is even WORSE.
I think what I have found MORE annoying than ANYTHING though,
is when people TAKE IT AWAY
and say, "ohhhh you don't need this." thinking its funny or something.....
ALL the while he is screaming, crying upset.
I just think its cruel. Why take it away???
So he'll hate you?
He's so sweet, just let him be.

Desitin

Linford
Today I was letting the kids have "free time" while I did my Saturday Cleaning. I can usually count on Hewitt to tell me if Linford is getting into TrOUbLe.
Hewitt came running in a frantic,
"Mom, Mom, Linny got into the desitin AGAIN!!!"
Yes, this has happened more than once, more than twice- actually too many times to count.
It doesn't matter how hard I try to keep it out of reach- he finds it. I usually get mad or bugged and then after I clean him up, I always I wish I would have taken a picture.
Well this time, Hewitt, Linford and I laughed and laughed while we took pictures.
Probably not good, cause now he thinks its funny.
-BUT-
it turned a potentially angry moment into a fun, smiling, laughing one.
The funny thing too, is I didn't clean him off till I was done with cleaning the house an hour or two later and he didn't even care or notice.
It was really cute too, cause Hewitt kept saying,
"Oh Linny, you are just so cute!"
and then they would giggle together.

Happy Birthday Tayden!
One of our best little buddies is turning the big #2!
Josh and Christina are some of our best friends and we are so thankful to have Tayden be such good friends with our little guys. Christina and I are always so impressed with them because they play so well together. We'll always laugh at them, joking that they act just like their daddies. One day when they are at eachothers weddings being eachothers "best-man" they'll have alot of memories, video-footage- and pictures to remember this wonderful time.

We love you Tayden and are so glad you are in our lives!!!

Tub Time

Linny in his favorite Bee Towell....
Just look at those big BROWN eyes, He's such a little stud.


Hewitt kissing Harper for the millionth time, as usual. Harper is such a good sport. He gets mauled by his two big brothers who just adore him.

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day Daddy
There aren't really any words that could describe how wonderful of a father Brandon is. I am so thankful to have such an amazing man to be the father of my children. WE LOVE YOU!

Brandon and Hewitt at Sekura for "Fathers Day Dinner" on Saturday night.

The morning of Fathers Day. Linford is holding the golf club we bought Daddy and Hewitt is holding the breakfast we made him. Harper is just being cute. Hewitt made a plate at Color Me Mine for Brandon. It was so cute and he was SO PROUD of it. He kept saying, "oh Mommy, Daddy is going to LLLLLLOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEE this"

Today Hewitt slipped and bonked his head on the hot tub. For how hard he hit, it didn't leave too bad of a mark. Its amazing how I have learned- not to make a big deal out of things like that. My kids totally feed off my reaction. Good or Bad. I said, "how about we get a band-aid and it will feel all better" the tears stopped and WOW, who would have ever guessed that a band aid can make miracles happen! SO that is why he has this band aid on his head. I couldn't get him to take it off. He wore it ALL DAY.That is not why I took this picture....
Hewitt ALWAYS wants to kiss, hug, talk and play with Harper. I was organizing some things on the floor, and of course Hew asked if he could hold Harper. They sat on the couch for a good 30-45 minutes and Hewitt had Harper laughing and talking.
It was so sweet.

Harper is getting so BIG

Harper is 13 weeks
He's getting so big and its so much fun to watch him grow and change. These pictures are pretty plain, but He was being so cute I just had to take some pictures. Who do you think he looks like?


Just look at that fat little hand.






















He is so well mannered. Thank goodness too! What would I do? Or I should say, what "WILL" I do?!?





















"okay mommy, enough pictures already"

Harpers' Special Day
Blessing Day May 3d 2009

Harper is now 3 months old and such a wonderful little addition to our family. I was worried after having two little perfect babies, that my third would be hard. He has been just as perfect as the others.. Now lets cross our fingers for the fourth child!!!

He has been smiling, laughing, sleeping through the night, holds his head up great, and he's ticklish now! We are having so much fun with him.

Checkin' In With The McBrides!

It's been so crazy around the McBride house these past few months, but here's a quick up-date.

Little Harper is getting so big and changing every day, we just love his happy little smile.

Yay!! we sold our home to a wonderful little family, they will be moving in the first day of June. We feel so blessed to have been able to actually sell a home in this economy, but we did it!!! Hooray for us.

We are so excited for our move to Edgemont. Our new home is a boys Paradise (thanks to our dear friends the Merrill's) It is nestled up on the Mountain in Provo surrounded by beautiful woods, Trees, Deer and who knows what else, but the boys just love it there.

We will miss our old neighborhood and ward but most of all we will miss the greatest neighbors and friends anyone could ever ask for.
