Like, a long time. But I had an experience the other day that made me and Nate have a good chuckle at our current stage in life, so I have to document it. <br />
<br />Our ward was having a ward "camp out." I quoted it because it wasn't really a camp out, just an all day activity in the mountains. Dinner was (as usual) an adventure. They were serving dutch oven potatoes, BBQ pork sandwiches, and watermelon. Since Rachael has decided she "doesn't like potatoes" (anoying.), and Whitney does everything her big sis does, I knew it was down to the sandwiches, more specifically the bun, and watermelon. I have a phobia of my kids becoming "those kids" who whine and cry about everything placed in front of them. Rachael is currently one of "those kids," but she's still young and has been eating quite a few of her dinners for next day breakfast to break her of her whining. Its a work in process. I was the only one at the activity with kids age 6 and 3. All the other kids were either old enough to do as they were told, or young enough to get their way. Our 30 minutes of meal time was spent me forcefully telling R and W that if they didn't eat their sandwich, they wouldn't get any watermelon or cookies. Most of the people there were newlyweds, or child-less, and I'm sure their minds were full of judgement. Call me in 8 years when you have your own kids (not babies), then tell me what you think. (Seth ate his potatoes like a champ.)<br /><br />
Then the big thing that made us chuckle. A small family arrived and started feeding their 1 year old daughter. Once they started giving her bites of watermelon, the following conversation ensued:<br /><br />Dad: "Oh man. You do know she's soaking her shirt with watermelon juice, right?" <br />Mom: "Yes, and I didn't even bring her another outfit! If I was a <i>good</i> mom, I would have at least brought a bib. Oh well."<br />Dad: "But won't she get cold?"<br />Mom: "I do have an extra onesie and I do have a sweater." {Sorry, doesn't that count as an extra outfit?}<br />Dad: "Maybe we should stop giving it to her."<br />Mom: "You're right, we don't want her to have too much sugar anyway."<br /><br />Oh jeez... Lets take a gander over at my baby, poor little #3. Little Seth, in his stroller, gnawing away on an entire piece of watermelon. You want to talk about soaked with watermelon juice, literally the entire front of his shirt was SOAKED. And, through the evening, I also let him sit on ground and he occasionally put rocks in his mouth. After he was done with his watermelon, I gave him a cookie. Mother of the Year, right here. And guess what. I. Don't. Care. He was happy, I was happy. In my years of mothering, I've learned that whatever works for your family is what you should do, don't worry about anyone else. But we were in their same shoes five years ago. Making sure to bring extra clothes, extra food, antiseptic wipes, diaper rash cream, the works. Now when I look in my diaper bag, I'm lucky if I have a diaper that fits the baby. Parenting changes so fast.<br /><br />We left a few minutes after dinner ended. I came home, bathed all three kids (huge accomplishment!), and made my husband put them to bed. <br /><br />(Additional Note: The dad mentioned above was also heard by Nate saying, "Do you want to take a turn chasing her?" Oh man, those were the days. Now Nate and I each chase one of of big kids while poor little Seth is left to fend for himself. On the ground. With rocks in his mouth.)Nate and Erin Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02196513263378193953noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198534885107187357.post-44419497396854063742014-01-25T21:57:00.003-07:002014-01-25T21:57:59.126-07:00Sea World 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We got to go to Sea World one last time before the documentary <i>Blackfish </i>came out. Never seen it, but apparently we can never go back to Sea World. But while we were there the girls loved it!<br /></div>

I'm surprised I was able to choose only 12 of these... My wonderful friend, Melanie Gochnour, took these gorgeous pictures. (Sadly, Melanie has moved to Boise so my fantastic photographer is no longer around...) I sure love this gorgeous little miss of mine!</div>

Rachael's first year of dance was last year. We had a last minute studio change to a lady in the Stake who has a studio in her home. The recital was held at the Stake Center and really kept costs down, but was still fun and we got to see our beautiful daughter dance, which is all that we wanted to do. </div>

My girl's two best friends are Brooklyn and Zelda Conley, and their mom, Tiffany, has become one of my closest friends here in Irvine. They are our favorite people to go to Disneyland with. On this particular day when I was watching these two cuties, they brought some face paints with them. The girls loved it! I definitely need to buy some face paint. We sure love B and Z!</div>

There were a few times dad was able to come with us to Disneyland/California Adventure. When we went in May, we went to see the Aladdin show. The girls loved it, with the elephants coming through the audience and the magic carpet flying over head. Another one of our favorite things to do with daddy were to ride the Ferris wheel and its even one of the few times we actually buy a treat while we're there!</div>

This picture is really awkward... I promise I'm clothed under my smok, just in my swimming suit. This was Whitney's first haircut and she was so adorable through the whole thing! Best part was her curls popped right into place and are now even more curly. Love my girl's curly locks.<br /><br />PS I never mentioned that we announced I was expecting sometime in March. Yep, another kid is on its way! I mention this now because something important happened in April, thankfully while my mom was visiting. I started having a pretty intense pain in the right side of my belly, plus a fever and some vomiting. So what do we do? We look on the internet until we find out what is wrong. I went to my routine Doc appointment in the morning, feeling sickly, but didn't think too much of it. Later that afternoon my pain in my side was worse, and after google-ing it, we thought it would maybe be appendicitis. Nate came home and took me to the insta-clinic that had an ultrasound. They couldn't see anything wrong, but took my blood and had it tested. They told me to call in a few hours for the results. So I did. When I called, they said they recommended I go to the ER because my white blood cell count was elevated. So we hopped on over to the ER. There they took more blood, did another long ultrasound, and found out that.... nothing was wrong. Ugh. I was so annoyed. With myself, the clinic, and the ER. ER visits are VERY expensive. Oh well... At least nothing was wrong, right??</div>

<br />And we went to see Disney Junior Live on Stage. The shows they put on stage are Sofia the First, Doc Mcstuffins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Heaven. On. Earth.

Not much went down in February. I'm sure we went to Disneyland a few
times, but the nice thing about going so much is you kind of relax about
all of the pictures unless something out of the ordinary comes up.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhki8dJv1hfadOIrIZK8I5QxRlbXSTktoR-Fr5_-5iNcLoy9GZNMyKK3Hq1kZK2BWFpZdP3TH-LxThN_azqKoY3O-3t06JWjnU8WZlpI_SqS1QyO_43CTeLQ6lACaxTloGwIe0u1UKK3Wc/s320/P2033080.JPG" width="240" /></div>

One of our few beach trips. My thoughts on the beach are this: A day at the beach is NOT a day at the beach. Parking is a nightmare, there is a lot of sand, which ends up in Whitney's mouth, my children love the water and like to wander into the pulling waves. If I could just spend a relaxing day there, I'd probably go more.<br /></div>

We would try to go once a week with our friends, the Conleys. Rachael and Brooklyn had dance class from 9-10, so we'd really try to get to DL right after class. On this particular day our goal was to see as many princesses as possible. It worked out AMAZINGLY. They had three out at a time, so we saw three, then hopped back in line and saw the next three. Then hopped over to see Merida. Rachael, of course, LOVED it, and walked right up to them with her autograph book. Whitney, surprisingly, loved it too! I was very surprised by how outgoing she was with all these princesses. The princesses were so cute, so in character, and so did not make us feel rushed. It was awesome.<br /></div>

We spent New Years in St. George where we did some quadding. Whit was a smidge too small to be galavanting about the Southern Utah wilderness on a quad, so Grandma and Grandpa drove to the Gypsum mine. Rachael LOVED the gypsum, she was convinced it was diamonds, and I couldn't bear to dash her dreams.<br /></div>

So apparently not much went down in November 2012. As I was looking
through our pictures all I could find was a few pictures from our
Thanksgiving in St. George and a trip the girls and I took to a local
Children's Museum called Pretend City.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1d872OoX9SmSSZ_dg8YwQHKQlueQiEB9hD_gqDDJJcynYeeaIAe3jYCMyvaLamXS5mThu09faOMRudCAjzhuYrhyib7PNMZGJ7mSDcVuLib6IwEImRfFWzhnxncsdpu-KUl3NW4GYCTo/s320/PB232800.JPG" width="320" /></div>

Their favorite part of Pretend City was the dress ups and the stage. I seriously need to get one of those Christmas Tree costumes. The stage was equipped to let the kids control the lighting and the sound. The girls LOVED it, we'd go again if it wasn't so much dang money to get in! (I bought our tickets on Groupon... I'm just cheap like that)</div>

October was a pretty eventful month. The girls and I made a trip to St. George during Rachael's school break. One of the plays that Tuachan did was Aladdin and Rachael had been going through a serious princess Jasmine phase. I <i>knew</i> she needed to go to this play. I was a little apprehensive about her attention span, but she did great! Grandma bought her some popcorn and she just sat her happy self down to watch. After intermission she said, "We go home now?" Unfortunately it was not time to go home, but the flying carpet right after intermission brought her back around. </div>

Just down the road from us they have a pumpkin patch with cheap activities and super expensive pumpkins. The girls loved feeding animals, riding in those quarter machine rides, and jumping in bounce houses. (We didn't get a pumpkin, they really are ridiculously expensive)</div>

I wanted to particularly mention this little girl in the bumblebee costume. Her name was Erin (easy for me to remember) and she was so shy her dad could barely get her though the door. Rachael was always SO SWEET to her. If Erin was standing on the outside of the circle, Rachael would go and take her hand to try to include her. She would always stand by her and try to get her to do what the teacher was teaching. I love my sweet little girl.</div>

So apparently nothing of too much excitement occurred in August, we'll just skip it. :) September brought a huge change to our lives. Nate's oldest sister, Sarah, and her family came to visit and hit up Disneyland. We went on a fun quick trip to the beach where Rachael almost got washed out to sea (thank goodness daddy was right there!). On the last night of Sarah's stay we met them at DL and upgraded their passes, and we became annual passholders to the happiest place on earth! Woot woot! Its been so much fun to go to DL a few times a month. Unfortunately Nate isn't able to come very often... But its still awesome.<br />

Rachael also started dance class! She as LOVED it! And I've loved watching her improve over the last few months. This little girl just tugs at my heart when she dances because dancing was such a huge part of my life a few years ago. I had made the decision to keep her from the dance recital for this year ($80 for a hideous costume and then $20/ticket, plus pictures and I would have to buy a video from them if I wanted footage. Not happening.) but I recently found out about a girl in the Stake who has a studio in her home, and she's letting Rachael and Brooklyn (see below) hop into the class. Now, next month, she'll be dancing to a Disney song in a costume that only cost $45 and a family ticket for $20, including dinner. So fun! I'm so excited!</div>

I don't remember if this was our first Disney day, but they're the first Disney pics I have so lets go with it. We stopped in at Pixie Hollow and got to meet Perriwinkle (Tinkerbelle's sister) and Silvermist. We haven't been back since because the wait is usually at least 60 minutes. We need to do it again though, Rachael needs their autographs!</div>

For a little stroll down memory lane, we headed to Craigos Pizzeria (now American Pizza Pie Cafe, so dumb...). Nate and I had our first date at Craigos, in this same booth, following a harp concert almost exactly six years ago. The girls were CRAAAZY!! I don't know what it was, but Rachael was seriously a lunatic and Whitney was just following along. Its a very relaxed place and every other customer there had kids, so I wasn't entirely concerned about her behavior, but seriously, she was bouncing off the booth walls. I love going back to Rexburg to see all of our old hang outs and places where our family started and grew. </div>

The girls spent a LOT of time eating raspberries, playing with the new litter of puppies, and playing make believe in the grass. Lets not forget tractor rides, picking carrots, feeding chickens, gathering eggs, and looking at the new baby cows. It was so awesome for the girls!!<br />

The end of July we went up to Rexburg for a Russell Family reunion. We did a LOT of water activities. First being going to Egin (ee-gin) Lakes. Super fun, its about two feet deep across the whole thing, perfect for games. Rachael was content to do her own thing, and Whit was busy being busy.<br />

^Thrilled to be going to a parade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a very low key 4th of July. Normally, in UT/ID, we would buy our
own fireworks and light them in the street. In CA, not entirely
possible. Basically our day consisted of a small local parade, swimming,
and a BBQ picnic dinner. After dinner, around 8, we debated on going to
the city's fireworks or heading home to get the girls to bed. Nate, the
fireworks fanatic, voted we put the little grumps to bed. So we did.
Nate and I watched a movie while we listened to the fireworks through
the window. I'll be honest, it was nice to have a stress free holiday. </div>

Dear Rachael,<br />We're here in Rexburg visiting Grandma and Grandpa Russell and it is bringing back SO many memories of this day four years ago. The panic that I felt when the doctor told me I needed to be induced TODAY, the anxiety I felt getting checked into the hospital, the relief I felt at receiving my epidural :), and the indescribable <em>joy</em> I felt when I held you for the first time. That first time was such an amazing moment. I felt no panic, I felt no fear, I only felt love for you. You were the perfect first child, and seeing you grow and learn has been the most fulfilling thing I've ever experienced. Yesterday we went to a pizza restaurant and you were acting <em>crazy, </em>seriously insane, but your dad and I couldn't help but smile and laugh at our spunky, gorgeous girl. Your dad said to me, "Have you had fun with her these last four years?" Of course I have, more fun than I've ever had. Its been rough, and you've been upset with me a fair bit, but we've made it through. You are so kind to others, so polite to everyone you meet, so sweet with your baby sister, so patient with your mom and dad when we're trying to understand you. Every day you learn and improve, and I couldn't be more proud of you. I hope and pray you continue to be the sweet, caring girl you are now. <br /><br />We love you, kid!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUR2cLCnWa3PmF-0b_7RQPvdM-MvGvMlm5uHuO6eJoSgh3lYzXZ8G5SVq0dFGEmgumT0_DSeUx9B6srBxMJUg1qeib64CB8jfruz_wApul8Fnesc2Nb0DG45e6-zuAwiOVPG5mwgX4TI/s1600/P6121710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUR2cLCnWa3PmF-0b_7RQPvdM-MvGvMlm5uHuO6eJoSgh3lYzXZ8G5SVq0dFGEmgumT0_DSeUx9B6srBxMJUg1qeib64CB8jfruz_wApul8Fnesc2Nb0DG45e6-zuAwiOVPG5mwgX4TI/s320/P6121710.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Nate and Erin Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02196513263378193953noreply@blogger.com4
