Then there was Four

OK, so I have facebook to thank for the lag in blogging! Apparently it's been about 6 months since my last post, and since then Izak Michael Teague was born on June 9th, he weighed in at 7lbs 8oz and 20 inches long, Kailani is now 16 months and is getting used to this whole big sister thing. I can't really figure out who Izak looks like yet, but he was totally born with a full head of black hair and a bit of a tan! Hopefully in the next month we will be able to see who he resembles the most. We also got to take some new family pictures thanks to Tiffany, she does such an awesome job, too bad Kailani wasn't feeling it so much that day, she was being pretty honoree so we were only able to get a couple of pictures of her. Other than that our life has been pretty much the same, but a bit more hectic since we have a newborn and a toddler!

In the past month we also got to meet our precious niece Reagan, she was born in March, but with Dana's job and me being pregnant we weren't able to visit her until Cindy & Dana's brother Seth came to visit the week after Izak was born. She is an absolute cutie! I can't believe how fast she's grown, and how her personality is already showing. These are the times we wish we lived closer to all of our family so our kids could grow up together, and not just see them through pictures. So we really hope that you guys (Seth & Cindy) could be up here with us soon! :)

This weekend was also 4th of July so we started off be watching the firework show at USU on Friday, Cruise in car show on Saturday and finished off by having dinner and fireworks on Sunday at my parents house. This year was a little more low key, but more enjoyable since we got to see Kailani's reaction to the fireworks. Anyway I'll try to keep this thing as updated as I can from now on!

It's been quite a while since I posted a blog, we've been so busy lately that I've totally forgotten. Anyway here's a little update on our babies!

First off, just a couple weeks ago we found out our 2nd baby is a boy! We are totally excited, but boy picking boy names is harder than I thought. Dana and I can't come to any kind of decision or any name we both like. And as far as we know the baby is healthy and growing normally, I think as a 2nd time mom I can now feel the baby move earlier and I can distinguish between the baby and gas. lol Anyway here's our first ultrasound picture of Baby Teague #2.

As far as Kailani goes, I can't believe she's already going to be 1, she's grown so fast and gotten so big. Just 2 weeks ago she started all by herself, and mimicking everything Dana and I do, its so funny to watch her be so silly. She also has gotten a lot of new hair (thank God) and she's talking a lot more and definatley getting into everything, she's also starting to play with all of her toys she didn't quite like 2 months ago. Anyway I'll quit boring you and have you watch the entertaining videos of Kailani. sorry they are a little hard to see, our light in our house is bad at night.

Busy times

Wow, I feel like I haven't blogged in a while. This past month has been so busy, I went to California once more before the year was over, we celebrated Thanksgiving, and Kailani has been extremely active, oh and we found out we were definately pregnant! I think that was the biggest surprise seeing as to how we so weren't ready, but I guess we're on this pregnancy ride one more time.
As far as California, that was another one of my random trips. My parents ended up selling their restaurant and were taking a trip so I decided I would join them. I was so happy to be able to see my sister and her kids, my grandparents and Dana's family. Kailani isn't used to seeing them and it breaks my heart that she wouldn't let anyone hold her, I really feel bad, but she's at the stage where she now remembers faces and if she doesn't know you she won't let go of mommy! Anyway we had lots of fun seeing everyone, even though we were so busy the 4 days we were there went by way to fast.
Anyway, this past month I also learned how to use a sewing machine and yesterday I made a canopy cover for Kailani's car seat. She keeps kicking off the blankets and keeping blankets on top is a hassle so I've seen people with them around town and decided to make one for her, and it came out so cute! Oh we also got some family pictures taken, which I was super excited for since they were our first family pictures! And Tiffany did such a good job, here are some of my fav.

I wanted to do a fun pattern for the inside and this is what I came up with

I think this one is priceless

what a pretty princess

One of my fav

just bc mommy's the best! lol

Decorating Fun

Yesterday was such a blast, I woke up excited as can be to decorate Kailani's room! Since she was born I've been trying to create a cute girly, vintage look, but I had failed so far. Well I went to Joann's and bought fabric for curtains and borrowed my mom for the day! lol We also went to Hobby lobby where I bought these cute hooks for the curtains and a cute light switch cover! It all turned out so cute, I originally thought I'd use green ribbon for the curtain, but the brown looked a lot better so we went with that. I also ended up painting her name to a lighter pink since they were hot pink before, and I was going to hang them on ribbon, but I didn't have enough of the right color, so I ended up just glueing ribbons on the actual letters!
Anyway I ended up finishing around 7 last night but I love how it came together.

I love this

My sister in law Nicole was also over last night and since we had the sewing machine, we decided to play with it and try to make some blankets! Little did we know we'd succeed, they came out looking really good for first timers! Luckily, Nicole has taken sewing classes and she kinda remembered certain things to do! lol Anyway here are the blankets we made and I even made a little burpy cloth, I think for now we've agreed on sticking to sewing in straight lines! lol

I loved this material & the bright colors!

pretty good I would say!

October in General

So this past month has been kinda crazy. I started the month by getting a gym membership and started working out, I even lost a couple of lbs, and I was feeling good about myself; well at least that lasted for two weeks. We also attended a Halloween party and did things around the house.
Oh we also got Kailani walking up the stairs, but she still doesn't know what to do about coming back down, it's one the cutest things because she gets so happy that she can do it. She also is talking a lot more, I even caught her at church making noises while we were singing the hymns, I think she's starting to understand a lot more.

Other than that I should also say that my work out only lasted for two weeks because I quickly found out that Dana and I are expecting baby #2! It was a total surprise and we're still trying to figure out how everything happened so quickly and still at least I'm still in disbelief. Dana on the other hand handled it pretty well, he's trying to be supportive and look at the positive side, but I'm still kinda on the back burner. But with enough prayer and positive thinking I know I will get better at accepting the fact that I've got another baby on the way.

On a lighter note, Halloween was pretty fun, we went to our church Harvest festival on Friday night which was so much fun with all the kids dressed up and the games. On Saturday I dressed up Kailani as a pumpkin and she was such a cute,happy pumpkin we didn't do much trick or treating because she's still so small, but we did give out candy to all the trick or treaters. Hopefully next year will be more of an active Halloween for Kailani.

it's been a while

I think my blog is at a much needed update! My camera broke the last time I went to California, which has all to do with why I haven't blogged, but I finally found my old camera that works almost as good.

So here are a couple of updates:

First off, Kailani is turning 8 months today! It's so totally insane how fast she has grown, time sure has flown by! In the past 3 to 4 weeks she has stood on her own, gotten her first tooth and started making the funniest faces! She is such a blast to have around when no one else is here, sometimes I catch myself talking to her at the store and I think people think I must be crazy! lol

We also managed to find her Halloween costume, at this big Halloween store in town, I decided to make her a Pumpkin and she looks so cute in her outfit!

Oh I also forgot to mention she sips juice out of juice boxes! I'm sure she is doing much more, but it seemslike its something new everyday, I can't keep upith her! lol

We also got invited to a costume party this last weekend so Dana was originally going to be a baseball player, but he ended up being Michael Jackson instead! lol It was so funny to see him dressed up as Michael, and I decided I would be a Police-woman just for fun! Dana's brother Chuck, was the funniest, he went as a trailer park redneck, and his wife as a cute clown! It was such a good night, playing games and eating some delish dip! Now we just need to decide whether we will be having a Halloween party or not, I've been trying to convince Dana but he hasn't budged just yet.

Game Day

Last weekend we went to the USU game! Dana's friend Robbie plays for Southern Utah University, and they happened to play USU this last weekend so he got us tickets to watch them play. It was really exciting to see Kailani at her first football game, she behaved pretty good for having to sit there for 3 hours and having teething pains.

Anyway it was a really good game I even ended up getting into it, I thought we would get into an altercation if we wore Red at the Aggies stadium so I played it safe and wore a neutral color! Those Aggies fans sure are something else, and unfortunately they ended up winning the game in the end!

On a side note, Kailani is definately getting her first tooth, it's no wonder she was so whinny all week. I can already see the tooth peeking out ( how stinken cute)- I also had a random thought about this whole tooth thing--- I was wondering why doesn't it hurt babies gums when they only have one tooth? Interesting question right? Anyway good nite!
