Oh My!Miss E: "Do bears go potty in the forest?"<div>
Me: "Yes."</div>
<div>
E: "Do lions and tigers go potty in the forest?"</div>
<div>
Me: "They don't live in the forest. They live in a place called the prairies (I realize I was wrong in my response, now.). It's a grassy type of land. And that's where they go potty."</div>
<div>
E: "Why do lions and tigers eat us?"</div>
<div>
Me: "Because they think we are like zebras."</div>
<div>
E: "Do they eat hair?"</div>
<div>
Me: "Maybe. Do you like to eat hair?"</div>
<div>
E: "No."</div>
<div>
Me: "So maybe they don't like it either."</div>
<div>
E: "Do they eat necklaces?"</div>
<div>
Me: "No."</div>
<div>
E: "Why?"</div>
<div>
Me: "Because it's not meat. They like things with meat, like zebras, cows, and chickens."</div>
<div>
E: "Do lions and tigers eat bears?"</div>
<div>
Me: "I don't think so. They don't live in the same place, so I don't think that would happen."</div>
<div>
E: "What does Sven (Frozen character) eat?"</div>
<div>
Me: "Grass."</div>
<div>
E: "Do lions, tigers, and bears eat Sven?"</div>
<div>
Me: "Umm... Yes."</div>
<div>
E: "Why?"</div>
<div>
Me: "He's a deer; that's a type of animal they like to eat."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then I finally cut off the conversation, because she was supposed to be asleep, I had simply stopped by her room to see if she was asleep. All of this because she was looking at her map of the zoo. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At around 2 1/2 years old I survived the "why" stage. It was particularly difficult for me. Hopefully I can survive this inquisitive toddler stage. My parents claim I was the same way. :)</div>

I lost interest in blogging, plus little time with all the chores I should be doing and chasing toddlers around. However, I'm kind of interested in getting back into this blogging thing, so I will recap our fun summer thus far.<br />

<br />
Other brief news:<br />
Jack started nursery. He loves books and learning. He is a super happy boy, and almost always getting into trouble.<br />
Ellie is 3 going on 13 or 30. She loves dressing up, being a princess, and "putting on makeup". (I can wait for the teenage years.) She just started a dance class and is super shy/nervous about it. Hopefully future classes go better than the first. We are also doing preschool at home this year.<br />
Daddy finished his Masters last December. He has moved up in the working world. And he has started taking on some home remodeling projects! (We've only been in the house 2 years... Hey, but at least something is happening now.)<br />
Mommy is loving being at home with 2 toddlers, though I'm usually exhausted by end of the day. I'm enjoying cooking, again, and trying to make us an all REAL food family (i.e. no processed foods). I enjoy teaching my children, though "homeschooling" is difficult to figure out with 2 kids; I can only imagine what it's like with more.<br />
<br />
And....<br />
Two of our favorite things is about to become THREE of our favorite things. We, as parents, will now be outnumbered come mid January. WE LOVE CRAZY. And that's what life will become, I'm sure. But it will be beautiful and blessed with another sweet angel face, and so we are very grateful. We will find out the gender in 2 weeks. I cannot wait to see what we're having. January will be here before we know it.<br />

To answer your question, no, no it's not yet cold here. She was making me sweat looking at her dressed so warmly. I tried telling her it was too hot for a sweater, but she did not care. Later in the day we went to the grocery store, and she actually switched the hat for a beanie! Crazy girl.<br />
<br />
Fedora: Target<br />
Sweatshirt: Old Navy<br />
Tank top: Down East<br />
Leggings: Target<br />
Shoes: Target<br />

Here's a closeup of her shoes. She loves shoes. They're only a few weeks old and already looking pretty worn.<br />

But I did take the picture. It was a lovely morning at the park! I absolutely love this time of year. All summer long we have been going bright and early to the park to beat the heat, but it was still pretty warm. Now when we go, still early because my kids are early birds, it feels wonderful. Best Fall weather around.<br />

I actually was pleased to see what E<br />
picked out yesterday. Other than the bright red socks and shoes, I think she did well. A little belt would've really helped to seal the deal. I especially love the jeggings on this girl (picked out by her daddy).<br />
<br />
Dress (that is now too short but she loves to still wear it): gift for St Patrick's day, I believe it's from Walmart<br />
Jeggings: Target<br />
Socks and Shoes: Target<br />

The day almost escaped before I could sneak a picture in. This is probably one of Ellie's favorite outfits. Pink and purple, her favorite colors, and a skirt. She loves skirts, because then she is a princess. She also loves her red polka dot shoes.<br />
<br />
Shirt: Target<br />
Bubble Skirt: Target<br />
Shoes: Target<br />
Necklace: ribbon with a bell (She actually loves this necklace. I threw it together for her last Christmas while I was decorating for the holidays, to keep her out of my decorations.)<br />
<br />
And I have to sneak in a picture of her brother, because he is a prime example of baby fashion done right, right?? Polo and a diaper. He's rocking it.<br />

Today's outfit, shirt and shorts, was actually chosen by yours truly (we were running low on selection of clothes in the drawer). But Ellie picked out all of her accessories. She loves to accessorize.<br />
<br />
Shirt: Target<br />
Shorts: Target<br />
Shoes: Target<br />
Beanie: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/thingsfromstring" target="_blank">made by a friend</a><br />
Necklace: Made by E in baby school (more to come on that)<br />
Bracelet: gift from a friend<br />
<br />
Also, today's photo shoot involved Ellie's shadow, aka her little brother. These two make me laugh!<br />

I'm sure all parents do, because kids are just funny. Well my daughter loves clothes (she said so herself just the other day, and I thought to myself, "Oh dear, we better lock up our wallets"). And every morning as soon as she wakes up, gives me my hug and kiss, she says, "Mommy change my clothes." I then try to suggest something for her to wear, she turns it down and peruses through her clothes and picks out her own outfit.<br />

At first it bugged me that her clothes never matched and were quite colorful. Now, that I've decided it's not a battle I want to have every day, I get a kick out of seeing what she will chose to wear and try to get a daily picture. Hence, this blog series came about, which is also inspired by the types of blogs where they document their daily outfits (<a href="http://jseverydayfashion.com/" target="_blank">such as this one</a> or <a href="http://www.everydayfashionandfinance.com/" target="_blank">this one</a>). And hopefully over the next year we'll see some growth in what she learns to pick out to wear.</div>

Then again, I've never been very good at blogging to begin with. But we'll give it another shot.<br />
<br />
Little E is 2! I can't believe it half the time when I look at her, and hear her say things like, "But why mom?" (Isn't 2 too young to already be starting the "why" stage?) Anyway, some ladies in my neighborhood with their own two year olds started a mommy and me play group and invited us to be a part of it. It's just once a week for an hour. We sing a song or two, read a book, do a craft, have snack, and of course play with toys. Really I think these kids would be completely content just playing with the toys, but it's nice to have some structure of a preschool type to introduce the idea to them.<br />
<br />

We rotate homes every week between the 4 of us, and today was our turn to have the group over. And here is how it went.<br />
<br />
I decided what I was going to do last week. I got the idea from <a href="http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/2011/05/monster-play-date.html" target="_blank">here</a>. We were going to make paper plate monster faces. I went to the store on Saturday and last night to get supplies. I cut out some shapes late last night as the Mr and I watched a movie. This morning I decide to test out the styrofoam plates (don't use styrofoam plates) we bought and make a monster face. The pieces were taking forever to dry and with toddlers I didn't know how well that would go over. So I decided to change my idea about an hour or 2 before play group. I stress myself out way too easily and over the most ridiculous things. Last night my husband says, "I think you're worrying way too much what 2 year olds will think." So true. Why was I stressing about a simple play group?<br />
<br />
Well, my backup activity, also from <a href="http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/2011/05/monster-play-date.html" target="_blank">that same site</a> turned out just fine, and probably even better for these kids who just wanted to play. Little E would not do the activity. We did paint footprints and turned them into monsters. At first none of the kids wanted to do it, finally they all gave in, and made 2 each because they liked it! Woo, success. We played "Pin the Arm on the Monster", and they all wanted to do that multiple times too. Little E wouldn't do that either. But I think it was a successful activity overall. I did read too long of a book, I learned my lesson. :) And baby J broke my pearl necklace and sent pearls all over the floor (good thing it was a fake, sadly I can't go back to Japan and buy another fake).<br />

Once everyone left I was ready for a nap. It may have also been due to the fact I didn't get to bed till midnight and woke at 6, with one wakening in between.

I'm grateful for such a beautiful world that reminds us of all we have to be thankful for. Sometimes the monotony of the every day is hard to get through, but these little simple pleasures are wonderful reminders. And I am very thankful for a backyard to play in and have so much beauty in!

But every night I get the chance to rock my sweet children to sleep and I can't help but feel so blessed to have them in my life. I have two of the sweetest angels who are patient as I'm learning, who love me unconditionally. Being a mom is overwhelming when they look at you with their perfectly trusting, beautiful, eyes. But there is nothing else I would rather do or be. This Mother's Day I'll most likely wake up at 5 or 6 because my babies love to be up early, but I will have a smile on my face because they are greatest thing that has ever happened to me.<br />

Ellie loves to try and play with Jack, and Jack loves to stare and watch everything Ellie does. It's even more fun to watch now that Jack is getting older because he laughs and giggles at the things Ellie does. I'm sure they will have fights every now and then as they get older, but I sure hope they keep up this bond and friendship. They are so cute together.<br />

Short version of the birth story: On Tuesday, November 20 I had a doctor appointment and asked the doctor to strip my membranes. He had actually offered to do it the week before but I was nervous about it. I was dilated to a 3+ with like no effacement. Well it worked and I went into labor. I got tired of inconsistent contractions so at midnight we went to the hospital. I probably should've waited at home, but I wanted it over with before Thanksgiving. Stubborn. Plus my parents were in town and could watch Ellie while we were at the hospital and see the baby too. So we got to the hospital and they said I was dilated to a 4+ but my contractions weren't consistent enough. They told me to roam the halls and maybe my doctor would see me in pain and let me be admitted. It worked and around 2-2:30 I was in my room getting the epidural. I just want to note: I was in pain. I was a 7 when they checked me before getting the epidural. So yeah, just listen to the pregnant lady. Just before 4:30 I was ready to deliver. 2-3 pushes later came a handsome baby boy! Everything was so much easier than the first time. It was great! Recovery was especially wonderful. I was up moving about just a couple days later. I'm so grateful for that because I needed to keep up with Ellie and it would've been hard had recovery been like hers. I love having a boy. I feel like it is an entirely different bond and relationship with a boy than a girl, not that I don't love having my beautiful girl. It's fun to have one of both.The Walsershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02511993781935224405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601386052878841379.post-17124069804059187162013-03-11T14:21:00.002-07:002013-03-11T14:21:45.816-07:00The Rest of 2012I don't have time, and maybe I'm lacking the desire as well, to make a post about each thing that happened at the end of 2012, so here's a summary of the events!<br />
<br />
August 2012:<br />
Cruise to Mexico with Morris family! Every trip with my family is a blast and lots of fun. This was definitely amongst the favorites.<br />

We went to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta Mexico. We got to do different excursions at each location, ate lots of delicious food, played games, and just had fun spending time together as a family. I love my family! :)<br />
<br />
Matt celebrated his birthday and we got a teenage babysitter for Ellie for the very first time! She actually did really well while we were gone. <br />
<br />
September 2012:<br />
We got a visit from Matt's friend Evan and his family. We love having visitors so it was nice to see friends!<br />

And in September she finally started to say words! Dada was probably her first official word. Then ball, and they kind of just started tumbling from her mouth after that. :)<br />
<br />
And Matt started back up with his Masters program. <br />
<br />
October 2012:<br />
We went to a local farm, Schnepf Farms, to do a little Fall/Halloween celebrating.<br />

For Halloween we went to our ward's Trunk or Treat party. I made Ellie a cupcake costume; she wasn't that interested in wearing it. But she did for a bit to get candy. She thought it was lots of fun getting candy, and everyone thought she was adorable as she signed "thank you" back.<br />

She got to help pass out candy Halloween night (our neighborhood has tons of kids that come through! the neighbors go all out for Halloween; it was a lot of fun!), and she loved putting candy in each kids bag!<br />
<br />
The middle of October we went to Utah. We did the whole 10 hours the way up. Never again, at least while pregnant. It was terrible. And Matt took a pill to help him stay awake the whole time, he was messed up the whole weekend we were there. I forgot to take any pictures unfortunately! But we had a lot of fun visiting with Matt's family.<br />
<br />
November 2012:<br />
Our newest member joined our family! Jackson Walter Walser was born November 21, 2012. I'll do his birth story in the next post. It was wonderful to finally meet our sweet little boy! My parents and brothers were here and able to meet him. We didn't really get to have Thanksgiving unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed, but for a sweet baby boy I would say it was worth it.<br />

December 2012:<br />
We went to California to spend Christmas with my family. We had lots of fun! We went to the San Diego Zoo and Lego Land. Unfortunately my sister and her family got sick, but it was nice to spend time together. This Christmas made me really appreciate family and the knowledge of the gospel so much more. My little nephew Jacob had pneumonia and had to go to the hospital Christmas night. As I was taking care of his sister, while my sister and brother-in-law were gone, I was very grateful to be with family and have the priesthood available. Thankfully Jacob ended up getting taken care of and better health!<br />
<br />
We ended the year with family coming for Jack's baby blessing!<br />

We were fortunate to have Matt's coworkers come help us unload everything in about a half hour! They were awesome.<br />
<br />
On July 4th Matt's parents, brother, and sister came to visit and help us however they could! They were wonderful.<br />
<br />
I wish we could've entertained them more! But we were able to get out and swim in the pool and go see Scottsdale. Hopefully next time they come to visit will be a little more fun :)<br />

I'm hoping to do better this next year. I'll slowly catch up with all that's been going on. :)The Walsershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02511993781935224405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601386052878841379.post-28767141552941713752013-01-26T12:41:00.002-08:002013-01-26T12:41:38.470-08:00Home Sweet HomeThe beginning of July we started our next big adventure as a family. We bought and moved into a home! Owning a home definitely is a blessing that we love, but there are some down sides to it.<br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
No tools because we've always lived in an apartment = more money spending.<br />
Not enough furniture to fill the whole place, because once again we've always lived in an apartment = more money spending.<br />
Lack of money to properly decorate. I'm sure this one takes some time for everyone though.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
We don't have noisy neighbors upstairs or next door!<br />
We have a lot of space for baby to run around!<br />
We have a pool! A garden! A backyard! A garage!<br />
We have storage space!<br />
We have a park just down the street - baby and I go here pretty much every single day.<br />
We have enough room in our home to put everything! (We have a pantry!)<br />
<br />
We're very blessed and fortunate to be able to have this opportunity right now. We love our first home and are grateful for it. Oh, and the ward we've moved into has been an added blessing. I was worried about settling down somewhere and not making friends in the new ward where we would be at least 5 years. But people have been very friendly and receptive. Ellie has had some play dates and I'm grateful she can meet kids. She loves kids.<br />

I can't believe my baby is 1 (and I can't believe I've procrastinated this post almost 2 months...). Ellie turned one on June 25th. It was fun for me reminiscing about her birth. We are so blessed to have her in our family. She does drive us a little crazy at times because she has so much energy and wants to be everywhere and into everything, but we love her and wouldn't have it any other way!<br />
<br />
At her one year check up she weighed 22lbs (75th percentile) and was 31 inches tall (90-95th percentile). The doctor visit was not fun. She wanted out of the room by the time the doctor finally showed up. I can't imagine what the 15 month appointment will be like because she has only gotten even more stubborn and strong-willed.<br />

I think that last series of pictures summed up how she felt about birthday cake. She cried - maybe because of all the attention? Bit Matt's finger when he tried to give her frosting. And just could've cared less about the cake. I never thought we would get that reaction! Normally she has a sweet tooth like her parents and loves what we offer her, but not for her birthday.<br />
<br />
My Feelings on Being a Parent to Ellie:<br />
It's the best thing ever! It's trying and I've learned a lot, and still have much more to learn, but I love almost <i>every</i> moment I get to spend with this sweet little girl. Ellie is sweet and loving. She's also stubborn and impatient. She's also very smart. I'm amazed at how much she learns or notices things we do. She makes me laugh every day. She's taught me how to be even more patient than what I thought I was before. She's the greatest thing that could've happened to me and her dad. I'm grateful she's in our family and we have the chance to see her grow and develop. Many times I'm overwhelmed with the thought of teaching her all she needs to know, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Our little Ellie is the very best! We love her so much!<br />

I'm so behind and slow with my updating, but Ellie's FIRST birthday was already <strike>THREE weeks</strike> over a MONTH ago. (Slow down time.) For Ellie's birthday I wanted to make it something special, even if she wouldn't remember. She's my baby and I wanted her to have a good time for her special day, because she is a very special little girl. So, we had a birthday weekend celebration. The Saturday before her birthday (her birthday was on a Monday) we took her to eat some Italian pizza and to play at the Children's Museum of Phoenix. Mom and Dad loved the Italian place (Bianco's Pizzeria), and definitely recommend it. Unfortunately this was the most difficult time we've ever had with Ellie while eating out. She did not want to sit still and eat; she just wanted to be outside playing. So we got it boxed up and left and ate outside. Then we headed over to the museum. I think she was a bit over overwhelmed with all that was going on there, but she ended up loving it; especially when we took her to the "Under 3" area.<br />

Matt was unable to make this trip, and the plane rides were a little rough for a very mobile almost 1 year old, but we had a blast with both sets of family! A big Thank You to both sets of grandparents for chauffeuring us, feeding us, playing with us, and putting up with us! :)The Walsershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02511993781935224405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601386052878841379.post-91025087208605454882012-07-13T11:18:00.001-07:002012-07-13T11:18:29.960-07:00Visitors and Mother's DayI must say, I got spoiled for Mother's day. Not necessarily in the gift arena, but in the fact I really didn't do much that weekend. And that is because my 3 awesome sisters-in-law came to visit! I LOVE having visitors. I actually feel bad because this time around I wasn't the best hostess. They made me breakfast 2 of the 3 full days they were there. Helped Matt make me Mother's Day dinner. They did dishes. They watched Ellie and played with her. (Ellie was super excited to have attention from new people.) They were the ones taking a vacation, and I pretty much sat back and did nothing. Sorry about that Kari, Katrina, and Brittany! I promise next time to be better. :) But we loved having them here!<br />

And really one of the most exciting parts about the break was my little (not so little) brother Nathan got married! And the reason I'm blogging about this now is because my other "not so little" brother A.J. got married in April! And I want to post a couple of pictures from both of their weddings. I am so proud of them marrying great girls and getting married in the temple. It was wonderful to attend both of their weddings and be there to support them. Dana and I are happy to have two new sisters! We are so happy for my brothers and their wonderful brides. We wish them a happy eternity together!<br />

I have 2 or 3 posts I want to put up (I've been a blogging slacker lately and choose to read instead), BUT first decided to insert this brief announcement brought to you by the Walser clan:<br />
<br />
Baby #2 coming the end of November!<br />
<br />
And we're all excited, even Ellie who doesn't look it in the picture. ;) (It's hard getting her to smile when no one is behind the camera :)<br />

She got some of the loose candy and started eating the wrapping. And then I had to be the bad guy and take it away. (Her sad face and tears breaks my heart.)<br />

Anyway, since the basket was taken care of I decided I didn't need to do anything else for Easter besides an Easter dress. But as we were at the mall the Saturday before Easter I decided I wanted to give her a teddy bear. So we went to Build-A-Bear on got her a teddy bear. Well, I did not expect Ellie to love her teddy bear, Rupert (Matt named him and she knows him by that name), so quickly.<br />
