Decorating for Halloween

Lana's blessing day

 

Today, September 28, 2014, Lana was blessed by her dad. She was given the name Lana Rose Sudar.  Jon gave her such a wonderful blessing. The spirit was so strong. A few of the things I remember from the blessing: she would have a strong intellect. and that she would have a great relationship with her Savior and understand the atonement and the blessing that it is in her life. and that she would stay close to the spirit and Heavenly father and want to be married in the temple. One of my favorite parts of the day was when my husband and all of my brothers and brother-in-law's and dads and grandpas walked up to bless little baby Lana. There was such a strong spirit of priesthood power it was undeniable. I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many family members who love and support us. Jon's mom made Lana's beautiful blessing dress and my mom bought her cute little booties and headband. We had a nice brunch here after sacrament meeting. It was a beautiful day.

 

At least she was honest

Tonight I was reading a book to the girls and Ava was sitting by my side. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her pick her nose and put her hand down by her side as if she was being secretive. I waited to see what she was going to do. Then she slowly lifted her finger up to her mouth and I turn my head and said, "don't do it!" She asked why and I said I told you 100 times boogers are gross and full of germs and if you eat it I will have to take you to the doctor because it might make you sick. she looked down at it and I said , "that's gross, does it look like food." She said "but mom, I like the taste." 

Oh yuck! Why do little kids like to eat boogers, it is so gross? I wrote this down as blackmail for when she's older. She won't believe she said it. Haha

Sleep

Lana is eight weeks old today and last night she slept from 11 o'clock at night until 6 o'clock in the morning. She has been such a good little sleeper the last 2 wks. It seems like by eight weeks old all my babies had it figured out and they would sleep for at least five hours at one time and Sometimes up to seven hours. And then go back to sleep after being fit for a couple more hours. I have such good sleeping babies and she is no exception. She is kind of fussy in the day but since she lets me sleep at night, I am happy rock and bounce her in the day.

Lily's happy fish

As we were starting Tarzan Ava said,"okay guys he's going to be maked with only undies on." 

Fun times

My mom brought the cousin up last night to sleep over because Joe and Jamie are running the Ragnar with Jon and my dad. We had a fun time watching movies, going to the parade this morning, and the carnival. I love that the Cedar Hills parade is in our backyard, it's fun to just be able to walk out there and have a great seat. And the carnival is low-key and It has lots of free stuff to do. The kids had a blast and now we are all exhausted.

5k

On Saturday our ward had a 5K for a boy named Chase in our ward who has cancer. Jon and Calvin decided to run it together. It was Calvin's first time running more than 1 mile. Jon said he was amazing and he ran 3 miles without stopping. They came in 9th and 10th Place overall. Way to go guys!
