What about the boyz

I realize I haven't posted much about Jaxson & Liam latley

A Prophet for our Times

I have been wanting to post something about our beloved prophets passing

Ever night since his passing I have heard tributes to this amazing man on our local news stations (great thing about living in Utah).

My reaction to the news of his passing was really strangley happy. I am so happy for him to be home with heavenly father and especially his dear wife. It is times like these that I really start to think about eternal marriage and what a joy and comfort it really is. I have only been married to Angelo for 7 years and I cannot imagine my life without him. Our dear prophet did so much to further the kingdom on earth and I am relieved for him to be able to be reunited with his eternal companion and free from all the pains of these mortal bodies as they grow older.

I have heard it said many times this week what a wonderful man he was, and I would like to add my sentiments to this

'Till We Meet Again

GIRLS GOT STYLE

It has been mentioned more than a few times that Emeline is NEVER dressed in the pictures on my blog

I realize this is true however I am shocked because Emme has tons of clothes and she baths and dresses every morning!!!!

The only conclusion I can come up with is that by the time I get my camera out at least midday she has already started changing into dress ups ( she does dress up almost every day)

So to prove that she not only HAS clothes but WEARS them

we put on a little fashion show ( for as long as she would co-operate)

What's in a name

Okay Okay

So I get that Chaucer isn't the most common name

but come on

I thought if you had been through High School English you'd have read something written by

Geoffrey Chaucer???

Almost everyone I meet says they haven't ever heard the name Chaucer & it doesn't get better once I explain that it is like Geoffrey Chaucer or the The Canterbury Tales

So here is what Wikipedia has to say about Geoffrey Chaucer,in part because it is so long here is the link to see all of

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343 – October 25, 1400) was an English author, poet, philosopher, bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat. Although he wrote many works, he is best remembered for his unfinished frame narrative The Canterbury Tales. Sometimes called the father of English literature, Chaucer is credited by some scholars as being the first author to demonstrate the artistic legitimacy of the vernacular English language, rather than French or Latin.

One women in my ward asked his name and I was so worried that I was going to have another embarrassing conversation and instead after being told his name she said

"Maybe he will be a writer , what a great name to live up to"

THANK YOU

I really had begun to feel like I was living in an alternate universe

Okay my little rant is over and here are some new pics of our CHAUCER

Here are the smile pictures I promised

He REALLY smiles all the time!!!!

He looks so much like DADDY

4 is ALOT of Kidz

body incredible

I am always amazed at how the human body can recover so quickly

I was a little concerned with the 4th full term baby my body wouldn't recover as fast

I have been pleasantly surprised

The Day I went into Labor

Less than 24 hrs after his birth

One week later

We are having a great time with the newest Carvajal

he is still delightful.

He smiles all the time, none of our other kids smiled like this ( I know they say it is gas)

He really smiles,

after he eats he smiles

when he hears my voice he smiles

and

when he is just drifting to sleep he smiles

I am going to try to get a picture of it he is so sweet

The kids are adjusting well, they are just getting tired of being at home ALL the time

so we have come up with a solution( thanks to the snow).

Our front windows overlook the "yard" so the boyz put on their snow stuff and as long as they stay next to the windows they get to play outside.

Poor Emeline is left inside

she is handling it well she watches from the window

Moby Moby, oh Moby

We all know

I LOVE MOBY WRAPS

so when I saw that they made mini moby's for children well............

I knew Emeline had to have one

We have such a blast wearing our babies around the house, isn't it the cutest thing you have ever seen??

Chaucer

Well the newest Carvajal is finding this world a little hard to adjust too

He had a little trouble breathing in the begining because the cord was around his neck

when he was born

He spent an hour or so with some extra help

Now we find he prefers a tanning bed to a crib. He is a bit jaundiced but the good news is they now have these "suitcases" (that is what they call it, and indeed that is what it is) so we are able to keep him at home with us. Thank goodness for modern technology !! It is sad because he can really only be out of his suitcase to eat, I am glad it is almost over.

Chaucers home tanning system

We have been checking his billiruben levels everyday and he will be out of the lights by Saturday!!! Hooray!!

Well I am glad that we are able to have him at home where I can nurse him. He is a delightful baby, he rarely crys and is really a pleasure to have in our family.
