WHAAAT??!! No, no....stop it, stop it!!!

I tell Sierra to stop, but she does not listen! Why is the baby 6 MONTHS old already? Can anybody tell me how that happened? I'll tell you why. It's because she's our last. Man, I didn't think it would be so hard. It seriously makes me want to cry. A lot of my friends aren't done having kids or haven't started, so I seriously don't know how to deal with this. I am in uncharted waters here! Time goes by too fast now that we know we are done having kids. All you mommies who are done, how do you make it less hard to deal with? I guess I never thought I'd see this day, but it's here. Does anyone every really enjoy changing diapers, being spit up on, snot wiped all over the front of their shirt, etc? Well, I don't think so, but I am definitely enjoying every bit of her while I can. She IS my baby, and always will be. Now more than ever, when I rock her to sleep, I feel and understand what a miracle all 3 of my girls are. And I am thankful! My cup runneth over!

Sierra enjoys her binkie sideways a lot

loves grabbing her feet, doing sit-ups

rolling onto her tummy

taking baths

She is a joy and we are so glad she's our little honey bunny! She gets to spend her first Christmas and Grandma at Grandpa Heaton's next week and we are excited to watch her chew on the wrapping paper, instead of the toys we bought her! :)

I'm always going to be late on her stats now that I was late once. Can't have those immunizations too close together or they don't count. So we'll go to the doctors after we get back and have her all up to date.

Temple Square

Or, "Square Temple," as Autumn likes to call it!

A few weekends ago I decided it would be fun for us to go to temple square and see the lights as a family. The girls and I picked up something for us to eat for dinner in the car on the way up. Next stop, was picking up James from work, but we had to wait 20 minutes for him to get there from the Provo warehouse and unload the truck full of stuff he had just brought. Then he wanted to stop by Cabela's to possibly use his gift card he had won from his work Christmas party the night before. (Yes, it was burning a hole in his pocket!) Then we got stuck in major traffic for a Jazz game that I had no idea was going on. So after about 3 hours after leaving Payson, we arrived!! Only to find no parking in sight. We ended up parking a few block south by a bank and paying $5 for it. Oh well.

The lights were gorgeous and we caught the very last song of a Christmas Choir singing in that little building on the south west corner. Think it was the first tabernacle? The congregation sung along with the choir to "Silent Night". It was beautiful and the girls loved seeing the temple and the Nativity Scene set up outside the Visitors center. We also listened as the story of Jesus' birth was played over the speakers. Love this time of year! We are so grateful for our Savior and his birth, and we were so happy to go and make a fun memory as a family. We hope to be able to go see the lights every year! It was a late night, but well worth it. They were super easy to put to bed! Merry Christmas to all!!

Sierra update

So she is going to be 5 months in just a few days, but i just got her in for her 4 month check up last week.

Weight: 16 lbs 3 oz

Length: 25 inches

She also started rolling over and eating rice cereal last week. She's one busy girl. So busy in fact, she has decided she can't nap very well any more. In other news, she has decided that she does like a binkie most of the time now! Yay for me!

Happy 10th Anniversary James

To my dear sweet husband, James

Ten years ago i kneeled across the altar from you and cried tears of joy that we were being sealed to each other for time and all eternity. I couldn't have made a better choice. You are my best friend and I love you so much! I love you so much more than I ever thought possible, ten years later. We have been through a lot together, and I'm so glad that I had you there by my side to share it with. You make me a better person and I am so grateful for your wonderful example. I am continually amazed at how hard you work for me and our family. It's amazing the way you know exactly what to say or do just to make me or the girls feel better. I can't imagine life or love without you in it. You are a wonderful husband in every way, and I'm so glad my heart belongs to you!

Logan's

Autumn's

Jana's

Here are the girls at our ward party!

Lots of fun!

BOO!! Scary bat princess, Logan,

getting ready to go trick or treating.

Witchy poo, Autumn.

Logan, Sierra, and Autumn

The "loot"

It was sooo funny to watch them separate

everything out. I just can't believe

how big they are getting. Autumn was

a trooper, and wanted to keep going even

though she was cold. There was a huge

hail storm right before we went out, but

it only sprinkled a little rain on us for about

5 minutes.It was nice to have Logan lead the

way and help shy Autumn up to the door and

say, "trick or treat", and "thanks"! All in all, I

think the girls had a great time. I know I

was pooped!

Little seesters waiting for big sis to walk by

Here she comes! Bat Princess......ohhhhh scary!

Bye!!

Logan back at the class posing with Autumn

Her teacher, Mrs. Ware, is the stinky cheese from "Diary of a wimpy kid". She gave Logan "the cheese touch" who in turn gave it to me! AHHH! Watch out you people!

New milestones

Sierra did her first laughs this week! She was laughing at me helping her "stretch" and saying that to her as I helped her. She also does it when I lift her up in the air with both arms outstretched above my head and say "super baby", while shaking my head! Love those baby laughs from the belly!

She's about to roll from her back to tummy. She sticks her feet up in the air and then sort of plops them over to the side. It's so funny to watch. She just needs a tiny nudge to get there, course she hates her tummy when she's there, but I guess she just wants to know she can do it. She does end up moving all around while laying on the floor, even though she's not rolling yet. Just scooting, I guess. Soon enough. I don't want her to grow up so fast!! She will be walking and talking before we know it.

4 Months

The days go by faster and faster every day. I can't believe she is 4 months already. We love and adore her, and I'm thoroughly enjoying every second! She sleeps 12 hours most nights (from about 7p.m.-7a.m.). Then she takes about 4, 30-60 minute naps every day. Once in a while she'll throw in a three hour nap during the day. She loves grabbing her toys, blankets and shoving them in her mouth. She's also starting to roll to her side. She's still loving her fingers now and again. She still loves to be swaddled in her blanket to go to sleep. When she wakes up, and we unwrap her from her blanket, she does a big stretch and arches her back! Love it. She's pretty happy for the most part now, other than if she's hungry or tired. Duh. She also does not love her car seat still, but she has taken a few long drives (SLC) and done okay. We are excited to see her grow and progress! We love having her as a part of our family!
