Seth loves to sneak out the dog door! While outside in his sneaking he has climbed our chain link fence and I've found him in our neighbors yard eating out of their garden or helping fix their lawn mower.
Well, today when he made it out the dog door he didn't make it over the fence but he did make a HUGE mess. Usually when he sneaks out the dog door I catch him and make up come in at least to get some shoes on.
He some how made it out the dog door with a watering can partially full of dog water. He poured it into the dirt to make a lovely pile of mud. He proceeded to jump in it, smear it on the side of the house, and just make a mess. I opened the door to catch him, and he said proudly "Shoes On!" He had a pair of open toed sandles on his hands/ wrists, and a pair of Sam's shoes were in the grass.
I couldn't stop laughing. I wish I would have gotten a picture but I was worried he would get cold out there so I got him in as quickly as possible. And you ask how did he get outside with out me knowing. The total time he was out there was the time it took me to change Christian's diaper.
Seth and Christian on Seth's motorcycle, Seth loves being an older Brother!
It's been 5 months (yesterday) since Christian came into the world, and do you know what that means?
Only 1 more month until it's final!!!!!!! I can't wait! We have our finalization date. I'm so excited. I just need to know that he's officially mine!
Do you know what else this means? That he has grown so much in 5 months. And he cut his first tooth yesterday. 3 little white bumps broke through his bottom gum right in the middle. He's been a little grumpy but nothing terrible. He smiles and laughs all the time. He shrieks with excitement. He LOVES his bouncer. He is liking baths more, but only if Seth is there. He is defiantly noticing that he isn't eating what everyone else is. He is a GREAT sleeper. (which is something he brother still is not, don't get me wrong Seth will go to sleep on his own, he just doesn't sleep very long), Christian loves to eat too. I can't wait for a month when he can have mashed "real food" I think he will love it. He still won't roll over consistently, but he's getting it. He loves to grab and hold things, especially hair. He's growing so fast!
We adore him. We are so incredibly blessed that he joined our family.
If you know Seth you know that he is a very busy boy who loves to find mischief. I nicknamed him the mobile master of mischief and mayhem when she started crawling.
His super hero/ villian depending on how you look at it is still alive and well. He is such a tease.
Like this morning. He crawled part way out the dog door got a handful of snow and then opened that bathroom door, moved the shower curtain and hit Sam with it. COLD! He also will fill up cups out of the dog water and splash you while in the shower. He will hide things, like when he hid my keys in the subwoofer for a week. And giggled every time I asked him where they were.
But even with all his shenanigans I still love him and he's a great big brother, he loves to give Christian his binkie or his toys.
My days would be so boring without my Mobile Master of mischief and mayhem!
I can't believe that this adorable tiny baby has already grown into this...
Still adorable and I'm still so in love
Now to Catch up...
A lot has happened in the last few weeks... ~We went to the zoo twice once with my sister who was here from England and her 3 boys, and once on MLK day. ~We went to Hurricane for new years ~ The boys were so incredibly adorable, but that happens all the time ~Christian started to try to roll over more, from tummy to back, but still not consistent ~The boys and I started to attend a great music group at our ward ~ Sam and I both started back to school. Yes, it keeps us busy. ~ Christian had his 4 month check up. He weighed 16 lbs 10 oz and 27 inches long, while we were there I weighed Seth too he weighed 21 lbs and 10 oz. ~I broke my fibula, it's just a hair line break in the bump that sticks out to make your ankle bump, nothing serious but with a four month old and crutches it wasn't easy so Christian visited Uncle Brad and Aunt Sally. THANK YOU SALLY! And we were so thankful for Jennifer Vernon, Jamie Bocenagra, Linda Mogle, and the Browns for bringing us in dinner. ~We got our finalization court date from Christian! And are going to bless him the Saturday after! I'm can't wait.
Cousin Ty, Lauren and Christian when he went to visit because of my crutches THANK YOU SALLY!

This is Zach. Zach was a part of one of my favorite Christmas Memories! It just happen to involve a garbage truck. If you want to read the story click here. Zach is one of those people that you just can't help but love. Didn't matter what you wore, looked like, good day or bad Zach loved you. He would see you yell your name and then give you a huge hug. Zach enjoyed life, he found joy in the little things, Like I remember one day he came up to me and said guess what my zipper works! I asked him if it was broken before, he said no but if it didn't work my pants wouldn't work. So you should be happy your zipper works too. Zach and his family taught me alot and I will be forever grateful for that. It's been coming for a while. And it's one of those bitter sweet passings. He's finally out of pain and able to be the happy kid he always was before he got really sick. But there will be a hole for the rest of us that knew him. His obituary read: Zachery Wayne Harrison "Zach Attack" Each life that touched ours for good describes the life of our Zachery. He began his earthly mission on September 5, 1992. He left for his heavenly mission on December 30, 2009. He accomplished many things in his life from being an honorary garbage truck driver to singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He will surely be missed by all. He is survived by his parents, Terry K. and Heidi Finlayson Harrison; siblings, Devereaux and Kyna; grandparents, Claude Wayne Harrison, Fred and Karen Finlayson. Preceded in death by sister, Cheryl Diane Harrison and grandmother, Verna S. Harrison. Special thanks to TURN, SDCH, Allied Waste and "Make A Wish" Foundation.
Some New pictures of the boys. I just can't get enough of them. Our family has been so blessed this year! I look at them and each is a miracle in their own way!
Seth would not put on any other shoes. But he wears them all the time so I figured it might be a good memory. My Binkie boys! Well there they are, I just can't get enough!
These aren't coming in any particular order but I figure no one really cares as long as they make it up there so everyone can see. There are a few slide shows because I'm so behind on Pictures.
I may be behind on posting pictures but Christmas presents are almost all made, Christmas letters are out, FD has recovered from her surgery, Sam is almost done with his semester, Christian is smiling and laughing, Seth is active as ever and everyone is still alive.
I'm a stay at home Mom to 3 wonderful kids. Seth age 2, Christian age few months who joined our family through the miracle of adoption, and FD, Foster Daughter age 14. I have a wonderful husband who runs a LDS Employment Center. We have 2 puppies, 2 cats, and 2 fish. It's quite a house full. My life isn't the way I imagined it, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
