Poor Grant! Birth order is definitely coming into play with my little man! With Bella, she had Rice Cereal the day she turned 4 months old. Jack had some feeding issues, so we didn't even try until he was 6 months, but Grant...he was probably ready at 4 months...but I wasn't! Thank goodness my little one goes with the flow beacuse this family moves! We finally decided to give him some cereal today, and he was soooo funny trying to eat it. He is really doing so well...he's a little Buddha (almost 18 pounds and 26 1/2 inches), he babbles like crazy, he eats his toes (love that!), and he rolls back to tummy with such ease. Too bad he hates his tummy...ummmm, and mommy is not helping because I just turn him back so he won't fuss! Needless to say, he doesn't go from tummy to back too much (I've only seen him do it twice, and it was on my bed which is squishy.) Anyways, he is such a love! The kids just adore him, and he has a smile and giggle that makes me melt! No one can figure out who he looks like...most think he looks EXACTLY like John(or John's grandpa Clark), but lots of people think he looks like Jack and Bella. I don't know...John and I have similar features anyway, so of course our kids resemble each other too! The only difference I see between G and his sibs is his pale white skin, LOL! I have olive skin, as do J and B, but Grant is a total white boy! He's the cutest thing ever! He has been tagging along with us so much, and he's such a good sport that I think I'm going to sign us up for the mom and me swimming class this summer. All of our kids have zillions of activities, so I figure Grant deserves some Mommy alone time. Yes, I know he's only 5 months old, but still...do you feel my guilt?! OK, here's some great new pics of my little guy! If you know me, leave me a comment on who you think he looks like!

Grant Update-5 1/2 Months Old!
Poor Grant! Birth order is definitely coming into play with my little man! With Bella, she had Rice Cereal the day she turned 4 months old.

Jack and Macy on the Trampoline!
Now that he is walking, Jack decided he also knows how to do a somersault. We were hanging out one night, and Bella and Jack were being silly. Bella was doing somersaults across the room, and all of the sudden, Jack stood up and did a perfect somersault...I didn't have the video camera ready at the time because, well, who knew?! A few days later, I got him playing with Macy on the trampoline and showing off his new skills!

Hot Coupon Mama!
OK, I have broken down. I have finally admitted to myself that I have a problem. There's no use denying it anymore. I need to be honest with myself. My name is Kristin, and I'm an overspender, LOL! So here's the deal...I spend typically over $1200 a month at the grocery store for my family of six. This includes diapers, formula, and everything else you can get at the store. I am pretty driven, so I decided to challenge myself and cut that DANG bill in half...by couponing and going to Costco (which, believe it or not, I just got a membership to about 2 months ago!). I have also decided that I need to hold myself accountable, so I set up a blog specifically for chronicling the deals I get (Great sales, Freebies, Coupons, Stockpiling, you name it!). Come check it out...Show Me the Money Honey! Oh and P.S., I officially have no life, LOL!

Ski Bunnies
For Miss B's birthday, we went up to Snow Valley to snowboard and ski...Bella has been begging us to go, so she finally got her chance. The girls had an all day lesson, while John and I went snowboarding on our own...it was a beautiful day, and the girls had so much fun! They were doing the "french fry feet" to go and "pizza feet" to stop. Here's a couple pics of my cute girls! (and PS...I am happy to report that I did not fall once! :-))

OK, so it took me awhile to update...
Yikes, it has been two months since I've been on here...it is absolutely amazing to me how much work adding one more child to the mix really is! As I sit here, both of my boys are sleeping and Bella is having some rest time...this has only happened a handful of times since Grant was born! I haven't had a moment to get online it seems in two months. I finally made a recent montage...it has taken me about a month to get it done, but here you have a hodge podge of the last two months...from Grant's birthday to Christmas to Bella's performance to you name it! I realize it's about 7 1/2 minutes long, but if you take the time, I promise there are some cute pics of all of the kids.
