LIKES: being held all the time, spitting up, crying, his brothers and sister to talk to him, smiling
HATES: his carseat, his bumbo, being on his stomach, the cold weather, being ignored

Here are some pictures.

Sledding!

Steve and the boys (Andrew and Jacob) went sledding. I don't mean regular sledding. On Thursday they went to the outlets in Park City and did some returning/shopping. Then they went to stay overnight at my parent's room at the Zermott Resort in Heber. They went swimming and played in the hottub on Thursday afternoon. On Friday they headed back to Park City to this place where you can pay to go sledding. I know you're thinking..."why pay to go sledding when every hill around us is covered in snow?" Well, they did it A)because the hill was steep and long, B)because they would just hook your tube up to a line that pulled you up to the top of the hill, and C)you had all the amenities that you might need such as bathrooms, hot chocolate, places to go warm-up etc. They had a great time. Jacob got sick from all the fun but said he wanted to go again. Here are the only pictures Steve could get. They are pictures of the boys being pulled up the hill.

Thanks Buddy!

So here's a conversation from this morning.

Andrew: Here mom you can have some of my M&M's.
Mom: No thanks Andrew, mom is on a diet.
Andrew: Why? You aren't THAT fat.

Wow, thanks buddy. Maybe I will take those M&M's since I'm not that fat! He meant it as a compliment I think. I love that kid! Had anybody else said that I would have been depressed and offended and eaten the whole bag of M&M's while having a pity party with myself. I guess it's a good thing it was Andrew.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of Zachary. Now I just need a picture of this kid's hair. He has a head full of thick, dark hair just like all his siblings.

Zachary Ryan Bargeron

I just wanted to quickly update everyone and let you know that Zachary Ryan Bargeron is here. He was born on his due date, October 17th at 4:13 pm. He weighed 10 lbs. and was 21 1/2 inches long. Life with 4 kids is an adjustment. I can't even find my camera or I would post a picture. I think it is in Steve's car. Anyway.

I'll also update on our family. Steve started a new job a few weeks ago. He now works at Novell in their tax department. He likes working there. We also got another addition to our family. A dog from our neighbors the Smiths who moved. Her name is Phoebe and she is a schnauzer. She is a good dog and I feel bad that she gets so loved by our kids. Sometimes she runs away when they come after her. Especially when Emma comes running. I need to post a picture of her too. She is cute. We are also in the middle of converting our loft to a fourth bedroom so we have somewhere for Zachary to sleep. I get tired of hammering and drywall dust everywhere. I hope it is done soon. You know how contractors work at their own pace so some things seem to take longer than I think they should. We can't wait for Halloween. The kids are so excited. We just have to make it until Friday. I have to say that all of these things combined is a little overwhelming. That's all from us for now. I'll do my best to get some pictures posted.

Don't judge me!

Okay, so I LOVE taking care of Andrew's webkinz. Andrew remembers him every now and then, but I check on him everyday and make sure he is fed and happy. I think it might have to do with the fact that everytime I log in to check on him he says how happy he is that I'm there and how I do such a great job of taking care of him. Maybe secretly this is what I hope my kids and husband think but just don't always say. :) For those of you who don't know, a webkinz is a little stuffed animal pet that you have to take care of online. Andrew has a little tiger named "Tigerpaws". He is thriving thanks to me and the care I give him. I know I'm crazy and like I said...don't judge me.

We aren't dead!

Steve put this new filter on our computer that makes it impossible to read any blogs (including my own)! I've been waiting for him to fix it so I could at least see what I was posting but decided to just give a quick update. Summer is gone. We went swimming. Steve and the boys went to a couple of Owlz and Bees baseball games. We had a last hurrah at Bear Lake at the end of July. Can you believe I don't have even one picture of that vacation? Lindsay can :)! Andrew and Jake started fall soccer. Steve is Jake's coach. The boys started school. Andrew is in second grade. Jacob is in preschool. I love having 2 1/2 hours a day with just Emma even though it will only last for 7 more weeks until this baby comes. We went shopping today and Emma tried on at least 10 pairs of shoes. It was so fun! On Labor Day Steve and the boys hiked to Timpanogos cave. They had a great time eating crickets, getting hailed on, it was all good. Andrew and Jake didn't complain at all. We are getting ready for Jacob's 5th birthday and getting this baby born. That's all from the Bargeron's.
