So Tired!

We are super exhausted at our house these days and are counting the days and hours until spring break! (just 2 work days to go!) Who would have thought that having 3 kids would be so hard!? Riley was super easy until Tyler came along. Thank goodness Riley has had 2 super good months! Tyler was the perfect baby and was sleeping through the night by now! Now he has become ornery and demanding, especially when Sheree is feeding the baby! And Brock still isn't on a schedule and just when you have 3 nights in a row of a good 7 hour stretch, he has 5 shots and his schedule or kind of schedule is gone and you have to start over!
Then sicknesses keep coming and going...Ryan has strep throat and some other pain that we thought was a kidney stone, Tyler has pink eye (thought it was gone and it's back again today with all the goop!), Brock had an ear infection and so far Sheree and Riley have steered clear of everything. Of course the house is a mess and laundry keeps piling up, but we are trying. Thank goodness for conference weekend and hoping to relax a little, but it's also Easter and we haven't been good parents teaching the meaning of Easter, so all our kids think about are Easter egg hunts and candy and I have nothing ready for that! Haven't taken a picture in a couple weeks and need to do that cause the kids do change, especially Brock!
So anywho...that is life around our house!

Brock's blessing

We blessed Brock on March 14 and as always Ryan did a great job. We are so blessed to have a worthy husband/father who is able to hold the priesthood and give numerous blessings when needed. It was nice to have family in for the short weekend...Grandma and Grandpa Mansius flew in Thursday night and left Sunday night. Grandma April and Brent came Saturday to help with the preparations. Then on Sunday we had Amber & Jake, Todd & Brenda, Linda & Barr and Sheri's family come. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it like we did! So thanks for coming. Below are some pictures from the weekend.



Brock is quite the talker now as well and has finally started to smile! We had his 2 month appt on Monday and he has an ear infection! Thank goodness he takes his medicine really good! He now weighs 12 pounds 1 ounce!

Other fun items...Riley had an assembly at school and he was one of three that got chosen to participate! He received a cool yo-yo and the balloons. It was totally the hi-light of his day and we are so happy for him!

Back in the swing of things...

So Sheree went back to work on March 1 and we survived the first week back! Brock is going to the same daycare where Riley goes when he is off track. (Next school year he will get to go to Northridges daycare.) He took a bottle just fine all week long and loved all the toys that he gets to look at cause when he is home he seems fussy unless he is being entertained! We definitely hold him more at night too. It was really hard to leave him on Monday and Sheree cried as she was taking Brock out of the car and Tyler goes "Why you sad mama?" and she said cause she hates leaving her baby. Then on Tuesday morning as she was getting Brock out of the car Tyler goes, "Why you not sad mama!?" So it got easier as the week went on! Tyler had so much fun playing with his friends at the daycare. Every morning he got up really good and let dad change his diaper and then would ask if Tessyn, Alex and Adison were going to be there, so it has been really good for him to play with friends again! Riley had 5 super good days at school this week...yeah! He even lost 2 of his teeth, one on top and one on bottom! Man he is growing up fast (sometimes not fast enough though!) Below are some fun pictures that we took this past month but never posted.
