Matt, Christina, Quinn, Ava, & Ethan

Sunday, September 7, 2008

OK, I have a question, about a week ago Matt and I put up the baby tracker countdown (you know the one with the baby bouncing around in the bubble), and above it we wrote Number Three, and it also says Christina's Baby, on the right side bar underneath our family picture, so we figured everyone would know we are expecting baby #3. Well with all the comments about if I was pregnant on our last post I'm starting to think that maybe it's not showing up when people are pulling up our blog, is that true? I know it's showing up when some people pull it up because they have left comments, but maybe it's not pulling up for everybody. Please let me know, and yes we are expecting a new addition to our family this February!

Jenni Elyse said...: I saw your baby tracker. I'm wondering if people have your blog as an RSS feed. If that's the case, then they won't see your homepage unless they actually come to the blog. Most of the time, when you click on the post in the RSS feed to comment, it brings you straight to the comment page. So, that's probably what's going on.; September 7, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Tyler V said...: I see it, but then I do come straight to the source every time. And, when you come straight to the homepage, it says "Christina's baby" on it, so I think you've done what you can. And, hey, if they just do the RSS feed thing, now they know that you are really 16 weeks prego.; September 7, 2008 at 10:11 PM
Christina said...: Thank you Jenni, I am so computer illiterate, and appreciate your insight into the matter, that'very helpful.; September 7, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Christina said...: Hey, I'm 17 weeks prego, don't make me be pregnant any longer then I have to be.; September 7, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Keith and Nicci said...: I think I'm just having a really bad case of pregnancy brain or something, because when I just pulled up your blog that was the first thing I noticed, but I've never noticed it before. But like I said, I can't trust my own brain these days so it's probably my own fault!; September 8, 2008 at 11:03 AM
vanessa said...: Sorry I use Google Reader so that's partly to blame for me not knowing, but then I had to go to your blog to write a comment so I should have seen it anyway. :) Congrats! Can't wait to hear what you're having.; September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Christina said...: okay thats good. I just love this comment on the previous post "I guess I need to do some sleuthing to figure this out!" Matt just laughed and said that he hopes they dont hurt themselves trying to figure it out. Sorry.; September 8, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Christina said...: Just to be clear the last comment was from Matt. I'm much nicer then him.; September 8, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Bethany said...: Your party looked so fun! Sorry we missed it!

Way to come out of the closet!; September 8, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Tiffany said...: I see it now! Lots of times I check blogs on my cell phone while I'm feeding baby, and if I do, the baby tracker won't show up on the post I'm reading. Anyway, congratulations to you all! So exciting!!!; September 8, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Eddie and Amber said...: I read google reader too. I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner. We are so excited for you.; September 9, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Annie Hatch said...: I See It!!! And congrats again!!
Love the b-day pics, thanks!! We loved seeing you!; September 9, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Rach and Danny said...: It was good to hear from you. It looks like you guys are doing great! It sure has been a long time. Seems like Papa Johns in Provo was FOREVER ago. If you went there now, you wouldn't know anyone. Mike Rogers doesn't even work there anymore. Congratulations on your new baby.; September 16, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Bethany said...: Hey girl. I have an emergency question for you. Doug keeps breaking out and I am so scared we might loose him! How do you keep your kids in your house safely???

And how is that little fetus coming along?; September 22, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Kristy said...: It comes up for me. Congratulations! You're just behind me. I can't imagine having three right now. That will be so much fun!; September 25, 2008 at 4:53 PM

QFQ - Quotes from Quinn

August 30- I was in the car with Quinn and Ava driving to pick up Christina from the airport. Ava was making a noise that was annoying her brother. Quinn informed his sister that if she didn't stop he would no longer be her brother. Ava came right back and said,"fine, i'll just buy a new brother that's nice to me." Quinn in sadder tone told Ava that he is her brother. Its amazing how quick they are with combacks this early in life.

February 1- Last Sunday Matt and I laid down to take a nap, and about 10 minutes into it we suddenly heard hysterical crying coming from Quinn and Ava. Quinn had gotten our gallon pitcher, completely full of lemonade, out of the refridgerator and dropped it. It was quite a mess and I think Quinn thought he was going to be in a heap of trouble. While we were cleaning it up Matt asked Quinn how he had dropped it and Quinn replied "Easily". I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

January 10- This actually happened a few months ago. Quinn has an Incredible Hulk action figure and one day he brought it to me and said "Mom, when I get bigger I want to have big nipples like the Incredible Hulk", it was so funny. Well, when we were in Seattle over Christmas Matt's brother Chris was there and he works out everyday for atleast 3 to 4 hours, so when we dropped him off at the gym Quinn would say "Uncle Chris is going to work on his big nipples?" Oh, man that Quinn's a riot.

August 5- The other day Quinn asked me where dad was, I told him he was at work flying an airplane. He said "Oh, he's flying an airplane sitting on his bum." Yep Quinn you pretty much got it, that's probably the hardest aspect of his job.

June 9-So we went to visit my mom and sisters and brothers in Denver last week and Quinn picked up a new word from his cousins or aunts and uncles, I apparently said something to him that was pretty obvious and he looked at me and said "Duh", the scary thing is that he used it so accuratley. This was definitley the hardest time I've had trying not to start laughing. That brings me to the other funny thing he has been saying lately. If you start laughing at something in Quinn's presence and he thinks your laughing at him he will say "don't be funny at me" in a very offended voice.

May 10th- Quinn saw Matt and I kiss and said "ooooh that's a nasty kiss" I said "Mom and Dad love each other Quinn" he replied "No only me". This apparent belief has been evident for most of his life.

April 28th-Matt "Quinn you better calm down or I'm gonna spank your bum red" Quinn "No, I'm gonna spank your bum orange". Then he started saying I'm gonna spank your bum and then said all different colors, it was hilarious, we were laughing so hard.

April 7th- Mom says "Quinn those are such cute dinosaur underoos you have on", Quinn says "No mom there cool." This has been the story of our lives lately, everything that I say is cute, or handsome or fun, Quinn says no mom its cool. Where did he learn this? I don't have a clue.

March 2nd- Quinn bore his testimony for the first time at church today. When I asked him if he wanted to go up and bear his testimony he was so excited. Then when it was our turn he went right up and told everyone (in a really loud voice) that he loved Jesus, and he loved his family. He did such a good job. I love my little Quinny the Pooh.

Feb 19th- I was getting ready to feed Quinn some breakfast when he stood up in his chair and started jumping up and down, and then he suddenly stopped and looked at me and said "Mom, I don't have a tail to bounce on." I guess we have been watching a little too much Winnie the Pooh lately.

Feb 8th- Quinn was eating Rice Krispies for breakfast and when I poured the milk on I told Quinn to listen to the snap crackle and pop the cereal makes. Quinn picked up his spoon and announced to the cereal "Im going to get you POP!"

Feb 6th-We were watching the news about this lady whose house is buried in snow and they said they need to use a PRIVATE tractor to dig them out. Quinn who has been learning about peoples privates said,"He's talking about peoples private penis!" I guess we need to explain the word a little better.

Jan 27- Christina walked into the bedroom and Quinn turned around and said "mommy I did mine and sisters hair", then Christina noticed the mint scented KY jelly in his hand. The hair do's didn't look that bad and at least their hair smelt good.

Jan 26- Quinn is learning the words that are not nice to say like "shut up". He knows he gets in trouble when he uses those words, so instead he likes to say "mom I won't say shut up anymore, okay?" and we'll reply "thats a good choice", but just to say the word he'll repeat the same phrase over and over again.

Jan 25- Quinn skipping his nap was a little tired at dinner. With Quinn being grumpy, christina said,"I know someone who needs to go to bed." Just then Quinn said "Mommy you don't say that word". Tawsha startd laughing and Quinn turned to her and Said "Tawsha your not funny".
Its amazing the phrases they learn and when they choose to use them.

Jan 21- Christina came over and gave me a kiss for making her breakfast and Quinn said "ew, thats a NAAASTY kiss".

Jan 19th- We were getting in the car and Quinn wanted to put his shoulder straps around him. He was wearing a big puffy jacket and his shoulder straps were still a little tight, so he was having a hard time. Getting frustrated that the straps wouldn't work with his big puffy jacket on, he exclaimed "THIS IS RIDICULOUS" as he started to remove his jacket to fit in his straps.

Jan 17th- Quinn came in our room eating a cereal bar and some fruit snacks. I asked Quinn if he asked anybody if he could have those. Quinn replied "I asked Annie". For those of you who don't know Annie, she is Matts parents dog. I then asked him "and what did Annie say?" Quinn quickly replied "she said WOOF WOOF, thank you!"

Date unknown- In the car Quinn has become quite the back seat driver. If you hop the curb, accelerate real fast or swerve the car Quinn loves to shout "SLOW DOWN GRANDMA!"
