May 29, 2010: Tonight is Z's first night in his crib...all alone in his own room. I think I'm the one who won't be sleeping much.

May 27, 2010: Seth had his 3 year old pictures taken today. I think he is the most handsome three year old boy EVER. Here are some of my favorites.

May 26, 2010: Nobody told me that being a mom meant I would at times be the most hated person in the world. Throwing away a little boys Elmo that has been his best friend for two years brought me to tears. It was the only consequence big enough that caught his attention. Telling a little girl I didn't care she got hurt because she wouldn't have gotten hurt if she'd been in bed like she was suppose to be brought me to tears. Listening to him shed sincere tears over the loss of Elmo brings me to tears. Having a girl walk away as I told her to get back in bed now and hear her say I love you mom brought me to tears. Hearing my 5 week old cry because of all the chaos going around him made me cry. Today started out to be a great day. Now all I want is a re-do.

May 25, 2010: I'm really lucky I guess. Three kids isn't any harder than having two (and this coming from a lady who had three kids in three years). I'm just a lot busier, takes forever to get everyone ready to get out of the house, the laundry pile is never ending and I find myself not really caring about my needs and wants as much. There is also lots and lots of giggles and love. I love my family of 5.

May 24, 2010: It's snowing. Un. Cool.

May 19, 2010: No worries Fanatics. Monday was our only rough day. We've been doing well ever since. Lately I've been taking more videos than pictures so I have nothing to show today. I had a harder time going from one child to two. Having three is not as big of a change for me as everyone made it sound. I seem to have more time to spend with Zachary than I did with Maybe. Zachary is an easy baby, but I also remember Maybe being an easy baby. My one complaint is nap time. Seth and Maybe still desperately need naps but they are so hard to get to stay in bed. I end up getting really mean and at least one of them ends up in tears. I guess I need to keep working on patience and need some good ideas if you have any.

May 17, 2010: Had my first rough day with Z today.

May 16, 2010: For Mother's Day I got pink mouse to go with my pink computer. I love my new mouse and not just because it's pink. Yesterday Seth went to his first boy/girl party. I was so excited for him...especially when I realized he was the only boy. Now when Maybe goes to her first party she'd better not be the only girl. Double standard? Perhaps. Zachary is one whole month today! Time is flying by. He continues to be an easy baby and I appreciate Heavenly Father having a little mercy on us. I still look at him and see Seth and have a hard time comprehending that he's not Seth, but our third baby. It will be interesting to see how he changes and if he gets his own face and is not a clone of Seth forever. For the most part, having three babies has not been any harder than having two. It takes a little longer to do things and I really have to think about whether I have everything for everybody each time we leave the house. I appreciate everyone's concern for us and hope you all know that I'm not lying when I tell you we are doing great because I see it in your eyes. I think people expect life to fall apart when you have your third baby but for me it really truly has been fine. I have my moments, but that's to be expected. And now what everyone really wants to see when you open up jessiewessie.com...pictures.

Zachary

Zachary's blessing day

I was lucky enough to have Zachary's Aunt Wendy come and take some photos of him for me. Doesn't she do an amazing job?

A week ago Saturday it was finally warm enough to get out and enjoy the park

Look at Zachary's pinkies

We took the kids on a walk up the canyon tonight.

Yay for rare photos of all five of us!

Maybe couldn't have cared less how cold the water was. I'm pretty sure she'd have been swimming in it if we'd let her. I couldn't hardly stand to walk in it. She must not have any feeling in her feet.

Seth loved throwing rocks into the fast moving river.

I absolutely love this time of year when the weather warms up and it's light outside until late so we can play. I can't wait to spend as much time outside with the family as possible. I want to go exploring around the county and find some new and fun parks. Who wants to come?
