Don't Worry...We Are Still Alive!!!

I think I am finally back to "normal" (or at least as normal as I can be). I haven't posted forever because I forgot that you don't get any sleep with a newborn. You just get little naps and when you aren't "napping" you are feeding, changing, holding, rocking, yelling, running, feeding, and a million other things (which I wouldn't trade for the world). But now I think I am back. Last night, my wonderful little babe went to bed around 11:00pm and didn't make a peep again until 7am! What a sweetheart. He knows mommy's not very nice on no sleep. We have been super busy with swim lessons, birthdays, work (yes, I started again last week), and the house and yard. Here are a few pictures from swim lessons. I will post more pictures soon, but I at least wanted to let everyone know we were still here.

We Are Adjusting To Three

The kids have been home for a week and a half now and things are settling down. They are still super hyper around Carter sometimes, but they love him SO MUCH!!! It has been nice to have Eric around. He can tell when I've "had it" and is there to step in and help whenever I need him.

Kennedy And Carter (This Post Is Mostly For Bobbi)

My sister had a little girl exactly seven weeks (almost to the hour) before me. We got some pictures of the two newbies together for my sister Bobbi who is on a mission. Hopefully, in about seven more weeks we will have some pictures of all three newbie Clement grandkids!

Yes, Carter is taller than her or at least really, really close. He had his two week check up last Monday and he had gained one pound and grew one and a half inches. He's getting so big!

Carter's First Bath

No, we didn't just barely give Carter his first bath. It was a couple of weeks ago. I am just really slow at blogging right now. He has had many baths now and he LOVES them. In fact, every other day or so he throws up an unbelievable amount of milk and gets it all over himself and whoever is holding him at the time (usually me) and I think he does it just so I will give him a bath. He loves them that much!

I Miss My Kids

I totally appreciate my mom for taking Ashlynn and Tade since I've been home with Carter, but I miss them so much! I haven't seen Ashlynn for over a week (because she was sick and then my mom worried she wouldn't want to leave if she came to visit.) They are coming home tomorrow and I am really excited. I am nervous too because up to this point I've only had one kid. We'll see if I can manage three. If I seem kind of crazy the next few days that is why, but have no fear! Eric is done with school on Friday so after that it should be smooth sailing! (In my dreams, anyway!!!)

Tade Graduates From Preschool

Tade had his Preschool Graduation last Wednesday. It was so adorable. They put on a 30 minute presentation of songs and other things they had learned throughout the year. Miss Barbara and Miss Elaine were awesome teachers and we were very lucky to get to participate in preschool this year. Thank you Park Elementary Preschool! (I can't believe he'll be starting Kindergarten in the fall! He is SO excited!)
This is Saedree and Peyton. They are in our ward and we were lucky enough to get to carpool with them this year. Thanks to their awesome mommies for all the help!

This is Kelton. Tade thinks he is the coolest kid ever. Luckily, they are in our stake and go to the same church building. Plus, he will go to the same Elementary so I don't think we'll be seeing the last oh him!

Miss Barbara, such a sweetheart! We will miss you!

Miss Elaine, you're the best! Thanks so much!

Thanks Matt for being my camera guy. Thanks Mom and Dad and Jeanette for coming with me and Eric to help Tade have a special day! (Thanks Kelli for watching Carter.)

This is a super cute video of one of the songs they sang. Tade had been trying to teach it to us all year, but we just didn't get it. When he started singing it all started clicking for me and I final understood what he'd been trying to teach us. I was laughing so hard! It was way too cute. It just wouldn't be the same if it were Eric and I singing.

A Few Pictures of Carter

I am so happy to have Carter in our family. My Mom has had Tade and Ashlynn since I came home from the hospital so I have had tons of time to bond with Carter. It has been great! He is such a sweetheart and we are very lucky to have him in our family!
