Happy Holidays!

I'm such a lagger I wasnt able to pull off family photos for cards this year, but we were thinking of all of you. :) Happy Holidays everyone. Hope it was a great one!

Motivation Tips

Okay so you know how I asked about how to stay motivated in my last post? Well I have a few tips, tips I'm sure you all know and do.

1. Get some new workout clothes. Has anyone ever been to a sears outlet? Well I went in there the other day and they had a sale going on. All women's apparel for $5, no matter what it was. So I found some really cute workout pants and a couple of tank tops. 2 workout pants and 3 tank tops for just under $20! The tank tops were only $2. So I was excited to get dressed and where my new outfits to the gym.

2. Download some new music. I have these 3 favorite songs that I get really pumped to. So I play them while I'm driving to the gym, and I get all excited, then my last like 6 - 8 mins on either the treadmill or stepper when I'm like ready to call it quits I play them and totally hypes me back up to go the distance and not only go the distance but go hard.

So still no weight loss boo! But still getting up in the morning to go get my sweat on. :) If anyone has more tips please share. Because I'm sure I'll need to figure out something else to motivate me next week. Especially if i'm still at the same weight!

6 years.........

Of eternal bliss. :) Tahri and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary on veterans day. Man we really are the Holiday family. Tahri's born on Christmas, me on valentine's day, Tale on presidents day, Leila (well she is special ha!), and Tylana on 9/11. Not really a holiday but a memorable day for sure.

Our little family that we have created in our 6 years of marriage. I love them all so much! Thanks uncle Jared for babysitting so we could have a peaceful dinner.

Baby Fat

It's never coming off. This third time around it seems so much harder. Maybe it's not breastfeeding this time around??? Who knows but I just spent like 2 weeks in the gym and I gained 2 pounds. Whats that about? So I ended up eating this all by myself. Seriously I did, well with the exception of two, one for Leila and one for Tale. I'm pathetic but it was oh so good. Well there probably goes another 2 pounds. :)How can I stay motivated to keep going to the gym when I get that outcome? I have like 20 pounds to drop. Any suggestions? (besides stay away from the brownies? hahaha)

Blessing Day

Today we blessed our Tylana girl. It was a perfect day! We got an extra hour of sleep, got to church 10 mins early (miracle!!), had our family and friends there, and of course the wonderful spirit was present. Thanks to everyone that participated and came out. I totally forgot about getting Tylana a blessing dress, so we went out on Saturday and pretty much picked out the first white dress that we could find in her size. I wasn't a fan of it, but I was desperate and it was on sale and in price range. But she made it pretty :) Aunty Sili made her a cute little Lei with a gold bow and it totally made the outfit. I wish I had a better picture of it but here is one. Here she is with Tahri's beautiful grandma.

Tahri gave a beautiful blessing and Tylana was good throughout the whole blessing and meeting. Tale wanted to go up and be in the circle too with everyone, but I bribed him with gummy bears. what a mom! :)

Potty Trained!

Okay so my Tale-boi is potty trained. And the best part? I didn't do anything! He trained himself. Just one day he started taking his diaper off and going to the bathroom. And has been doing that ever since. It has been about a month now and no accidents. Well except for one time Chanel's water was spilled by Leila and he thought it would be funny to pee in the water. But other than that, none. He is even sleeping without a diaper at night time. I was sooo dreading the potty training but he made it sooo easy on me!

And the other best part is that Leila is copying him and I bet she will be potty trained in the next few months too. Hopefully Tale trains her for me. ha!

Good Job Son!

I just thought this picture was so cute and funny. We were taking so many pictures and he was tired of saying cheese so he made this face. ha!

Tylana

Just thought I would post some pictures of my Tylana. She is growing so fast. I think she is going to be tall, she already is getting too tall for her 3 month old onesies and sleepers. In these pictures she is about 6 1/2 weeks. She is also my first baby to lose hair so it will be interesting to see how it grows back. She is still a little angel. She is totally starting to smile and react to you talking to her, it is sooo precious. I wish I could just talk and cuddle her all day. She is taking a pacifier too, which has been really nice. She loves to suck on it while I just rock her. She also falls asleep when I do that, but those naps only usually last for about 45 mins then she wants to eat. You can totally see her balding here but I think she is still cute.

This picture was from Halloween she was drunk off her milk. haha!

Oct Gigi Visit

My mom came to visit us and we loved having her here. She was such a huge help. I didn't take many pictures because it seemed like we both always had a kid in our arms. ha! For just about the whole week she was here, Tylana slept with her and I got a ton of rest. It was a blissful week. :)

I did manage to take some pictures of our trip to Sea Life Park. The kids had a blast! Leila was fascinated with everything and was running from one exhibit to the next.




I miss my mom sooo much! But i'm so excited to see her and my dad again in December.

Boo!

Halloween this year was fun and exhausting. I really need to plan better! But the kids were so cute. Tale of course was spiderman. I bought him this suit awhile ago because I thought he would love to dress up as him but he wore the heck out of it. I then took him to get a costume and of course he picked the spiderman one AGAIN, but I convinced him he needed to find something else. So guess what he picks next? Venom! Venom is a black spiderman. They didn't have one in his size so he picked another one. Green Lantern, but of course they didn't have it. So then he picked Iron Man. We got home and he tried it on, but he didn't like the padded muscles and wouldn't wear it and only wanted to wear his old spiderman outfit. So I took back the Iron Man and just let him wear spiderman. But that thing has holes in it, and is threading everywhere but that is what he wanted to be. Best $10 I ever spent. :)Leila had 2 costumes. I already had a princess dress for her but it was really big and she wanted this one so bad, so I just got it for her. She was so cute in it.
We first went to the outlets in Carlsbad and they had a ton of fun. At first Leila just wanted to eat every candy she got, but then she got the hang of it. It was sooo cute hearing her say dankyou after every store.

After that we went home and got some rest. Then got ready for round 2. I ended up putting her in the princess dress for our night time trick or treat. And Tylana got a cute bow from my brother so we got her a cute onesie to match. Princess Ariel.
They were just so cute going door to door. My friend told me about a spot up the block from us that is always busy and has good candy. The kids loved it because so many houses were decorated and there were tons of other kids there with cool costumes. They didn't want to leave.
We had to go and see my brother and the twins. They were lady bugs!!! They were so cute.
I don't know what we are going to do with all our candy. We also got candy to hand out but no one came after we got home. :( So we have lots. AHHHHHHHHHHH I don't want to throw it out but I don't want to eat it all either. This baby weight is never going to come off, especially with more holidays coming up. ERRRRRRR

Slacker!

I've been horrible at updating my blog, I don't know what my deal is, but I need to step it up. I mean I don't even carry a camera with me anymore, and when I do I don't even take pictures. I use to have my camera on me all the time, I'd even have a back up camera just in case. AHHH, i'm really missing out on a lot of memorable things. :(

Life with 3 kids. I think it has been a little easier than I expected, but that's probable due to a few factors. I mean don't get me wrong it's not easy or anything but I was expecting much worse. What has helped is that Tahri was working from home, Tylana was a really good sleeper AND she takes a bottle. I think the hardest part was the first week. Just trying to do too much but not able to because um you just had a baby! But it is hard not to when you have 2 other little ones that demand so much from you. Tylana was a good little sleeper, she would sleep for like 4 to 5 hours at a time so I could leave her home with Tahri most of the time. Breastfeeding would take forever and it was such a pain, because for the first time it was sore and I had two other kids climbing all over me while trying to breastfeed and burp her. The bottle was so much faster, AND Tahri could often help with feeding duties.

Almost 6 weeks later and things are starting to get a little hectic. Because I was so sore I'm not really breastfeeding anymore, once maybe twice a day. With my other 2 breastfeeding was really easy and I never know what people were talking about when they would say they were really sore from breastfeeding. BUT now I do and man does it hurt! Hence not really breastfeeding anymore. I feel really bad about it but it seriously is WAAYY to painful to do. Poor Tylana :( Anyone have any suggestions on how to heal? I don't see how it can be done!

I've felt guilty a lot with my third baby. Guilty about my time, guilty for my Leila girl, guilty about spreading the love, guilty for being so impatient. Oh I can go one. Man it is tough being a mom sometimes. Your heart just hurts sometimes.

I love my little family so much and just wish that I could be so much better than I am. Okay I'm rambling. Tomorrow I'm going to take my camera with me. :)

Haircut

Tahri found this really cute kids hair place the other day when he was doing something, I can't remember. Tale's hair was getting out of control, so is Leila's so we took them there. It was so cute, they had little cars to sit in for the kids. Tale was so excited to see the car's car, he ran to it. Then she put the cape on and he freaked out. So we tried him on daddy's lap in front of the game center they had. He still wasn't on board with getting his hair cut even when he tried playing the game.
Then daddy said okay well we will go get a spiderman video after this if your a good boy and don't cry. And that did it, he didn't cry anymore, he sat still and listened to the lady.
And here he is with his sucker after his cut. Ahhh so handsome! (We took him to the store to get the spiderman movie because as soon as the cape came off, he said okay spiderman movie dad. So we took him to the movie section of Walmart and told him to go look for it. He couldn't find it so we told him they must be all out. He was bummed but said okay. We got away with that one. :)
Poor Leila, it cost a lot more then I thought so she didn't get to cut her hair, but she was happy just playing in the jeep the whole time.

Obsessions

My Tale-boi is still Obsessed with Spiderman! Right now he loves spiderman tattoos. His dad put one on his chest and the other on his arm. He didn't want to wear a shirt for like a week. Instead he would hold his shirt down everywhere he went so that people could see his tattoo on his chest. (This wasn't the best picture but I love how Leila is in the background smiling like she got in the photo)
So with one hand he would pull his shirt down so you could see the one on his chest and with the other hand he would hold his sleeve up so you could see the one on his arm. It was soo funny, he like did that for a week. Everywhere we went, to the store, to the park, playing with friends. I thought he was sooo cute.
Leila loves shoes right now. She has to be wearing a pair all the time! Here she is in mommy's running shoes. I'm glad someone is getting some use out of them. hahahaha...........

It's a GIRL

We welcomed our baby girl on September 11 at 9:00am. She came out perfect. Delivery was good and we are all adjusting to life with our new angel. We named her Tylana Roxanne Davyne. It took us forever to come up with a name because Tahri was convinced it was going to be a boy and I pretty much stopped looking for baby girl names. So while in the hospital me, Tahri, my brothers and my sister in law Julie all decided that we weren't going to sleep until we came up with a name. And in the end we all decided on Tylana. Her middle names are her two grandmas. She was my biggest baby yet, she weighed 7 lbs 14 ounces, and was 21 inches long.A few of our visitors, uncle Josh, aunty Julie and uncle Jared. These guys were life savers!!! My mom wasn't able to come out for the birth this time, so my brothers really stepped in and helped. Uncle Jared stayed with the kids at night so Tahri could be at the hospital with me, and took them over to uncle josh's house to play with their cousins and all the toys aunty Julie bought to keep them entertained. Thanks you guys!!!!!

Baby sister came to visit, how cute is my Leila girl? She treats her little sister like a little doll, but she just doesn't know her own strength, she can be a little rough.

Big brother on the other hand is so gentle and so loving. He just loves his baby sister so much. Always wants to hold her and feed her. He will even lift his shirt up when she cries to try to feed her. It is the cutest thing!!! When she keeps crying, he says mommy lift up shirt and feed baby. ha! The things they pick up on.

First night home from the hospital. Can I just say that this little girl is just an angel. She was such a good sleeper at the hospital I was worried that was all going to change when we got home, but so far she has been the best sleeper out of all my kids!

My 3 little keikis..........Oh how I love them so much............

A close up of Tylana. My friend just gave me a bag full of new born stuff, so finally she can dress out of yellow. :) Poor girl had like nothing to wear, now she has something new to wear everyday. Thanks Lauren for all the clothes!!!

32 weeks

My mom bought the kids these really cute outfits awhile ago and while I was in Hawaii I found one that fit me, so I bought it and thought it would be cute to take some family photos with them. But they didn't like that idea too much, we couldn't get one with all 3 of us, so it turned into maternity pictures for me. :)

Here I am at 32 weeks, oh my how time has flown by. I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore but not quite sure if i'm ready to be a mother of 3!!! Yikes that scares me a bit. But I can't wait to meet my little one.

Hawaii Fun........

We have been having so much fun in Hawaii! My parents have been soooo great! I didn't even take pictures of half the things we have been doing but I still have a lot of them.

We went to Sea Life Park

Ate saimen
Went to the Polynesian Culture Center. My cousin Eden dances in the night show and she was GREAT! We got to see her after the show.

Leila and I in a traditional hale.
Visiting the island of Samoa............
We visited one of my good friends Lei, her son is one month older then Tale.

Went to the beach several times...........


The kids love being outside! Good thing the island breeze was sooo nice because I didn't mind being out there either.
Tale loved to do yard work.

We did so much while we were here. We will be going back to California soon, we will sure miss it here!! :(
