April through Instagram - and then some

Ever since his bday - he's been obsessed with cupcakes/cakes/cookies... they're all called birthdays now...

 He needs to protect himself.

Whenever I'm away - Matt takes the kids straight to Cabelas!

 Both of them fell asleep in the cart while shopping. It was hilarious.

BYU! BYU! They dressed themselves up like this all on their own - well I'm sure Livy was the brains behind the dress up.

This is the only way he'll wear his hat.

I'm four now so I can cut my pancake, pour the syrup and put sugar on top. Notice the insane amount of sugar on each bite...

A pic from Denver I forgot. They are both very worried about blackheads on their noses...

 This is all I feel like doing lately - luckily Adam is down to just cuddle sometimes.

Liv got some birthday money from Grandma Sherrie and Great Grandma Jordan so we let her take it to the Disney store and splurge! She was so excited to get so much mermaid stuff. Her items included: 2 pairs of flip flops, fancy princess shoes, Ariel sunglasses, and an Ariel jewelry box that plays music. It was so funny when she took all of her items up - the total came within 30 cents of the amount she had! She threw down her cash and that was that! It was HILARIOUS!

I like these guys. This is when the kids were waiting outside to congratulate Daddy about getting into school.

After gymnastics one day she kept doing this pose and yelling, "Gymnast Girl!"

I scored this BYU outfit for $7 - I'm kind of awesome! I'm totally ready to have no money and live off loans...

I'll do anything when bribed with candy!

Somehow we made it through the worst ear infection of 2012 with Adam! Apparently, it was a water bacteria infection that can sometimes happen when you have tubes. His ear was draining the weirdest stuff for 5 days straight. When the antibiotics from his pediatrician didn't work we took him to the ENT who scraped everything out and gave him a miracle elixir that cured him by the next day! It was so sad to watch. I'll never forget his little face when he was given a blessing by Matt. He was folding his arms, closing his eyes, and had tears streaming down his face from the pain he was dealing with. I bawled. Our family didn't see sleep for several nights and we were all suffering, but our awesome ward family took care of us - we are seriously so blessed!

Just chillin in the back seat...

Yo Gabba Gabba entered our lives. Matt and I were horrified! It is THE. WEIRDEST. SHOW. EVER!!!!!! Don't let your kids watch it. They get sucked in and can't turn away! Unfortunately, it's actually teaching them! It's the weirdest thing! Now Livy likes to tell me that she won't run with scissors and that she wants to try new foods. What!?! I guess it's a necessary evil??

I always hated Saturday mornings because that's when my mom made us all clean the house. Yet here we are on Saturday morning - cleaning up! Am I really turning into my mom??? Matt's not allowed to answer that question, ever. Also, we recently found out that this mini vacuum actually picks up dust. Hilarious!

Mom, take a picture of us!!!

We are now the proud owners of our swagger wagon!!! :) We decided it will be easier to budget in school if we get rid of this payment. So after 2ish years, we were able to purchase our van and pay it off! I'm pretty proud of ourselves! It feels SO AMAZING to be debt free! And yes, I know it will end in a couple weeks and then we'll be in debt for the rest of our LIVES - but I'm choosing to ignore that for now. :) 

Liv has been asking about where she was before Earth so tonight I decided to draw it out for her and show her that she was with Heavenly Father and Jesus and then came down to earth. After my lengthy explanation she said, "Okay, I get it, but why did you draw peanuts on the earth?"

Some Pages and BYU

Our friends, the Pages, are visiting from Mississippi and we got to meet up with them at BYU and have some fun! Matt and Jeff have been best friends since their freshman at BYU - it's fun to hear their hilarious stories of living in the dorms together. 

Livy and Leah became BFFs very quickly! Livy told us at first that she was nervous to talk to her - but then she busted out of her unusual shy shell and they became joined at the hip! They were asking if they could ride in the same car together and go to each others' houses. It was so cute!

We have quite the brood between us! We don't have little Maia pictured here who is 3 months. She made us so excited to meet our little one! She also gave us a glimpse into how Adam will react to a baby - let's just say - it doesn't look promising for poor little Embry. 

They were all so excited to feed the ducks! Adam was also pretty stoked about his sweet new BYU hat - I was surprised he wanted to wear it.

Depressed that he ran out of bread to throw to the ducks. Such a cute little stinker!

Funniest Home Videos

The kids have been quite hilarious these days - luckily I've caught some sweet moments on my phone...

This one is my favorite

Here is one featuring one of Liv's many original songs. The lyrics get a little questionable in the middle, but I assure you she's referring to taking a nap which is where they were headed after the video was taken!

Matt's First Softball Game!

Here is the world's greatest softball player! Matt's work decided to put a team together and Matt decided to join. It was his first softball game ever, but he did awesome!

Adam was so freaking excited about daddy playing baseball! He still talks about how Matt hit the ball with the bat and all he wants me to do now is throw a ball to him to practice his batting as well. 

Here are all the little kids from our team - they were loving hanging out together and finding ginormous moths - gross.

It was so hard to keep these kids out of the dugout. They thought their dad was so cool. They seem to be a little confused by Lucas, though... :)

36 Weeks!!! Oo Oooooo!

Here she is in all of her glory! I can't believe I only have 20 more days until this little one arrives! It's so weird. I'm like Adam, I have no idea what's about to hit me! But I'm so excited! Newborns are the best! They can't move or talk and they have the teeniest voices! :) And I can't wait to see what she looks like! I mean, I know she'll look like an alien for a couple weeks - but this kid could look just like the other two or completely different. All I ask is that I get one kid with dark hair - I don't feel like that's too much to ask for!

I feel really lucky - this pregnancy has been so good to me! Even now, I just barely started to feel uncomfortable. I'm really glad I've stuck with my goal to exercise during this pregnancy. Who knew it'd make such a difference?? :) Just by doing my little DVD exercises - I've been able to stay in the best shape during a pregnancy and have the energy to play with my kids! Or maybe it's having to constantly chase a 2 year old and drag him into time out upstairs at least 10 times a day that has kept me in better shape...

Anyhoo, this week my body did start requiring naps! Livy has not been excited about this. I usually just let her watch a movie while I pass out and just pray that the house is still in tact when I wake up. But if I don't nap for an hour during the day - I will be out by 7! Also, the nesting instinct has hit me once again! Poor Matt had to bring every bin of toys downstairs to me one night. I made him help me get rid of toys because I'm so indecisive and then he had to put everything back! He must really love me. Now I just have to wash the baby clothes and bedding and get all of that set up. Then BAM the baby will be here! I can't wait!

THUNDERCATS ARE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was our special phrase that Matt used to tell me he had gotten accepted into school! Needless to say, there is some SERIOUS relief going on in the Wiseman household today! Matt got into Physical Therapy school and we are all SO FREAKING excited and so proud of him! This is something we have prayed and prayed about and we sacrificed a lot because we felt so strongly that this is our family's next step - and to have everything work out after so long - it feels so awesome! We feel SO blessed!

To celebrate, we got some Texas Roadhouse for dinner followed by Macey's cones. Yum! Then Matt and I spent the night watching the Giants - which according to him is celebrating. According to me, it is torture, hence my bloggage right now. :)

Anyway, now the craziness begins! I'll have Embry on May 8th and then Matt starts school less than a week after that on the 14th!! Ahhhh! Our lives are about change dramatically - but we're excited! And a little nervous... Three freaking kids and a husband attending school full time - super easy, right?

Thank You, Instagram!

Thank you, Instagram, for being released for the Android and providing me with an easy tool to document my family's life! Here's what we have so far...

These kids live for Matt's bedtime stories! This night it was about pirates! Aaargh!

My white trash baby. She would dress like this all the time if I'd let her... 

Refusing bedtime, but I love those eyelashes!

After cleaning up, I found these two cuddling on the couch together! Sometimes they really love each other!

Family night miniature golfing! Matt's no longer allowed to play with us because he takes mini golf a tad too seriously...

He was super nervous about going into the rain outside!

"Look, Mom! I'm a gymnast!"

She lives on the edge.

"I'm four so I can do everything now!"

The title of this post is Livy's official slogan for her latest birthday. Apparently, once you're four - there's a whole new world opened up to you and you can do things that were unimaginable while being three. She is so funny! While we were driving home from CO, she was telling Matt and me about all of the things she can do now because she's four - then she stopped and asked us why her hands were still teeny? Apparently, she was expecting ginormous hands once she turned four - we assured her that her hands would get bigger soon. :) Anyhoo, I seriously can't believe Alivia is 4! She's getting so old - it's so weird. Her birthday was quite the extravaganza, as well. Since we spent her birthday weekend at Nana's, this girl got multiple birthday celebrations...

Preschool Celebration

We made cupcakes for her class together. Here she is eating the purple batter. We decorated them with pink frosting so that the purpleness inside would be a surprise. She was pretty stoked for her friends to bite into them!

 Birthday Girl!

 Red Robin Celebration

We went to Red Robin to celebrate Liv and Adam's birthday. When they were sung to - Liv and Adam were so nervous and confused - it was hilarious.

First Birthday Cake

(Yes, this kid got two birthday cakes in one weekend!)

I swear this kid believes he's an actual animal.

Actual Birthday Day!

I'm glad we were at my mom's for her birthday because I have been so tired lately - my mom was able to help me make it special and provide the energy that I am seriously lacking these days.

Here's the outfit she picked out for her big day! I begged her to leave the shorts off but she insisted and it was, after all, her birthday... She kept telling everyone she was wearing all of her favorite colors! Pink Purple and Blue!!!

JumpStreet Fun

My parents took us to this sweet place called JumpStreet with trampolines everywhere and bounce houses. Of course, Liv and Adam spent most of their time on these little outside play things.

 She told me this is her pirate face...

Adam was so nervous at first to climb up the sides so Liv would hold his hand as they went up together. It was so cute! I love when my kids love each other.

Here we are midday - Matt and Adam have both passed out from so much birthday celebration.

 The Lorax

After naps, my dad took Adam for a couple hours while Uncle Ky, Matt, and I took Liv to The Lorax. Weirdest. Show. Ever. But Liv enjoyed it!

Here she is making her own peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner because she's four now and that means she can make sandwiches...

2nd Birthday Cake!

She was so excited about this mini Ariel cake!

We ended the day with some classic goofy poses by this crazy girl! 

Happy 4th Birthday Livy Lou!!!
