And baby makes 3!

Or in our case 5! There will be 3 Suazo babies and 2 Suazo parents! Today husband and I went to the doctor and had "the" ultra sound where they tell you boy or girl.  We are having a BOY! I am so excited. For us this is the perfect combination.  I like that Addy just might be our only girl and Frank will be a big brother.  I am so happy to have this baby and snuggle my little newborn.  Oct. 25th is our due date.  I can't believe we are adding another baby and our babies are growing up so much. Addy talks so much now she loves saying yes and no but she has mastered some other words. Hot dog and thank you are my personal favorites.  She says it like this "dant do" She is so very fussy about how she likes things.  Her jackets always have to buttoned up and she loved SHOES.  She loves to cuddle her mom and carry around her baby doll.  He really loves babies, the other day her cousin was in my arms and Addy sat with me for 10 mins and held him with me.  This kid normally can't sit still for more then 2 minutes.  Frank has become quite the charmer.  He knows just what to say to get out of trouble.  I will tell him to take a time out and he says, "but I was just going to say I'm sorry."  His prayers are to die for, "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the day.  When we wake up in the morning, name of Jesus Christ amen!"  The other day we were leaving church and he saw of picture of Heavenly Father and Jesus and pointed to it and told me, "Look mom, Jesus's!"  i corrected him telling him it was Heavenly Father and Jesus and he looked at me and said, "Yeah Jesus's!"  When I asked him who we say our prayers to he paused and then responded proudly, "Nephi!"  Then finally we were laying in bed together and there was a picture of Christ on the wall with his hand stretched out and I asked Frank if he knew what Christ had done for us and his answer was magical.  He said, " Yes, he said hello it's nice to meet you.  I was scared and he said don't be scared it's nice to meet you and I said, Hi my name is Frank and it's nice to meet you!"  I could go on and on but I'm tired and need to catch up on other things so THANKS AND LOVE!

Lifes Update!

So I am a stay at home mom, like a for real stay at home mom.  From sun up to bedtime (and sometimes in between) I am known as MOM!  By definition this title affords me the opportunity to play many roles.  Housekeeper, cook, teacher, mentor, dresser, professional organizer and a lot of other things.  Now I must be honest, I'm not so sure I'm all that great and ANY of these things.  My house has laundry on the floor right now that my kids are using to practice their jumping skills.  Dinner was lacking a salad and Frank is chilling in undies since he spilled dinner all over himself.  I'm not crafty and I stink at playtime but I have come to love some of my new personality traits I've adopted or revived since becoming a TIRED mom.  I am loving! Incredibly able to hug and kiss my kids until their faces fall off.  Doesn't mean I don't get incredible unloving but I say I love you all the time and I am constantly feel overwhelmed by my love for my children.  I am a good cook.  I don't always make dinner BUT when I do it is yummy and people like to eat it ;)  I am happy.  I like to be with my kids and enjoy my time as a mom.  Now the tricky part for me is how to structure my time wisely so that I get ANYTHING done.  I feel so lazy when no one is telling me where to go or risking a grade if I don't attend my class today.  This is life and I'm my own boss and I got to tell you I'm not very bossy! I need help! How do you motivate yourself to exercise and clean the stuff you don't ever clean?  How do you motivate yourself to create a home of loveliness when it might just need to be a house that is livable?  What to do.

Franklin turned 3

Frank turned 3 and I found this great idea on Pintrest that you should ask them the same questions every year on their birthday and then give them to them when they are 18! I love the idea so here is my letter to Frank and his list of questions.


Franklin my sweet little boy! You are so amazing and special to me! I can't believe your 3 years old! You talk 100 miles a minute and you love Dinosaurs.

MOM

Winter is HERE:(

I'm mostly sad about the winter but somehow excited about the prospect of playing in the snow. I love the holidays and I love being with family. I'm not so sure I always felt that way, there was a rebellious side to me that pushed away my family for a long time. Probably because I felt guilty or sad about the person I was. I chose my friends over my family, now, being a parent I can imagine how much that hurt my parents feelings. When I grew out of my selfish stage and became a wife and a mother I was SHOCKED at just how special and beautiful each one of my family members are. My father is one of the most caring men I know. He and I struggle with our relationship because we are such different people but I wished he could know just how much I admire him and want him to be proud of me. My Mother oh my sweet Mother. There is nothing more clarifying then becoming a mother yourself. I have never understood, felt more gratitude for, or just been in awe of who my Mother is. She has helped me with so much throughout my life and more so since I have become a mother myself. She is beautiful and gently and loving and special and truly one of my best friends. My sisters are truly my best friends now. I never thought I would feel that way because I had so much guilt I pushed them as far away as I could. However, Anna, Suzy, Carrie and Sarah are honestly my best friends! I call and cry to them, I ask advice, I laugh ALL the time with them and I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! My brothers are so sweet and kind. Dan has always had a tender spot for me and he is always helpful and loving! Joseph is silly and helpful and always does what I ask him to do even if I shouldn't have asked. I seriously took these people for granted and never saw just how amazing they truly are. I am blessed to have a personal and real relationship with each member of my family. I am blessed to be a Mortimer and I am happy they have forgiven the silliness of a girl who had everything wrong! Friendship is the purest when it is held between family members! There love is endless and meaningful. I love you my family and I am glad I have you for eternity!

Guess who Turned 1!

My tiny baby is one year old! Adelaide is probably the cutest human I know. ON September 1st we celebrated her birthday in style with a Princess and the Frog birthday cake and all our favorite people.


Dear Addy,

You are the sweetest human I know. I am constantly wowed by how smart you are! You love everything girl, pink, shoes, clothes, sparkles and you Mom! You are clever and funny and you think I am super which make me feel great. I am so happy that you came and joined our little family. You round us out and make everyone feel loved and important. However, you never let anyone get away with anything. You will bite Frank is he gets in your way, scream at dad if he tries to take you from me and cry your eyes out if I ever put you down. You are so beautiful my little lady. I am so proud to be your Mom. Heavenly father knew exactly what he was doing when you joined our family!

Rumors

Jake and I are here in Cedar City now! We just arrived one week ago and everyone is adjusting so well. We love the little town, the weather and the great friends we have made. Jake and I will be doing the play Rumors and Jake will be in The Nerd all by himself. Rehearsals have been awesome and fun. It feels good to flex my creative muscle again. Jake and I are both married to different people in the show but we get to make out off stage all during rehearsal so it makes up for it :). I was so worried about our babies not having a babysitter but we got so lucky! Two of our producer’s daughters were so helpful and have been coming to help us out every single night. Jaclyn showed up for a week and has been so helpful as well. So the shows open on July 16th and run on the weekends until August 13th. I have loved being with Jake every night and being in a great new place and experiencing new things together. It was a really scary leap but it has been so worth it and I am so happy to be in CEDAR!

Three Years!

Did you know I married Jake today! I did! I married him and I have never looked back. He is such an incredible partner, such a sweet friend and an amazing father. I think that if three years feels like this I am really looking forward to what 8 and 15 and 40 feel like. I can't wait to see our marriage grow and change. I love creating memories with him. Some of my favorite memories are: When we lived in the teeniest apartment ever and loved being newlyweds. I would cook dinner and he would come home from work. We would dream about the baby that was joining our family and snuggle on the couch until the late hours. I remember when we moved into my parents house and really began our journey towards the temple. Meeting with the Bakers every week to learn about the gospel. Greeting our new little baby Frank and feeling the joy that adding to your family brings. Having Jake attend his first Mortimer reunion (trust me that is a new experience that everyone need!) I remember the winter in our 2nd grownup apartment and Jake had to catch 7 mice SICK! Frank got his own room! I remember being blessed with the apartment we are currently in. Finding this amazing place where we can be a family and welcome our sweet baby girl. Where we go on walks and attend an amazing ward. I have so many small and big memories with the most amazing man ever. However, more then anything I remember the day that Jacob helped all my dreams come true! That day was the day we were sealed as a family for time and all eternity! I knelt across from my sweetheart and felt truly complete. I had everything I had ever wanted. My Heavenly Father blessed me with the ability to be with my amazing husband and beautiful and creative children forever. There is not a more precious gift given. Jake and I have decided to celebrate our anniversary on the day we were married legally. We committed to spending the rest of our lives that day, it was beautiful and life changing. However, the day we were sealed and became a family forever is something so much more important. He hold so much more meaning for me. It means eternity. So on June 13th we get to celebrate being a family forever. We get celebrate remaining worthy of those blessings and we get to remember what a beautful struggle it was to have those blessings. I love you Jacob Ben you are beautiful, creative, lovely, sweet, thoughtful, HOT and most of all my eternal Best Friend! Thank you for FOREVER!
