The Provo 5

I am the mother of 3 fabulous children. They are my entire world. Isabella is 5, Gabriella is 2 and Gunner is 4 months. I am married to my best friend and amazing father, Craig.

 Isabella is 5, going on 15. She thinks she is one of the adults and that she runs the house. Her father and I are trying very hard to try and change her mind about this but no progress yet. She is in Kindergarten and is improving everyday. She sounds out all the words and reads simple books to us. It's amazing that my baby is reading. Bella loves to dress up and do her makeup. She is a great big sister and plays good with Gabby, most of the time. She loves to give hugs and is very sweet but don't let that fool you she is as rough as any boy her age. Bella goes to gymnastics every Wednesday and loves it.

,  Gabriella is 2 years old. She looks cute and innocent but looks can be deceiving. She is very smart and is now learning her colors, still working on blue, green, and red. She is also working on her shapes: she knows circle so far. Out of now where one day recently when we were playing hide and go seek she counted to 11. She misses a few numbers sometimes but she amazes me everyday. Just 4-5 months ago I was worried that she wasn't talking very much and now she is saying 4-5 word sentences. Gabby is very independent and will go in the playroom and occupy herself for a period of time, something Bella never did at her age. She loves her Bell and Buddy, what she calls Gunner and refuses to call him by his name. Gabby always replies "Right" instead of yes when asked questions. She is hilarious.

 Last is Gunner! He is 4 months today and the most precious baby. He is usually quiet and just watches his crazy sisters, but lately he is learning that screaming is how we communicate in this house. He is mastering rolling over both ways right now. He is differently a Mama's boy. He has the most amazing smile that takes up his whole face that you can't help but smile back at. Gunner, or Buddy as we call him most of the time, has made our family complete. He is sleeping through the night occasionally. Sometimes he gets up once a night for a bottle and a few other times to have his pacifier put back in his mouth. He is growing too last which makes me sad because he is gonna be my last baby. Gunner is also able to sit in a chair by himself and loves being in his exersaucer. I am so excited to see him grow, maybe he will be my calm child.

My husband is Craig and we have been married for 8 years. We have worked very hard to build this beautiful family. I couldn't ask for anymore in life, but I do complain a lot about stupid stuff (need to work on that). Our favorite past time is just playing with our 3 amazing kids. I am grateful that he is such a hands on dad. He will even polish nails! He has done a good job of making our girls tough with all their wrestling and rough play. This year I am trying to document my families moments as much as possible through a blog but with 3 little ones it can be hard to do!!!!!
