Octomom

Everyone remembers the Ocotomom.  Today I was watching her on Oprah (from a while back) and first thing when I saw her thought "what a physco mom!"  Like other people thought why the heck would a single mother that already had 6 kids of her own that hardly could afford them have 8 MORE???  Well on Oprah she Nadya confessed she was running out of money and didn’t know where her next paycheck was coming from.
In an effort to help, Oprah suggested that Nadya get a financial intervention from money powerhouse Suze Orman.  Which I absolutely love love!  I think she is brilliant!)

On the Show:

Oprah: If you're watching at home, it's very easy to judge [and say], look how many kids [she had]. But how many of you had two and then had another one when you knew you couldn’t afford the two?

Suze: And that's the point. That’s a big, big point. ... If you can't afford one and you have two, if you can’t afford two and you have three, if you can't afford three and you have four...are you really that much different from what is happening here? I'm just asking you to think about it.

Oprah: And also, for [Nadya], the addiction is babies and medicating herself—literally. I think that's a great term that you call it: self-medicating with children. People do it with their things all the time. How many people have things that they can't afford, and then they go get something else that they can’t afford, living in houses they can’t afford?

This made me think how many people are having babies because they WANT them BUT can't AFFORD them?  Do you think you should continue having children if you CAN'T afford them?

COUSINS

Emma * Brayden * Khloe * Allie

5 out of the 10 Nuttalls are married with kids.  2010 was a busy year for the Nuttalls.  1st came Khloe, then Emma, Allie, and then Brayden.  One more is coming in April!  We are so excited for all these new cousins!  Life is going to be fun!

 Emma and Allie.  I think they look similar.

Grandma Nuttall with Allie

5 MONTHS

Oh my goodness how time flies!  Allie just turned 5 months and I have been saying for a month that she is almost 4 months.  On all the videos I have been recording I have said she is almost 4 months and then one day I realized oh my gosh she is 4 months she is almost 5 months!  She is too little to be 5 months :(  Oh this makes me so sad.  My baby is growing up too fast.  Allie is turning on her side, grabbing toys, holding her head up somewhat during tummy time, and figuring out how to hold things and put them to her mouth.  Allie is still not sleeping through the night.  She still wakes up 2 to 3 times a night.  Dexton was sleeping through the night at 2 months but it doesn't help that Allie has been sick a lot lately.  She is my Angel, my precious, my baby girl, my beautiful Allie!  Oh how I love this little girl!

Kylee turns 18

 This is my sister n'law Kylee.  She is the youngest of 10, the baby :)  Kylee just turned 18!  We celebrated with most of the Nuttall Family at our friends restaurant Chubbys. We had a fun time!  Happy Birthday Kylee!  We love you!

I made this cake for Kylee

 Didn't know what to get her so I called McKenzie to see if girls their age wear purses.  She said yes so that's what I got her.  I love purses!  You can never go wrong with a purse :)

This is Allie and her cousin Brayden.  He is a month younger then Allie. 

Bath Time

It's so funny, Dexton always plugs his ears whenever he is taking a bath.

Snowmobiling

Our brother n'law bought some snowmobiles.  I think Kendell has went snowmobiling every weekend since.  Ha ha.  Dave loves snowmobiling and enjoys hanging out with his brother n'law.

Run Dave Run!

Dave and I had our mind set that we were going to run the Moab 1/2 marathon this year but our friend convinced us to run the St. George 1/2 marathon instead.  It was 1/2 the price of the Moab, holy cow running is expensive!  I immediatly signed  both of us up back in October.  I thought for sure I could be ready to run in January...I wasn't.  We paid $40 each for us to run and I just didn't feel like I was ready nor did we have sitters so that was $40 down the drain.  This was the 1st time I got to just watch and support Dave running.  It was so fun watching him come in and cheering him on.  Man I miss running!  We had so much fun though down in Sunny St. George.  We visited my Aunt and Uncle which I haven't seen for a while.  Dave and Dexton went swimming.  There was no way I was going to get my chubby self in a swim suit lol.  Dave of course got us our hotel room and like always was so nice.  Because Dave stays in hotels a lot he always want to stay in nice ones when we go on vacations.  I'm so glad we got to come down for a couple of days and have a mini vacation with our little family.

Cheer Competition

My little sis McKenzie had a cheer competition that I got to watch at Timpview High School.  They did awesome.  I think they got 2nd place.  UVU cheerleaders performed and honestly most the schools were better then them.  They did not look like they knew what they were doing.  Congrats JHS Cheerleaders! 

Fun Times with my niece and nephews!

Back in January I got to tend my niece Madison and my nephews Parker and Jacob.  Dexton loves playing with kids in general but loves loves playing with his cousins the best!  While the boys were being boys I made some flowers for Madison and her little sister Emma's hair.  Dexton wanted me to put one in his hair and take a picture lol.  Dave is going to kill me ha ha!  Then Madison and I got on line to learn how to make a purse.  It was so easy and fun!  Oh how I love girls and doing girly stuff.  It was so much fun hanging out with Madison!!!
