Halloween 2012

Halloween this year was a bit harder than I thought it was going to be.  Allen had to end up working late so I ventured out by myself and the girl.  We went to the bank where Allen's sister works and trick or treated there...which I hope to do that every year...so easy and warm. (this year didn't matter for the warm part...it was 65 degrees until the sun went down, crazy)  Then headed over to the neighborhood trunk and treat to say hi to everyone!!!  

 She got to where she new what to do if now one was by the bucket...help herself of course, but I had to watch her to make sure she only took one or Two!!!

 Addie was running to every bucket of candy. 

 Livi was tuckered out and fell asleep on the way home.

 This is a rare picture because Addison never likes to take pictures.  She actually looks like she's enjoying herself.  This is a treasure for me.

Pumpkin Patch 2012

 The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun this year.  Addison had so much fun picking our her pumpkins, yes she got two small ones and Livi got 3 small ones,  because I also needed them for my 4th Sunday Lesson for church.

Livi had a great time riding in the wagon by herself.  She is sitting but really unstable at times so we came prepared with the bumbo!

Labor Day

Labor day was great this year.  All the peaches were ready to can, so we headed to Gooding to visit.  The weather was really nice and the wind hardly blew.  We put away 100 quarts and 50 pints of peaches in one day.  I was pretty proud of ourselves. We went boating, had a picnic and enjoyed the day. 

Girls Trip to visit Home

My sister-in-law and I decided we were going to load up the girls and take a trip Home to visit.  Well  for me it's almost a 10 hr drive.  I drove down to salt lake the night before and the next day we left for home.  I think I was as bad as the girls on this trip...I wondered if we were ever going to get there.  We did and had a great time

Livi is thinking as to whether she likes the Bumbo...

The Girls!! Addison at 23 months Livi at 2 1/2 months

Trying on hats is so much fun.  Just another day in the life of a mom and two girls



It has sure been a lot of fun around her having two girls.  Allen is feeling outnumbered, but he sure loves his girls too!!!  Addie is looking so big and Livi is growing and changing.  I don't know it longating is a word but I think Livi is growing into her baby chub and it's making her look older too.
I think I'm finally getting a few smiles out of this girl.

 Asleep and so precious I think

I really wanted Livi's eyes to stay blue like her sister but I think their going to be brown

She is my outdoor girl.  We are outside most of the day whether it's in the back yard or able to go to the park she takes what every she can get and then cries sometimes when it's time to come in

 It's so fun to see Addie's imagination come to life as she's playing. 

 Livi is starting to watch the tv, and Addie'll let her sit by her and even if she's not happy with it I insist. 

Livi's growing.  I had to adjust the straps in the carseat from the lowest to the middle so she would fit

It seems like Addie is re-discovering everything that Livi is using.  Sometimes it's cute but then others it's annoying because I just need to put the baby in either the swing or the bumbo and I don't need TWO BABIES CRYING. 

This little girl is addicted to otter pops

Livi likes to cuddle and Maggie gets jealous some of the time

Livi has the cutest little look.  Right now she's learning to focus and she goes cross eyed sometimes, so when I think of her this is the face I see. 

This almost 2 yr old is full of energy.  She and I are trying to get through this already terrible two stage.  She is a good girl but has her moments and I just have to remind myself I have those same moments. 

Baby Girl#2...27 Weeks!!

Cort, this is for you. 

I am now 27 weeks.  My belly really popped out 3 weeks ago.  I was hoping this time around it wouldn't do that, but I guess we can be sure it's always going to do it now.  I never have Allen around when I need him to take pictures so these bad shots will have to do.  I will be sorry later if I don't post any pictures. 

Haircut!!!

I haven't gotten around to getting a haircut since July and let me tell ya I was ready.  My ends were damaged and I just needed a lift.  Well I don't know if this happens to many but every time I change my style just a bit it never looks like the picture of the haircut I give them, (I saw a friends picture from high school on facebook and wanted a cut like hers) and I'm just trying to figure out why????  I know all hair is different and all but can't you get pretty close....a professional should I think.  I think if you pay over $25 dollars for a haircut it ought-a be one you ask for.

My haircut isn't bad and I will be able to work with it and in about 2 weeks it will be a lot better.  This just happens every time.  Maybe I'm the difficult one!!!!  :) :)  I thought I better start journaling more of my thoughts.  Next thought will be happy. ha ha

This is the cut I was trying to get

Thanks Dani for the haircut Idea!!
