Post it!

On Tuesday Josh and I went to his company Christmas dinner/party, at a really nice restaurant, called Barbacoa. We ended up dropping off Lexi at Gma's and took Hailey with us. Hailey is kinda attached to me. We had a really nice time. Josh and I shared a Filet Mignon on a rock. It was really cool. It comes out cooking on a hot rock and they set this sauce on fire and poor it on your steak. It was so cool! It was the first time I have every tried Lobster tail and scallops too. I am not a fish person, but i must say I did enjoy it, and will have it again someday. We also had live music. It was a one man show, but OMG he is so good. He song and played the guitar. But not only that he would do a beat on his guitar and record it and then replay it for the song he was going to sing. I don't know how to explain it, but he was amazing. and so was the food.

Hailey's Milestones

I put her to bed like this at night and in the morning......

I wake up and she has scooted herself up by her animals.

Tummy time

Lifting her head

Getting so strong

Mommy is so proud of her little baby girl. Look at that smile! I just love her so much!

Here is Lexi talking. She walks around talking on my phone. Liston closely and you will hear her say Hi, Hello, and Bye. I'm so excited to have her say some words. She can also say bath "ba" Bunny "bu" sissy "sissssss" Mom "Mumma" Dad "da" and she signs for milk.

Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow....Trying to sing

We got some snow here in Idaho. Not a hole lot, but enough to make Josh and I happy. We are hopping for a White Christmas. Never got one in AZ....maybe one. So we better get one here! Maybe this year I'll finally get to go snowboarding!?! I hope so. I have always wanted to go and Josh said that he will take me this year. We will see.... Stay turned.

The other night we were getting Lexi ready for bed, and put Hailey in her bed with her. Lexi loved it. I can't wait until they can sleep together. I can just see it now and how they will cuddle each other. Lexi just loves her little sister. Hailey loves her big sister too. Every time Hailey sees Lexi she just smiles so big, and lets off a little giggle. I love it! Every time Lexi gets a hold of a bottle she goes right to Hailey and tries to feed her. Its so fun watching Lexi and trying to play with Hailey. I just love them so much!!!

Lexi showing Hailey her nose. Daddy right there so she won't poke her eyes.

Sister love

Lexi is getting to big to lay like this. Every night I go in to check on her she is like this with her feet hanging over the edge. We fixed her bumper so she can't do that anymore.

Wearing daddy's jacket. It might be a little to big.

The girls

The other night Josh got Hailey to laugh. It is so cute! She is 3 months today.
You might want to scroll done and stop the music so you can hear the video better.

I don't have any of picture of the girls in the house. We really needed some pictures of them. I've been wanting to get family pictures done for awhile. I want them done professionally, but its so much money. So I decided to do my own of the girls. No, they are not the best, and yes, I could have done better. But at least now I have some pictures of the girls up on the walls. Finally! At least until I can go get them done. I don't know how they can get a one year old to sit still and smile at the same time. It was not easy. Lexi did really good with Hailey. She sat still and smiled cause she just loves her sister. Here are the best ones that I got.

The Grandma's (mom's) can expect some photos of their grand daughters in the mail shortly.

Cute outfits. Thanks Sandy! We love you.

Time for an update. First of all, I hope that everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We did excited for the part when I got really sick on the night of my birthday. Yeah no fun. Well, For Thanksgiving we went to Josh's grandparents house. Gma and Gpa had a pretty full house. Some of Josh's aunts, uncles, cousins, and there kids were there, about 15 people. We had a good time. The next day was my 26th birthday. Yeah I know I'm getting old! We didn't do much. Josh made my favorite breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes. We got ready and left the house about 4pm. Waisted some time at the mall. Ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. And tried to go see 4 Christmas's. Well we didn't make it though the first 3 minutes, cause Lexi would not sit still. Its a good thing that they reimburse you if you have to leave. So we got some movies at the red box and went home. Later that night I got really sick throwing up and all. Yuck not sure if it was food poisoning or the flu? No fun! Ruined the rest of the weekend. But I'm better and thank goodness that the girls and Josh didn't get sick. I hear its going around, so wash yours hands a lot! ;)

New Car

Even though everyone is down sizing with how the gas prices are, and the economy. We on the other hand are upgrading. We got a new(used) car well.... SUV. Our little Honda was not cutting it having two kids now. We needed something bigger and more room. So my dad ended up finding this Suburban in Prescott for a really good deal, and we could not past it up. Josh ended up flying to Prescott to get it and drove it back. Its good to have a bigger car. We don't really go anywhere so its not really that bad in gas. Everything is really close to where we live. Now we have room for our family to ride with us, when they come for a visit. Looks like my parents are coming for Christmas. Yay! Can't wait. This will be their 4th time coming since we moved. So now we can fit 4 more people in the suburban. We could not even fit one person in the Honda, the carseat took up all the room. It's been really nice to just get in the back seat and feed Hailey, and change the girls. I rather change the girls in the car where its clean then in a gross public restroom. I love it.! Thanks to my dad for finding it for us! Our Honda is up for sale. I hope someone will buy it. Not very many people are buying right now, so we'll see how it goes.

Good bye little car

Hello big Suburban

!

Halloween

Halloween outfitsHailey as a pink bunny So cute!Lexi as lady bug Lexi, Gma and Gpa So cute! Wanting to go outsideGma with the girls Gma and Hailey See her tail. ;)

Ok so for Halloween Josh and I didn't dress up. Josh had to work that night and we never got our costumes done. :*( But I did dress the girls up. Lexi was a lady bug and Hailey was a bunny. I bought Lexi's and made Hailey's. We ended up going to Gma and Gpa's house to hang out and hand out candy to the kids. Lexi had fun seeing all the kids. She wanted to go outside with them and would fuss a little when we shut the door. I was bummed that Josh had to work even though we had nothing planned. I had fun at Gma and Gpa's house. Thanks for having us!

So nothing has really happened since Halloween. We are just hanging out and watching the girls grow up. Lexi is walking all over the place now. Hailey still sleeps a lot, but smiles a lot while she is awake. I have to say the I am so lucky to have the best girls in the world. I'm so grateful to be a mom and that my girls are so good to me. I thank the Lord every day for the life of them and sending them to me. I can't imagine my life with out them. Josh and I love them so much and would do anything for them. Its true that life is not the easiest with kids but SO WORTH IT! I thought that I would have a hard time with 2 so close together and so far its been ok. Lexi loves to help with Hailey. If I feed Hailey a bottle Lexi would want to hold it. If Hailey is crying, Lexi will go over to her and rock her or at least try to comfort her. Its so amazing how a one year old knows want to do sometimes. Lexi make me laugh everyday. And sometimes she makes me cry, but a good cry. If I'm holding her at night before I put her down for bed. She will hold me and play with my hair and its just so cute and can't help it to tear up a little. Gosh I love that girl! I can't wait for Hailey to grow up and they can play. I think that they are going to be very best friends.
