I don't make sense!

So tonight I sat Josh down to read our blog. I told him to read it out loud...... Wow!!! I don't make any sense sometimes. I use words that don't go and misspell all the time. I don't use the right punctuation either. Always hated English and was never any good at it. OK, I will admit it... I'm a little dyslexic. I usually use the word "the" for "to" Its just the way my fingers type I guess??? I'm so sorry to all my readers. You probably sit back and scratch your heads thinking....what??? So I hope you know what I'm trying to say........I need more then just spell check!

Playing Catch Up

Ok here is Lexi with her new back pack. You might think that she is going to school, but she's not. I got it for church. So we could put toys, snacks, diapers, wipes, etc.... in it. So I put it on her and she loved it, and did not want to take it off. In the third pic you can she that she is running away for Roxy coming in the door, to cute!!!

Here is Lexi just playing around but in style! She loves her sunglasses. She is my little diva!

This is just a cute picture. They love each other so much. Lexi is so soft with Hailey and wants to help all the time. Hailey just laughs at Lexi and I can tell she really wants to play with Lexi.


This is what I do EVERY night before I go to bed. Clean up the mess that Lexi leaves behind. Sometimes I do catch her put some things away, but most the time it looks like this. I don't mind it one bit. Last week I just put the girls in the same room together. Hailey was in our room. So both cribs are in the same room and it is working out pretty good so far. They both sleep though the night so one does not wake the other. I'm so blessed to have such good sleepers.

DON'T MESS WITH THE BUNNY!!!

Lexi has this pink bunny and it is her favorite animal. Thanks to aunt Jenni that got it for her when Lexi was born. Jenni she LOVES IT! Anyway... She takes this bunny anywhere and everywhere she can. She can not sleep without it. She hugs it, kisses it, sleeps with it, plays with it, puts it in Hailey's swing when shes not in it, and sometimes eats with it(if mommy lets her) So you can only imagine how dirty it can get.......



Here it what happens when she sees me put it in the wash. I know I know..... Poor Lexi, but it needs baths too. I do not like to see her cry at all!!! So I think the next bath bunny gets, I have to sneak it.

Here is Hailey always happy and smiling. The first picture is her newest thing. I don't even know what it is called, but I always wanted one for Lexi when she was little. They are so expensive. I got this one at Target on sale for $20 usually $50. I thought that it was a good deal and had to get it. Hailey loves it. She is starting to grab at things and notice what her hands are for.

The next pic is when Lexi was trying to play with Hailey and gave her and showed her all the toys she was playing with. Hailey LOVED it. Hailey would just giggle and smile at her the whole time. It is the cutest thing ever.

Lexi loves balloons! Here is just some cute pics of her while she was helping mommy move the guest room to the other room. The old guest room is now Lexi and Hailey's room.

My best friend, Tiffany come to visit us last weekend. Tiff and I have been best friends for 14 years. We meet in 6th grade and where inseparable, until she moved to Cali the summer after our freshmen year. I was so sad that she moved away, but we have stayed the very best of friends all these years. We would see each other every year. But the last time I saw her was 3 years ago and she finally made a trip up to see us. It was so much fun seeing her and hanging out again. Nothing really to catch up on, since we talk to each other 3 or 4 times a week sometimes more. Anyways she got here on Thursday. We just hung out at the house.

On Friday we went shopping at the mall and had a blast. We both love to shop! After shopping we went to eat sushi. Josh and I have never had sushi in our lives. But Tiff loves it and told me that when she comes to visit that we have to try it. Well...... It was alright. I like the sushi rolls. Was not a fan of just the raw fish. I would have the rolls again. But I would only go with someone that knows sushi.



On Saturday Tiff and I went snowboarding. Josh told me to go and that he would stay at home with the girls. I did not want to go with out him, but he made me go. It was nice to take a break for a little bit. So we went about 11am and headed up to Bogus Basin. I have never been snowboarding until Saturday. Tiff has been once, two years ago. So here we are, have no idea how to do it. It was so fun though. We were on the bunny hill all day. The first time we went down it took us like an hour to get down. ha ha. Then we took a break and got lunch. Then back to the bunny hill. ha! We were there until about 5pm. We could have stayed until 11 that night. But we were so tired and I missed my babies.

Here is me snowboarding. I could not figure out how to stop, so I just fall on my butt!!!! hahaha

On Sunday we went down town to meet Heidi, a friend from middle school and high school. She lives here in Boise. Small world. I saw Heidi at the mall when we first moved here. Some one called my name, I turned around and it was Heidi. Anyways we meet her and her fiance for lunch and had a great time. After lunch we drove around and showed Tiff the town, and took pics before Tiffany had to leave. It was so good to see her. She loved the girls and was so cute with them. The little pink jump suits that Lexi and Hailey are wearing are from Tiffy. To CUTE!!! They love their auntie Tiffy!!!

Just a cute pic


On the way home from dropping off Tiff at the airport, Lexi was so tired and sleepy. Its so funny and cute.

Lexi's hair is in her eyes all the time unless I pull it back in pigtails. So I though it was time to cut her bangs. Yay! She can see so much better.

Ok. Holy cow this is one long post, but I needed to catch you up on everything. Untill next time...

5 hour dinner

On Friday I got Josh to take the night off. I wanted to go eat at P.F. Chang's and go to Target. So we got ready and of course took the girls with us. Its not easy for us to leave them behind.... We left the house at 6pm. Drove to the restaurant and got our name on the list. The wait.... an hour and a half long! Ok we don't mind waiting, but it's not easy to keep a one year old entertained for that long. But it was ok. After watching party's of two get called and then watching the same couples leave before we even got called, it was almost 8. Good thing we weren't starving!!! So we finally got to our table and strapped Lexi in her highchair! The hole time we were there, there was this older couple keeping Lexi entertained. Our table was by the bar and the guy kept making faces and Lexi would copy. It was fine, but then that couple got their table and it was right next to us..... I was thinking oh great! But it was fine they were really nice and kept Lexi happy the hole time. Hailey was fine the hole time. She just sat in her car seat. I did have to feed her a couple of times. She is so easy at this age. So we got done and to our car about 10. Then we were stuck trying to get out of the parking garage for 45 min and got home at 11. Over all it was a go night but OMG!!! That was the longest dinner I have ever done. It really didn't cost us that much either. We got a gift card for P.F. Chang's from Josh's grandparents for Christmas. So tip was $7. Parking was $10. 2 movie rentals at the redbox $2. 5 hour dinner trip with the girls priceless!!!We never made it to Target that night. Obviously!

Baby Blessing

On Sunday Hailey got her baby blessing from her daddy. I love baby blessings they are so special. Hailey is such a blessing to our family. I love her and Lexi with all my heart. It is a blessing to be a mom. I enjoy everyday with my two most beautiful girls, and love to watch them grow up and play together. I am blessed to be able to stay home and care for them. I love you girls!

Christmas at the Christiansen's

This Christmas we had it at our house. It was the first time that I had cooked a turkey dinner for everyone. I must say that it did turn out pretty darn good. My parents and little sister came up here for a week. Tricia(my sis) arrived at our house Christmas eve. That night we got the girls in their new Pjs and we also got Tricia some pjs too. Got the girls off to bed and started rapping presents. Christmas morning got up and started to prepare the turkey to put in the oven. We got the girls up and opened presents. It was so fun watching Lexi open her presents. She would rip a piece off and hand it to us, rip a piece and hand it to us. So funny. Hailey just sat in my lap and watched Lexi run around. My Parents got here Christmas day. We had Josh's grandparents over for turkey dinner. After dinner we opened some more presents. I love Christmas! It is my favorite Holiday. I was so blessed to have my sister and parents come. We love you guys! And thanks again for everything!

That Friday we all went to the Stealheads hockey game. Josh's uncle Joe and Cousins(Ben and Brian) were there and had seats right next to us. It was so fun and the Stealheads won! On Saturday Josh and my dad went to work. While us girls went to the mall. Sunday just chilled out at the house. Monday we went on a train ride along the Payette river. It was so beautiful with all the snow. On Tuesday I think was just another chill day. Josh worked all that night Tuesday and didn't get home till 7:30 Wednesday morning. He got me up and we got ready to go to a wedding in McCall. It is about a 2 and half hour drive north. We were there for the wedding and headed home about 8 that night. So Josh has not slept since he got up Tuesday morning to go to work. Got back to help tear down all the stuff for our ward New years party. Because Josh and I are on the activities committee at our church. So we felt like we need to help. Oh yea on Tuesday we helped set up for the party. So we got home that night about one in the am and didn't go to bed til about 2. Josh has been such a trooper! He was well over not sleeping for 24 hours. He did not complain once. I love my husband! And then Thursday we all got up and went out to eat before my mom, dad. and sister left. We had so much fun.

My New Years resolution is to eat better. No soda or sugar! For those that know me. I love soda and its going to be hard! But I want to lose weight and I'm going to be back in my bikini this summer! Wish me luck.
