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.

What a fun weekend!

This weekend Josh's cuz and his wife(Brandon and Sabina) came for a visit. We had so much fun while they were here. We stayed up way to late and ate to much. Its been a long time since I stayed up like we did. The night they got here, Josh had to work. He didn't get home until 5 in the morning. We stayed up and wait for him. While we waited we played guitar hero. We didn't go to bed til 6am. We got up about 11am got ready and went to the mall. Sabina and I found some amazing deals at this cute store called Vanity. Its my new favorite store. I'm trying to change my look, and that that's the store to do so. I'm such a Tshirt and jeans type of girl. I'm sick of it and time for a change. On Saturday we went to the indoor kart track and the boys raced. Josh's dad just moved to Boise and is living with his parents for the time being, and they meet us there. Josh, Brandon and Chris(Josh's dad) raced. While Sabina, Gma and Gpa, and I with the girls watched. I did not mind watching. It was fun watching the guys be like little boys and having fun. After each race they all had the biggest smiles on their faces. After that we went down town and walked around a little bit. We had fun in a store called Anthropologie. Its one of our favorite store down town. It's this cute vintage store. Sabina and I had so much fun taking pictures with some accessories. We also walked down this ally way to look at all the graffiti on the walls. We saw some people talking pictures ,and thought we should take our own pictures. That was fun too. On Sunday we went for a bike ride along the river all the way down town, which is a pretty long ride. About 6 miles or more, just to down town then we had to ride back. We rode our bikes down town and had some lunch and headed back. It was such a nice day. The trees were all changing colors it is so pretty. Wondering what we did with the girls? We took them with us of course. We pulled them in trailers behind our bikes. Josh had one and I had the other. Lexi loved it! Hailey slept the whole time. Brandon and Sabina left Sunday night. We wish they could have stayed a little longer! We had so much fun with them! We all get along so well together. I hope someday we can be back together soon :) ha.

Here some cute pictures of the girls.

Excited for Halloween

Today I got Lexi's Halloween costume. She is going to be a Lady bug. I'm thinking for Hailey she will be a pink bunny. Since the baby costumes that they have at the stores are not that cute. I will have to make it. Well it's not that hard, just get some pink sweats and make ears out of a headband. As for Josh and I.... Heck yeah we are going to dress up! Even tho we don't have any plans to go or do anything, we are still dressing up. We have been making own costumes for 3 years now. Well..... Josh is going to be Jack from Jack in the box, and I'm going to be Wendy from Wendy's. We wanted to dress the girls up to match us some how, but could not think of anything cute. We thought maybe they could be little Wendy's, but didn't like that idea. We looked up different mascots for fast food and while there was nothing cute for little girls. So when I saw the Lady bug costume at Target, I could not resist. I could not wait to get home and put it on Lexi. Here is a video of Lexi walking around the house with it on. The other video is Hailey smiling. Yep Lexi is walking all by herself and Hailey is smiling. And..... well I'm smiling too. I'm so happy at their accomplishments. I am a proud mommy to my beautiful little girls.

Here are some pictures of what we were for Halloween last year and the year before. We were Pirates the year before last. We enter into a costume contest to win a trip to the Caribbean, and well we did not win. I thought we did a pretty good job on own costumes tho. What do you think?Rrrrrrrr.....

Last year we were the Flintstones. We went to the sundogs game(hockey) back home and entered into a costume contest there, and well...... We WON! We won an autographed hockey stick signed by the team. I think we won cause we had Pebbles. Lexi made on cute Pebbles.

Sandy, Jani, and Jordyn's visit

On Monday night Sandy, Jani and Jordyn(Josh's mom and little sisters) came in for a visit and stayed til Saturday. We had so much fun. I loved watching the girls play with Lexi. Lexi Thought it was so fun to have someone her size around. She loved Jordyn. They played with each other so well I was really surprised. Jordyn has so much energy for a four year old. Her 4th birthday is on Monday the 13th. Happy Birthday Jordyn! Jordyn was so cute, she would go around the house telling Lexi to follow her. She would say in a soft voice "Baby Lexi come on baby Lexi" Jordyn would want to hold Hailey and she would hold her for like a minute and want to go play. She is to cute! Jani loved playing with Lexi too, she also loved to hold Hailey and she would hold her forever if she could. Jani was so good with both the girls she is a little helper, and she is only 10, well almost in Nov. She is so grown up already. Jani made Lexi and Hailey the cutest blankets, she even made one for Lexi's baby. Thanks Jani for the cute blankets. And Sandy loved every minute she got with both the girls. She is so good with girl since she had 4 girls herself. She loves to buy the girls new toys and clothes just like any Gma would do. Jordyn had a drawing board and Lexi loved to draw on it, so when we went to Target Sandy got her on, and some toy bottles for her baby that she got for her birthday. She loves her new toys. Sandy got Hailey and music box that lights up and sings twinkle little star. She also got both the girls matching outfits they are so cute! Thanks Sandy we love you! Anyway about what we did while they were here. We went shopping and Target for a couple of hours, which I love to do cause I love Target. Josh and I go there at least twice a week. Sometimes we just chilled out at the house and played. We went to the zoo. The girls just had a blast there. They love animals. I was impressed with the zoo and we will probably go back again. We loved to watch the monkeys, Josh and I could watch them all day. It was a cold and rainy day but we still had fun. It was fun taking pics of the girls. We also curved pumpkins. Jani curved her pumpkin all by herself! She did an awesome job. Jordyn drew a cute face on hers and mom curved hers out. Both the girls did an awesome job. I was impressed. Then it was sad to let them leave but I hope that they can come back a visit again. I had lots of fun! Thanks for everything Sandy! You are the best mother in law I could ask for I love you! Thanks to Jani and Jordyn too. I love and miss you girls so much!

Well it is officially fall here in Boise. It went from 75 degree whether to below 50 over night this week. And last night it snowed!!! Yep snow! Maybe it went from summer to winter and skipped fall. I could not believe it. So today the mountains were covered with snow. Its so pretty, but really cold. Lexi loved looking out the window at the snow falling. I got some pic that you will notice in the slide show. Hailey is doing well. She is just to cute! She doesn't do much. You know she's so little all she does is eat, sleep and poop, eat, sleep and poop and poop some more. I love it! Well enjoy the slid show.

Lexi Walking!!!

Ok time for an update! So its almost been 4 weeks since Hailey was born. I must say that we are all doing pretty good. My recovery is going very well. Josh has been home a lot to help. It good to have Josh around when ever I need him. That's the perks of working your own schedule. We both love the job he has. Anyway, Hailey is doing very well! I wish that I had more pictures of Hailey, I do but they are on my phone and I don't have the cord to put them on the computer. I will take more so I can post them for all my readers. But tonight we got video of Lexi walking all by herself for the first time. We are very excited about this. As you watch the video you may notice her hair is crazy, that's cause of the ponytail she had in earlier. But I must say that she is just to freaking cute!!!
