Memorial Weekend 2012

We were able to spend another Memorial day donwn in gooding with Allen's family.  Maybe we will make it a tradition to be down there every year.  We have been since we've been married!! The weather was windy, cold and rainy, but on Monday it was a perfect day.  So much so, we didn't want to leave.  We just wanted to stay sitting on the back pourch gabbing.  I really can't believe that in a few days, Livi will be 2 months.  Wow, time goes so fast when you look back.  I should pattent that saying since I've adopted it.  Allen was sick on sunday so I took the girls to church by myself for the first time...I had Sandra there to hold one of them, but it wasn't easy.  I know this might be bad to say, but until Livi is 6 months old, I will not be going to church by myself with the girls.

 It's so fun to see Sierra and Addie becoming friends.  They are 10 months apart, have similar personalities, and need to see each other more.  I guess we'll just have to visit grandma more often.

Addie supervising Daddy!!

We finally are going to prepare for our garden.  We borrowed our neighbors rototiller, and Allen got to work.  Addie sure loves being outside helping her daddy.  She was quite good at staying in her chair so she wouldn't get in the way of the machine.  Actually she was glad to have the distance.  Machines and loud noises kinda scare her.   

Olivia at 6 weeks

My little Olivia is growing up so fast.  It's already been six weeks.  She is a good baby and definitely has more patience than her older sister.

•  She's nursing really well and gaining.  I can already tell she is going to grow on a normal scale
• Livi's eyes look like they will be blue, but some days they look like they could go brown.  Time will tell
• We are a pooping machine around here.  She has a blowout everyday and sometimes more per day.  I'm not use to this...every time I change her diaper, I usually have to change her cloths too!!
• WE are already attached to the binky.  During the day, she can't fall asleep without it.  At night nursing still puts her to sleep without any fuss.
• We almost have a smile out of this little girl. Give us a week and it will probable be a laugh.
• She's making little sounds and noises.  They just melt mommies heart.  

I love this girl so much and she is her own little personality. It has been so fun to see what she does different than Addison.  I can tell they come form the same stock, but are individual.

Our life in "Too Many Pictures"

Usually when the second baby comes you get less and less pictures.  Well I was so sad that I didn't get enough pictures of Addie when she was under 2 months so I think I've gone overboard with taking pictures of the both of them the past few weeks.  Oh well, at least I have them for now.  I just have to keep this up, but I'm gonna have to get an extra external hard drive just to put all these pictures on.

This is addie's new favorite thing to do...mow the grass with daddy.  When she hears the mower start up she gets upset that he's doing with without her.

Addison is looking like such a big girl.  I think it has a lot to do with Olivia being born, but I am excited for her to start having conversations with me.  (it's coming slowly but surly)

When this little girl was about 3weeks, she thought her fussy time should be around 9 when mommy was ready for bed, so daddy would take her until she fell asleep (which was around 11) and let me get some sleep. One night I couldn't sleep so I came out and found this.  It was a precious moment

My grandpa (pappa) got her this dress.  I think it's so cute and so does Allen, but he thinks she's ready to go to school for the day!!!  ha ha

One of our favorite things to to is sit on the porch, but not in the morning when the sun it hot but sometimes the little girl doesn't understand that.

Addison all of a sudden likes to pull your shirt up and look for belly buttons. 

I think she's hungry.  She's gonna eat my face. I laughed for awhile on this one.

My precious Livi at 5 weeks

Addie sure loved wearing this hat to match the overalls.

Livi is trying to roll.  She is also kicking her feet and thinking about sucking on her hands

Addie has to have her bunny and teddy bear all the time.  She can't sleep without them.

We spend a lot of time in my room on the bed watching movies and playing(Im getting my disney fill)

Addie is almost mastered putting on her shoes.  She sure loves trying.  Sometimes she sits in her room for 20 minutes trying and others she is crying for me in a matter of seconds because she can't get them on and has lost her patience. (which she doesn't have much of, so we take it when we can get it)

Life with two girls!

Wow, life just gets so busy with TWO (girls I might add..not always the most patient or able to entertain themselves very well...ha ha) and it's not always easy that's for sure!!!!.  I really have loved most of it though.   When I am having a bad day, All I have to do is look at my beautiful girls, and I know IT'S ALL WORTH IT.






















Here are some pictures of the girls together.  You can see as time goes by, they are liking each other better and better.  (okay they are getting use to the idea that they are going to be together for a long time!!!)
