September Shenanigans

Posted by with No comments
Most of September was just a bunch of random happenings. We have months like that, and it's perfectly okay with me.

{...FASHION SENSE...}
Eric's mom was at Costco one day before we had gone school shopping and saw a cute outfit that she just had to get Ailey. So when I actually had Ailey wear it I had to take a picture. This outfit also came with a grey jacket thing with yellow flowers on it, but it was way too hot this day to put it on as well.


{...JUST DANCE...}
We were watching one of Ailey's best friends while his mom was at the dr. These two decided to play Just Dance and it was hilarious to watch. The song they chose has got to be one of the most difficult dances on the game, but it's also one of the most fun ones. (Sorry for Shaylyn's chatter during the video - she must not have realized I was recording)


{...REPLACEMENT...}
I happened to notice one day that the freezer wasn't freezing things anymore. I mentioned it to Eric as it had happened before and he was able to fix it. When he got home from work he went about trying to fix it the same way, but decided it was a lost cause. 

We took a trip to Best Buy as that was the best payment plan we could find and took a look at what they had. We made our choice, but it was goint to take a week and half to be delivered. That was a crazy long time to go without refrigeration, but we managed using coolers and a lot of boxed and canned foods.

It was almost like Christmas Day for me when my new fridge arrived.

{...Out with the old...}

{...In with the new...}

{...LITTLE DANCING FEET...}
I finally got around to getting Ailey into a dance class. I chose to go with a tumbling, tap and ballet combo class as she's never had any dance before. I thought for sure she'd be all eager to go, but she wasn't nearly as thrilled as she'd led me to believe she'd be whenever she talked about dancing before. Either way, we got her to go and she actually did enjoy herself.




{...CUTE KIDS...}
Jace loves being outside and when he figured out he could play in the backyard, he spent a lot of time there. One day I decided to go sit out there while he played. Ailey joined in a little later and these two just looked so cute that I started taking some pictures. I was super happy with some moments I just happened across.


{...He was giving kisses...}


{...MAKE ROOM DADDY...}
For the most part, Jace and Ailey get along really well. However, they are also both prone to jealousy when mom or dad is holding one and not the other. This almost happened one night with Daddy, but thankfully Daddy has long arms and long legs. The perfect amount of space for 2 little bodies.


{...SILLY DOG...}
There are moments as owners of dogs that make you laugh out loud. This was one such sight. I don't know why our dogs are so attached to soft things...


(...JUST CHILLIN'...}
My older sister sent my little sister and I a text one day with a photo of her daughter in the dryer and with the caption, "I have to get this one out of the dryer." 

My little sister responded with a photo of her 2 year old literally hanging on the bar in the car like a monkey while waiting to get his sister from Kindergarten. She replied with "Haha! Do you need us to buy some towels so you don't have to dry her? Then we have monkey boy over here..."

I quickly snapped this photo of Jace and said, "Don't know why you two are having issues, mine is being an angel."


{...2 YEAR OLD TWINS...}
So I was watching my friends boys again while she had a dr. appt. Jace and her kid are only 4 months apart or so and it gives me a pretty good idea of what having 2 year old twin boys would be like. I'm grateful the Lord never blessed me with twins. I might really be crazy. These two monkeys were having the funnest time peeking through the blinds at absolutely nothing...They are fun, but a lot of work.

A Whole Lotta Sass

Posted by with No comments
For Ailey's birthday, Grandma H. gave her the cutest little outfit. She had called me when she was shopping and tried to explain it to me asking for my opinion. All she had to say was purple and polka dots and I was sold. I had no idea how cute the outfit really was until Ailey received it for her gift.

I figured Nate's 'Graduation' was a perfect time to wear it for the 1st time. I asked her to pose at the school after Nate's Graduation - but the lighting wasn't terribly terrific.


So then I decided that I'd take some photos when we got home. Well, by that time Ailey was all sass. She made me laugh.








Oh how I love my Sassy little girl. That little guy next to her has pretty much won my heart as well. Thanks again for the absolutely adorable outfit, Grandma!

Our Week-End

Posted by with 1 comment
Most of our weekends are pretty laid back, come and go as we please and whatnot. This weekend wasn't. It was a pretty packed weekend, but also so much fun.

THURSDAY - APRIL 28th

Shaylyn had an Achievement Day Recognition Night. Because it was held in the chapel, we all had to get dressed up. I wasn't too thrilled about it for anyone but the girls.

While Eric's mom was looking for Easter dresses, she came across some other dresses that weren't 'springy' or 'Eastery' by any stretch of the imagination - BUT these dresses fit mine and Shaylyn's personalities perfectly (Black for Shaylyn, Hearts for Me). Once his mom discovered that they had the opposite dress for baby girls - she bought both girls the dress.

We got them the same time she gave us the Easter dresses, but because Easter was first these dresses had to wait. I was so excited that they could wear them on Thursday that I had to get some pictures of my cute girls. (And yes Eric I will email these to your Mom as soon as I'm done with this post!)







FRIDAY - APRIL 29th

Lex had his field trip to the zoo, which he wouldn't let us forget about. He even woke up extra early to make sure he'd get there on time. Eric said he'd go to the zoo with him, so Eric took him over to school. Eric said that Lex was so excited he kept saying, "This is my daddy. This is my daddy."

After Eric got Lex all situated he came back to pick up the little kids and I. I wasn't originally planning on going, but as the day got closer I decided, 'What the heck?'

It was kind of a cold day, but tolerable. I didn't take a lot of pictures of Lex because he was always with his group and I didn't want to offend the other mother with us.









Driving home we encounted a snow storm. Luckily we missed it at the zoo and luckily it was a wet snow, so it wasn't too terribly scary. We had the rest of an uneventful night.

SATURDAY - APRIL 30th

Lex's 1st ball game of the season. Why they didn't cancel it - I don't know. We woke up and it had rained/snowed, but it was done doing so and the sun was shining. We left Tanis and Shaylyn home because they just didn't want to go. But we had the two little ones with us. I kept them in their warm jammies hoping it would help keep them warm.

About 5 minutes after we arrived at the game, the sun disappeared and it got COLD! Luckily they called the game a bit early and just in time too as it started snowing again!

Lex did great during the game however and didn't let the cold stop him. He is such a natural at this game and he enjoys it a ton!















SUNDAY - MAY 1st

We finally got around to celebrating Nathaniel's birthday. I felt bad that we did so 2 weeks after his birthday, but the Sunday before his birthday we had just got back from vacation. The Sunday after his birthday was Easter, so it left this past Sunday. I was a bit sad as Eric's parents weren't able to be there as they were in Nebraska visiting Eric's grandparents. All in all though, he had a fun night.







-- My little sister got Nate these jammies. They are perfect for his nickname. --



It also happened to be my Mom's birthday, so I made her a cake and made her blow out the candles as well. She turned 55, thus the 5 candles on each side - we do what we can!

My Little Precious Moments Doll

Posted by with 1 comment
See this cute girl???


She is now referred to as my Precious Moments Doll. My little sister got a bunch of clothes from a few different people and shared with me. She knew how much I love(d) Precious Moments AND overalls, and decided to save the outfit for Ailey. Wasn't that sweet of her?

Eric's mom thinks that Ailey has a face just like a porcelain doll and that is where the doll part of it all comes in.

... I Gave In ...

Posted by with 3 comments
Saturday night we headed out to the valley to my parents. My little brother left some items here when he slept over the weekend before so we were returning them.

The plan was that Eric & I were going to play games with my dad and little brother. Well, my little sister happened to be at my parents as well since her hubby got called out of town on business.

Little sister (going a bit hog wild, since this is her first little girl) decided that she really wanted to return to JC Penney to get some cute baby clothes she saw earlier in the day. (I am still unsure as to why she didn't get anything earlier). So, she eventually convinced my mom to go with her and asked if I wanted to go as well. After getting the okay from Eric (along with "Don't Spend Any Money..."), we headed out.

Now, I've been holding off on getting any clothes for this new baby for 2 main reasons. #1: I know that we had quite a bit for Shaylyn and I have just been too lazy to go through the hassle of getting them all out and #2: I'm a doubty mustafa (I love Aladdin) and still can't believe this baby is a girl at times...

So we walk in the store and I finally gave in and bought this little girl 2 new outfits. They were having a HUGE sale, so that was one reason and there were just a couple things I thought were so cute.

Item #1:


Now I got this one for sentimental type reasons. Ever since I was little my parents have called me "Bug" and always associated it with a lady bug - so I HAD to get that outfit.

Item #2:


Okay, yellow is one of my fave colors. And I was thinking of Baby Girl's big sister Shaylyn who absolutely LOVES butterflies. I knew at least Shaylyn would think it was a cute outfit. Plus, who can resist cute little pictures on the bum?

So that is all I bought and only spent $20. Not bad at all. And hubby wasn't too upset with me either. He didn't really care about the outfits (after all he is a guy and he is also aware of the amount of clothing Shaylyn had as a baby), but Shaylyn was thrilled with the cute little butterfly one.

I guess I should add that my little sister bought the same two outfits for her baby as well, along with some other items. We did it kind of on purpose. We will be able to get a pic of the little girls in the lady bug outfit together, but not the yellow butterfly.

Since my baby is due first, I purposely got a smaller butterfly outfit and a bigger ladybug outfit. Little sister bought a bigger butterfly outfit and a smaller ladybug outfit. Yeah, I guess we are going a little crazy having babies together - but it's so much fun!
