October-November

Wow I swear I've been meaning to update but my life has been SUPER crazy these last few months. I'm finally feeling like I'm getting my feet under me. Here are some pictures of things we've been doing. We went to the pumpkin patch with my family this is a yearly tradition. Dusty went deer hunting so all of us girls played in Scipio. Allie loves playing in the leaves as you can see. I don't have any pictures of here in her Halloween outfit she was a cute bumble bee. Our family ended up going to Arizona the week of Halloween. My Aunt passed away after battling cancer for 12 years. I was so glad we were able to make it for the funeral she is an amazing lady and will be missed.
November came and went as a blurr. I really don't know what we did but I'm sure we had fun. Our ward volleyball team took regionals it was SO much fun. We had such a great team. I'm sad it's over. Oh I almost forgot me and a couple of friends went to Salt Lake for a girls overnighter and saw New Moon. We loved it and couldn't help screaming like junior high girls. We stayed up pretty much all night talking. It was a much needed trip we had so much fun. It was Dusty's first night alone with both girls he did such an amazing job. When I cam home the house was clean both girls were dressed and looked pretty good. I might have to do this more often :)

Anyway that's the last two months in a nutshell. We've got SO many things coming up in December. My brother Jake and his Wife Paris and Jaxen their son come into town next week and we can't wait. Allie is so excited to see Jaxen. I'll make sure and take pictures!!!

Woops... I just realized I didn't give any updates on Aubrie. She is 4 months old now is 16 lbs and is so happy. I swear i forget she is around sometimes because she is so pleasant. I love my girls so much.

Crazy Month

The last couple of weeks have been crazy! I turned 25 on the 20th of September. Dusty made sure that I had the best day ever. He made me breakfast, got the girls ready for church, let me take as long of a nap as I wanted, invited friends over to play games and have cake and ice cream. It really couldn't of been better! You're the best Dust.
I took Allie and Aubrie in to the Doctor on the 25th of September. It was Allie's 2 year checkup and Aubrie's 2 month. Allie weighs 29 1/2 lbs she's 33 inches tall and I can't remember how big her head was. All I know is she is short and stocky. But she is full of energy and loves to run and jump. Aubrie weighs 13 lbs and is 23inches long. She is such a big baby. I'm not used to that. Allie weighed 12 lbs at her 4 month so Aubrie has already past her by! She wears 3-6 month clothing and is the happiest little girl in the whole world. She is sleeping so good. I love it. I can usually get both girls down to bed by 8:30 then I don't have to get up with either of them till about 7:00. It's so nice it really makes a hugs difference.

Allie turned 2 on the 29th of September and it was such a fun day. I can't believe she is 2! Time really goes by fast. She woke up to all her presents on the table and she just kept looking at them and I know she didn't really know what was going on but as the day went by she knew something was up. Dusty's parents stayed with us Monday night so they were there in the morning with us and they came with me to Salt Lake to go to lunch with Dusty. We walked around gateway and let Allie run in the fountains there. She loved it. That night we had a little family party with her. She was so happy and loved all of her gifts. The nest day all she wanted to do was play with her toys. It was hard for her to leave the house! Some fun things about Allie. Every morning when she wakes up she comes directly into my room and says hi mom. She loves to play outside and she loves to play with the boys. I swear she gets a long way better with boys then girls. She loves cars and loves the movie as well. She loves to run up and down the hall in our place she will said ready set go and do this for hours. She loves her baby sister Aubrie. She calls her Aubries and every time Aubrie is down fo a nap Allie will say Aubrie where are you then walk into her room and see her then say Aubrie sleeping Mom. I could go on and on she is so funny talks non stop and has become my little best friend. We love you Allie!!
Sorry the Pictures are not in order!

Oldies but Goodies

I was going through my photos and I found some that I never got around to posting so I thought I would now. There are a lot of Pictures!!


Aubrie chilling on the floor

Dusty, me and Allie went with our friends the Crossley's up to a condo in Ogden canyon for the Fourth of July. It was so much fun. We just spent the whole weekend eating, swimming and playing games. It was so much fun.

I love when I find them like this after my Sunday meetings

Aubrie's Blessing Day

>


Aubrie was blessed on the 6th of September. It was such a beautiful day. Dusty did such a great job. I was so proud of him. Aubrie didn't make a sounds the whole time which I was a little worried about but she did great. We had all of my family and Dusty's there it was such a fun day. Here are some pictures:

UPDATE

Just a quick up date this with us. We are doing really good. Allie and Aubrie are such good kids! I love being a Mom. Allie will be 2 at the end of this month and I just can't believe how fast 2 years went. She is growing up so fast. But I love the age she is at right now and I know it will just get better. She has become my little best friend. Aubrie is the best baby ever. I swear this kid is a piece of cake. She has been sleeping from 9-6 for the last week and a half and hardly ever cries. Sometimes I will lay her on the floor come back to her and she has fallen asleep. I never expierenced this with Allie so it's been a whole new ballgame and I LOVE it! I could have another one right now. But Dusty says no way, you need to get your self back to normal. :)
I'm getting there but there is just so much going on. I think I'll feel so much better when this Primary Program is out of the way. It's this coming Sunday and that will relieve a big burden off my shoulders. Hopefully after that I will no be so stressed.

We also put our condo on the market this last week. We found a home that we really like so we need to get this place sold. We've been busy boxing up things and making it so our place looks really open and organized. I hope it sells soon. I love our ward so that will be really hard to move but I really want a home and we just feel that it is time. So, we'll keep you posted on that but if you know of anyone that wants a condo let us know!!



Aubrie is getting so big

WOW

Time has flow by! Aubrie is now 5 weeks old! I can't believe how fast it has gone. She has been such a good baby. I swear I had no idea babies were like this. I love it. I can take her anywhere and she is so happy. We have been keeping busy these last few weeks. Allie is always keeping me on my toes and I just love the stage she is at in her life. Every morning when she wakes up she comes right into my room and says "Hi Mom" I love it then she'll say "where Aubrie" then when she finds Aubrie she says " Hi Aubrie" then hits her. I don't know why but every time she see's Aubrie she just wants to hit her. She threw a shoe at her the other day! So, at this point I'm not sure if she likes her yet. But I think she warming up to it, every day it gets a little better... kind of :)
Last weekend Dusty left for a business trip to Colorado. That was interesting to be alone with two kids. I had one good night and one bad. The bad one was because Allie has been fighting a cold so since Allie had a cold Aubrie has now got it. So I was up with Aubrie then Allie fell off the bed and then I was up with her. So I think that night I got about 2 or maybe 3 hours of sleep! Not the best night. Well ever since last week Aubrie has been a little more fussy then normal so I decided to take her into the doctor today because she has a really bad cough. Well come to find out she has an ear infection! I couldn't believe she already has one. Plus she has thrush. So I am hoping the meds they gave me work and I get my happy baby back. But all of this made me realize how bad the winter is going to be this year. Aubrie is going to get everything Allie gets. I hope we survive.
Oh so when they weight Aubrie to day she weighted 10lbs 5 ounces! I couldn't believe it she has grown 3 lbs in 3 weeks. She LOVES to eat...obviously. Allie wasn't 10lbs till almost 3 months. So funny how different these two are. Anyway here are some pics of both my girls and Dusty.
