Other Pics

Chads way of keeping her entertained while HE fixed dinner. I kind of thought choking hazard..But she obviously loved it.

So funny.... I had to share. I am trying to get his dance moves on video but so far no luck.

My kids have been sick this week and I have been hoping that 1. Chad or I don't get it and 2. that it passes quickly w/o turning into anything worse. My sister sent Jess this adorable little pink and white swimming suite and I couldn't help but put her in it snot nose and all. Her little face is so sad but look at that cute suite...







Can't wait to get home to Montana this summer and go swimming in all the lakes....and I will try to go to all my fav. ones...never thought I would miss water so much. Better watch out for this beach babe (Jessica that is)



HE DOES HAVE A SWEET SIDE

"Mom, is my sissy a princess?"
Justin asked me this as I was putting Jessica in a pretty little dress for church (once again so grateful for all the great hand-me-downs). I thought he looked pretty handsome too....

CARHARTT CUTIES (for "uncle" Levi)

I was going through the kids clothes today...moving out old (don't fits)...bringing in new (loved hand-me-downs)...and realized that they both had a pair of Carhartt overalls that fit them...couldn't help but take a few pics.
p.s. Chad just wanted to let his sisters know that they missed out on how cute their little girls could be in a pair....because he knows he bought each of you one for your first kid;)

***Note: Pictures do not always depict what really happen. Justin let go of Jess like 3 times, one of those times she fell and hit her head on my knee and Justin was bribed to smile. At some point during the 2 mins that all I wanted to do was get 1 good picture...both kids were crying. Sometimes I hope that in my old age my memory will be like these pictures...only remember how good and cute my kids were.

THANKS NANA!!!

Nana (Chads mom) made the kids quilts for Christmas. They are so adorable that I wanted to share her talent with all of you.....










Thanks so much Tracy! Now next time we move (or re-do) decorating the kids room will be easy.....

8 Months


She waves (only while in the high chair), give great wet kisses and has her 2nd tooth coming in.



A couple years ago...when I only had one kid...my cousin and I were talking about kids falling asleep in there high chair and how ours never did that and "those" moms just didn't put their babies to bed when they were tired.....what kind of mother have I become?








The kind who tries to stuff their child before a nap:)

A Little Update

I have been slacking on the blog a bit so I thought that I would just give a quick update.

I started back to classes on Monday. It is only 1 night a week which is plenty for now. I also have been on a scrapbooking kick and feel like I am actually starting to "catch-up" even though I haven't really started Jessicas.

Chad has been busy at work. These last 2 weeks he has put in an extra 32 hours.

Justin, well, he is 3. Any of you who have had or do have a three year old know what that means...good news is that I haven't lost him in his sleep lately:) Sure glad some of you got such a good laugh out of that though (Des and Kari).

Jessica is just as the old saying goes...sugar and spice and everything nice.
