As of late....

Well if you haven't heard my brother, Kevin, moved in with us.  The girls have loved having us around. We all have.  If you know Kevin, you know he loves to read, and that couldn't have been more perfect for the girls the LOVE to read too!!!  Kevin reads them several books daily.


My sister Ruth and her boyfriend, David, visited us over Labor day weekend.  The girls LOVED having them as well... can you tell?  Schedule didn't work together well so Blake missed out (he got to do other fun things though)  I enjoyed having them here, we shared alot of laughs.

This was us that Sunday....



Maycee loves, loves, LOVES to kiss her baby sister Tezza.  It happens multipule times daily!

The next week I turned around and went to the valley for a wedding. The girls got to enjoy thier Aunt Ruth some more, and everyone else too.


We all missed Blake dearly on that trip and we put him to "work" as soon as we got home. ("work" as in playin hide and seek with the girls!  This wear they found him! A small coat closet!






Blake loves to ride his dirt bike and has been able to squeeze a ride in about every week :) 
LUCKY GUY!



This last Saturday we put up 240 ears of corn!  Boy was it work, BUT, we will enjoy it all year long... thanx to our awesome deep freeze we scored at a yard sale!


The electric knife MAKES the difference!  Although Blake is still complaining of a soar finger from holding the trigger.


In all of our sacks of corn we scored a green chile! Lucky us!


Having the 3 burners REALLY sped up the process

Blake is LOVING his intership!  So am I.  It keeps his mind thinking and he loves learning so much there.  Im so glad that he has found a job that he loves and knows that he can do for the rest of his working days :)  That is a wonderful relief!

The weather has started to change here, nothing drastic you can just tell that Fall is well on its way.  A little cooler in the mornings and we dont have to run the cooler so long in the day.  Sun is starting to go down sooner.... its an exciting feeling!  Sure love you all!

Belly, hair cuts, Camping, Date...


Belly is getting bigger....

I didn't have anyone to take a picture of me this day but I hadn't taken any pictures of my tummy yet so I figured since I got "cute" for my 20 week ultra sound I should take some pics.... results

20 weeks


28 Weeks 
This was taken this morning before we headed to church...
To me, this picture is deceiving... I feel bigger than it looks...

The girls wanted a picture with dad this morning all dressed for church! (and dad had just taken the above picture and they didn't want left out)  They all got hair cuts this week so, take a look!
Dad: 1 in (more or less)
Lydia: FIRST HAIR CUT!!!! 2 inches! (more pictures below)
It about killed me cutting off her curls :(
Maycee: 5 inches!!!!!
Don't they look great though??? 

 On Friday night Maycee got to go on her FIRST date!  To young you say?  It was with DAD!!!
 They had a BLAST! Went to Alco, got to pick out a toy.  Went to DQ and got an ice cream AND our DQ has a jungle gym so she got to play for quite a while. She even got to ride in the Jeep with dad which was a large highlight! (date was cut short when Maycee had an accident on the slide.)

 Lydia's first hair cut!  Like I said, it about killed me, but, she needed it.



 I should have taken a picture with it all dry.  Her little curls just make me happy inside :)


Our biggest even lately was our camping trip last weekend!  It turned out to be more fun than I thought.  We hooked up the trailer and headed to Hesperus.  It is in Colorful Colorado!  It was about an hour and 15 minutes from our house. Well worth the drive!

First night we slept cold.  We didn't realize it was going to be that cold or we would have turned on our heater. (We did the second night and slept PERFECT)  Because the girls got cold, this is how we woke up after the first night.... All bundled together!


 Blake has got the camping thing down!  He made sure we had all the important things for our trip....

Blake was a super great dad! He made all sorts of awesome things for us to play with.  Even fashion a home mad bow and arrow!  He sure made it super fun :)  Good thing for dads!


Maycee found this purple ring while we were camping.  She wore it religiously!  (and that was funny because it was much to big for her fingers)  At one point she made this observation.  Holding her ring next to mine she said, "Look mom, mine is purple and yours is.... (trying really hard to think of the color of  my ring ).... uh..... SILVERWARE!"  Blake and I both giggled...  kids say/do the cutest things!

We were camped right next to a small stream and the girls enjoyed taking multiple "hikes" daily to the "big river" to feel the cold water...

 It really was a beautiful place!



Here is some pictures of our little "spot"

Maycee and Lydia's bed...

 We our hoping to make it out at least one time before it gets to cold. Cross your fingers for us!
