Baby it's cold outside!!

It has been very (VERY) cold here over the past couple months...it has not hit the 50's since I don't know when. Needless to say we have not been outside to run and play in quite some time. So to break up the day we have been playing in our garage! It's not too chilly...and if it is we just turn on the space heater, we have lot's of space to play ball, paint, color, draw with sidewalk chalk, ride the plasma bike, etc! Here are a couple snapshots of our "outside" playtime!

Sophia painting, and Olivia bouncing!

Liv checking me out...

The artist!

"here Momma...want to paint?"

Fun for me....a friend's baby shower!

I love planning parties!!! Showers, birthday parties, Mardi Gras, Super Bowl...you name it...I will plan it! My girlfriend Michelle is having a little boy and I was able to host our Sunday School class shower for her...here are some of the pictures from it...enjoy :)

We're Back....

I know...I am horrible...it has been so long since my last post. Honestly, I don't think very many people even check our blog...and it needed a face lift, and I just didn't have the time.

But I have spruced it up a bit...and am ready to get back into the blogging world again :)

Where should I start??? How about with some pictures of my girls...they are getting so big!!

Sophia...playing in the snow at our house...

(I can't believe I live in a place where it snows!)

Olivia...I know it's a close up...but don't you want to kiss those cheeks?...I do...ALL DAY!!!

Look...I'm sitting like a big girl!!

Happy to be back!!! Missed ya missed ya, now I'm gonna kiss ya...XOXOXOX

California Christmas

For Christmas this year we headed across the United States (all the way across) with our sweet pea's and celebrated Christ's birth in sunny California. It was so nice to see everyone and introduce our sweet Olivia to all our family :). That is the stinky thing about being so far away...we miss everyone.

Anyway we crammed all that could be crammed into the 4 days while we were there!

Then we came home and crashed for a week, trying to recoup :) haa haa...we had a great time.

love and kisses.

We are back...a quick update!

I know that it has been way too long since my last post....and there is a long story to go along with the reason. But the main point is that both our computers (laptop and desktop) crashed and died within one week. So we had to order new computers and wait for them to arrive. Then it was time to pack up and get ready to leave for our California Christmas. Anyway we have made it back and I have so much to catch up on. I promise to update soon :)

love and kisses :)

Olivia Update

Liv had her 2 month check-up last week...and here is her info :)

Weight: 11lbs 13 1/4 oz ~ 75 percentile

Length: 22 1 /2 inches ~ 50th percentile

Head: 15 inches ~ 50th percentile

Liv is doing wonderfully!!! She is the happiest baby! She loves to coo and smile at you. It's funny to watch her try to suck on her pacifier and smile at the same time, she always ends up dropping the pacifier! She is doing all the things she should be doing, like eating, sleeping, smiling, holding her head up...etc.

Last night she slept from 11:oo p.m. to 7:oo a.m. this morning...so that was lovely!!! She has done this about 4 times now...so it is still not consistent, but even when she wakes up it is only once, and then she goes back to sleep right after her feeding.

She has a couple nicknames...Liv, Livi, Liver, Chicken Liver (I know...I know)

We love her to pieces and continue to be overwhelmed by what blessings our sweet little girls are!!!

Love and kisses....

Trick or Treat

Hope you had a safe and happy night out!!

love and kisses...
