Happy Halloween

Can you believe... this is the only picture taken on Halloween. Thanks to Grandma Marcia. Daisy was a ballerina and Maya was 1st a matching ballerina, and then next she decided she wanted to be Mini Mouse and she ended up as a witch 2 hours before trick or treating! What cute girlies I have!!! Matt and I dressed up for a party a week earlier. Matt was going to be the man in the yellow suit off of curious George. The costume was to hard to figure out. So went to the Halloween store and ended up being Bacon & eggs! Now that were done with Halloween and enjoying our candy....On to Thankgiving!

Happy Birthday Maya

Yesterday we celebrated Maya's 3rd birthday . This year was different, Her 1st and 2nd birthdays were fun and celebrated with friends in Livermore. This one was pretty much all family.

First we all had Lunch, which I thought was so good!

Then all the kids got cute little aprons that had there names on them and in each pocket there was an activity. Painting, Bendarooz, & puppets. The kids rotated from the 3 activities.



After they had finished all 3 of the activities. We headed down to our basement for a talent show on the fabulous stage Matt had made for Maya for her bday and for this event.



After the talent show we headed back to the backyard to decorate cupcakes.



After decorating the cupcakes... and singing happy bday... Maya opened her presents, and boy did she get spoiled.







Thank you so so much to all who helped!!!

Maya and Daisy

My Girls are getting so big!!! Daisy is almost 8 months and Maya is almost 3!!! I tried to get a good picture of both of them... It is so hard, so this is what you get.

Moments that melt my heart..

Daisy at 6 months...

Wow, time is flying by....Where can I begin about my sweet little, well not so little, Daisy. She is so much fun. Here are a few things she has been up to. She loves to eat her baby food! She is really pretty good at eating it. Even the green beans. She has decided she doesn't like formula or maybe it's the bottle. She loves to roll over and moves all over the place. I put her in her crib and she ends up on the other side with her chunk a monk, thunder thighs stuck between the rails. She sleeps really well. I love that I can lay her in her crib with a blanket and she goes right to sleep, well most of the time. I put her to bed around 9 and she wakes up around 7 to eat. Then goes right back to sleep until Maya wakes her up. Daisy loves her sister so much, Maya can make her laugh like you wouldn't believe. Although, Maya also likes to make her cry! Aw, what are sisters for! She loves to smile laugh and loves to grab hair, especially Maya's. She is finally Jumping in her jumparoo. She loves silky blankets. I can't think of anymore right now.... Oh yea, no teeth yet, but I am pretty sure they are on there way.

Daisy likes the nail gun

4 months!

I cant belive that my sweet little Daisy is already 4 months!! She is such a blessing in my life. There is something about her that melts my heart almost everytime I look at her. She is constantly looking for someone to make eye contact with her and when they do... she will give the best smile you have ever seen! She is all about making fun gooing noises, grabbing things and starting to put things in her mouth. She loves to hold her hands when she sleeps, it is so cute. When ever I out the pacifier in her mouth, she instantly pulls her hands together. I love it. I will post a picture of it soon... along with easter, our house..etc..

Last Sunday, I went to Boise with my mom and Sister. I had so much fun! Jess took this picture of Daisy!! Isn't it cute?? I had so much fun there. I love seeing all the family there. Especially my Grandma. We spent hours in the hot tub chatting and hours in a fabric store. It seems everytime I see her, I get to know her better and love it! Thanks Jess and mom for letting me tag along.

Nightmares...

Maya just woke up screaming from her nap. Its Mouse king again! (mouse king is from the barbie nutcracker movie) She was so scared! I walked in with Daisy & layed her by Maya.. instantly they were both smiling! I love my Girls!!

FYI... That purple outfit Maya is wearing is actually Ella's. Maya is totally obsessed with it. No exaggeration... She wears it every single day, not when we go out of course... and request to wear it to bed!! crazy girl!

Sweet Daisy!! I love sleeping Babies!

Blessing Day

Yesterday, was a fabulous day! Daisy was blessed. Originally, Daisy was going to wear the dress I was blessed in. Apparently, Daisy is a little bigger than I was or I was blessed a lot earlier. It left rings around her arms and I could barely button up the back. This was discovered on Wednesday. Needles to say, Matt's sweet mom saved the day, She had seen this sweet dress at a boutique at Thanksgiving point. I was so happy that I will be able to tell Daisy that her Grandma had picked out and bought her blessing dress. It was such a fun day. My mom and sister Jess and there family came up for it, and so did all of Matt's family. After sacrament meeting we met back at Kate's and we had a very delicious Waffle bar. Kate and my Mom made all the waffles!!! Thank you both!!! We had all sorts of yummy things to put on waffles! All the kids of course had a blast here at Kate's... she does have the best toy room, roller coaster and climbing structure! What more could a kid ask for? I was so glad I got to see Jess and her family!! She even took these cute pictures of Daisy 5 minutes before they were heading home! Thanks! I love them!

More of Daisy

I cannot believe how big my baby is!!! She will be 3 months on April 1st! Time flys when your life is a little crazy! :) She is so much fun though. I felt at first that I couldn't enjoy her as much as I did Maya because I was always having to entertain Maya! Well, I do somehow get my bonding moments with Daisy even if it is at 6:30 in the morning. I love it when I catch her smiling at me! It truly melts my heart.

Girls

Daisy's Smile

This age is so much fun! She is smiling more and more along with cooing and gooing!! SO cute! It melts my heart every time! I am so glad she is over her RSV!

Matching outfits!

My Friend Cherie got these cute matching outfits for the girls! Maya loved being matchy matchy with her little sister!! Daisy is getting so big I can hardly stand it! SHe has grown out of almost all her 0-3 months. She is weighing in about 11 lbs!!! She is no longer a newborn! It is crazy at how fast time flys!! Oh and yes, that is a picture of Maya helping the lion go down the slide. Silly girl!

Update

I do realize I have not been the best blogger! My life is definitely the most crazy then it has ever been! Dasiy is just recovering from RSV!! It was the saddest and most stressful thing to have a new baby so sick. Thank goodness she is doing so much better!

SO to all of you who don't know what has been going on in my life here is my update! Matt was offered a job by Icon health & fitness over the summer. About 2 weeks after Dasiy was born I had to say good bye to all of my wonderful friends in Livermore. If was extremely hard, and I am still trying to cope with all the change. I truly loved it there. Thanks to my wonderful sister and her children, I am always distracted and really don't have much time to think about my old life. Kate has been so generous and is letting us stay in her basement until we could find a place to live. Which we did! We found a home in the Lundstrom park area here and is definitely going to need some updating. Right now it is totally a grandma house. Which we are actually excited to remodel it the way we want. It has 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and awesome fenced back yard, a basement, 2 car garage. We hope to close on the 24th of March. I am going to be sad to leave her basement, there are actually lots of perks to living with a sister. If you run out of milk or eggs, I can just go upstairs. If you have a dead battery, I could give you a jump. If you need to go to the store but your baby is sleeping, I can listen out for him. If I don't get any sleep due to new baby, Kate is always good to watch Maya. Ella and Maya typically get along really well, they love to dress up and dance. Matt loves his Job. He just designed a treadmill and Sears bought it!!! He was so excited! I will try to post more pictures and videos soon. I will be honest, I haven't looked at blogs in so long, I am about 300 in on my Google reader. I will look at your blogs soon.
