Trouble?

I decided to move the girls into a room together before the baby gets here so they are used to it and it's not one more thing they have to adjust to. Plus, Allie has been having nightmares lately so we thought having someone in her room would help with that. Because I'm random and spontaneous I found myself at Lowe's on Friday looking at paint, buying paint, and taping off the room to paint. Then I realized I probably shouldn't be painting since I'm pregnant and all. Oops. Well I did the prep work, Doug painted the walls, I had the crazy idea to paint chevron's on one wall, we measured, taped A LOT, and did it. And we are pleased as punch with the results. So worth all the effort! Now they are together and they are actually sleeping :) We'll see how things continue...

New Ride

After measuring car seats and the back seat of the Outback, looking for expensive narrow car seats, and trying everything in our power to get 3 carseats in the back we faced the facts that it would never happen safely. We thought we better sell our car before it hit 100,000 miles...So in comes the new ride. MINI VAN!! We knew we wanted a Honda or Toyota and realized they don't stick around for very long. I thought I would have to drive to Utah to get one and then a great deal popped up, we looked at it, we traded our car in, we bought the van and it was done. It was fast and easy and we are thrilled. It's roomy, it drives well, the girls are in heaven + it has a TV! and my favorite thing is the sliding doors are automatic. Score! We are very grateful to have it...it's our dream parental car!

Scruffy

A huge blessing was granted and Doug's grandparents came to Boise to get some medical care and assistance. It is so great to have them closer where we can all help them. We are helping them with their dog, Scruffy. He is so cute and such a great dog. The girl's love bossing him around and playing with him.

How he fell asleep the other day! Haha!

Grant's Baptism

Our nephew Grant was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints this weekend. What a kid! We are grateful we live close enough to share in his special day! 

Jesse is walking and he is getting so big!

Pa and the horses :)

The Jist

The Good:
*We slept in. The girls didn't get up until after 8 which is really fabulous!
*We ate breakfast and then made peanut butter and wheat bread. I tried a genius idea from my neighbor. Bake the bread in tin cans and the bread is the right size and there's no crust! Brilliant I tell you. (It's a 48 fluid oz. can)

*We picked our first zucchini from the garden! :)

*Allie rounded up all the kids from the street and started playing with everyone.
*I went outside (still in my PJs and glasses at 10:00) to chat with the other moms. They were all still in their PJs too. So refreshing to know that none of us are trying to impress or one up each other. It was awesome.
*Talked to my friend Natalie on the phone. I miss her.
*I made dinner for the first time in weeks.
*I wasn't tired ALL day...ah welcome 2nd trimester!!
*Watched the kids swim tonight...Allie swam under water for the first time without freaking out and without help!! Such a proud moment.
*Played games tonight with our best friends/across the street neighbors outside.

 The Bad:
*Flies are all over my house. I tell my kids everytime they go outside to close the door and it still hasn't sunk in.
*Laundry piled up high!
*Katelyn woke up from her nap in quite the bad mood. Only wanted momma and cried about everything for about an hour.
*I bought a backpack for Allie, which means she's going to school...soon...and I don't want her to.

Wyoming/Utah Roundup!

On our way to Wyoming we get to see my best friend in all the land, Ashley and her family. Allie and Maddie were best buds from the get go, did makeovers and stayed up until 1:30!

We also get to drive through our favorite place ever...Jackson!!

Love those Tetons so much!

We arrived in Riverton and changed for Jermey and Jessica's wedding. I copied Lisa and bought that cute little dress for Allie! Cute girls.

The happy couple under the arbor my Uncle Mike made them

Morning hike with Pa. This could become a great tradition :) The girls love it!

Ate at my favorite place: Cafe Terigo. That salad is life changing.

GG Norma bought the girls a bag of rocks...most treasured thing they have now!

ALPINE SLIDE! I used to work there. I am a pro. I couldn't go due to my preggo status. But Pa got to go which was super cool! The girls giggled and had a blast!

Whirlwind trip and so much driving, but saw so much of our family and will be treasured forever! I am one blessed lady!
