Giving Thanks Day 20 {Organized Bathroom}

I had just a few extra minutes yesterday when both girls were sleeping... that is so rare and it makes it really nice to be able to get some things done! I have been really working hard on keeping my house organized and my house is not always clean, but I have managed to keep things somewhat organized. The only thing that I have really been trying to get done since before Stella came was to get my bathroom organized. I was so grateful that I was able to get my bathroom organized...Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get To Know My Husband!

I saw this little questioner on my cousins blog and decided to join in on the fun, against Kris's wishes! Did I mention that he is humble and hates people talking about how awesome he is!

How long did you date before you were married?

That would depend on who you asked! Off and on for 6 years!

What does he do that surprises you?

He is so frugal, so when he buys stuff it always kind of shocks me...my car total shock!!!!!

What is your favorite quality of his?

There are too many to count, but he is so amazing with the girls and me. He so kind and generous to everyone. Most people wouldn't know that because he is so reserved, but he takes off work (which he hardly ever does) to participate in ward service and welfare assignments.

Does he have a hidden talent?

Singing! He would never share this talent, but I'm lucky enough to get a glimpse hear or there... He is just really funny!

Who said I love you first?

Giving Thanks: Day 19 {Getting Better}

I'm so grateful today that Molly slept so well, and Stella made it until 3:00 am! I'm so thankful that when I got up to feed her I didn't feel so horrible and sick. I am thankful that we are starting to get over this gamboo (that's a mommer word) whatever it is, I just hope I'm able to get rid of all of it quickly! I think we are on the mend:)

Giving Thanks: Day 18 {Picturs}

Today I'm so thankful that I got a sneak preview of the girls pictures! They turned out cute and I'm so excited that to see the rest of them! Thanks so much Katie B!

My Big Girl! 4 Months

Stella is such an awesome baby, not a great sleeper, but an awesome baby! I just love this little thing more and more everyday. She is so dang cute and will just sit and smile and giggle. She constantly has her hands in her mouth but loves anyone to talk to her. You never have to work too hard to get a smile! She no longer wants to be held like a baby... She thinks she is a big girl. She likes to stand up and she holds her head up very well. I can be holding her and she will just stare at Kris until he looks at her and then she is all smiles! Oh she is so cute. I feel bad that when I took her in to her 4 month well baby check she wasn't so well. She has thrush and has for weeks but you would never know by her disposition, (unless it's bed time) Well this morning she woke up with what Molly has and has been throwing up. The poor thing, yet she is still smiling. I just wish she would stay little for a bit longer.

Time seems to be moving too quickly!

Here are her stats...

*Weight 12 lb 15 oz 31% You go girl Molly has been 2% since her 2 month check up it's nice to have a kid with some meat on her bones!

*Height 25.5 in 89% Yes she is taking after my side of the family and I have already started to tell her that she is so lucky to be tall, her aunts will tell her it's not good, but from the runt of the family I wish I had a few more inches!

*Head Circumference she is 42 cm 75%

She is growing so well and is such an amazing addition to the family (YES HER PREGNANCY WAS WELL WORTH IT)

She got 3 shots and an oral vaccine coctail as well and she was a trooper especially for being sick!

What A Day!

Holy cow!!!!!!!! So I had to run from place to place to day and when I got home this morning to put the girls down for a nap I had about 10 min that I could lay my head down. I have just been soooo exhausted with this stupid cold and my kids not sleeping well and just crazy life. Then it was on to the treadmill (another bummer today I was only .7 lbs away form losing 10 lb, I know it was still a loss, but I was totally counting on it being 10 lbs today, not that I look any different, but one lb at a time right?) and straight to the shower. I then woke up both of my girls from their naps to take Stella for her well baby check. She isn't well but we still got shots and all of that fun jazz. Molly got the flu spray, who knew you could give a flu vacceen in a spray they put up your nose. One last stop and we were on our way home. I looked back at Molly and she looked like she was going to fall asleep. I pulled into the garage and Molly vomited all over herself, her car seat, the middle console, & me. She had thrown up once yesterday but I chalked it up to something she ate... not so much. Putting Molly to bed we hadn't had her down for more that 2 minutes really and she barfed again! It was probably from that kid that I saw when we went to McDonalds play land that was throwing up and his mom was catching it in her napkin... NICE! I hate those places! Oh did I tell you that I was informed at the Dr. office that Stella has Thrush! Ya she never fully got rid of it the first time and I feel so bad that she has had it for weeks now! Again NICE! So now I am keeping my kids away from each other and we are totally washing our hands every time we look at one of our kids. We have had this stupid cold for no lie 5 weeks! I am so sick of everyone being sick I could just scream! If this is how it's going to be this winter we will not be going to church, stores, or out in public period, I just might not make it thought the winter! Well after this day I'm ready to hit the shower again... and settle in to bed to watch the Jazz game with Kris, Oh I hope we make it thought the night! I am reminded of how much I have to be thankful for, but I'm still hoping tomorrow will be a better day! I'm hoping I can get my house sanitized!

Giving Thanks: Day 17 {Cute Husband, Cute Dad}

Kris is so cute! I'm always thankful for him and how awesome he is as a husband and a dad, but after today, being a whirl wind of a day, I couldn't help but think of what a cute dad he was as he held my sick little Molly and was singing Boys To Men songs to her... He just makes me smile. How lucky these girls are that they have such an awesome dad.
