FRIDEE, SATURDEE & SUNDEE

FRIDEE...

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE INDIANS???

Fridee we sent all the boys off hunting and started the girls weekend. That night me, Jenn, Kee, and mom made sugar cookies for the sleepover the next night. Jenn is taking a history class at school and it started at the Indians so she wanted to know, "What happened before the Indians?" So that began our night of religion study so why not start at the beginning, including Kane and Able, The garden of Eden, Satan, the Golden Plates, Joseph Smith and Temple. Thanks to Shannon, Grandpa P and Goggle it was quite a night. We learned lots of interesting stuff and that has now furthered our quest to find out really what is going on???

Along with bible study we also started a new quest of finding ex boyfriends and lost loves on Face book, My Space, Google Search and Yellow Pages. With not much luck we ended the night about 1:30 AM. What fun.

SATURDEE

ANNUAL GRANDMA P GIRLS SLEEPOVER

Every year all the girls in the family have a sleepover for my grandmas birthday. This weekend we were celebrating her 80Th birthday and it was held at my house. Every year we do different things that always come with lots of food, plenty of laughs and a few cries. We are girls, do you expect anything less??? It was great but we missed Amelia and her 3 girls and Jesse.EXPRESSIONS...

I love all of these pics mostly because everyone has such great expressions. No one can ever get a word in edge wise in this family. With such strong personalities everyone is always talking over each other, we love it that way and have such a great time together!!!

THE LITTLE GIRLS...

We painted pumpkins this year for the girls. They liked it but I think they liked putting on plays, dress up and dancing better.

SAVE THE TATAS..

This year we decided to do breast cancer awareness tees instead of pj's. Does it really get any better than these. We loved them and we are supporting such a great cause. After going to bed at 4 AM we love the morning after pics.

DANCING...

What's a party without dancing??? We have such amazing girls in this family so I have to think that is the reason that we are getting very few boys. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA, WE LOVE YOU!

SUNDEE...

Sundee night we had dinner and carved pumpkins over at pa's and meems. I think by this day we were all tired and had run out of most of our creative juices and energy but the pumpkins still turned out great.

18 MONTHS

Ava Just had her 18 month apt on Friday. She is 33 inches in length(86%), Weighs 24 lbs(46%), and her head is 18 inches(27%). She is sleeping from 7:30 to about 7:30 and taking 1 nap around noon for about 2 hrs. Ava is starting to talk quite a bit and understands very well. A few things she is saying: It's stuck, Sissy, Bod, Juice, Show, Shoes, Hi, Outside, Shug(snug), B(bink), Gank. She is getting so much personality and is so stinking cute we all can barely resist her.

*She loves her daddy the very most of anyone.

*Will not go anywhere without her B and Gank

*Loves pink milk, ice cream, and any type of treat but otherwise eats nothing.

*Will put herself on timeout.

*Screams sooo super loud.

*Is really loving to sung.

*Likes to watch Elmo, Oswald, George, Dora and Clifford.

*Loves to color, especially on things she shouldn't.

*Wants to do everything that Meg does.

*Says hi, hi, hi, when she know she is in trouble or doing something wrong.

*Throws all of her binks and ganks out of her bed and then cries for you to come put them back in her bed a million times during naps.

*Does not like the doorbell at all

VEA

VEA

Vea is here. She was born on October 2, 2008. She was 7 lbs 14 oz and 18 inches long. I am so excited to be an Auntee on my side. Meg as well can not get enough of her. Kee ended up having a c-section so she was at the hospital for a longer time which meant that Meg never wanted to leave. She will be a super good cousin to Vea. SEX AND SLEEPOVERS

Jenn and I had a sleepover last Friday at Kee and Teds house to take Vea for the night while they got to sleep all night. I loved that my mom would take a nightly shift here and there when my babies are born. Nothing is better than a full night sleep with a new baby. My mom has been sick so we had to take over. Vea was really good and super grunty.

I have recently started watching the Sex and the City seasons. Lance has been hunting a lot and since my girls go to bed about 7:30, it has been great at filling my time at night. I was only on season 2 so Jenn and I watched a couple seasons while attending to our auntee duties.

JENN WEEKEND

Jenn ended up staying for a few days to play. Usually when she is here we have lots of things going on but this time we just hung out with the family and had Beans, Rice and Chili Verde at Grandmas, our favorite and soooo yummy!!! It was really nice and we all love it so much when she is here.

THINGS...

I feel like this has been such a different year for me. Maybe you hit 30 and something clicks or you now have 2 kids, one being crazy busy and that does it or who knows really but I love how I am feeling these days. I have always felt like I have been a confident person but with a close eye on what everyone else was thinking of me and now I feel like that is switching. I am now that person with a better eye on what I want, doing things for myself and am feeling so grateful for all the amazing things around me.

THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON...

*We had family pictures last week. Hopefully they went well. Meg, of course, did great but little Ava was not having it. It was also very hot.
*Meg also had her school pictures
*Lance is getting ready for lots of weekends of hunting and recovering from surgery on his mouth while dealing with massive allergies, FUN!
*We are still running, it is very dark, cold and windy that early but we tried a new venue today, the cemetery, morbid? actually really great!
*HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN! Today to one of my 2 greatest sisters and friends!

THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR...

*That Lances business that is still very busy. With all that is happening, especially in construction, that we are not feeling the slow down to much.
*For the great get togethers with all of our friends that mean so much to us, including the spur of the moment bbqs that Lance throws.
*Lately I am hearing so many awful things going on in so many marriages and all I can think about is how amazing my husband is and what a great relationship we have!
*For Shannon, for which I would be without many fabulous peaches and Cinderella pumpkins.
*Most importantly! We now have a new pink addition to the family. Vea is healthy and sooo cute with a ton of black hair. More to come...
*That every time Ava gives a love she will hand you her gank to put over your shoulder, pat your back and say, ahhhhhh shuug ( snug) and she says it in the lowest little voice.
*That last night Meg read her first book all by herself.
*With all that has come this year and yet to come I find myself focusing on how important my family is, especially Lance and my girls!
