Camera Time

I love when I find pictures like these on my camera. It means Ellie snuck the camera while I was busy and took lots of pictures. She got busted when she snapped a cute picture of her cute little feet in the second photo... Jayci loves it when Ellie pays attention to her. I love her chubbs in these pictures. To cute!

Twins? I think Maybe!

So the other day I put this out fit on Jayci and thought "WOW she looks just like Ellie did at this age with this outfit on. " I don't know if I was right on. But I am pretty sure they are sisters. I still think they look super cute and Layne HATES HATE HATES the mushroom hat. Although he still thinks they look cute.

New Hobbie

I saw these flowers on a blog the other day and wanted to try them. I have TONS of tulling and thought they would be super cute. So I tried and did it. I'm not really creative so I was pretty proud of myself!

3 Months and 3 weeks

I had asked Kenna to watch the girls for me during softball practice. Little did I know that she would surprise me with these super cute pictures of Jayci. I think that Kenna is so talented and love it when I get pictues of my girls from her. Cannot wait till this spring and she gets pictures of both the girls together and works on our family ones... Thanks Kenna you are the best!!!

Did somebody say FOOD?

Last week I decided to start feeding Jayci cereal. I had been putting it in a bottle and watering it down so she can drink it. But I wanted to see if she was ready to eat it off of a spoon yet. Well as you can see what went in came right back out. I tried this process for 30 minutes and realized I still had the same amount of ceral in the bowl that I began with. We sure gave it a try and will again. But for now she is just enjoying it out of the bottle if at all.

Talking to Daddy!

Yesterday was a hard day for me. I wanted to throw up all day. It was the anticipation of having Layne leave and wondering how I am going to make it. I know that I can but I wonder how single mothers do it every day. I am so greatful that Layne is sacrificing his time with us to make a better life for us and help us out. I know that its hard on him but hopefully it will be worth it. I know that this is only for a time so it makes it a little easier.
As we were just spending time together yesterday Jayci woke up from her nap and was in a very talkative mood. She doesn't talk and goo at anyone like she does her dad. Luckily enough I was sitting next to them and caught them in the moment. I love this first picture. It just shows how much she loves her daddy and how much Layne loves his girls.

She is getting pretty chubby and I just LOVE IT!!!!

After the Fact....

After beauty parlor was all done. Ellie INSISTED that Jayci has her hair curled just like her and then they get their pictures taken... I'm pretty sure that they are the cutest girls ever... (and I am definately bi-ist).
They deffinately look like sisters and most deffinately look like T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!!!!

Ellie's Beauty Parlor

Oh having a sister is to much fun. As I was getting ready for our Anniversary Date with Layne, I had Jayci sitting in the bumbo on the toilet so she could sit up and watch. I walked away for two minutes. I came back and Ellie was putting makeup on Jayci. I couldn't help but sneak away and get my camera. I thought it was so cute. I think these two are going to have so much fun when Jayci gets bigger. Ellie is so good with her that it just melts my heart to watch them together. After I sat down the camera Ellie continued to do Jayci's makeup when I came back to the bathroom after putting the cloths in the dryer. Jayci had mascara all over her face. It was pretty cute but deffinately time to put the makeup away. Oh boy! I think I'm going to have my hands full with these two!

I laughed at this one. She was deffinately getting bored with being poked with the blush brush!

Anniversary Bouquet

The day after our anniversary Layne showed up with this beautiful bouquet. I LOVE IT.... Usually he gets me roses but I couldn't of been happier with these flowers. I got them just in time to display on Sunday for my Lesson on the Creation in Relief Society. I LOVE MY husband and am so greatful for him and all that he does for me and our Girls!

5 Years and Counting

Today is Layne and I's 5 year Anniversary. I cannot believe it has been five years already. It seems like it has gone by so fast.

I am proud to say that in 5 years

• I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters
• We have successfully had our 6th dog for over a year
• We have kept Pete the cat alive for almost 3 years
• Will have both of our vehicles paid off within a few months
• I have not gained over 10 lbs (Working on my goal weight so I can go on a cruz)
• Layne and I have in all honestly only had one big fight

For five years, I think that those are pretty good accomplishments. I love my husband more than anything and I'm so greatful for the sacrifices that he makes for me and our girls. I cannot wait for the next five years to see what they bring......

One Last Snow Fall

Ellie came running out of her room this morning SOOO excited that there was snow on the ground. She brought me into her room to look out the window at the snow... She was convinced it was only out her window till her Dad picked her up and she saw out the window that it was everywhere. She was hell-bent on going out in the snow with her "snow boots and hat" to eat the snow... So I took advantage and snapped a few shots of her outside. While she was standing under the trees the wind started blowing and she got covered in snow. It was pretty cute. I love this little person that has a bubbly personality and an independent mind of her own.

Sleeping Position #2

I realized the other day that I hadn't documented Jayci's 2nd favorite place to sleep. Her first is deffinately in her swing. Thanks to Kenna for letting us borrow her swing but when she has another baby we will have to replace her swing with a brand new one. Since Jayci spends so much time in hers she has almost completely worn down the motor. But anyways if she wakes up in the middle of the night she wants to be sleeping on the couch squshed by our two blue decorative pillows. (Obviously not so decorative anymore but they get the job done) She has not slept anywhere else besides her swing or the couch since she has been 3 weeks old. Spoiled I know but it is working. Eventually I will start training her to her bedroom but we'll see... Oh how your world gets turned around when you have a baby and 3 year old whom which are spoiled and rule the roost!

Farm Gym

A few days ago I got out the Farm Gym just to see if Jayci was big enough to enjoy it. And wouldn't you know it she went to town on the farm animals. Kick Kick Kick is all she did. I couldn't believe that she focused enough on the animals so swat at them and make them fly. Oh how fast my baby girl is growing. She is so sweet and so smiley right now we just can't get enough of her.

Tank is a Daddy!!!

On our way home from Orofino we got a phone call from Rob letting us know that Roxie had 6 puppies... Which means that Layne and I are grandparents and Tank is a Daddy. Layne made the mistake of saying the word "puppies" outloud so we had to hear about going to see them for EIGHT hours. So last night we FINALLY went and saw them and made a family outing of it. They were so cute and Ellie loved them. She had to pick up everyone of them and love them. Roxie had 4 girls and 2 boys. There were actually eleven total but she lost five of them. We are excited to pick one out and eaither keep it or sell it. I know I am not ready for a puppy for myself but we will see........ They were so cute I might considerate it. Can't wait till they get a little bigger and we'll go see them again!

Mama and babies! They were all trying to eat... We loved watching them fight off eachother to get to their Mommy!

One Year Older and Wiser Too!!!

Happy Birthday Darlin.... I Love you!!!!
