Cheesy grin

Okay, first of all my baby is able to wear full ponytails and pigtails, she's growing up so fast. Secondly as you can see she can now point to her nose and eyes on command. One day she just came up to me and said, "Nose." And pointed to it. And last, she has the cheesiest, cutest, full out smile that we are in love with and she does it all the time. She even waves to random people and smiles or says bye, bye. I love it, I love watching all the new things she does, it's so fun for me. Can you tell I love being a mom?

Meet Sugar

For those of you who don't know Sugar, he is Andy and Terica's dog. Julia has a special relationship with him. She often steals his cage. And in return if she walks around in a diaper he will follow her licking her belly. I just think this is hilarious.

Uncle Jake in town

We got to go swimming in Uncle Jake's hotel while he was in town on business. We had so much fun. There was a little girl swimming at the same time we were and she asked Natalie if Jake was her dad. She got very passionate about her response and said, "NO, that's not my dad, I have a different dad!" Then the whole way home from the hotel, which was about 30 minutes, Natalie was sniffling and saying, "I miss uncle Jake. When do we get to see him again? Why can't he come home with us? I want Uncle Jake." It was almost a fake cry, but I couldn't help but smile at how cute it was. I'm glad my kids have gotten time to spend with him. We are praying they get stationed somewhere close so she can get to know her cousins. We had such a fun time. We played games together that week. I also got to go to a session at the temple with him and my dad and that was a blessing. I'm so glad he came we had some good talks and he said some wonderful things about his wife. I'm glad that I have him as an example to me.

Happy St. Pat's Day

So, the day before St. Pat's day I was at Terica's(my sister-in-law) helping with the invitations for the wedding. I went home at about 5 in the morning. So after half sleeping all day while my kids played in the house. We went outside around 4 or 5 and enjoyed the beautiful weather. My mom gave them these shirts and I think they are so cute. Julia's says "One in a Million." Natalie's says, "So Lucky to be me." I love it when it's nice and we can play outside. Can't wait for summer!

Life is crazy.

So I feel like things are starting to get back to normal. Having family in town and helping to plan and carry out a wedding has really taken it's toll. I did have fun and was glad to help. It's also been fun having the family in town. So I feel a little guilty for not blogging much the past few months. Hopefully I will be better about this now.

Day at the Zoo.

We had a beautiful day at the zoo recently with some friends in our ward. The kids loved watching the sea lions eat. There was also a new baby giraff there. It was a fun day.
