Alilia's Special Day

This past Sunday was Alilia's blessing. George did a great job. We stressed about who to ask to come up to the circle...we're dumb we worry about these things..but it a huge circle by the time all our dear Elders were up there. Family came from both sides and we had a nice family lunch afterwards. We recorded the blessing, which I so wish we would have done with Tatiana. It was a special day for our special girl.

p.s. I hate that picture of me...I look like Anna Nicole Smith...and it isn't in the face...

The rundown

So...I have been in a blogging blah lately. But I have been super busy and actually had a life lately...so bonus. Starting at the top.... My family came into town and we all went to the BYU game and were so depressed when they lost. Bummer dude....I started making these carseat covers and have actually sold some! Let me know if you want one;)......Went to the Halloween open house at Secret Haven with Josie and Allyson. Christa looked awesome! I'm a spider which u would never guess....

We put an offer in on a townhouse in Daybreak and it basically got accepted and then we canceled it. I felt so sick after we signed the papers. It just wasn't right. We are putting another offer in on a house today...I hope it works out! It is a great house but small. The lot it is on is pretty big so we could eventually add on. And I would get to keep my job and Tati would go to school where I work. Our friends would be in our ward and our neighbors. I am pretty excited about this house and all we could do to it...

I think I may be having a touch of the baby blues. I was a nightmare the whole time my family was here! I was so stressed out about house hunting and Alilia's blessing. I just feel so tired all the time and when one kid is crying and the other one is constantly saying.."mom...mom...hey mom...mom...mom" I just want to pull out all my hair. I love these girls and feel so blessed but I can't quite get a handle on myself. I am hoping I snap out of it this week or I am going to ask my doctor about some meds. Don't get me wrong..it's not all clouds and rain here there are still lots of moments of sunshine and I hold those dear.

FALL

AND JUST LIKE THAT FALL WAS HERE. I just loved the sprinkles we have gotten these past few days. Halloween is in the air and I am excited! I love the fall smells and clothes. Lately, I have been so stressed out about buying a house that the rain just made me feel better. We have so many decisions to make and they have to be made pretty much within the next week and a half. UGG. Buying a house should be exciting but we haven't gotten there yet. Tomorrow my family gets in town! Saturday is the big BYU game and George and I are gonna get all decked out. GO COUGS! Sunday is Alilia's blessing. I can't believe it...my baby is two months already. I love that munchkin so much!!!

Cowboy George

Last week was a lot of fun. George's birthday was Thursday and we had lunch with his office and dinner at our favorite Hawaiian place. He really made out like a bandit on all the gifts he got. Gosh...lucky.:) Then Friday when he got off work we headed down to my mom's place in the great state of Montana. We got lost and took an extra 2 1/2 hours but we eventually got there. I spent most of my time in my step dad's shop making frames and all sorts of stuff. I was in HEAVEN! I could spend all day making things with my hands. Glenn my step dad gave me an new toy. A Mikita 10' Saw. I could barely contain my excitement!!!!! George made an awesome knife, rode horses, rode 4 wheelers, shot guns, chased bears and cows and was the first brown cowboy ever. EVER. Tati had a blast running around with Grandma and Grandpa, riding the train and bossing everyone around. Alilia basically just slept and cried for me to hold her. Which she does all the time these days. She is such a Mama's girl...it drives me a little nuts. We really had a lot of fun and are already planning our next trip there.

Next stop....VEGAS BABY...this weekend!

RAH RAH RAH RAH RAH

This girl is all about the blue! Good luck Cougars!

Happy Birthday Handsome

Happy Birthday Georgie Boy! I sure do love you with all my heart and so do your daughters.

My two little loves

I wish I could just freeze my kids at this age. I am so in love with both of them. Lili is starting to laugh and smile. She has totally filled out which I adore! She sleeps through the night. Basically, she is such a joy. Tatiana says the funniest things now. She tries to play little jokes on me all the time. She can count to ten and say most of her alphabet. I love how sweet she is to her sister. She is so gentle and loves to give her kisses and gets really concerned when she cries. There is nothing like your child curling up in your arms and saying, "I love u mom". Those are the moments that make me realize how blessed I am!
