Halloween post coming soon...

This is the comment from my 7 year old nephew about them moving.

I thought it was so cute I had to put it on here.

"Hi Aly,

I'm sorry you are taking it so hard.

from, Abram"

HaPpY BiRtHdAy LiZziE...

Love you my cute sister.
Hope you have the best day.
We love you too much!

Miss you already...

My sister Heidi and Bro-in law Phil & Family are moving to Idaho today. I am happy for their little family, but they will be missed by us! I kind of hate that they are moving away, but Heidi has promised to come back to blogging so I will hold her to it! Love you guys too much!!

Sorry I have been the worst blogger lately. I have also been horrible at taking pictures so I thought I'd post some that I didn't get around to posting from a month ago. Love my sweet girls.

Guess What?...

We are having another BABY!

I am 12 Weeks Along..Due April 3rd!
We couldn't be happier!

Joey is Back in School...and loving every minute of it.

Remember this post last year? Joey woke up at 7:30 in the morning and got dressed all by herself and school doesn't start until 12:00. She was so excited to get back in her routine. She told me she never wants to go off track for the summer again. This girl really missed school. We got her all ready and went out on the porch to take pictures and this girl went straight into her "poses" It was so much fun watching her! I took like 30 pictures of her and it was hard to choose which ones to put on here. I love that Joey loves to learn so much, she makes me so happy.

Nothing better than...

Eating Take out and filling out Book Order Forms...I absolutely love it. There is something so exciting about book orders to me. Joey is back in school as of yesterday and is so happy to back. I will post pictures today.

My Kendyl bug...

Kendyl is growing up and it kills me! She cracks us up all day long. She is obsessed with a few shows right now(Mary Poppins, Pinnochio, Sword & the Stone) and has a bunch of catch phrases from each. She says them in the funniest voice and she knows we love it.

*I know that these won't be funny to anyone else, unless you hear it from her, but I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget it.

Mary Poppins: "Good Luck Guv-nah"

"You're filthy

Willy Wonka: I love dragonflies, I love Grapes

Sword in the Stone: She acts like the little red squirrel in this and it's so funny to watch.

And she sings her little heart out to every song on the Hannah Montanna movie, it really is so fun to watch her. She is Joey's little parrot and it usually drives Joey nuts, but now she says it's okay because she knows that Kendyl is learnin'. These two really love each other so much!

My Little Joey is growing up..

All day today she has been asking me to go and get her ears pierced, asking if she can wear my eye shadow, and asking to be Hannah Montanna for Halloween. I really want her to be something little for a few more years. Is that too much to ask? I came across these pictures today and I got sad that she is growing up so fast. I love her so much. Joey saw these pictures and said they were "flippin cute" I would have to agree. And I Guess I need to stop saying that phrase so much! :)

Dance class...

Joey and Kendyl started dance about 3 weeks ago and have loved it. They are in different classes but they have the same teacher. They both love Miss Brittani and Kendyl talks about her often. She cries when we have to go home and asks me every morning if it's time for dance class! Such a different experience of when we first put Joey in dance. But we did put her in with her little cousin Jerzi and they were just naughty together. When I drop Kendyl off she tells me that she promises she will listen to Miss Brittani. She is so cute and I love watching her! We are only allowed to watch the 2 year old class, so I didn't get to get as many pics of Joey.

It truly melts my heart watching them love it so much!

Kendyl is so into it! And does everything she is told.

Joey loved Rockin out to Hanna Montana and

wants me to make some of those ribbons for home.

So focused..

Happy to pose!

My Little Helpers...

Kendyl a.k.a."Miss I don't take naps anymore"

But around 5:00 every night..I fall asleep wherever I'm at. And it's really hard for my Mommy to keep me awake....

The Cabin...

My top favorite things about the cabin...

1.Watching Chris bring home his fish.
2.Playing basketball on the swings!
3.River Run.
4.Going to W. Yellowstone for Dinner and shopping.
5.Going to see Old Faithful.
6.Crafts with the kids.
7.Watching all the kids when they saw animals! (Chris' Dad paid them for each buffalo and bear they saw) They all cleaned up with $12 bucks each.
8.Eating Lots of good food and snacking all day long!
9.Going on walks down to the river.
10.Being with my family.

We had so much fun up at the Cabin. I am sad that I don't have any fun pictures of our river run. That was by far my favorite part of all. Just 3 Hours on the river with my family and food! What more could you ask for!

HaPPy BiRtHdAy HeiDi...

Happy Birthday to my cute sister Heidi! Love this girl too much!

She is so much fun to be around, and is so hilarious!

I hope you have the best day ever!

30, Flirty, and Thriving...Right?

Love ya, Aly

Anyone else feeling like me this week?

Binki Fairy...

It was time to say Bye Bye Binki! I know most people would say Kendyl was too old, but it truly was her little best friend! But it was way over due! Without it though I am worried that now we have also said Bye Bye to Naptime too! :(



We sent Kendyl's Binki up to the binki fairy "Up to heaven to Merryweather" Kendyl would say!
We wrote the binki fairy a note and tied the binki to the string...

and Kendyl let go!
She was so proud of herself!

We're proud of her too! It's almost been a week being binki free! Sometimes she will still ask for it and we have to remind her that she sent it to the binki fairy! Then she will say "hurray for the binki fairy, Hurray for Mommy, and Hurray for me!
The Binki Fairy did leave a soft blankie and a stuffed whale in it's place. She loves them both! She is so much fun!

Love this little girl!

"He makes me melt like a popsicle on the 4th of July"

I love this picture of Chris and Joey! What a cute Man I am married to! We had such a fun 4th! My pictures are in reverse order so it starts with pictures from the fireworks. We had so much fun with Nate and Wendy and boys at the Parade in the morning. The girls loved it! We had lunch at my folks and had yummy food and slip-n-slide. We went swimming with Lizzie and Taylor, Luke & Natalie. And then went to Cafe Rio for dinner and ended at fireworks.

We had so much fun! I think one of the best fourth of July's ever!

Sorry for such long posts and butt loads of pictures! We just got back from Yellowstone on Sat. So I have about another 300 or so to post! :)

wendy & me.

Dang wish Kendyl was looking at the camera!

So cute.

Joey & Kendyl loving the rides, I couldn't get Evan & Austin to look.

Lovin' us some Cafe! The girls loved the slip-n-slide.
I love this pic of Kendyl & her Daddy.
Sharing some candy at the parade.

Wendy& Nate, Evan & Austin

Love those faces.

Can't contain the excitement.
Cute Family! Love these guys.
