It's Been a Long TIme! Summary

Wow, I'm a terrible blogger!  So much has happened since 2010, when I last posted.

Hailey is 8 1/2, Leah is 7, and Alice is now almost 2 1/2.  In addition to that we are expecting another baby in March.

Lets see if I can summarize.  Mac has changed jobs a few times.  The girls, Hailey and Leah that is, went to a Montessori school for a year 2011-2012, and now they are attending local schools here in Jefferson county.  Hailey was baptized last February by her Daddy, and we have made lots of new friends.  Hailey and Leah both did dance in 2011-2012 and participated in the dance recital.  This year they have both opted to do horseback riding, instead of dance.  Alice is eagerly awaiting when she can start, next May, when she turns 3.  In the mean time, she gets to do gymnastics, which she loves.

Our little Mommies

We went on a walk the other day, because the weather was so nice. Leah wanted to ride in the stoller, of course.

Hailey insisted on pushing Leah in the stroller. We didn't get too far. Just to the end of our street and back. Both girls had so much fun.

Hailey loves to baby out cat, Giggi. He doesn't always appreciate how "loving " she is. She puts him in a basket and carries him around the house. Today she was carrying him around in a box.

Leah pulled out one of my Mei Tai's, an asian style soft baby carrier. She wanted to wear her baby. How cute. She carried her baby on her front and then on her back. She doesn't have much patience to keep her baby in the carrier for long though.
Leah at 3 and a half years old, and 35 lbs, still likes to be worn in a baby carrier. I can wear her for short times on my back. The other day I wore her for a walk and a meeting at the Rigby City council for about 1 hour. I was still fairly comfortable after that. I guess that my body has gradually gotten used to her weight.

Easter Morning

Both girls were pretty happy to find their Easter baskets filled with treats.

Shake, shake, shake your easter eggs.

Snowman Finally!

The Snow this winter has been so dry that we couldn't really build a snowman, as much as Hailey wanted to. Finally on March 13th the snow that came down was the perfect consistency to build a snowman.

In the wash

This is what we do with them when they get really dirty. J/K. But seriously, we wish it were this easy.

Mama's Helper

With Mac's new job, being gone one week and home the next, I try to make easy dinners. Hailey was such a good helper when we made foil dinners. She got to choose what she wanted with her dinner and did a great job. Of course hers only had meat and carrots.
