Sleeping Shuffle

Sleeping arrangement shuffle seems to describe what's been going on at our house fairly well.

Above is where Liliana has been sleeping for the past 3 months or so, and she will probably sleep there a while longer... we'll see.

I just got done setting up the crib for her in Evelyn and Adia's room.

While I was tying on the bumper pad and setting up the mobile I wrapped her up and put her in there because she was being fussy. That way she could see me, and I could talk to her and still get some things done. I'm just about done and I look down and she is totally snoozing.

I'm not gonna lie, I got a little choked up seeing my little Lily love sleeping in what I thought was going to look like this giant crib holding this tiny baby, but it wasn't that at all, she fit in there.

Above is Eve and Adi's new bunk beds. They love them. Notice the pile of toys on the top bunk, and the 2 pillows and 2 blankets on the bottom bunk. I think the idea of sleeping so high off the floor is a little unsettling to them and will take some getting used to.

And once again I'll admit I got a little choked up seeing my girls in such grown up beds.

Time goes too fast.

Summer Fun!

A little update on our light, easy, and fun filled summer days.

A couple days ago I decided to try putting Lily's hair in a piggy. It worked! Isn't it so cute!?

Of course I think I still prefer her little tuft in the natural state. Neil calls her his little frost top. I love it!

Of course summer equals swimming, Eve and Adi love their new swim suits. Even on top of their pjs.

I made this cake the other day when Kirk and Teresa came for dinner. Kirk insisted I take a picture before cutting into it.

Ready for a day in the sun! We love having a pool so ready for our own use anytime.

Stay tuned for more summer fun!

Girlie girls

Grandma Oler sent some fun things in the mail.

Including these adorable skirts.

Eve and Adi love to wear dresses, skirts, tights, shoes, and any other pretty girlie thing they can find.

Thank you Gma O!

The Story

We found out we were expecting our first mid-March 2008, our little bundle of joy would arrive sometime early November. June rolled around, we went to find out if it was a boy or a girl. Much to our excitement, it was a girl, much to our surprise, she had a sister in there too. We were so excited, and shocked at the same time. And because there were 2 the doctor moved my due date up to early October. Mid-September comes up and I'm sent to the hospital, I'm in labor. Evelyn Mae and Adia Ashley were born the morning of September 23rd.

The Story Take III

We found out we were expecting #4 in early June, not quite ready to share the news we kept our excitement to ourselves for a while. We told the kids but were fairly certain they had forgotten when Neil's whole family came, visited, and left without a word about our bun in the oven. A couple of weeks later, we had some family over for a 4th of July BBQ. Evelyn was admiring Chavonne's 5 month old Emmett and decided to announce "Angelica has a baby in her belly!" Everybody was excited and I was very surprised since I had decided my kids had forgotten. I moving into the 2nd trimester now, and looking forward to finding out the gender of our sweet little love bun.

Ghost In A Jar

Neil sings and plays guitar in a band called Ghost In A Jar. With his friends Tom at the drums, and Peter playing the bass, they started playing together in April of 2006. They've played at a lot of different places including Starry Night, Muse, and The Loft at Ozz in Provo, Comedy Circuit in Midvale, and at various other places and events. Its been fun to listen to them progress and work on writing their songs and having such a great time together. Sadly in April of 2011 they went their separate ways.
