Childress Family Fun

We went down to Suzanne and Clyde's new house in Indiana. We had a lot of fun hanging with the family. Hope, BC and Anabelle came too. They have a park down the road from thier house that has a little water park. Farrah and Anabelle had a lot of fun with thier daddies getting all wet.

Some pics and videos

These pics were taken right before my parents and David left for the airport. Here are a couple videos of Farrah being adorable. She loves to color, but also likes to eat her crayons. She is also really teething right now. I think she is working on getting 4 or 5 teeth, so she has been understandingly a little grumpy lately. She is "talking more" she says "please" (like in the one video) she also says cheese, and tries to repeat a lot of other words. She also folds her arms and bows her head for prayer, it is the cutest thing. She is such an amazing little girl, she is so smart. I introduced her to play-doh the other day and she loves it. I am starting to get ready for the new baby (who is yet to be named!), by going through Farrah's newborn clothes (I can't believe she was that small!). Farrah also loves to read, we read books all day long. She also loves when i put on my make-up, because she loves to pretend to put make-up on herself. She is such a girly girl!

I am still here

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. It has been a really busy week! David is officially a missionary, and enters the MTC on the 29th. Clyde, Suzanne, and Molly have officially moved to Indiana (they left today), they have stayed with us the last couple of days while thier stuff was getting packed up, and I really enjoyed the company (especially because Josh was in Mexico last week). My parents and David are flying to Utah tonight..........so it is just Josh, Farrah and I. It is going to be lonely Monday when Josh goes to work!
Other important events that happened during the week: Joel returned from his mission in California on August 16th. Brian Spencer came down to visit, so the boys got to spend some time together. That Sunday Brian, Joel and David all spoke in Sacrament meeting, they did a great job. David was set apart yesterday as a missionary, and it was really special. Also Farrah got a big ol' knot on her head, because she ran full speed into a display table at Elder Beerman, it was horrible, but Farrah is so tough, she barely cried, she just wanted a lot of mommy snuggles. I think that is all. I will be able to do more with the blog this week, cause i will have a lot of time on my hands. Also, my new addiction is bow making (thanks to Hope teaching Suzanne who taught me!) so I plan on making a lot of pretty bows for Farrah and the new baby this week.
Also our belovd puppy Griffey is now with a new mommy. We are sad to see him go (well Farrah and I are) but it was just not good timing.
Here are a few pics, I will add more this week.

The Belly and the Beard

Here are a couple pics, I haven't really taken any pics of my growing belly, so we decided it was time to document it. Josh wanted to get some pics of his beard before he shaved it off!

New member of the family

Well we got a new addition to the family......a puppy. We got him monday night, he is a Chiweenie, part chihuahua and part minature dachsund. Josh named him Griffey (after Ken Griffey Jr). Farrah is just crazy about him. She is so sweet, she loves to pet and hold him, and likes putting him in his bed. Last night i was telling Farrah how we need to give Griffey some water, and she went and got her sippy cup of water and tried to give it to the puppy.......she is such a little mommy!

Indiana

Josh, Farrah and I spent the weeekend in Kentucky and Indiana with his family (BC, Hope and Anabelle came up from Atlanta!) We had a lot of fun. Farrah loved playing and roughing up her little cousin. In Indiana we got to visit the house that Josh's parents and sister are moving to. It is in the middle of nothing, but Josh and I really liked the house, and look forward to visiting them often! Farrah has got to be going through a growth spurt! Sorry other mom's reading this, you might want to kill me :) Farrah has been going to bed around 8 or 9pm and sleeps in till after 10am!!!!! then takes a nap at noon....for like 3-4 hours! I don't know how long it will last, but i am loving it, especially since i am starting to feel pregnant, and tired! She usually sleeps from 8-8 and takes a nap at 10-12 and 4-5:30. She was such a bad sleeper when she was a newborn, I am so glad she got over that! Well the pregnancy is going well. My blood pressure is going up and down, so the doctor told me to stay off of my feet as much as possible, which is funny cause i have a 16month old! I have been checking my blood pressure a lot, and it has been good and low, so i am happy! Those of you who don't know, when i was pregnant with Farrah my blood pressure was high the whole time, and i developed pre-eclempsia, because of that I was induced early.

Here are some pics of a fish fry we had at my parents house, we caught and ate 47 bluegill! we had so much fun, and farrah loved looking at the fish.



Later that night we got Farrah to do some new tricks.......she is so entertaining!



Lets dress up!

Farrah had fun trying on Papi's endless supply of glasses!
