Some boring posts

What is with all the posts with no pictures. I know those are no fun. I will try and add pictures soon, but first I have to take pictures. So far this week has been really busy, so I haven't had a chance to take any pictures of the girls.
Last night was the Primary Water Activity, that I was in charge of, and it was a complete success. We had a slip-n-slide, a blow up slide, a sponge race, a water rocket/sling shoot station, and a food station. The kids had so much fun, and I had lots of help. Unfortunately, me being all stressed out about getting everything to the church (hoses, signs, hammer, toys…….) I forgot to bring a camera.

Farrah’s new things:
She is still asking “why?” after most things that I tell her. I called Joshua yesterday at work to tell him about Farrah’s new saying, and he was like “NO! I was wondering when that stage was going to come. Just tell her ‘because I said so’” It was pretty funny (both of us are not fans of the “why?” but the way Farrah does it, it really is adorable. She also asks “You OK?” a lot. This morning during breakfast I coughed and she asked me that, and then whenever Adra falls (while walking) she asks her that, or she will just ask you even if you are doing nothing. It is so sweet. Everything that kid does is just so precious. She is growing up so fast, and surprises us everyday. She also likes to put on her shoes, and she always puts them on backwards (I think on purpose), and lately she has been wanted to wear her rain boats that are a size to small for her (that is something I will need to take a picture of, because it is so stinking cute!).

Adra is still eating a ton. Just to show you an example, this morning for breakfast I feed her a container of Gerber’s 2nd baby food, a whole banana, a handful of cheerios, and now she is eating some raisins! She eats and eats and eats! She is walking better and better everyday. She loves to climb up the stairs, because she knows she will be chased, and once she sees you running after her, she shoots up the stairs as fast as she can, and then once you get close to her she turns around and gives you a hug! She loves to give snuggles, and I just love it because I get the most snuggles. She is a big mama’s girl!

Now it is time for me to clean...........oh joy!

Why?

Just wanted to do a quick post. I am getting everything ready for the primary water activity, with a lot of help from my husband and parents (I am so thankful!)
Farrah started asking "why?" today, after everything I tell her! It is so funny. It just clicked in her head today, that I need to explain myself! She also started a couple weeks ago bringing me food that is junk food, and says "me have this, so yummy!" and smiles so sweet and gives me kisses! I usually don't give in though.
Anyways wish me luck tonight! Tomorrow I will be able to relax (a little bit!)

Home Sweet Home

Well we are finally home. My parents came back yesterday from Joel's wedding in Texas, and we decided to spend one more night at their house (since we were lazy and didn't pack!) We had a nice time there, it was like a mini vacation. This week is going to be a really busy week (this whole summer has been one busy blur!). I in charge of the Primary Water Activity this year and it is this Wednesday, so I have a ton of last minute things to get done for that. This weekend Josh's family is coming up (so that means we need to clean the house and get it ready for our fun visitors) and we are getting a family picture done Saturday (so I have to find a coordinating shirt for that), and also this weekend is Joel and Brittney's reception. (And then everyday life, which is busy by itself!) I am tired just thinking about it. Of course today instead of working on much needed matters of business, I worked on my quilt at my mom's all day! I am very excited though, because I finished the front of it, and I really like the way it turned out.

On Friday Adra's front top tooth pocked on through, the other top front tooth started to come out today. She is growing up so fast, I just want to freeze time! I can hardly believe she is almost one year old!

A couple videos

I forgot to mention this but I have decided as of yesterday that Adra can officially walk. She has been taking steps for awhile now, but now she walks more then she crawls. It just hit her yesterday how cool walking is, so now she tries to walk everywhere, and does a great job! So here is a video of our little Adra walking (she looks really wobbly all the time, but she really does walk very well!)

Farrah loves to dance, and she loves this song, whenever she hears it she can not help but start dancing! (I am not sure where she got the squating dance moves, but I just love it!)

Adra Mae

Just a short update. We took Adra to the doctors yesterday and she weighs 15 lbs 8 ounces (below the 5th percentile), and is 28.5 inches long (between 25th and 50th percentile). Although she is really skinny the doctor is not worried about her because she is gaining weight, and she eats a ton! Adra is 9 months and 3 weeks old (wow time flies!). When the nurse started to examine Adra, Farrah started to cry (I am not sure if she was a worried about her sister, or worried she was next...my guess is a little of both). I will try and upload some pictures when I get a chance (but this computer seems to not want me to!).

Here are some pictures from my parents camera. They were taken on June 28th

Breaking Dawn

On Friday we drove down to Louisville so that Molly, Hope and I could go to the Breaking Dawn release party at the mall. We got there at 9 and the party started at 9:30 (we are such dorks!). While we were there we got to eat delicious red velvet cake, and meet other Twilight fans. It was a lot of fun and a great GNO (girls night out!) At midnight we were in line (we were one of the first!) to get the final installment of the Twilight saga....Breaking Dawn. At 5:30 today I finished this amazing book......OH MY GOODNESS.....it was amazing, definitely the best book in the series. Now that I am finished with it, I can get back to “normal” life (I am sure my daughters will appreciate that!)

Currently we are house sitting at my parents, because they are driving to Texas to attend Joel’s wedding. I do have some pictures that I will try to upload. Adra has been walking more; she has taken seven consecutive steps. Farrah cracks us up daily with her new sayings. She is so precious (right now she just ran in the room and said “Sit your lap mommy”…..so sweet)
My parents have a swing set (with a slide and climbing wall and fort), Farrah loves it and calls it her house. There is a toddler swing that Farrah loves to be pushed in and the whole time she keeps saying, “Higher, Higher!” - the little daredevil!

Sorry I can't get any pictures to load!
