Right now...

...I'm listening to the moniter...and I just heard my little girl say her prayers, I didn't tell her to, infact I forgot to say them with her, she's just doing it on her own...she should be sleeping, instead she's having a conversation with her Father in Heaven.

...I've got a darling, beautiful, healthy baby laying on my lap sleeping peacefully, my leg has fallen asleep, but I don't want to wake up this precious little girl.

...I have a husband working hard to take care of our family, I miss him, the girls miss him, he misses us and is tired all of the time, but does it because he loves us...he sacrifices so much.

...I feel very blessed.

Maisy's Two Months Old!!

I guess with all of the holidays it shouldn't be too surprising that Maisy's two months already, but at the same time it's crazy...pregnancy seems to last so long and then they arrive and you can't seem to slow them down! She has grown and changed a bunch.

So here's her stats...

Weight 12 lbs. 8oz.,

Height 24 1/4 inches

She's already a drama queen like her big sis...one minute she's smiling huge and talking to you and the next minute she's screaming her lungs out ( it must be exhausting being so cute)! I Love the talking though, it's worth the screams (for now) =0). I seem to remember with Kenna that it wasn't until she was 8 or 9 weeks old (around her blessing day) that she started cooing, but Maisy's been doing it since she was about 4 or 5 weeks old and smiling happened much faster with her too (just a couple weeks old). We always thought Kenna was more like her Daddy, looks like Maisy's more like her Mommy. What a cutie, she's so much fun!! Happy 2 mo. b-day Maisy...how about some presents to celebrate?! Very well, the 25th it is! =0)

The video is a couple minutes, it's a cute conversation with Maze. Sorry it's so long, but as long as she was talking I didn't want to stop the camera. I've seriously tried to catch her talking to me for a few weeks and everytime I'd finally get it ready she'd be done and be fussy or crying. She talked so much in this one though that it was worth it!

It's almost Christmas and I'm posting Halloween ("Just a little behind?!")

So just trying to catch up on some things, obviously I'm still trying to get a handle on everything now that I have two kids and this busy time of year isn't helping (I know, I know, really when is it not a busy time of year?...)

Maisy was born 11 days before Halloween, so there wasn't too much time for life to slow down...I probably could have and should have, but you know me, can't miss out on any fun! =0)

I took Maisy to her first Witches' Tea Party. She was only 5 days old (gotta start 'em young!) =0). She had her very own witch costume, something that is very important to my mother (grandma) who is Queen of all witches--- gotta have her girls dressed right for the holiday you know =0)! Tea parties happen a lot at Mom's, especially Witches' Tea Parties (atleast 3 in Oct.), can't get enough of the delicious food, beautiful table setting/decortions, time spent with friends, and of course the dressing up!

Usually we do Boo at the Zoo, but due to the massive lines we decided to try the Trick-or-Treat on Halloween Street earlier that same day. I was surprised when they charged Mike and I as well, but then we got to trick or treat and participate in everything too (except the bouncy gym, maybe I should've complained =0)). There was a good amount of things to do and with the pounds of candy we got, it was definitely worth it! Kenna's so funny, as we were heading over to the expo, she started "posing" for me, she just LOVES being Cinderella!!
We picked pumpkins on the 13th of October (tried to have it put me into labor, yah, didn't happen!) and then carved them on the 27th, celebrating my dads birthday and Maisy's week old birthday. Both sets of grandparents came too, it's crazy to think my kids make them Great Grandparents, although to me, they've always been GREAT =0).



So for Halloween Makenna was set on the entire family being Disney Royalty. She was Cinderella, of course, and chose Sleeping Beauty for me (if only I could sleep a lot and be beautiful 24/7! LOL) Prince Charming for Mike (great choice!=0)) and Maisy as Snow White. Luckily Mike and I were able to slide on wearing the exact attire, she still called us by our royalty names, she's such a hoot! My princesses were darling, Maisy was the Snow White after she ate the poisened apple, cuz she pretty much just slept the whole time (definitely not a complaint!) and Kenna danced with anyone she could get ahold of! What a day, it started off at the airport where Mike and Kenna welcomed Mike's step-brother Andrew home from his mission. We then trick-or-treated at Med-One Medical, Grandma Hartwell's, got together with a small group of families from our ward for trick-or-treating, did our neighborhood a little and then Grandma and Grandpa Jacobson's....good thing we had a lot of candy to keep us going!!

We just LOVE Halloween!! Kenna still talks about it, wanting to know when we'll get to celebrate again and what we'll all be... can't wait until next year!!!
