Could this be anymore random?

I'm decorating Presleigh's room, and this is one of my first creations. I forgot to take a before picture but I painted this little rocking chair orange. Presleigh loves this chair that my sister gave to her. She sits in it and rocks her little doll and pats its little back just like I do to Noah. I also just ordered some cute Anna Maria Horner fabric to make an awesome quilt for her bed. I am having so much fun looking for old stuff on craigslist that I can refurbish and throw in her little eclectic bedroom. I hope it turns out!!


So I decided to bust into the boys 12months and up clothes that my sister gave to me because Noah is starting to get really big. Well I was so excited to find this cute little dinosaur PJ set. I remember when my nephew use to wear this little outfit, I always thought it was hecka adorable. Since Noah can't quite fit into it, I thought it would be cute on my little sweet Presleigh. And of course I was right. Do you think this is what Noah will look like in a couple years?
This is cousin Hadley! This weekend Presleigh kept saying "I want haddy" it was so cute. I babysit all the cousins in the neighborhood which includes 5 extra kiddos, about once a week. Presleigh is just starting to say their names. She loves her Haddy!!!
Here Presleigh is playing with cousin Gavin on the scooter. She loves to be pushed around on this thing. She likes the razor scooter a lil bit more though, because it goes faster


I'm starting to want to be in the pictures with my kiddos, now that i'm losing some of the baby weight.

Isn't this shirt so cute. I had to get it as soon as I spotted it. Presleigh is so cute with her little friends (when she's not hitting them). Oh yeah, I forgot to tell, we've been having some major hitting issues. I'm hoping she'll grow out of it. SOON!!!!
Here are the kiddos. Not the best pic. I was trying to hold onto Noah and hold my big ol camera, it wasn't very easy, as you can tell.

Now she just needs a little bicycle to go with the helmet.


Too bad Noah is hunched over in the picture. But here is my cute little family. They are kind of wearing coordinating outfits. Because I'm such a hip cool coordinating mom, i'm sure I was wearing orange that day too :). Hey what's wrong with wanting to look like a stylishly united family when we go to birthday parties?

Here is Presleigh and Haddy sitting on my new rocking chair. Yes, finally I have a rocking chair. Now I just need to sand it, prime it, and paint it turquoise and then I can actually rock my babies in it. I'm sure it will only take me two weeks!!!

Baby Blessing

Noah's baby blessing was actually at the beginning of the month, I just haven't found the time to actually blog about it. Wayne did a wonderful job blessing baby Noah. The spirit was so strong. I am so blessed to have a husband who honors his Priesthood and is able to give our children blessings. I feel so much peace knowing that the Priesthood is in our home. After church we spent the day at home with Wayne's parents. It was so nice to have them come to town for this special day. September 6, 2009

2 months already

Isn't it crazy how fast they grow and change. We took Nono (Presleigh's special name for Noah) in for his 2 month exam last week. He weighed in at 13 lbs 3 oz (85%) and is 24inches long (90%). He is definitely a growing boy, and a healthy one too. He is such a sweet little man. He is awake alot more now and is such a good baby. He is always smiling and talking to us. He basically sleeps through the night (about 7:30 to 5:30) which is so nice for his momma.

Fairy Tale Town

Last week while Wayne was out of town some friends and I took our kids to a place called Fairy Tale Town. It was so weird to be taking my two little ones here because I totally remember my mother taking my siblings and me to fairy tale town when we were little. Presleigh had a good time playing. This water fountain was actually her favorite.

Yes, that is one ginormous Mother Goose!!!

Joy in the journey

Lately I have been trying so hard to enjoy every moment I have with my kids.
Noah is such a sweet little boy. He is cooing and making so many noises and I just love him to death. He is getting so big so fast and it makes me so sad. He is already almost 7 weeks old but I swear he looks like he's 4 months. Feeding and sleeping are going much better now. He loves taking baths and he puts up with a lot from his big sis.

Presleigh has been so much fun lately. She learns new words every day and I'm loving it. Well, I love the nice words she learns. She is obsessed with brushing her teeth (thanks Grandma) and everytime she gets upset about something she always asks to brush her teeth. Everytime she gets hurts she always comes to me for a kiss on her hand (even if she bumps her head). She loves to go outside and pick the pretty purple flowers, and ride on the scooter. She would eat a whole box of slow melts a day if I would let her. She loves to push her baby around in the stroller. She absolutely loves her brother. She is always asking to hold him, and I love the little face she makes when he touches her cheek. She gets so excited. Sometimes she gets a little to close for comfort, like yesterday when she tried to sit on his lap while he was in his swing. She thinks it's her swing. She loves chairs, and is always saying "my chair." The other day she was playing with Noah's carseat and fell asleep in it (pictures to come). I love that she wants to help me clean. She helps put clothes in the dryer, and also helps me empty the silverware. I can't believe how much she understands. She's growing up so fast.

I am so blessed to have two amazing kids to spend so much of my time with. I love my little kiddos!!

My cute baby stuff!!!!

I wanted to finally post some pictures of the beautiful diaper bag that my mother made for me while she was here helping me with baby Noah. She was a little worried that I wouldn't use it because it is so massive, but I absolutely love it. It fits everything I need for Pres and Noah. I picked the fabric out when I was in Utah and we got the pattern out of the Amy Butler baby pattern book.


It has pockets all around the outside to fit all my stuff...

It even fits baby Noah!!

When I was in Montana in May I picked out the pattern for the baby bedding I wanted my mother to make for me. I also ordered the fabric and had it sent there so she could work on it. She got it done just in time for baby Noah's arrival. I was just expecting the crib skirt and bumper pad but she had extra fabric so she made this adorable quilt to go with it.







Aren't these buttons so stinking cute.

My sister and mother make the cutest Amy Butler bags and they have a blog, so go check it out. the address is http://www.runiqueboutique.blogspot.com/
