I am a big kid now

Now that Hayley is sleeping through the night we decided that after 10 months of sleeping in our room, it was time for her to move out. So while the girls and I were in Utah, Eli moved Hayley's crib into Aubree's room. As some of you may know, Aubree hates change. One of the most frustrating side effects of this is that she dosen't want to give up her crib. So up until we went to Utah, she was still sleeping in it. At Gran and Papa's she decided to sleep on a air mattress on Gran's floor. I think that broke the ice. While Eli was rearranging the girls room to fit Hayley's crib, he converted Aubree's crib into a toddler bed. And she LOVED IT.
The girls have done really well in regards to not waking each other up too early. I mean 6:30 is morning, so we can't complain to much.
The girls room is still a work in progress so I will keep you updated.

Thanks babe for doing this.

Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a lot of fun in Utah, but the girls were glad to get home to daddy. I am always impressed at how much them miss him when we are gone, even Hayley. They have daddy wrapped right around their little fingers, but I think that is the way it is supposed to be.

At what point has weight become an obsession?

For Christmas Eli found the perfect gift for my dad. He got him a luggage scale. You attach a strap to your piece of luggage, lift the luggage, and then after it beeps, it tells you how much it weighs. This was the perfect gift for my dad because he would weigh the luggage on the regular bathroom scale. However if the piece of luggage wouldn't fit he would weigh himself first with the luggage and then without. This little device Eli found is a lot easier. The luggage scale is so great because you already know before you get to the airport that everything weighs the right amount, and there will be no rearranging the suitcase contents. So before we left for the airport we weighed the luggage. It was all Aubree could do to wait her turn to be weighed. We are proud to announce that Aubree weigh more than one of the bags and less than the other. Eli always teases me that I buy way too much in Utah.

Another Testiment of Jesus Christ

When my mom reads her Book of Mormon, she always has a colored pen at the ready to mark what she finds important. Every time she starts to read it again she uses a new color. No trip to Utah would be complete with out a stop at the distribution center. Aubree asked if she could get a Book of Mormon just like Gran. How could I say no to my sweet Aubree wanting a Book of Mormon. When we got back to my mom's house Aubree went right in and got a colored pen and put it in her book. (My mom uses the $2 blue one).
When Gran sat down to read so did Aubree
Whatever Aubs was reading she must have found impressive because she decided to "color" like Gran.
This was the end result. I decided that it didn't hurt that she was coloring in it because she watches Gran do it. I am sure she wasn't doing it out of disrespect but from an example of someone who truly loves The Book of Mormon.
Aubs BoM next to Gran's...

Papa's special birthday breakfast

Crepe's are one of my other personal favorite foods. ( I think I might have a little thing for warm breakfast foods???) It is a tradition in my family that we have peach crepe's for breakfast on our birthday's (everyone except Necia, who doesn't even like them...????) Since Aubree has become quite the chef, she helped Gran make Papa's crepe's.
What would birthday food be with out candles? Can you guess who got to blow out the candles?

Happy Birthday Papa!!!!

We went out to celebrate Papa's birthday at The Old Spaghetti Factory. It is somewhere that we love and they are very kid friendly. Aubree and Hayley both really enjoyed their food. Aubree especially loved the ice cream. It was a lot of fun. My cute brother Trey and cute Hopey!!!!

1000 pieces

I love to do puzzles, maybe that is something you didn't know about me. When we went to Utah right after I had Hayley my dad got some new puzzles. However the little amount of sleep that Hayley was getting I was choosing to sleep as well. This last trip to Utah after I put the girls to sleep I had enough time to do a puzzle. I love Erick Dowdle puzzles, they are so beautiful. The best thing about them is you can pick up almost any piece, look at the picture and know exactly where it goes. We decided to do New York City, which was fun because we both love New York. My goal is to have the puzzles finished before I leave. Thanks to dad, we barely finished it. And because he is the best dad he always always lets me put the very last piece it.
THANKS DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
