To sum it up... pics!

What have we been up to...

Stuffed our whole house in Illinois and fit it in the pod.... Then shipped it and us back to Salt Lake.... Yay!!! (Had a wonderful Ward that helped! Miss them LOTS!)

Still enjoying our new lil' addition to the family! She is getting so big and is already 2 1/2 months old!!! (time is going by way too fast!)

Aubrilynn gets a little jealous at times but handles it pretty well. She likes to do 'baby' stuff every now and then but still shows Major signs that she is the Big Girl of the two. Her vocabulary continues to surprise me day after day! So proud of her :)

She loves her Dora!

And cute Kaysia is just growin and growin! She already has quite the personality and is quite the 'talker' when she wakes up and is full of smiles! We are amazed at how similar Kaysia and Aubrilynn looked when they were babies.... its the nose! ;) I'll have to post compare pics later, don't have access or time at the moment! Anyway that's us in a nutshell! I will go into detail later when I have a moment but we are glad to be back among friends and family!!! And so excited my baby girls are going to have a cute lil' girl cousin in October!!! yay!

Little Late

These past two weekends have been quite enjoyable for our lil' family. Mark and I were able to go to the St. Louis temple (it feels like forever since I've been... I never made it while I was pregnant) so it was so nice to attend again! It was beautiful and brought needed comfort.

This past weekend we were able to go to the zoo as a family. It was nice because it was overcast... even though it did end up raining on us! But that is not what got Aubrilynn drenched :) Her and Daddy went to see a little waterfall and it ended up squirting them!! It came as a shock to both, and seriously, 2 min after that it started a small downpour. Which switched between the heavy and light rain from then on. Kaysia was bundled up and covered, Aubrilynn didn't mind getting a little wet. We did end up leaving shortly after that, but Aubrilynn enjoyed herself and was tuckered out. Which helped us get a well needed nap when we got home.

This upcoming week we have the joys of packing and moving.... again.... :) Oh the joys! I'm excited for this move and am surprised to find that i'm not too stressed about it! I have my moments, but we'll see how it goes :)

Kaysia is...

One Month Old Already!!! * Loves to cuddle * Doesn't care for swaddling, prefers to be spread out

~ (hence the constant kicking in my tummy) :) * So far will fall asleep any where (unlike Aubrilynn ever did) * Easiest baby to feed! Will nurse or take a bottle- can be room temperature! * Makes tons of noises at night while sleeping... only a few during the day * Holds her head up very well * Has beautiful sapphire eyes, for right now * Accepts a binki * She is a good baby and we're excited to have her! *

Yes, its a creepy bunny! ;)

I discovered my last year Easter pic of Aubrilynn~ look how much she has grown!! Crazy, cute girl! And no I did not get a chance to get a pic of her with the Easter bunny cuz I thought I still had another week before Easter.... :s The ONLY reason I discovered it was this past Sunday was because I went to Wal Mart -- only because I NEEDED to get some medicine for AubriLynn- and it was super busy so I asked the clerk why.... therefore I found out when it was!!! (That's what I get for not having a calendar with the printed holidays on it!) ;)

Easter day ended up quite interesting~ Conference was wonderful, although it was hard to be able to listen to all talks. But the ones I heard were great. The girls were both having 'off' days.... In other words, they were soo cranky the whole day. We've been having quite a few days like that lately. Aubrilynn has been overcoming pink eye and then got a rash, all while cutting more teeth. She has quite the mouthful now, just a few left to go. So, as you can imagine with all that discomfort and on top of that mom and dad are dividing their attention with a new little bundle- doesn't make for a happy camper! :) Little Kaysia is well, she just makes a lot of those typical noises while she strengthens inner muscles~and had maybe a little pink eye-- seemed only to last for a day luckily, and is now getting ready to go through a little growth spurt which always cause them to be a little fussy beforehand.

So that was that, and since I am short on time and still learning to juggle my time.... this is all I have time to report. But, I must say.... the rumor going around that we may be coming up to visit soon..... its true ~ No day set yet tho!!! ;)

She is a lil' doll! Even though she is almost as big as Aubrilynn was, she still somehow seems more fragile and tiny than Aubri ever was. Home~life is good, what more can I say :) Kaysia is an added blessing already to our home. Aubrilynn is adjusting slowly but is doing pretty good handling the new living situation. She loves babies and is always excited to point them out and acknowledge her little sister, however at times doesn't know how she feels about sharing the undivided attention she once had from her parents :) But she is glad Kaysia sleeps a lot in the day so she can still have us all to herself!
I love the fact that my baby girl has finally arrived and my life is once again able to start falling back into place! Which I may still have some postpartum stuff to deal with, but oddly I just haven't come upon some of it yet. My emotions feel like they are back in order and I have my zest for life back, along with some energy. (still working around the babys' irregular sleep schedule, which is hard but with the zest it helps me pull through it well!) I think the Lord is just blessing me tremendously and answering our prayers :)

The ward here is wonderful and very helpful for which we are extremely thankful. And Mark is an incredible husband... what more can I say. I am truly blessed.

We all want to Spring ahead!!

Waiting....waiting....waiting.... for uh~ spring that is :) you know, warm weather, sunshine, playing in the park with hyper active lil ones! The pregnancy?! oh- yeah, that too.... :)
(yeah can ya tell Im so wanting it to just be done! How much more can one prepare?!) In the meantime, I cherish the days of warm weather-- which we only had 2 these past 2 weeks! And yes, the opportunity to take Aubrilyn to the park was snatched up! --By my husband (I was soo tired I missed out :( But they had a blast! He says she was keeping up with all the 2 yr olds- only difference was in the way she waddled while running! She climbed up everything herself and couldn't get enough! (This was the extra mini-sized play ground mind-you!) Wish I was there, but waiting for this rain to go away so we can go again. I don't like being trapped in this house-- then again the thought chasing her around... Hence why I'd need Mark there! :)

So, other than the waiting game in ALL aspects, nothing else seems to be happening in my mind... I kind of have a very narrow focus of all that is going on. Not to mention being soo scatter brained I forget everything! So~ here are some pics of my baby girls first time at the park- even sliding all by herself! (If I was there, I would have probably been a nervous wreck imagining all the ways she could hurt herself!)

~Tribute, With Love~
