Sweet sweet emi has lots of sweet sweet potatos in her tummy and is taking her sweet sweet time falling asleep (and or going poop). I think she might be down. But she whimpers and crys every few minutes. I’m going to try and fall asleep now, but I might be up with her again [...]

We were getting ready to lay down for naps! (Yay!) And then the girls went to get a drink in the kitchen and came running and screaming “ITS ON THE TWO!” (boo- so close!). So I let it go. Said good bye to my nap and said CHECK THE CHART. Now they are happily playing [...]

Yum yum!!! It is actually delicious! I love raw steamed vegies! I blended them up with left over mushy rice and they are all ready to freeze.
Garth brought home SCREAMING sling shot monkeys. They are loud!!! The girls love them! But they will probably “get lost” soon ;)
And sound asleep!!! I got Emi and Garth was able to sleep in a little longer. :)
Emi still loves being wrapped up tight for bedtime! She will lay and smile & talk and then drift off to sleep within 20-30 minutes. If she cries she usually needs to burp and then lays right back down. My sweet girl!! She sleeps from 8pm ish to 6:30am ish.
I had a great time using the rice cooker to make these sweet potatos. Super duper easy!! I cooked rice (1 cup rice to 3 cups water). Next I added the steamer full of sweet potatos and cooked everything again. This makes the rice nice and mushy! Then I blended it all together in my little machine thing. These [...]

I think it is SUPER awesome to be part of the 2010 census! I can’t help but think back on our ancestors being part of the census long long ago and that is how we do our family history research. So cool!! And I wonder if someone will look back in 2200 and find our [...]
We had a playdate with Gracie, Nicole, and the other Gracie from preschool. They played great — except a few bits of drama mostly our Gracie was getting tired and wanted everything to go her way.
We made cupcakes to take to Gracie’s preschool for Ainsley’s birthday. :) we are celebrating all week!
Ainsley, Emi and I walked to the neighbors and this is what Ainsley did to stay warm. She couldn’t see except 8 inches infront of her feet.
We were up and out early so the girls got to jump on the tramp before preschool. It was FREEEEEEEZING!! but they were happy!
Loved ones called, Txt, and FB and wished Ainsley Happy Birthday!
We were attempting to do a Video Chat with Dad (but his Internet was too slow) and so we did one with grAnnie and sang Happy Birthday and gave her a tour of the house. It was a great end to a wonderful birthday!!
Ainsley has had a GREAT birthday!!! She gets to do anything she wants!! For instance: she picked all three meals today. In the car singing to Barbie she got to pick what color Barbie she was going to sing and told Gracie what Barbie she had to sing along with. She got to pick from the treasure box [...]
We drove to salem to get the house shelf and then we drove to Murray to get the high chair. Emi and Ainsley were champs in the car all day!! This is the Eddie Bauer high chair you can buy new at Toys R Us for $150 and I got ut on KSL.com classifieds for $60. [...]
Being away from my mom is bad!!!! I wanted her to come this weekend while Garth was gone. But she couldn’t. She got sick, there was a disaster at school and it snowed in Vegas!!! I told her she better listen to me next time!!! Because bad things happen when we are apart for too long. [...]
Miss Barbara says Gracie is doing great!!! This is the other Gracie who lost her tooth when our Gracie bumped her mouth yesterday. They were telling me the story. It was a bonding experience!

Our big birthday girl! She needs some practice holding up 3 fingers. But she is so cute concentrating getting them up.
Ainsley turns 3 today!! She is such a wonderful little girl! She has 1000+ word vocabulary and speaks in long sentances. She knows all of her letters, sounds, colors, and shapes. She LOVES technology and can use my iPhone and Laptop like a pro! Happy Birthday sweetheart!
Garth filled the room by using the word “poo” in his sessions title! All his nerd buddies have 8thgradehumor!! He presented for an hour on “Your Flash App looks like poo” I wish I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The room was packed with people STANDing! I am so proud of him!!

Gracie at preschool. Ainsley at playdate. I have 1.5 hours of free time. I enjoy snuggling with Emi. She has been on the grumpy side since yesterday afternoon. I don’t know if she misses her Daddy or if she is teething. Until a tooth pops out or Dad gets home I will just sit and [...]
Gracie is all ready for Kindergarten in the fall! We signed up today and the girls watched the flag & announcements while I was doing paperwork. Then I dropped Gracie off at her new preschool with Mrs. Barbara. And Ainsley off at a playdate. I’m home alone w Emi. My girls are getting so big!! [...]
We made it through night #2 w/o Dad. Emi woke up around 6:30ish and I rolled out of bed 6:45ish. The big girls popped out of bed at 7:30ish and were acting super silly to make Emi laugh putting on her headbands. The last photo is my favorite.
