Just Hangin' Out

Well still no baby... I am going to be induced on Monday at 6:00 am if I haven't had her by then. Hopefully I'll go into labor on my own though. In the meantime we've just been hanging out having fun reading books and looking cute :) Madeline loves anything to do with winnie the pooh. She gets her stuffed animals first thing in the morning and brings them to my bed.

Weekend Fun

Aliza took her first step yesterday! It was kind of fun because both Jared and I were both there. We also slept outside in our backyard on Friday night. That is our version of camping right now because I don't want to have to go to the bathroom so often in the wilderness :) We put the girls in the play pen and we slept on the ground. It was very fun. We'll definitely do it again!

Still Pregnant

Well I'm still pregnant, so I thought I should let everyone know :) I really wanted the baby to be born on 7-7-7 so last Friday and Saturday I worked really hard to hopefully self-induce labor. It didn't work though... instead I was just super tired so I have decided I'll just let the baby come when she wants to come. The doctor did say at our appointment on Monday that if I haven't had the baby by the 23rd he will induce me. (My due date is July 18th). So it won't be too much longer until we have three little girls! Exciting! I have to say I'm excited not to be pregnant anymore too!

4th of July

We had a really nice Independence day. We went to our ward breakfast at 8:00 and then went home and all took naps. Later we went to a city about 20 minutes away where there was a little fair type thing. It reminded me of days when I was little and went to the fair days in Heber. After that we went to the snake river and had a lot of fun. Jared swam across the river and the girls played in the water and mud. Aliza started eating the mud!! I tried stopping her but it was pretty difficult, then I just decided she looked cute so I took some pictures and then washed her off. We just decided to stay home and watch fireworks from our backyard to avoid traffic and tired children. I was surprised at how many fireworks we were able to see! We had a really fun day! I really love the fourth of July. I think it is my favorite holiday. I am so thankful to live in the United States and to have our freedom. God Bless America!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Aliza!!!

Yesterday Aliza turned 1 year old!! What a fun day to celebrate... the birth of our daughter and Independence Day. I made Aliza a lady bug cake and we let her go at it herself. She mostly just ate the frosting. Just like Madeline. Madeline liked opening Aliza's presents more than Aliza... Madeline doesn't quite understand that the presents are for Aliza and not her. Luckily Aliza is young enough that she doesn't care. She even had fun just playing with the clothes she received! We love our little Aliza so much. She is such a sweet, easy going baby.

Aliza's First Haircut

On Saturday I decided to cut Aliza's hair for the first time. She was pretty wiggly so it made for an interesting adventure:) I think I cut off about 1/2 to 1 inch... pretty long for an almost 1 year old!!

Happy Birthday Madeline!!

On Monday, June 25th Madeline turned 2 years old!!! I made her an elmo cake and she was so excited about it all day. She had discovered that she loves frosting so the whole time I was making the cake she was chasing me around trying to sneak some frosting. When we ate her cake she didn't even hardly eat the cake, just the frosting. I bought Madeline some cheap sunglasses from the dollar store and she thought they were so cool, even though they broke pretty much right away. A dollar well spent :)
The last picture is an outfit that was given to her from her Grandpa and Grandma Smith. I am so thankful we have our little Madeline. She is so fun and makes our life so interesing!
