Just Hanging Around..

This was taken about two months ago. Cecely is no longer on the floor. She loves to try and walk. She cruises around furniture and will occasionally let go. She loves to be around her sisters. Sometimes this can annoy them, she loves to give loves in the style of pulling hair, slobbery kisses, trying to eat your hands and feet and slapping you really hard while saying "soft, soft".
This is my mom with our little chunky monkey. She loves her grandma. My mom smothers her with loves and kisses. She can't get enough of her. She is at such a fun age. Everything is funny to her and she thinks she can talk. She will come up to you and talk to you in the language that sounds like Swedish and then look at you like "didn't you understand me"?.
Here is my happy girl again. She is always smiling. She is such a great baby. Such a huge blessing in our lives. She loves everyone and loves to be the center of attention. She has quite the comedic timing too. She greets you with a great be "hiiiiiiiiiiii" she strings it out forever. If she hears her sisters coming down the stairs, she crawls really fast to go wait for them at the bottom.
This is her with her sisters. At least she isn't pulling any hair. It will take her about two minutes and then I hear Aislynn and Bailey yell "mom can you come get Cecely". She loves her sissies. She likes to try and steal their sippy cups. When they take them back she gets this look on her face like, "how dare you take that away, who do you think you are?"
This was taken on Easter. They just woke up, can you tell? My sweet girls. They are getting so big. I can't believe Aislynn will be four on the fifth of May and Cecely will be one on the ninth of May. Where does the time go? I love my girls!!!

Our Newest Edition

Okay, so this our new dog Max. He is a sweetheart of a dog. He is 1 1/2 years old. SO he still has a little puppy in him. He is very laid back for the most part. He loves to snuggle and be pet. He is a lover dog. He is fully house trained which was so nice for us. He is great with the girls and loves Cecely. She is his favorite. He loves to lick her and follow her around the house.
Can you tell how laid back he is? This is a relaxing night after spending the day playing with the girls. We got Max from a Schnauzer Shelter. We knew we wanted a Schnauzer because my parents have one and they have had her for about 4 years. She has always been really good with the girls. Plus they are hypo-allergenic so Adam does not have to worry about his allergies. The couple he was with before was an older couple. They did not want to have to deal with a dog anymore and wanted to travel pet free. They kept him outside all of the time. They really didn't do anything with him. He wasn't trained on a leash and had no clue what a bone even was. He was pretty shy and timid when we got him. OHHH how that has all changed. He is the sweetest dog ever!! Such a great addition to our family.
Here is our wet rat of a dog. He looks pretty pathetic here. He is really pretty. I mean handsome because he is a boy. The shelter we adopted him from is amazing. They paid for his annual shots and rabies shot. They are also paying for a tooth to be extracted. They really believe in what they do. I am so glad we were able to adopt Max.
This is my parent's dog Shotzy. They have had her for four years. She is so great. She has attitude let me tell you. She lets you know she runs that house. Her and Max get along great. She tried to show Max that she is boss however he doesn't let her think that for too long.
This is how timid he was when we first got him. It was so sad. After some serious TLC and good food and lots of reassurance our Max is a fun loving dog!! We love you Max!!!!

More Wedding

So, at the reception the girls got to dance with a lot of their aunts and uncles. It was so much fun for them. This is Aislynn dancing with her Aunt Heather. She was having a great time. Can't you tell from the look on her face. She enjoyed being tossed around and getting down to some tunes.
This is Bailey playing with her cousin Marin. They were supposed to be eating but you know how that goes. It's so much more fun to just play and laugh and giggle. Ahh to be a young again.
This is Cecely with her cousin Aleigha. Aleigha is about 3 months older than Cecely. They had a lot of fun crawling after each other and stealing each others toys. Aleigha is a sweetheart and has such a great sense of humor at her little age.
This is Cecely and Aleigha with Uncle Sean and cousin Rian. They had so much fun being held and snuggled and loved. Of course Cecely would rather be crawling and trying to walk. I have to force her to give me loves now. I miss the newborn stage when they were just little limp noodles that had no other choice but to snuggle and cuddle.
This is Aunt Tiffany(the bride) and her sister Aunt Melanie. I couldn't find any pictures of Rob(the groom). So I will have to get some and post them. All in all it was a wonderful time. We don't get to get together that often with everyone and so when we do it is very special. It's so nice that my girls have so many wonderful cousins and Aunt's and Uncle's to play with. Congrats to Tiff and Rob. We love you!!!

Let's start from the beginning...

Alright, first things first. At the beginning of March we went to New Mexico because Adam's sister Tiffany had her reception. It was great, lots of fun dancing, food and just an all around great time. I have lots of pics of everyone so there will be many posts on this reception. Adam decided to dance with Cecely. She loved it. She will shake her little head and move her bootie. If you say "dancing dancing" she will start to move and shake. Tiffany's wedding colors were Seafoam green and Peach. What a silly daddy we have.
Here is our beautiful Aislynn at the reception. She was more than willing to pose and smile. She thought she was a princess, and we let her know that she is. She had a great time and got to dance with lots of Aunt's and Uncle's. Plus she got to eat tons of M&M's.
Here is our beautiful Bailey sneaking some of those M&M's. She thought she was being pretty sneaky. This is her "I've been caught" face.
Here is me with Cecely. She chowed down on pretzels and everything else. I didn't know that pretzels could be so messy until she ate one and got most of it on her dress. Oh well, it's not like baby clothes come in plastic right?
Here is Aislynn eating a variety of M&M's, strawberries with chocolate and pretzels. I caught her right as she was taking a big bite!! My kids are just so beautiful. They had so much fun that day. It was so nice to be with all of the family. More pics to come. I will even post pics of the bride and groom!!!!

Whirlwind of things!

Well, yes we are alive. Sorry it's taken so long for me to blog. I have gotten many emails on the subject and I am so sorry. It seems like it has been one of those months or two. So, here is the update. We went to New Mexico for my sis in laws wedding reception. That was at the beginning of March. It was beautiful and so great to see everyone. I will have to post pics. For now this is just a word update. We saw all of our family minus Clint's wife Jenna. We missed her very much. It was so great for the girls to get to play with their cousins. Grandma and Grandpa Bingham have a great play room in their basement and the girls spent hours down there. It was a very fast trip and one that leaves you wanting to spend more time with everyone. During the month of March we were battling sickness in our house. Cecely got sick with two double ear infections, croup and had to be on a nebulizer until her chest got better. She was such a happy baby though. She always is a happy little camper. The stomach flu also hit our family with full force. Bailey and I got hit the worst. We were both throwing up and everything else. I was so sick. I was throwing up every 45 minutes . That took a while to get out of our house.

Aislynn caught a cold from somewhere and was sick for a little bit. We also got a dog. I will post pics of him and his story. The girls love him and he fits right in with our family. He is a mini Schnauzer. My parents have one and she is the greatest. I have also been catching up with old high school and church friends. It has been so great spending time with them and their wonderful families. Since I grew up here, I have so many wonderful memories and people that I love and get to hang out with again.

Adam is working very hard. He has been working 12 hour days. He is doing well sampling for a well that they are building in Sahuarita. He loves it, but comes home exhausted. He is still on the activities committee for church. I am still in the Primary. I love it and love teaching my little Sunbeams. They make me laugh and also humble me a great deal. We love our home and love our neighborhood. There are so many great people around us and lots of great parks. We feel very blessed to live here and be so close to family.

We visit my parents pretty often. They are about 45 minutes away. They love seeing the girls. Grandma spoils them rotten and I am so grateful for my parents. The kiddos are growing like weeds. They are so smart and beautiful. Bailey is proving to be my independent back talker. She has an opinion on everything and she lets you know it. She is such a great friend to everyone and loves to play and has so much energy. Aislynn is my loving helper. She loves to clean and help with anything. She is smart and loves puzzles and can put them together in no time flat. She hums whenever she does anything and loves to give loves and kisses. Cecely is getting so big and is beautiful. She is into everything and smiles and laughs and loves to eat. She thinks she is big enough to walk and lets go of things and tries. She is the sweetest thing and we love her so much.

I will post pics soon I promise. I have so many to post it's almost overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who reads our blog!!! We love and miss you!
