Valentine's Day

Welcome to Valentine's Day at the Bingham's. This is a picture of all the loot that the girls got at their preschool party. I made snickerdoodles for the party and also we did Valentine cards for each child in their preschool and kindergarten classes. The girls received the cutest cards. Most of the kids in their school are in our ward so of course we all know each other. The girls got cards from the boys that said, "you are so pretty valentine". Of course I know their moms had something to do with it. They were spoiled. Their teachers gave them these cute hearts with yummy chocolate inside.
Here is more of the loot. I cannot believe how much candy they had. They were so excited and had such a great day. Daddy got them some yummy sugar cookies with pink frosting on top and red heart gumdrops. He didn't forget about his girls on this special day.
These are the beautiful flowers my hubby gave to me. I am not a huge rose fan. I do think they are beautiful, however I love flowers with a little more diversity. These are gorgeous. He did an amazing job picking them out. What a great hubby I have. He then came home and cleaned for me. You know ladies what I am talking about. It is usually up to us to get dinner going and kids fed and then dinner dishes done and whatever damage has been done in the house from the kids. Then it's off to do laundry and fold it too. Well he did the kitchen and vacuumed. Such a huge relief for me. What a great guy!! I love my hubby so much and can't believe we have been married for almost nine years.
After an exhausting day of school and eating candy, oh and we also had a playmate over to play, the girls were tired. They were having some quite time watching one of their favorite shows Max and Ruby!!
We can't forget our little Cecely. She got Zwieback toast for Valentine's Day. Here she is going to town on it. This is one of her favorite treats. Plus it helps with cutting those teeth. She really didn't know what was going on but she loved her treat. She can be mama and daddy's valentine. I have Adam a box of dark chocolates for his treat. I told him how much we loved him and what a great daddy he is. We had a great day!!

Snow Days!!

It was a snow day at our house today. That is a major thing for Tucson. We rarely get snow. Growing up here I could count on one had the number of times it snowed. We live closer to the mountains and lo and behold it started snowing. It was absolutely beautiful. There is something magical about snow in the desert.
Aislynn and Bailey were so thrilled with the snow. They looked at it through the window for a while but that just wasn't good enough. Even mama wanted to get outside and feel it on my arms and face.
Adam had my van today so I opened the garage and let the girls play for just a little while. It was really cold, and they weren't really dressed for it. The were letting it fall in their eyes and on their feel and hands. Then they started opening their mouths and laughing as the snow fell on their tongues. I was having so much fun just watching them dance around and sing a made up song about snow.
They would get snow on their mouths and then try to kiss each other with the snow on their mouths and laugh and laugh. Bailey kept saying that Jesus loved the snow too and that he loved to play in the snow. You have to realize my girls have never really seen snow. We lived in Utah for a short time after they were born but they were basically babies when we moved to Florida. Then of course we moved here. So for them its a magical thing. They are to the age where they understand what it is and enjoy it so much.
What a great little break in the day. We had a wonderful time. It was also nice to sit in my nice warm home and look at it through the windows. My favorite moment of all though was watching my children enjoy the snow and play in the little flakes that were falling and then take the time to realize that it is a beautiful gift that was given to us by our Heavenly Father. Tender mercies, tiny miracles. What a great day.

Our house

Okay, for those of you that have been wanting to see our new house, here it is. The garage is actually on the back of the house. I haven't taken pictures of that yet. I will take more, don't worry. It was actually raining on this day, so it kind of looks dark and dreary. We will have landscaping in the front yard. We actually have some plants, but the builders put in the landscaping and then we had a freeze and it all died. So they will come again in April and put new landscaping in. We love our house. It's very cute.
Come on in. We would love to have you. This is our front door. We have been expecting you.
This is the bathroom down stairs. We usually have towels up and toilet paper in the toilet paper holder, but the girls like to hide these things and have each other look for them. The only problem is, when you go to use the bathroom good luck trying to find the toilet paper. I love this bathroom. Adam did the lovely floral arrangement in the alcove.
Here is our kitchen. Very cute. I love it. Sorry I took these really fast and this was before I cleaned. Can you tell we have kids? Notice the lovely artwork on the fridge and the bibs hanging from the stove.

This is our dining area. The china cabinet was given to us by my grandma. It looks really good with our cherry wood cabinets. I didn't take any pics of the living room or upstairs. Downstairs we have of course our kitchen and bathroom, dining room and laundry room that leads our to our garage. Upstairs we have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We have a little landing on the top of the stairs and that is where we have the computer. We have gorgeous mountain views and a gorgeous neighborhood. We frequently see coyotes, javelina, quail, a mountain lion you name it we see it. We have gorgeous walk areas and parks. We feel very blessed to live here. I will post more pics of the upstairs and living room when I take them. Hopefully this will hold you off for now!! Remember we would love for you to come visit. Our door is always open!!!

Preschool!

Well, as most of you know the girls have officially started Preschool. We were lucky enough to have a mother and daughter in our ward who teach Preschool. Both of them are teachers and have an incredible program that they teach the children. It includes dance, social studies, art, math, reading, and a number of other things. The mother(who is about my moms age) is a teacher as well as a professional dancer. She has taught dance in Austria the last couple of years. These are the girls shirts for art. They also needed to bring water bottles for any out door activities.
This is Mrs. Adrienne. She is the daughter. She has been teaching with her mom since she was 16. She went to school and received her degree in teaching and early child development. She had her own preschool in Thatcher and then they moved back here and she started teaching with her mom. They are so good with the kids and are genuinely interested in each child. It is also nice to know that gospel principles are implemented in their program. It makes leaving my little girls a little easier.
Before they started school on their first day, we arrived a little early. Adam took them for a walk around the house. They live smack dab in the middle of the desert and it's gorgeous. Our new home is pretty much in the desert as well. We are very lucky. We get to see lots of wildlife and the girls get an education every time they walk outside. I got the wonderful chance to see a Mountain Lion when coming home from dropping the girls off. It was beautiful. A little scary, but beautiful.
Here they are standing in front of the door. It was all we could do to get them to pose for a picture. They wanted to get in and get started. It was mom and dad who wanted them to pose and linger a little longer. Isn't it funny how we worry what our kids will do that first day, and we think that they will miss us and that we need to slowly guide them into the process, when in reality it is us that needs all of the reassuring and guiding. Here are my beautiful girls starting a very important step in their life. Why do they need to get big so fast?
They have an huge house that has an incredible basement. The entire basement has been turned into the preschool. They also teach kindergarten as well. You can see the girls got their puzzles and found their friends and they were on their way. A lot of their little friends from church go to this school so it's nice. I am sure the girls will have a great time here and learn so much. I am glad for their teachers and the time and love they give to each child. It's nice for this mommy to know that my little girls will gain a love of learning. Something I hope they carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Finally a Post!

Okay, so we finally have a new post after months of not having any. We broke down and bought a camera. We are in our new house and we love it!! I will do another blog with pictures of our new house. It's two stories and beautiful. So lots has been going on in the almost three months since we moved here to Tucson. We have a new home, the girls started preschool. Those pictures will come shortly. I have been called as the Sunbeam teacher. I teach my girls. That can prove to be a little challenging. I team teach with another wonderful woman. She is the one that told me about the preschool the girls are currently attending. Adam has been called to the Activities Committee. It's nice because he can take Cecely for me during Primary. We love our ward and feel very blessed to be here. The girls are growing by leaps and bounds. I took Cecely in for her 8 month appointment. She is 19 pounds 14 ounces. She is 28 inches long. She is in the 73rd percentile for both. She is a very healthy active girl. She is teething right now, so not too happy I guess. She makes us laugh everyday and is such a beautiful child. She loves her sisters and smiles so big and laughs every morning when they greet her in her crib. Aislynn and Bailey are doing really well. It has been quite the transition for them . They have started Sunbeams and Preschool. They love Sunbeams. Aislynn tends to be more of a free spirit and likes to wander off during Primary. She loves to dance around and pretend she is a ballerina. Both girls love Preschool and their two teachers Mrs. Adrienne and Mrs. Geraldine. We feel very blessed to have such an incredible little family.


Adam and I are doing great. Adam loves his job and I love being at home with my girls. We love and miss everyone very much and are so glad to be in Tucson. My parents enjoy being grandparents and being with my little ones. I feel so lucky to live so close to them. I will now keep up on the blog I promise. Thank you for being so patient with us!!Here is Cecely doing her yoga pose. For being a chunky baby she sure is flexible!!
This is in the morning, you can tell Cecely loves her sisters!! What a cute picture.
All my girls getting ready for Church.

Tis the Season

Okay, sorry for the lack of posts lately but things have been really busy. Our new home closes on the 27th of this month and we have the walk through on the 20th. So, we are moving again. I think that is a record. I do not want to move again for a very long time!! I am so excited though to have our own home. Our camera is officially dead and so we have not been able to take any pictures for a while. I do have some that I can download, I just haven't had the time. So we are doing very well. It's been cold and I love it. The girls are having so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa. They are getting spoiled. Everyone is growing by leaps and bounds. We love and miss everyone a lot. We are thinking of everyone during this holiday season. It will be so nice to be with family this year. We are truly blessed. I do not know how often I will post this month with everything going on, but for sure once we are settled in our new home I will start again. Merry Christmas to everyone!! We love you

We Live!!!!!

Hello Everyone! We live!!! We have survived the valley of the... Let us just say that we made it. The move was an awful experience as they took over 18 days to get our stuff here and then they charged an additional 1500$ without explaining that to us. This was a horrible experience but it was worth it to get out of Florida!!

We just got connected to the internet after having connection problems and modem problems with 2 different providers, thank heavens we are moving into our new house in a month or so. Hurray, we are buying a new house!!!

Well, we are grateful to be in Arizona closer to family and with a better job situation. We miss our friends terribly but are glad to see old ones out here.

Sorry no pictures at this time. But we will get some loaded soon. Everyone is healthy and happy minus the minor colds and sniffles from moving. Cecely is rolling over now and has a tooth. Aislynn and Bailey are getting into more trouble but are still too cute for words.

Love to all,

Binghams

Busy Busy Busy!!!

A lot of the times during the day I will find that Aislynn and Bailey love to accessorize their baby sister. It may be a hat, or a bracelet maybe even a purse. Whatever it is you can be sure that it is stylish!! Cecely doesn't mind. She is very patient with her older sisters. She loves the attention.
"Maniac Maniac on the floor, and she dancing like she's never danced before". Yes Bailey loves to put on headbands. Here she is sporting the Flash dance style. Oh this takes me back to the good old 80's.
Here is Aislynn coloring. She loves to draw and color. She is quite good at it too. I will have to post some of her art work. She is so beautiful and funny.
Here is Cecely in her Bumbo chair. Her little legs are so chubby that every time we try and get her out she gets stuck. She loves this chair though. I can't help but want to pinch all those cute little rolls.
Aislynn and Bailey playing with Playdoh. Bailey got a really cool Playdoh set for her birthday. The love to sit and play and make funny creatures. It keeps them pretty occupied for a while anyways.


Okay, on to other news. Adam and I are moving in one week. Yes one week. We are madly trying to get all the packing and everything done. Our house is completely filled with boxes. I am sure the girls are wondering what is going on. Of course we have moved quite a bit in their young little lives. I, frankly am very sick of it. I am excited though to move to Tucson and be closer to EVERYONE!!! I never thought I would say this, but I am also looking forward to cooler weather. Yeah, who thought anyone would ever think Arizona had cooler weather. It does folks. We are still in the upper 80's with tons of humidity. This will probably be my last post for a while until we get settled in. We are driving starting on Halloween and will drive as much as we can. My wonderful mother in law is coming to drive with me and the girls. Adam will be driving his jeep out. We have a company that will haul our stuff there. I don't know if the girls really understand what is happening but I do know that they are excited to be with Grandma and Grandpa. It will be such a wonderful opportunity for them to get to know them. They will finally be able to have a good relationship with them. My parents will have the joy and the happiness that I have as I watch my children grow. We will miss all of our friends in Florida very much. We have met some incredible families. You know who you are. The Morgan family is number one on our list. It is sad and happy all at once. There has been a lot of good things happen to us in Florida. We were very blessed here.

Some Updates

Well, Cecely had her four month check up last week. She weighs 16 pounds 2 ounces. Yes she is a chunky monkey. She is 24 inches tall. She is short. She is very healthy and very very happy. She makes us laugh everyday. She is now on cereal twice a day. The Pediatrician told us to go ahead and put her on cereal. It has helped control her ravenous hunger!!
Here is her face after her first feeding. She loved it though. She is a very social eater. She needs to talk to you the whole time she eats. She also has to stick her thumb in her mouth after every bite and suck on it, then she is ready for more. Aislynn and Bailey like to help. SO needless to say after everyone has helped feed her, she needs a bath.
She also grabs the spoon and tries to stick it in her mouth. She loves to do this. She has a strong little grip and it becomes a tug of war between mommy and baby. She laughs and things it's so funny. I have to admit, it kind of is. The mess may not be all that fun to clean up, but her little personality is just so cute!!
This is right after her bath and time for bed. She is still a happy camper and ready to give big smiles. She loves her daddy and loves to see him when he comes home. I am usually feeding her cereal when he gets home from work, and she will hear his voice and then see him and her arms will start flapping and she will start screeching and laughing and looking at him. She can't run to dad like the other two girls can, but she can sure let him know she sees him and she needs some loves too.
This is Bailey's favorite outfit. It is daddy's hat and daddy's sock. She is a cowgirl!! I tried to get a pic of Aislynn but she ran away!!

We have been doing really well. Things have been really hectic and busy around here. Trying to keep up with the girls, and I caught a cold. I haven't been sick since January. At least now I am not pregnant and can take something for it. I have tried to not kiss on my girls, it's really hard though. Lots of sanitizer. We have the missionaries over for dinner tonight. We are also in the midst of a very huge decision in our lives. We have felt for some time now that we needed to move closer to family. Somewhere in the west, where the girls could get to know their grandparents and cousins and aunt's and uncles. We feel like we just don't get to see anyone and the expense of living in Florida has taken it's toll on us. We have been praying for a while to decide what we should do and where we should go. Out of the blue last week one of Adam's old friends in Tucson called and offered him a job. It's actually working for the same company he is working for now. Adam interned at Brown and Caldwell way back when he was going to the UofA. They are in need of someone there, and it would basically be a job transfer. My family lives there, I grew up in Tucson. We were thrilled. So now we are just trying to make it work, and waiting for some salary things. They should let him keep his same pay, which would work much better there, it's not near as expensive. So we are excited, but when it does happen it will be the end of October. Thinking about getting everything done is enough to make me want to pass out, but I know we will get it done.

So we will keep everyone posted!! We love you all. Thanks so much for every one's prayers and support!!

Labor Day

Well, for our Labor Day weekend we decided to go and visit my brother in law (Adam's brother) and his wife and their beautiful baby. They live about 4 hours away. Now, 4 hours in the car would probably seem like a disaster with three kids under three. In fact it's enough to make some people pull their hair out at just the thought of doing this trip with three under three. I have to admit, I was a little worried. The kids were great. We had to do our potty breaks, and let the two older ones get out and walk around for a bit. Luckily we were in no huge hurry to get there. Clint was still at work and so was Jenna, so we took our time, no stress and had a great time. Cecely was a wonderful baby, she always is in the car. She rarely cries, unless of course hunger comes a calling. We thought we would buy her a toy that she could play with. It hooks on to her car seat and has some fun rattles and things that make noise. We were dead wrong. Turns out she just likes to sit and hang out and play with her fingers and suck her thumb. She also like looking at Aislynn and Bailey. They sing to her and smile and she laughs back. She hated the toy. She kept hitting it and getting mad and crying. As soon as we took it down she was fine.

So we finally got the Clint and Jenna's. Everyone had a very long day and the girls were ready for bed. That was a joke. We had them on the floor on sleeping bags. It took them a while to fall asleep. Then we it came our turn to go to bed in that same room, Bailey woke up and kept talking to me until two in the morning. SO Adam and I left the room and went to sleep on the couch, so she could get some sleep. She thought it was some sort of treat to have mom and dad in the room. She thought it was a mini sleep over and that she could talk to mom all night long. The next day which was Saturday we decided to go to the beach. Clint's mother in law owns a boat and so we went out on the boat with her and Clint and Aleigha and our family. Jenna had to work so she couldn't come with us. The above pictures are of us at the beach. We forgot our camera, so Clint took some of us. The only thing is is I have no pictures of Clint or Aleigha. She is such a doll baby. She just lays on the towel and talks and plays. She is about three months older than Cecely. She is such a good tempered baby. She smiles all the time. We had a great time. We were all pretty tired and fried by the end of the day. The girls did so well with such a long day. They loved the boat. We even got to see a dolphin.

We ended up going back home and the girls zonked right out for the night. No fuss from them. Cecely did really well. She loved being in her diaper at the beach. She also loved the boat, and just like the car does, it lulled her to sleep. We got up Sunday morning and enjoyed a relaxed morning. Uncle Clint helped Adam do some things with the car, including recharging our air, which was heaven sent. The trip up was a little hot because our air was going out. On the way home we had to turn the air down. We really enjoyed the trip. We especially loved seeing family. The girls can't stop talking about Uncle Clint and his boat and their baby cousin Aleigha. It's so nice to see family. That is by far the thing we miss the most about being here. I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Labor Day!!!

The Routine

When it comes to our house we try to have a routine about things. Now it doesn't always go as planned and what time we do it during the day isn't always the same but at least the kids know what we will do and they have come to love it. We have coloring time(above) we do arts and crafts. We play outside with chalk and washable paints (thank heavens for Crayola). We have reading time and music time. We love to learn our colors and numbers and how to write our names.
While we are doing all this Cecely is either on the floor or in her little jumper. My mother in law gave this to us when Bailey was a baby. She tended to be a little fussy, and this would usually do the trick. Well, Cecely loves to jump up and down and laugh and giggle. She is getting so big. She loves it!!
She is also practicing on how to roll over. She can do it, she just doesn't do it all the time. She has her friends in the corner cheering her on. She loves to talk to them and laugh. I know they are having the greatest conversations. I mean really who wouldn't love to talk to a hippo and frog?
So, the girls don't take naps anymore. They usually have a quiet time though, that is not so quiet. With them being in the same room I have come to realize that quiet just doesn't happen. So yesterday I went in to check on them and this is what I found. Aislynn was hiding in her dresser and Bailey was jumping on the bed. Notice that all the sheets have been pulled off and the mattress has been ripped from the bed. Books are everywhere and it is quite the disaster. Bailey must have noticed the look on my face when I walked in because she ran up to me and said " It's okay mom, everything is going to be alright".

We also go swimming in the morning before it gets too hot!! Notice my two cuties after a fun filled morning of swimming. We love our days together. Sometimes it can get pretty hectic, and things are rarely quiet, but we wouldn't have it any other way!!!!

My Monkeys!!

Here is our cute Peanut! She was just hanging out on the couch. She was basically talking to herself. She does that quite often if no one is there to entertain her. She usually has Aislynn or Bailey who are constantly playing with her. They do a good job of getting her toys and talking and singing to her.
She loves her tongue and of course her hands. When she isn't sucking her thumb she is sucking on her hand or sticking her tongue in and out. She makes cute little noises as she does it. She is a very happy baby and we get lots of compliments on her everywhere we go. We are so blessed to have her in our home.
As I said earlier, Bailey and Aislynn are very good at keeping her entertained while she is having some floor time. She eventually will get a little "over stimulated" from the girls and start grunting and whining. I am sure they will teach her so much. She is very blessed to have two great big sisters. I never had sisters. I have a great brother though. Still, I often wonder what it is like. I hope they will always love eachother. We will teach them that sisters are very special. I know because they are close in age there will be plenty of fighting over clothes, BOYS, dare I even say that word, and other things but deep down I know they will love each other very much.
This is after a very adventurous toddler day. Aislynn fell asleep mid sandwich. If you look towards her neck you will see the remnants of a sandwich. She had a busy day of birthday parties and swimming and cake and ice cream. What a great day!!!

We are doing well. It is very hot and very humid. It's too hot to take the girls outside after noon. We have fun crafts and things to do inside. The girls are all getting so big. Adam stays busy at work. He has lots of projects to keep him busy. We love and miss our friends and family very much. Hope every is enjoying their summer!! We are that is for sure.

The peanut has rolls

I can't help but take pictures of Cecely when she is sleeping! She is just so adorable. This is how we frequently find her. She can't get enough of her thumb. I mean isn't she just so cute!
She smiles really big and I was trying to get her to smile, but as soon as I put the camera up to her face she gave me this look like "what the heck mom". Oh well she is still so cute. I love this little outfit she has on. Before we even had kids we bought these adorable outfits. They are from "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" books by Eric Carle. We bought them in versatile colors so that they would fit a boy or girl. Aislynn never wore them and Bailey was born in the fall/winter so she didn't either. It's so nice to have new clothes even if people can't tell if she is a boy or girl.
This outfit I love too. I put it on her when she was about 4 weeks old and it was huge. I put it on now and it still a little big up on top, but now it barely buttons around her chubby legs. She is getting so big.
Bailey decided that she wanted to get into my makeup and make herself look like a cat. She was meowing and everything. I have to give her kudos for being so creative. She even did the whiskers on both sides.
Sometimes in Florida it is just too hot in the summer. Hot and humid. SO we decide to bring the outside play toys inside. We actually found this at Target for quite the bargain. It's sturdy enough for two toddlers and will hold up to the "Cecelynator" when she gets bigger. The only thing we can't bring in is the pool. But, at least the water stays cool for a while before the Florida sun heats it right up.

My laughs for the day

Everyday my girls do something that just makes me laugh. They are at such a great fun age. Somethings they say just blow me away. I am amazed at how smart they are. I try to remember every night the cute little things that they have said or done. I really should write these things down because then, when I go to blog them I sometimes forget. Here are some of them to give you a laugh for the day.....

To give you an intro into this story I will tell you the following: Here in Florida we have a huge problem with ants. They are everywhere. So when the girls eat their food sometimes they will drop some on the floor, like sandwiches, cheerios, stuff like that. So I tell them that we need to clean up the mess or else the ants will come and eat their food. The other day the girls where playing with their blocks and it was time to clean them up. I told them that we needed to clean them all up and Bailey, with a very serious look on her face says "momma we need to clean them up or else the ants will eat them". (who knows they might try)

A very dear friend of ours in our ward let us borrow a doll house that she has. She only has a son for now so it's not being used. The girls love it. It comes complete with furniture and dolls and babies and everything. It is wonderful. Well, on the fourth of July we were over at our Bishop's house for a party and Adam was chasing the girls up the stairs of the Bishop's house. In doing this he stubbed his toe and actually broke it. Instead of swearing, which probably would have happened if we were at our house, he just let out a huge cry of pain and carried on. So when we got home Bailey was playing with the dolls. She took the daddy doll and preceded to make him run up the stairs and said " oh ouch ahhhh my toe". Then she looked at Adam and said, "Daddy the daddy doll hurt his toe on the stairs". At that moment we looked at eachother and were so grateful that their wasn't a swear word that came in there somewhere.

The other night we were getting the girls ready for bed and I asked them which book they wanted to read. I proceeded to name a couple and Aislynn picked one that she liked. When I brought it down for her to take to our special reading spot she looked at the book and said, "um mamma we can't read this one, this book is not my special friend". I have no clue what this book did to her, but obviously she hasn't forgiven it yet.

For some reason lately the girls have really gotten into thinking that when they go poop it takes on some sort of shape. They are the ones that decided to do this together. Believe me, I really did not start this. So just to let you know big poops are daddy ones, little poops are babies. Well the other day Bailey went to the bathroom and she came out to me and said, "mom I went a lady bug poop". I had no idea what she meant and frankly I was very scared. So I went into the bathroom and looked in the toilet and lo and behold if her poop didn't look like a lady bug. I never thought as a parent that I would ever see shapes in the toilet caused by poop.

When I was at a Primary activity this Saturday Adam watched the girls for a couple of hours. When I came home he told me that while the girls where playing with the doll house they did something very funny. I guess one of the dolls did something very bad and Aislynn proceeded to say " You are not supposed to do that, that was very bad, you get to go to time out in the horsey house. The doll house comes with a horse stable and apparently that is a very good place for a time out.

There are so many more things that happen in our house everyday but of course I can't think of any right now, plus I need to make sure my house is still in tact. My girls make me laugh all the time. It is so wonderful. We are very blessed indeed.
