Just being Girls

Bailey loves to dress up her ponies, her barbies, her animals, you name it. It is a very contemporary style. This pony is sporting baby spoons, some hair ties and just overall glamor. Can you tell??
Here is Cecely in her daily routine. She loves to find hats, clothes, diapers and just wear them. She loves to spin around and do a little fashion show with them. She wants to make sure you notice just how dang cute she really is. Here is is sporting a Winnie the Pooh knit hat. So fashionable for the upcoming fall season.
Now, for those of you who know Cecely, or were around her when she was born you know that she didn't have a lot of hair. It has taken her quite a long time to just grow the little bit she has now. We are very proud of it. She doesn't like bows or anything to be put in her hair. She will pull them out immediately. We decided to make her look like a troll doll. I was doing the older girls hair and she wanted to be a part of it. So this is her look. She was very proud and did her usual Cecely strut. Of course this hair do only lasted about 5 minutes and then it was pulled out and thrown on the floor.
Did I mention my kids love to play with swimmers and stick them on their head?? I think that is were Cecely got it from. Anything that can be put on will be played with at my house. And to think you spend all that money on actual dress ups when it is clear that a few swimmers do the trick very nicely.
My sweet Aislynn girl giving her pose. She is such a model. She loves the camera and will typically remind me of how I need to take her picture!! She is sporting her pool hat with a lovely floral gown!! Miss Aislynn you are going places!!

Sorry, it's been a while

Okay, so it's been a while since I have posted anything. We have been busy and there have been other things come up. Not much of an excuse, but here are some pics!! Cecely loves to get her little swimmers and put them on her head. She will model them and laugh at herself. She cracks herself up. This is her serious model pose. Look at that stare!!
Cecely loves to play dress ups with her sisters. This nightgown has gone through all three girls now. I love it. However, Cecely now has to have something like pants or shorts on her bottom when she takes naps and goes to bed because she has discovered the art of taking off her diaper. Oh yes, I have gone in to find very lovely messes in her crib due to this new finding.
Aislynn and Bailey playing dress ups. Aren't they just adorable. I love this age, of course it can be very trying as well. We love dress ups!
This is Aislynn's mad face. She wanted to make sure I took a picture of it. She has it down pat. She is my master of faces!@!
Here she is happy as can be!!

We are doing well. It's just been a busy month for us. I will try and post more pics later. The girls are growing so fast it is amazing!! They teach me so much. Bailey has proven to me my trying child. I love her to death, but she is so stubborn. She knows how to push my buttons. I have had to ask for lots of patience because lately I have felt like I was constantly getting on her case about things. I do not want to be that kind of parent. I know she doesn't like it and I don't either. My children are such a blessing to me though. I love them very much. I am in Young Women's. I love it. I love my Beehives. It gives me a glimpse of what my girls will be at that age. I love their energy and love for the gospel. Well, gotta run, more pics to come!!!

My laughs for the day!

My girls crack me up everyday. There is not a day that goes by that I am not laughing so hard that I am in tears over little things they say. They are getting to the point that they try and imitate little phrases that Adam or myself will say. Here are just a few of the things that make me laugh. I hope you enjoy!!!

Just to give you a little background info on this one. The girls were playing downstairs. They started arguing with eachother over some toy. When this happens I will take both of them aside and try and figure out what the problem is and the best way to solve it. We will then talk about how Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to be nice and love our family. So here is the conversation.....

Bailey: AISLYNN YOU GIVE THAT BACK TO ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!! ONE, TWO, THREE OKAY YOU ARE GOING INTO TIME OUT!!!

Aislynn: Bailey you need to be nice to me, Jesus is watching us (pointing to the picture of Jesus hanging on the wall)

Bailey: No, Aislynn that is a picture Jesus is in Heaven(pointing to the sky)

Aislynn: No Bailey, I saw his eyes move...(mom trying to not laugh out loud, because to them it was a very serious conversation)

Conversation #2\\

Bailey and I were laying on my bed one morning. She tends to get up before Aislynn. She will come in our room and lay in our bed with us. So her and I were talking.

Bailey: Mom what is that on your arm. Is that glue?

Mom: No love, mom cut herself so I put medicine on my arm that looks like glue to protect it.

Bailey: Oh, mom is that were Jesus glued you back together?(this was a very good lesson in itself, but I was trying not to laugh because she was very serious and it was very early in the morning)

Conversation #3

Cecely was down for a nap and so us older girls were playing babies. I was the babysitter and Aislynn and Bailey were the mom and dad.

Bailey: (handing me the baby) Mom can you take your eye out on my baby?

Mom: What?

Bailey: Can you take your eye out on my baby

Mom: Ohh, you mean can I keep an eye on your baby!!!

Conversation #4

It was early in the morning, Adam had just left for work. I was getting the girls breakfast. I still had on my PJ's. My girls are learning anatomy right now. They know of course that mommy has breasts. Well here is the conversation

Aislynn: Mommy what are those?

Mom: Those are mommy's breasts

Aislynn: No, I think those are pockets and you have belly buttons on the end of your pockets. ( I will let you all figure that one out on your own. I am not describing it on my blog:) )

They make me laugh. They are so special. It makes it so much easier to get through the day with little things like that. I hope you enjoy!!!

Is this really me??

You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Graduation!

The girls officially graduated from Preschool in May. They technically only went to Preschool from Feb to May. However, the really loved it. They learned so much from their teachers. I loved the fact that they had so many different subjects that they taught. One of the girls favorite was dance. They learned about Planets and Solar Systems. They grew seeds, and they learned that in order for them to grow they need sunshine and love. Mrs. Adrienne and Mrs. Jeralyn made them graduation outfits out of garbage bags and the hats were made out of paper plates and cups. It was so creative. This was Aislynn as she was walking in and taking her seat.
Here is Bailey walking in. They all went down in the basement while all of the parents waited upstairs. They got dressed and came up. The girls looked so cute.
Each of them got to come up and get a certificate. They also got to tell one of the things they learned in school that year. Aislynn said that she learned about planting seeds and that they need sunshine and love to grow. It was so cute. She has the tiniest little voice and she stood up there with such confidence and told about the planets and seeds and the author that she likes best. Each month they had a spotlight on a specific author. They would read this author's books all month. They would learn about him or her. She loves Eric Carle. We love these books too.
Bailey got up and of course she is much louder. She told everyone that she learned about the letter U and that it stood for Unicorn and Universe. She also told us that she learned about the stars and how beautiful they were. She did a great job as well. She loves Dr. Seuss books and also the movies.
Cecely would not leave the girls alone during the ceremony. She kept walking up to them and pulling on their tassels and laughing and wanting to be a part of everything. She of course wants to be just like her sissies. Overall it was a great Graduation. The girls had great food afterwards and we got to go down stairs and see all of their artwork and projects. I am so grateful for such wonderful teachers. I am sad that they won't be teaching school again next year. I will have to find something else for the girls to do . Even for the short period of time they were there it was such a great experience. Mrs. Adrienne told me that she loved my girls. They were so well behaved and had such great manners and were so smart. I am so grateful for my girls. They are so big and smart. They have such big hearts.

Some Birthday Pics

Adam and I have started making this cute little knitted hats. They are really easy and so cute. I do not think of myself as a "craftsey" person, but these are so easy. They are done on what looks like a loom with little pegs on it. They come in all sizes. I tried one that I made for toddlers on Cecely. She is quite the little gerber model.
This is one of the girls friends. Hannah is six but she loves to come over for play dates with the girls. She is really good to them and was in the same school. She is also in Primary with the girls. She was invited to the Birthday parties.
Cecely's first taste of cake. She loved it. She isn't picky or shy when it comes to eating. She ate everything. She was saying "mmmmm" the whole time. She was such a mess!!!
Here she was opening presents. She of course loved the wrapping paper and bows more than the actual present. I love that age!!!
Here is how happy she was with all of her gifts. If she could say Hallelujah I think she would. The girls had a great time. I have more pics to post. It was such a good birthday party for them. We decided to do a theme birthday every even year and a family birthday on the odd years. Themed birthday parties are expensive, but fun. Family birthday's are fun and great for the girls. It is really hot here but we are surviving. We are enjoying being so close to family. It's so nice. Adam had a great Father's Day. I made him a special breakfast and dinner. It is really hard because our church is over at 4:30. He got to sleep in and the girls each made him a card and I wrote on it why daddies are special. Bailey drew a picture of a ghost and a daddy. She said Daddies are special because they chase away the ghosts. Aislynn drew a picture of a rocket and space and said that Daddies are special because her daddy always shows her the starts at night. Cecely, well I guessed for her. She pretty much loves her daddy for anything he does.

The Accident

Yes, this is blood. For all of you that are a little squeamish, this may not be the greatest post for you. Bailey and Aislynn decided that they were going to play grandma and grand daughter. Grand daughter, who was Aislynn decided that she wanted a snack. So, Grandma being Bailey decided to get her one. They both decided to cut an apple together. This was on a Saturday and Adam was in the garage cleaning out the van. They had previously been playing outside with Adam in the garage. I was upstairs sorting through winter clothes and putting them away. I told Adam that if the girls decided to come in, he needed to tell me because I cannot hear them when I am upstairs. Well, the girls decided to come in, Adam told them to go upstairs and tell Mom that you are playing inside now. They decided to bypass that order and decided to go right for the fun stuff. All of a sudden I hear Bailey screaming. I run downstairs to find my entire kitchen covered in blood. Now, when I say my entire kitchen I mean my entire kitchen. This is only a portion of my tile in my kitchen. Imagine every single tile covered like this. I had it on the walls, the appliances, cabinets, table and chairs everywhere. When I walked downstairs into the kitchen it looked like a scene from CSI. Bailey was screaming that Aislynn had cut her. I had no clue where she was cut. She was covered in blood. I run and get Adam and we both start to access the damages. Aislynn was screaming her head off as well. She was also covered in blood. I think she thought she was hurt because of all the blood on her dress and skin.

I took Aislynn into the living room and started washing her off and Adam was trying to find where Bailey had been cut. It turns out it was her pointer finger on her left hand right below the first digit. I had no clue fingers could bleed that much. When she got cut she started swinging her hand around trying to get the blood off of her and ended up slinging it everywhere. I am still finding blood spots to this day. We cleaned up her finger, I thought it needed stitches, Adam decided that no it did not so we just bandaged it up ourselves. We decided that since this happened in the evening we would look at it in the morning and reassess everything. We called a friend of ours in the ward and he came over and helped Adam give her a blessing. Then next morning came and we took the bandage off, and yes she needed stitches. So Adam took her to the ER and I stayed home with the other girls. Bailey was a trooper. Such a brave girl. They gave her two stitches and let her choose a toy from the toy closet.
This is what it looked like when she came home with her stitches in. She was very proud of her war wounds.
Here is another picture. She told me everything they did to her in the Hospital. She knew she had been very brave.
She loved her fishy band aid they had her wear.
Aislynn missed Bailey so much when she was gone getting her stitches. She just moped around the house and kept asking for her. She was so nice to her sissy when she came home. This is about an hour later. Aislynn didn't want to let Bailey out of her sight. She had the stitches in for nine days. Everything went fine. She had a nice scar now on that finger. She will never play with knives again that is for sure. Every time she sees me cutting something she has to remind me that I need to be very careful. It was an event that I really don't ever want to have to repeat. You always know as a mother there will be something that will happen like that someday. I am done with mine. NO MORE!!

We are doing well and staying busy. The girls are done with Preschool now. It was very sad because their teacher is moving so they won't be doing Preschool with her now. I need to find another alternative. I loved both of their teachers so much. I have been called to the Young Women's. I am the Beehive Advisor. I am still technically teaching Sunbeams until they find a replacement. I love it though!! It is so different to be in YW. I have been in Primary for so long. I will miss my Primary kids though. I love Primary. Adam is still working very hard at work and church. He is in the Activities Committee. He loves hanging out with his girls. I have lots of pics to post. Aislynn and Cecely's birthdays were great. I still can't believe how big they are getting. We love and miss friends and family. Thank you to everyone who reads our blog. I am sorry it's taken me so long to post. I get in those moods sometimes where I put in on the back burner for a little bit. More posts and pics to come I promise!!!!

Happy Birthday Aislynn!!!

Aislynn, I cannot believe that it has been four years since you came to our family. You have blessed our lives so much and I cannot believe how my heart feels about you my precious child. From the day you were born you have been such a happy girl. Always smiling, always laughing. You constantly try to make everyone happy and that makes you happy. You are so good to your sisters. You are such a good little example, even at your young age. I remember the day we found out we were getting you. Your birth mother Julie had chosen us out of so many couples that were so deserving of a miracle like you. From that day our lives have changed and been so blessed. I cannot picture life without you my little princess. You have such a special place in my heart. I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for you. These years have passed so quickly. I know that they will continue to do so. I love you my sweet angel. You have given your whole family such joy. We are so thankful for your birth mother. Not a day goes by that I do not think about her. Such a selfless sacrifice. So much love in her heart for a family she didn't even know. We love you Julie. Where ever you may be. The gift you have given us is the most unselfish gift of love. Thank you for our sweet Aislynn. I am so grateful for prayers, for a loving Heavenly Father who answers them, and for open hearts that hear his answers no matter how hard or how much sacrifice the answer may be or take. We love you Aislynn!!!

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!

Random things

Our family decided to take a Sunday drive to the mountains. We really don't live that far away from them. It is actually very beautiful. I missed the mountains so much when we lived in Florida. This is the road going up to Mt. Lemmon. As a young woman we had our girls camp up here. I have very fond memories of this mountain. When Adam and I were newly married we would go up to the little mountain town called Summerhaven. They have wonderful shops and great little restaurants. In the summer it's a great retreat from the heat.
We have had quite a bit of water this year. This is quite the rare sight. It was beautiful though to see all of this beautiful landscape and all of the wonderful water.
Here is another view.
On another note, Cecely has decided that she needs to follow her sister's around everywhere. Especially if they have food. If anyone has food she will be over to you in a second begging for food. The girls are very patient with her. If she is not trying to get food, she is trying to get a toy or hair or something else they may have.

This is often her cute little face begging for food or whatever it is that she wants. If she doesn't think that face is working she will start grabbing and grunting and then it turns into straight out yelling. Oh yes, she knows how to get what she wants. It's survival of the fittest. My girls are so dang cute though. How lucky I am to see them grow. The girls got haircuts so I will post some pics of those later. Hope everyone enjoys their day!!!
