Happy Birthday Jaiden!!!

Jaiden is now 1 year old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. Here is a little update about Jaiden.
~ she has 1 tooth. Yes, only one and she has had it for over a month. I think that's weird :)
~ she has taken a few steps
~ she can say mine (mea) and hello (hao) along with the normal momma and daddy
~ she is a little copy cat lately. she likes to copy anything and everything Abby does or we do
~ she loves hugs and kisses from us and to give them back to us or stuffed animals, whichever is closer :D
~ and she is our little snuggle bug. She absolutley loves to put her two fingers in her mouth and lay her head on us (or stuffed animal)

I will post picture later.

Give Hope to Benson and Claire

This story breaks my heart. Visit givehopetobensonandclaire.blogspot.com. They are having an online auction to help this family and it ends Nov. 16. Look at the stuff and maybe you will find Christmas presents while also helping this family out. There are some really cute things on it.

Just too cute

I just wanted to put this picture up because it's so cute. For some reason she loves to sit in that little hole and play.

Halloween

I know, I know. Halloween was a week ago and it's old news but I still want to put pictures of my kids on here in their costumes. Abby, of course, wanted to be a princess and since Jaiden really didn't care, she got to be a kitty cat. Friday we went to the Carnival in Terreton mostly so Abby could be there with her cousins and then we went to the Hamer Carnival because that's Abby's future school so we needed to show them support. (when I say 'we' I mean 'me and the girls', Tyrel had a scout campout) Saturday we (Tyrel and I) only took poor Abby trick or treating to the Mud Lake store. DON'T JUDGE US, she was still high on candy from the carnivals and we were really tired but needed some groceries. :) I promise, we will take her next year to more places than just the store. She was thrilled to just wear her princess dress again anyway.

The Things I'm Thankful for Today

1. A healthy Family.
2. A husband that loves me and his kids enough to feel guilty about going on his "man" trip.
3. The nice lady at Arby's who asked if I needed help while I was struggling to carry Jaiden and my tray while at the same time keeping track of Abby and dragging a high chair over to the booth and when I told her I was okay, she helped me anyway.
4. The sales people in the mall who said my kids were adorable even though one of my kids was running around knocking the clothes of the shelves (I did not think it was adorable!!!)
5. Abby's dance teacher who has SOOOOO much patience with the 3 years olds that don't listen!!
6. That Abby isn't the only girl in dance class with a short attention span. :)
