My Crazy Life


Yes we are still alive. We have been so busy and sometimes blogging seems like a huge mountain that I can't tackle or rather going through the hundreds of photos seems too much at the moment. Well not much has changed in our lives, Jeremy is still looking for work and the girls are still a handful and getting into everything. They have now mastered the art of crawling and pulling themselves up to things. It is a hard phase to go through with all of the falls.

In the last 2 months of the summer we seemed to have spent more time in the car traveling then at home. We went to Montana twice and then to Idaho, Eastern Washington and the coast. The girls did really good. The worst trip was coming home from the wedding in Montana. The girls both had bad colds and I got the stomach flu so we had an enjoyable trip home where we all, except Jeremy, slept most of the way home.


Jeremy's brother got married in Montana and this is us at the reception. I am sporting my new hair color which is pretty close to my natural color. Everyone says I look exactly like Marissa now.

I always love their fresh from the bath look. Jeremy thought Ashley would look good with a Mohawk.

I had to show Ashley's curly hair. I just put a little lotion in her hair and fluff it and it curls. This is her new look for church.

The girls are feeding themselves so good. Sierra ate her food for awhile without noticing the cheerio stuck to the end of her nose. I can't see why they like cheerios so much.

I love these jean dresses.

Another picture of them in their Sunday dresses. These dresses are getting scandalously high, but they are so cute I had to put them in them for one last time.

The girls love to help fold laundry. They pull the clothes out of the basket and I quickly try to fold them before they are all on the floor. Jeremy gave Ashley a special hat to help out with. It is the bloomers for one of her dresses.

This is us in Idaho. This was their first time wearing their bathing suits. They are pretty picky about the water they will swim in, it needs to be about bath temperature. Luckily there is a heated pool fed by hot springs in Garden Valley. In the picture is my mom and Aubrey, my nanny. She came to Idaho with me to help out with the girls. She was wonderful. We had such a blast seeing the shows. I now have a new favorite show, it is the musical "The Scarlet Pimpernel". The music is so beautiful. We stayed an extra day just to see it for the second time.

The girls are so fun to watch. They are always sitting on each other, crawling over each other and stealing each others toys. Sierra has started sticking her finger in Ashley's mouth for her to suck on. Ashley will come over while I am changing Sierra's diaper on the couch and watch and suck Sierra's finger. It is hilarious.

When I get the clean clothes from the dryer one of the girls is usually helping me, so I put them in the basket and load up the clothes. Then they get to ride in the laundry express.
