Preschool!

Masen started preschool last week. He loves it and I love the break! He does pretty good except he covers his ears when everyone sings and tells them "it hurts my ears" and Wednesday he punched the teacher in the nose! Hopefully this week he'll behave a little better. 

Heres some pictures of my naughty little school boy!

Cocktail Hat

So last night I stayed up ridiculously late making Alayna a super cute cocktail hat! I love how it looks so vintage and classic! Now she just needs some gloves and pearls!

Check out those blue eyes!

You are six months going on seven months....

So I think were over due for an update!

Masen has been taking swimming lessons at the high school. He does okay, I think he has a hard time listening to the teachers sometimes but he seems to enjoy it. Its only for like an hour a day and they show him how to kick his legs and use "ice cream scoops" to paddle the water and to float on his back. If nothing else at least he gets out of the house and play in the pool. We've also have been to the lake a few times but the water is super cold.

Jeremy has just started working nights again which makes the nights scary and the days quiet and lonely while he sleeps. I'm working at the store again so we can bring in some extra money but I hate being away from my babies. But I think we got it worked out pretty good so we've only had to find a babysitter a few times.

AND guess what?? Were in the process of buying our first home! We are just waiting for it to close which should be hopefully sometime next month. If all goes well we will be going from our little two bedroom one bathroom to a four bedroom two bathroom before the end of summer! Yay!

Alayna is almost seven months! She rolls all over the place so no more leaving her on the couch alone. She can sit for like 3-5 minutes on her own until she reaches for something and falls over. Shes not quite crawling, when shes on her belly and sees something she wants she balances on her tummy and kicks her legs and arms and gets so excited! Alayna also has her first tooth pushing through on her bottom gums.

Here is some more pictures of our summer fun........

My baby can move!!

Yes Alayna has finally learned to roll over! Who would of thought I could get so exsided over something so simple! Next on to crawling...yeah right! Alayna is VERY layed back. Shes not a hyper or bouncy baby, she likes to sit and watch. I think she'll learn to crawl when shes ready. The other day I had her in her jumpy thingy and she actually jumped a little for once! I love her so much shes sooo sweet!

Today I'm taking Masen to get tested for preschool. I hope he gets in but theres a lot of kids testing so we'll see. If he doesnt get in it'll be fine he has his whole life to go school but I would love the three hour break! and I bet Masen would like being with the kids. He already has his backpack packed and is bugging me about when were gonna go!

Family Adventure!

Last week for one of Jeremy's days off we decided to drive up to Prescott to check out a gun shop. Jeremy wanted to check it out and I just wanted to spend time with him so we loaded up the babies and took off. We drove through Clarkdale and Jerome on the way there and Jerome was crazy! Theres just one small road hugging the edge of a mountain and then theres houses actually built on the hill sides! They had a cute down town area that was cramped, I don't know how they built anything up there it just blows my mind! I wanted to stop and walk around but we got a late start and Jeremy was getting frustrated at my navagation skills. But we think that this summer for our anniverisery we might go back for a night and check it out. I've never been to Prescott and it looked just as fun to explore. We defiently have to go back. We found the gun shop by some miracle because Jeremy decided I lost the map he printed out before we left (when we got home it was on the computer desk, silly Daddy!) So while Jeremy played in the gun shop the kids and me walked to the feedstore next door to check out the baby chickens.

 We went through Willams on the way back and I taked Jeremy into stopping at the.... Deer Farm!! Masen got to feed the deer and had a blast! The deer would just surround you and follow you around. The lady that worked there was surprised that Masen wasn't scared. Sometimes he would just get lost in a crowd of deer. It was so much fun!

Masen was even able to feed the camel Gracie some carrots!

Raindeer!

Easter!

We had Easter this year with my cousins who live in our apparment complex. Its so nice having them so close, Masen and Toddie play together all day long! So me and Marlana got the boys togther and they decorated eggs. This was our first time EVER making hard boiled eggs so half way through decorating one of the boys dropped one and we discovered it was only half way done! Yucky! So half are eggs were undercooked but we just let the boys dye them anyway and thew them out after the hunt.

On Easter Masen woke up and told me he heard the bunny on the roof while he was sleeping.He found his basket which was full of goodies, including waterballoons and toothbrushes! We sent the boys to find easter eggs in the "driveway" and we had dinner together with our parents and this was also my first time ever cooking a ham but dont worry it came precooked!

 Every girl needs a pretty easter dress!

Alayna's first taste of cereal...

We've started feeding Alayna baby foods a whille back and I've been meaning to post this pictures because they are soooo cute!Better late than never right.....! She has also tryed green beans, bannanas and peas now too. I've been making it myself even though one of my LAME friends told me that "its too much work and its just as easy to buy the baby food jars" That is not true! The baby food jars are like $.50 each and you can get a whole thingy of carrots for like a dollar and it makes a ton of babyfood and you just cook it and thow it in a blender, it takes like five minutes and no preserivtives and its kinda fun. I hate people like that!!! Grr!!! Okay moving on!


And guess who started riding his bike without training wheels??? Yes, I know, I have the most awesomest three year old ever!! Masen amazes me everyday! I think I was at least five when I learned to ride a bike but I'm not too cordanated....And Masen has only had that bike for a few months! He has only had a few wipe outs. I'll post some pictures soon I promise. The kids were over last night and Waylon kinda broke Masen's seat so Masen needs a new seat. I told Jeremy we should just get him a real bike that doesnt have plastic tires but we'll see.
Well heres Alayna.......
First taste of rice cereal and Milk

Here we go!

What was that!?!!!

She hates it.

Daddy saved me!
