Growing too fast!

Troy as of tomorrow is 4 months old! We got to sneak in 2 days early for his check up. He weighs a wopping 16 pounds 5 ounces! WOW! He's in the 97 percentile. Pretty inpressive for being a premie. It's hard to believe considering that it was so tough to get Hailey to gain any weight. The Doctor asked me if I was feeding him anything else, "Nope just breast milk!" He's pretty serious when it comes to eating. He also has kind of been sucking his thumb although he's not real consistant with it but I think it's pretty cute. The Doctor also noticed that his gums were a little puffy and come to think he has been drooling a lot, uh oh, I hope he's still a little ways away from teeth!

Halloween Party!

Hailey and Troy Together!

Hailey as Abby Cadabby.

Troy my little pumkin!

Our ward had a Halloween party and so we got to dress up early! Hailey had a few firsts, first time wearing make up and first time we curled her hair! I loved it so much I'm wondering why I don't try to curl it more often. She does have a hard time sitting still! I think the pumkin idea was perfect for Troy. Oh and I realized at the end of the day that I had put on hailey's wings upside down. oh well. Hailey was a little disapointed that she couldn't fly with her wings. She kept saying put on my wings so that I can fly! It was pretty cute!

Birthday fun!

We had my family over on Monday for dinner and cupcakes! So fun! didn't get a picture of Karl and Leslie!

Hailey's working on her technique to blow out the candles, which she did about ten times and kept saying more. My good friend Kimberly sent my this flower cake, your awesome Kim!

I'm showing Hailey the technique, which I should add it worked quite well!

Yummy breakfast Josh made! What a sweetie!

I had a great day on my birthday! Josh got up early, went to the store and bought food to make breakfast. He also had the kitchen all cleaned up for me, it was an awesome surprise. My friends Ashley and April also stopped by for a minute, how fun! I also enjoyed talking to my wonderful grandparents that called and Katie! We also got to celebrate with the Hakes last Sunday, with the other October birthdays! My Mother-in-law made a super yummy carrot cake for my Birthday that really hit the spot! (She also made a cake for Carrie so there was a lot of cake!) Thanks everyone!!

corn maze, Take 2!

I just love this picture of Hailey with my mom! This picture of me and Troy not so awesome but at least you can see we were there!

Luckily we got to go to the corn maze again, with my mom's school for a field trip! I'm still sad about the pictures I deleted but I also got some cute new ones! This is us on the hayride! Troy especially loved it, he fell asleep on the way back!

Another first

On Tuesday Troy rolled over for the first time and I happened to have my camera right there so I snapped a couple of pictures and I was so excited that I had captured that moment. Then that night I accidentally deleted all my pictures, scroll down for the complete story. So today I was hoping to get some new cute pictures of Troy and he immediately did another roll for me, in slow motion, so my not so awesome camera could catch the whole thing. I was super excited! Thanks Troy! I think I'd also like a camera upgrade! Any reccomendations?

Hailey's Slide!

I've been looking for one of these for the longest time! I've been trying to find a good deal on Craig's list but the ones that I had been finding were not quite what I wanted and usually gone super fast. So when I saw this one and it had just been posted I jumped all over it! It was exactly the one I had wanted. I feel like I paid probably a little more then I would have liked too but I still feel like I got a good deal. These retail for $499 and then there's $125 in shipping, not to mention the taxes so I'm feeling pretty good about it! Anyway Hailey loves it and just talks about it non stop. She says things like only Haileys can slide on it although she's willing to share with friends but it's not for mommys. These are some of the pictures I deleted that I was trying to make up and I think I got some cute ones.

Stupid move!

So I was preparing to do a new post of some things we did this weekend. Including the Corn Maze this weekend. I accidently deleted every single picture on my camera. I can't believe I did that, I could just cry. I got some of the cutest pictures of Troy today too. Luckily most of the pictures that I had on my camera I also had on my computer so at least I didn't lose that much. I'm still pretty upset with myself though cuz I'm pretty sure we won't be going back out to the corn maze with Josh. I probably won't ever attempt to delete a picture ever again, I'll just have a bunch on my camera. :(

Fun project! No sew TUTU!

Okay so as you can probably gather I usually have a project or two or three in mind or in progress all the time. This idea came from my friend April. If you like to do one too here is the link to her blog for the tutorial. http://craftsformykids.blogspot.com/ I loved this project and the tutu turned out so cute!! It's super easy and fun! I was honestly excited the whole time I was working on it. (You know some projects you feel like can I just get this over with already, not this one.) Thanks again April!! These pictures don't do it justice and my two-year-old was have a tough time cooperating as you can probably tell. We are going to use it as part of her Halloween costume. More on that later. I just snapped some quick pics from my phone that why there not the best quality, that along with her not holding still for a second.
