Family Discussions

We have all been debating whether Hattie looks just like Mariah.
In some pictures they definitely look like each other . . .
but I think they just look like sisters.

A little on Hattie. . . she is the sweetest baby ever.
Seriously she kills me.
She has started to make some noises and
her little voice is just so sweet.
We love her to pieces!

Anyway you be the judge . . . are they twins?
. . . Or just sisters.

(baby Hattie)

(baby Mariah)

Oh and P.S.

Mariah has been doing so good having a baby sister!

She is such a good helper, and calls Hattie "Baby sister Hattie"

And when she talks to her sometimes she calls her "Honey".

It is really cute.

The New Girl

This show looks kind of funny.
Mostly when she does the cute guy alert.
Maybe I will start watching it while we still have cable.

Also I really enjoy this clip from How I Met Your Mother . . .
When Barney is Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.

Woo Hoo!

So it has been 5 weeks since I last posted.

Honestly life is quite boring for us right now.

Oh wait . . . just kidding.

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE

We are so excited! It is basically right where we wanted to be
and was pretty much move in ready. We have not made the transition yet,

but we will be moving-in in the next couple weeks. There were a few minor

things we wanted to do and a couple furniture projects we (I) want to get done.

I feel so helpless though because I am not really supposed to paint since I am

pregnant, but I keep thinking of all these great ideas we could do. Then I remember

WE = Thomas and he has work and school like everyday.

So anyway that is what is going on with us right now . . . oh and I am in my

3rd trimester, no big deal. I will post pictures of the house next time. But

here is one just to hold you over. . . its not terribly flattering for the house,

but you get the idea.

(ps if you ever need a house. . . Eric Dixon is the man to call)

22 Weeks

I cannot believe I am 22 weeks along already.

It is literally insane.

We found whether I would get to start making

cute headbands, or whether I would be able to start...well I don't know

what you do to get ready for boys.

And guess what?

. . .

It's A Boy!

It has taken me a while to come to terms with it...ha ha.
No I am joking, but I was surprised for some reason.

I honestly thought I was having a girl.

Mother's intuition...what's that?

Anyway I have bought him a few things that crack me up.

(like these jammies found at target)
It is kind of fun because you can be more ridiculous with boys

I think, and they will still be cute. Maybe I am just telling myself that.

I wanted to buy this as a joke because I wanted to see how Thomas would react
But it was too much moola to spend for him not to wear it. So I took a picture instead.

Anyway I am really excited for this little guy to come.

He has had so many cousins born this year,

and I am so excited for them to be little best friends!

Happy Fourth!

I know this is a couple days late, but happy 4th of July!

In case you didn't know, the Fourth is my favorite holiday.

We got to go to Sierra Vista and visit the Clawsons

(Eloise, Mike, Kimber, Lance, Chelsea, Brodie, and Jett.)

It was so fun being with the family!
We went to Bisbee to watch the boxcar races,

Pizza Hut for an all you can eat buffet of pizza, pasta, salad, and cinnamon sticks,

and just hung out watching The Sandlot and playing games.

I picked up the guitar and jammed for the first time in a while,

and remembered how much I love it.

We drove home on the 4th because I had school the next day.

I was pretty bummed out that we had to go,

but it made it a little better seeing parts of firework shows from the road.

Basically life is good, everyone was safe and happy and free.

I am so grateful to live in the United States of America!
