Family Photoshoot

Here are some pictures our wonderful friend Sara took. I made a super fast colloge so it cut off some but I wanted to get some posted. Thanks Sara. Your the greatest for doing this and putting up with our fun 2 year old. Families are such the greatest blessing. I look at these and can't help but get the chills and realize this is what life is all about. I love it. I am so thankful we get to be together forever. What a great promise.

Our Halloween Fun..Better Late than Never

So I am so behind on blogging. Life has been just a little bit crazy and busy at our house. Two kids is still a struggle for me but each day it gets easier as I learn what things are most important in the day. If I put those things first it seems I find time for other things.

Here is our little Cinderella. Taylor loves this movie and it makes me happy to see her getting more girly.

Yes we are lame parnets and didn't get Bridger a costume. That is what happens when you wait 4 days before Halloween to get costumes. You don't get much choice and sometimes you can't find anything and have to shop in the little girls toy dress up section. It works right. I figure now Taylor will have dress up clothes.

one month old

Our little man is already one month old. Time is fly by but I am enjoying every bit of it. Each day gets a little bit easier with two. Bridger has brought us so much joy!

A week without Daddy...What shall we do

This week Jaman has had board reviews. So therefore he leaves early and gets home really late. Most nights Taylor doesn't get to see him which has been breaking her heart and well we will say killing my sanity. Where is the break!!! AHHH!! The first two nights I found myself in tears. I really look forward to 5 when Jaman comes home and my load is lightened. Well these two nights it didn't happen and I quickly found myself down and a little crazy. SO....

I decided that I needed to change my attitude and make the best of this week. I could look at it as treasured one on one time with my kids. So I found this idea on a friends blog. I figured it was one Taylor could do so we made a treat together.

For anyone with small kids here is how it goes. Lay out pretzel squares on a cookie sheet. Place a hersey kiss or hug on top of the pretzel. (of course sneak a few in the mouth...mom won't notice) Bake in oven at 170 for 4-5 minutes. Remove and take an m&m place on top of kiss and press down the kisses. Then put in freezer for 10 + minutes to cool. I should have taken an after picture but we will just say life got a little crazy. They were pretty good. Most of all we had fun!!!

Life of a two year old.

Here are some funny things Taylor has been doing lately. Why did we get a double stroller when she insists on laying in the bottom basket......

Here is how Jaman found his shoes one morning. He laughed and insisted on taking a picture. Mr. Potato head obviously lost his arms....

Who needs toys when I love to empty cupboards and of course line them up and watch DORA!!

I love Brother he loves ME!

Taylor is loving Bridger more and more each day. She has became quite the little helper and always loves to give kisses. In the top picture she is sure of it that Bridger is giving her kisses.

An almost two year old tantrum

Outside having fun playing on the front porch.

My mom said it is time to come in.

My mom is the meanest. I didn't want to come in.

Ok, Mom I am done crying now. I just had to post this. Tantrums are quite the thing at our house lately. I am sure having a new baby and sharing attention hasn't helped. Most of the time I get frustrated during Taylor's tantrums but during this one she looked so cute so I had to take pictures. That way when she is older or is a mother herself dealing with this I can pull out these pictures and show her that she was the same way. Precious Moments that someday will pass. Gotta Love them.
