Trista's Funny Comments

So as we drive over this bridge in Twin Falls to home so much I never stopped to think what could be going through our 4 year olds head. I was on the way home from a day in Twin with my mom and girls and out of the blue Vanessa asks how they made the bridge. Well before I could answer Trista pipes up and says "they build the bridge then they dug the hole." I couldn't quit laughing it was so funny that she thought they dug the big canyon haha. I explained things to her but we'll see if she catches on lol. Kids say the darndest things. lol.

more pictures

Well I have more just odd pictures that I had on my camera that I have added hope that you enjoy...

From Ryan's Phone

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving we did dinner was amazing. It was a long day for some of us as Natalia, my dad and I went and got Tyler at the airport on Thurs. then we made the trip again on Saturday to take him back (boise). It was a lot of fun and had a great time with family. My mom made me cherry pie for the first time, since I have started loving cherry pie being pregnate with Natalia...she did an awesome job at it. Natalia so loved all the food. She is an animal when it comes to eating...she loved all the attention as did all the other girls. 

So I got looking on Ryan's computer and wow look at all these neat pictures I found that he has been hiding from me haha. He probley told me they were on there but I forgot haha. So there is just a big combination of pictures to follow hope that you enjoy them. 

This is me with Natalia the day she was born (in July) what a proud mommy I was to finally have our family complete.

ya this is me don't I look thrilled. This is about a week before having her...she had flipped and they wanted to flip her back around...ya its like 6am not a morning person. 

Girls at the Canyon in Twin with the bridge in the back...Mima and I were shopping so dad took them over there...I hate heights and saw it one to many times haha

4 month doc appt

So yesterday was the big shot day for 2 girls. Trista was tough and got hers done fast but she was good because she knew she got to pick where we ate lunch afterwards. She weighs a big 40 pounds. She isn't feeling to great after her shots either poor thing.

Natalia had her 4 month appointment. So sad how fast she is getting. It was funny when the doctor was trying to check her tummy she wouldn't quit curling in a ball to play with her toes, which she loves so much. He was blown away at how huge she is since she is only a couple days of being 4 months. She was 15.2 pounds which was in the 88%. She is one solid little girl. Her length is what blows us all away she is 26 1/4 " long (started at 20 1/2) she is way off the charts in that department. Doc says I must have some amazing milk haha. So proud to say she is doing wonderful and everything is perfect with her. Besides not feeling good right now after her shots. She is one happy little girl. She went out with me today to help Ryan in the horse corral and our horse Sage always seems to want to investigate her its so funny she can't figure out what Natalia is its so cute. 

Big Eater

Well Natalia decided she needed to be big because she wanted food. She was getting so mad when we would eat and not share with her. She took right to eating no problems at all. She now gets mad if she doesn't eat. I think Ryan and the girls are enjoying taste testing her food as much. I think its all grose but thats me.

This is what she thought of cereal...she hated it even when I mixed it with other things.

this is her eating applesauce which she loved but so not as much as she did carrots.
