Time Flies...







So our little girl is a month old. What a depressing day it was but in a good way. Mima had one of her toys in the shed and brought it down for her. She likes it for about a minute (unless its dark) and thats all. Hey its a start. I remember Trista in it when Ryan put it together at Lamar & Teresa's :(
The girls wanted to go to the Twin Falls Temple again before it was closed to everyone so we decided to do it yesterday. So we meet Ryan in Twin and went through. Vanessa was more talkative then last time but it was Trista who blew our minds with the mature level of questions that she had. The lady that was taking us through held Natalia through the movie it was cute. Amazing how a baby makes people smile and so happy and brings people together. It was a great family activity and so much fun.
Ryan is loving the comments to him about being with all these girls with big blue eyes (yes Natalia's are dark blue just like Tristas).

2nd tooth


Well Vanessa finally lost her 2nd tooth. She is so excited. We still can't convince her to give it to the tooth fairy she insists on keeping it. Sadly our tooth fairy was sad to hear this news. So she keeps it hidden from him. :( Sad to see that she is one that will probley need braces her teeth are not coming in straight. She has seemed to carry on her dads trait and having teeth grow behind baby teeth instead of pushing them out. Well see how it goes over the years.

Registration School





Well Ryan and I definatly feel old. Vanessa will be in 2nd grade this year but what is a shocker is that I registered Trista for Pre-School on Tuesday. She is so excited. Vanessa had to go through the school and show her where the 2nd grade room was and all the toys outside, etc... it was cute. Time sure does fly. I can remember going through labor with her all to well. I'd have another labor with Natalia over Trista. ha-ha. But she is our fireball so it is to be expected.

Monday I took her to the doctor for a check-up and shots. We were lucky she knew the doctor so well because normally she freaks out with doctors. He was so great with her. We learned she has 20/20 vision which is great. I was surprised to learn Vanessa has taught her with her shapes. Some of the shapes I didn't think Trista would know but later she told me that her sister taught her. Made me proud of both of them. She did awesome with her shots until the last one that made her cry I knew it would hurt though. After she called her daddy and told him how the last one hurt we never heard her cry again. What a daddy's girl.

So Vanessa and Trista will start school on the 25th. They are both so excited. Trista is having a hard time getting the idea she can't wear her school clothes till school starts. I can't believe how much they have both grown over the summer. Their clothes from last spring don't fit. Trista is so picky about her clothes and its only pre-school what are we going to do when she gets older. She is sadly already a name brand kid. All I can say is her daddy is in trouble with that one. ha-ha

1 month old


We are so sad today. Our little angel Natalia is one month old today. I can't believe how slow the time was while I was pregnate and how the days were so slow and now she is here it is flying by. I wish she could stay this little. She is in my favorite stage I love the new baby stage. Can't believe it's been a month wow.

I'll have you know that we had our first bad night and day. Tuesday night and Wednesday were long. She had terrible tummy aches. I finally needed a break and took her for a walk to see Mima, Papa and Uncle Tyler and they played with her for awhile and mom got her to sleep so that was great. Ryan showed up not to long after with some gas drops for her. They were a miracle drop she slept awesome last night. She woke up once at like 5am. She has been so happy today it is great she is back to our angel today.

Vanessa T-Ball







Well we spent most all of June going to tball games and tball practices it was tiring but Vanessa really loved playing tball. Especially at the end when she got a trophy. Trista was lucky and spoiled. My cousin was the couch and Trista had helped in practice a couple of times and she even gave Trista a trophy talk about a couple of excited little girls. Sadly Ryan and I missed her last game because I was in the hospital of coarse for more tests. Thankfully my mom was there to cheer her on. She called and told me all about it they had a lot of fun.

Pioneer Day Parade







July 26 was our big pioneer day parade here in town and Vanessa was so excited she got to be a cheerleader. The high school cheerleaders worked with them and taught them a few dances. She had a lot of fun. Of coarse Trista hated the idea she didn't get to do it also but Vanessa convinced her to collect candy for them both. Which she did great at. It was also Natalia's first parade. She sure seemed to love being passed around by my family. It was a fun day seeing family and friends.

Twin Falls Temple Open House





























We had so much fun going to the Open House last week. We were able to take my mom and the girls were so excited to get to see the inside of the temple. Although now Vanessa is upset she is 1 1/2 months from being 8 and she can't go to the dedication. Shes so cute. Trista was the one who surprised me. They had stayed @ my moms the night before we went and she woke up and said "Mima we have to get Vanessa up and go to the temple." my mom laughed. She sure was into it. Vanessa was overwhelmed. They told me we had to go back and see it again before it closes so we'll have to do that. It was a fun trip. The pics of the girls holding Natalia was so funny because they fought over who was going to hold her. So we had to take lots of pics with each one holding her. She's not spoiled huh. :)
