Pregnancy tip #1.

I found some pregnancy tips that I REALLY wish I would have had when I was pregnant. Here is tip #1.You Know sometimes pizza just doesn't hit the spot...

Hanging Out.

(Hanging out on Atticus' bed.)

(Showing how strong she is.)

Yesterday Atticus and Harper were having a great time playing (Harper just watching, and holding cars.) in Atticus' room. Atticus had fun showing her all of his hot wheels (he has MANY) and different toys that he loves! She was wide eyed and was "talking" a lot. She is growing so fast and it will only be a matter of time before she will be able to really play with him. <3!



On Monday Atticus went to the movies without Keith and I for the first time. He got to be one of the big kids and went with Aubreana, Austin, and Grandma to see Kung Fu Panda. He had an awesome time! Thanks Mom for inviting him. Every picture I tried to take of them Atticus would not stop moving so the one above is the best one.

Crazy dog!

So, I wasn't sure I was going to share this story...but I couldn't resist. It all started a few weekends ago when we were at my parents house. We were all outside when Bella(see picture above) saw that 3 of my parents neighbors chickens came into the back of their yard. What does she do? Run after them...and nobody noticed until she had one pinned to the ground. Allison(my little sister) takes off to try and get her. The back of my parents yard is like 10 or more feet from where we were. She can't get Bella so for some reason I think I can run and get her, even though I was 4 weeks postpartum and had a C-section no less, crazy? I know. So, I am trying to get Bella and she is still trying to get the chickens who are still in the yard(dumb chickens) when I yell to Allison to throw the chickens back over the fence. This is where we discover Allison's phobia of chickens...what? Thats where it starts to get funny, even though watching us was most likely the funniest part.
Long story short my dad runs over and FINALLY Bella is captured. By this time the chickens are huddled by the back fence, and one of them thought it could fit through the fence so one chicken is stuck in the fence. I wish I had a picture of that! My dad pulled it out and threw all of the chickens back over the fence. None of them died thank goodness.
Maybe this was only funny to me but I thought I would share. This goes on the list of things I never thought I would be doing since where I grew up (Orange, CA) there were no neighbors with chickens, cows, sheep, or horses. Maybe I will post that list this week...maybe.




Before all of the madness Allison, Austin, Jayden, and Atticus were launching water balloons with a launcher.

Just some pictures...

These were taken yesterday June 22. Enjoy! <3.

Phone call.

Harper got a phone call the other day and...

it really pissed her off!

**Note: Harper is not screaming in the photo, she is yawning.**

Happy Fathers Day!

(With his present,LEGO Indianan Jones.)

(mowing the backyard.)

(Rockin out with his band, The Robots Guide to Living)

How does that primary song go? " I'm so glad when daddy comes home glad as I can be." This is how Atticus feels when Keith gets home. They have this game that they play, when Atticus hears the garage door open he runs to find a hiding place. Keith comes in and says "where is Atticus" in a loud voice and continues until he finds Atticus and tickles him.He then comes and gives Harper and I kisses.
Keith is such an awesome dad and husband! He does so much for our family, and we love him for that! My life changed for the better 5 years ago when we met and has continued to get better! Thanks for all you do! We love you Keith!

PS: Happy Fathers day to my awesome Dad,and my brother-in-laws Marc, John, and Frank!

Atticus and Harper love the grass.

Just a few pictures from this evening. Look at how cute my kids are!! You are jealous admit it already...haha. Enjoy! <3

(This is one of my favs.)

(Atticus with his super fake smile, and Harper looking bored.)

(SO CUTE!)

(The Woody hat made it that much cuter.)

(I love this one...Atticus is giving Harper some advice. haha.)

.

Yay, new hair for Mommy!

(See new hair.)

(I really like the colors!)

(Yay, for my new cut and color!)

So, in the spirit of everyone in our house cutting their hair I too got to jump on the band wagon! Thanks to my sister Amber I got to get my hair done by the very talented Amanda. I love that Amber does laser hair removal and likes to trade with people in other profession thank you Amber!
PS: I haven't had bangs since like 7th grade!

ZZZzzz.

(So Sweet!)

(Atticus really fell asleep like this,Woody hat and all!)

A lot of eating + a lot of sleeping = growing kids.
Growing kids + a lot of sleeping = a happy almost well rested mommy.

1month old!

As of yesterday Harper is a month old...yay! She has changed so much already. She weighs in at 9lbs 13oz. She is getting two bottom teeth, holds her head up for long periods of time, loves the shower, likes getting kisses from her brother,and being outside. She is so sweet and we love her so much! Also on Monday I buzzed Atticus and Keiths hair. I have two videos to post but they were taking ten years to upload. Here are some pictures though.

(sweet girl!)
