A few months back her dentist told me her bottom teeth were a little loose and even though its a little early its okay. Well, Eleanor was eating a piece of pumpkin pie and hit her tooth with the fork and knocked it really loose. She wiggled it with her tooth for a day but would not let anyone touch it in fear of pain. While at preschool Eleanor took a bite of an apple and felt something in her mouth. She pulled it out and asked her teacher what it was. Her teacher looked at it and told her she just lost her tooth! Eleanor was beyond excited when I picked her up from preschool!<br /><br />She wanted me to write a note to the tooth fairy asking her if she can keep her tooth so she can make a necklace with it. So, we put her tooth under her pillow with the note. At 4:45 am Eleanor discovered that she got a visit from the tooth fairy! Under her pillow was the little baggy her tooth was in and inside it was a note and a key from the tooth fairy. We looked around her room and found a tiny fairy door inside her closet. When she opened the little door she found a 2 dollar bill covered in fairy dust. It was so much fun watching Eleanor's excitement.<br /><br />When I tried taking her photo she would not have it! She didn't think her hair looked good so she put on a hat. Oh that girl!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8AAcjvCt-SU/TtzxftOMIpI/AAAAAAAAF2M/j9I0shkeD-k/s1600/fairydoor1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8AAcjvCt-SU/TtzxftOMIpI/AAAAAAAAF2M/j9I0shkeD-k/s400/fairydoor1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682682356852073106" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_cfW0pKiBNc/Ttzx9eqFPvI/AAAAAAAAF2w/I0czYp8eFRQ/s1600/toothfairy_120111_0045.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_cfW0pKiBNc/Ttzx9eqFPvI/AAAAAAAAF2w/I0czYp8eFRQ/s400/toothfairy_120111_0045.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682682868338605810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b4i6OyOSHjA/Ttzx25_imcI/AAAAAAAAF2k/yoMl-xVZeyo/s1600/toothfairy_120111_0030.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b4i6OyOSHjA/Ttzx25_imcI/AAAAAAAAF2k/yoMl-xVZeyo/s400/toothfairy_120111_0030.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682682755417283010" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L3NRBgyRspw/Ttzxsh3HFHI/AAAAAAAAF2Y/dmScsV9lZRo/s1600/toothfairy_120111_0056.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L3NRBgyRspw/Ttzxsh3HFHI/AAAAAAAAF2Y/dmScsV9lZRo/s400/toothfairy_120111_0056.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682682577140782194" border="0" /></a>julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-46124987902647944152011-11-27T20:40:00.000-08:002011-11-27T20:46:49.165-08:00Growing UpI hate that it's happening, but my little Eleanor is growing up. Tonight while cuddling on the couch she was telling me all the kids in her primary class. When she got to a little boy named Noah she said, "Not the one with the blond hair but the cute one". It was so cute how she said I loved that she was comfortable enough to tell me about this little Noah. I asked him why she thought he was cute and she said because he is really nice and has brown hair. I wish I knew the trick to keeping her young but obviously that's not going to happen so I just hope she will continue being so trusting and open with me. Soon after she told me this we both fell asleep on the couch. I know it may not sound like much but to me this was such a sweet memory for me.julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-60426222683756829532011-11-26T06:47:00.000-08:002011-12-05T07:34:04.897-08:00Jude's BlessingWe decided to wait until Thanksgiving weekend to bless Jude. John's parents just returned from a mission and my parent's were in town for Thanksgiving so it worked out great. We blessed him in our home with just family. It was a great morning and Jude was the prefect little baby. He loved all the attention and looked adorable in his blessing outfit.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mx0cDlI9yTM/TtzjmhFTPkI/AAAAAAAAF10/lPt6VEaZ13Q/s1600/jude_blessing_112611_0185.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It was a very relaxed and enjoyable day. Eleanor was so much fun to watch. She was really into celebrating Thanksgiving and even made her own fruit salad. She helped make the name cards and set the table all by herself. (She put all the boys on one side and the girls on another) She even wanted me to take a million photos of her. She sure does make our lives more interesting!<br /><br />John and Grandpa spent most the afternoon finishing our Christmas lights. They spent quite a few hours out in the cold and they did a fantastic job! (And I am so grateful for my Dad's help. He did my portion!)<br /><br />It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. I always love Thanksgiving and this year was fabulous!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qbw5-Mi1iqY/TtMSeqrkiXI/AAAAAAAAFvc/IRy897V3v3U/s1600/guest.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

Amy had Cecilia on November 8th and Sara and I drove down will all our kids to be there for the big day. We couldn't all fit in one car and our rental van turned out being twice as expensive as we thought so ended up caravanning (is that a word?). Eleanor went with Sara and Henry and I kept Amelia and Jude. Jude we perfect! He cried maybe a 5 minutes (different story coming home) and Amelia only cried once when she got her arm stuck outside her car seat straps. I'm not sure where she came up with it but the entire drive down Amelia kept saying, "Mom watch out the cars". At first I thought it was really cute but after 10 hours of hearing that every few minutes I kind of went a little crazy!<br /><br />Poor Amy was expecting to go into the hospital on Thursday night but didn't actually go in until Sunday. After nearly 40 hours of labor she was still only at a 2 so they took Cecilia by cesarean.<br />Davey and Amy did a great job and Cecilia is adorable! Seeing how small Cecilia was made me really miss having Jude as a tiny new born. In fact, right after she was born I spent nearly the entire next day holding and cuddling my little Jude. It's just not fair they have to grow so dang fast!<br /><br />It was so much fun being down in Arizona for the arrival of Cecilia and being around family. Because of weather we ended up staying in AZ for 12 days. My girls had the time of their lives being with their cousin and it was fun having Jude meet everyone. Henry and Amelia loved being with each other all day and got in a lot of time with Olive, Jonathan, Lincoln and Elena. They are all going to be quite the rowdy bunch in a few years!<br /><br />I didn't take many photos so I stole these from Aunt Sara.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0vrtYexu-eg/TtzR27RDr4I/AAAAAAAAFww/HbCd_58ayFk/s1600/20111103-p1070058.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0vrtYexu-eg/TtzR27RDr4I/AAAAAAAAFww/HbCd_58ayFk/s400/20111103-p1070058.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647571387101058" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PYkrFBoYmlw/TtzRz73NUlI/AAAAAAAAFwk/BxQpI8nN1nc/s1600/20111103-p1070064.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PYkrFBoYmlw/TtzRz73NUlI/AAAAAAAAFwk/BxQpI8nN1nc/s400/20111103-p1070064.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647520007508562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aN7UpielQAY/TtzRwruov6I/AAAAAAAAFwY/AceJgFf80SQ/s1600/20111104-p1070092.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aN7UpielQAY/TtzRwruov6I/AAAAAAAAFwY/AceJgFf80SQ/s400/20111104-p1070092.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647464136982434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ko6DxMPBNgg/TtzRshhPk9I/AAAAAAAAFwM/fkeIVfYHzOI/s1600/20111104-p1070099.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ko6DxMPBNgg/TtzRshhPk9I/AAAAAAAAFwM/fkeIVfYHzOI/s400/20111104-p1070099.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647392676975570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GQAvADP4IBc/TtzRnY4tU5I/AAAAAAAAFwA/C0K0DcE9oqU/s1600/20111104-p1070103.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GQAvADP4IBc/TtzRnY4tU5I/AAAAAAAAFwA/C0K0DcE9oqU/s400/20111104-p1070103.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647304460129170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CF4Ih2_re1w/TtzRj4VGFyI/AAAAAAAAFv0/GJtKOy8mbZA/s1600/20111104-p1070104.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CF4Ih2_re1w/TtzRj4VGFyI/AAAAAAAAFv0/GJtKOy8mbZA/s400/20111104-p1070104.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647244181215010" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QbIhHymgN0w/TtzRg3B0F7I/AAAAAAAAFvo/Erojef-wmj8/s1600/20111104-p1070107.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QbIhHymgN0w/TtzRg3B0F7I/AAAAAAAAFvo/Erojef-wmj8/s400/20111104-p1070107.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682647192292300722" border="0" /></a>julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-32885044245256148352011-10-31T21:52:00.000-07:002011-10-31T22:24:17.572-07:00Halloween Night<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PwO2hLH_kps/Tq-A62gqT1I/AAAAAAAAFX8/_aMt6_VSmi0/s1600/103111_0012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PwO2hLH_kps/Tq-A62gqT1I/AAAAAAAAFX8/_aMt6_VSmi0/s400/103111_0012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669892204436016978" border="0" /></a>Halloween did not disappoint this year. John got home early from work and Sara and Henry were able to come and spend the evening with us. Eleanor and I made a cinnamon bread spider which turned out pretty good. I was going to try and make something spooky for dinner but didn't have time but we did have some yummy butternut squash soup.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XtvfDuNnF9Q/Tq-A1ksLR_I/AAAAAAAAFXw/t4E5Z9026kg/s1600/103111_0019.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XtvfDuNnF9Q/Tq-A1ksLR_I/AAAAAAAAFXw/t4E5Z9026kg/s400/103111_0019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669892113753130994" border="0" /></a>Eleanor was planning on being a princess but last minute she asked if she could be the witch from It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I tried talking her into wearing a green mask and a witch hat but she only wanted to wear the white sheet. I was actually thrilled that she asked to be the witch rather then the princess. I have a thing for homemade costumes. I think they are so much fun and I think she looked so cute in her little white sheet. Eleanor was pretty excited to hit every house in the neighborhood. Its nice living in an area where we know some many people.<br /><br />Amelia and Henry were little buds and went as Winny the Pooh and Piglet. It was pretty dang cute watching the two of them. Henry has the best little walk and you could tell he was quite proud of his outfit. He was dripping wet when Sara took off his costume! Amelia had a great night. She didn't want to wear her costume when I tried it on her earlier today but I told her she could only get candy and see Henry if she wore her costume. I don't think she complained once about her costume all night! She had a great time walking around the neighborhood. She was excited to have Henry and Sara with us. She kept telling Sara to watch her as she walked up to the doors.<br /><br />Jude got to wear the traditional pumpkin costume. All three of our kids have worn it for their first Halloween. I was a little afraid Jude wouldn't fit in it but we were able to squeeze him into it. He was a pretty cute little pumpkin. It's hard to think that he'll be walking around next Halloween.<br /><br />Overall we had a great night. I'm sad to see Halloween be over but I'm excited to know that the holidays are just around the corner!! And even more excited that our newest little niece will be here by the end of the week!! Yeah!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X6l8aYRs7SY/Tq-AsBvdQZI/AAAAAAAAFXk/KhpMEHzoxfM/s1600/103111_0028.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Well, actually Amelia still sleeps in the crib and will probably do so until I move Jude from the bassinet.

He's always such a good sport to go along with the family theme each year. This year was very last minute but I think it came together great. We all dressed up for John's work trick-or-treating but by the time we tried getting photos the kids were done! So, I made all of us dress up again for Katelyn's birthday party (which actually wasn't even a costume party. Oops).<br /><br />When I first got Amelia and Eleanor in their costumes Eleanor said to Amelia, "You look like a girl from Idaho and I look like a girl from Las Vegas!". Classic Eleanor. She loved being dressed in what she thought was the fanciest dress ever (my slip) and having her eyeliner and mascara on. She wasn't too thrilled about the mole I put on her face the first day and refused to allow me to put one on the second day (so I had to photoshop one on). She had another costume party just before Katelyn's and I told her she could go as what ever she wanted but she really wanted to go as Ginger.<br /><br />Amelia could care less what she looked like, she just wanted ALL the candy. It was so much fun watching her at John's work. She would take candy from anyone (which was nearly every employee) and had no problem asking people to open her candy. She also loved seeing all the scary costumes and would say, "scaaaaary". I was also impressed she kept her wig on the entire 2 hours!<br /><br />Jude had no clue why I was making him wear a size 18-24 shirt and a sailor hat pinned in half but he was a good sport and went along with it! It made me really sad looking at this photo and seeing just how big our little boy has gotten.<br /><br />John's costume cracked me up! His hat was about 10 sizes too small but he still wore it all day! His pants were also a little too small and I told him to just not tuck in his shirt but he refused. He'd looked at all the photos of The Skipper and his shirt was tucked in so by darn his was going to be tucked in as well! He also didn't think anyone was going to get the whole Gilligan's Island theme and was surprised when people knew who he was even without the rest of the gang.<br /><br />My outfit is by far the most hideous but of course I put mine off until the very last minute. When Eleanor saw my dress she asked me to buy her one just like it if I ever found it in her size. She also was very jealous that I got to wear the pearl necklaces and white gloves but she was not envious of my wig. I seriously never looked at myself in the mirror and now I'm wishing I would have at least combed the wig. Oh well.julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-65891187257634533042011-10-28T10:49:00.000-07:002011-11-01T12:08:30.983-07:00JudeThis sweet little baby boy won't stop growing! I hate that he is past the newborn stage but I am loving that his little personality is starting to develop. I haven't been able to capture it yet but Jude has got the best smile. He smiles most when his two sisters are laying next to him, giving him kisses and/or playing with him. You'd think he'd be pretty annoyed with them in his face all day but surprisingly he really does like it. He's one loved little boy!<br /><br />He didn't like the bath the first few times but now he's very relaxed and stays in there for a about 15 minutes. He's a little more difficult to bathe then the girls. His neck has multiple layers of wrinkles to clean as well as his thighs.<br /><br />Jude is my first baby that loves to be swaddled. At night when he's getting fussy I start wrapping him in his miracle blanket and by the time he's all bundled up he's calm and almost asleep. He still likes to be rocked to sleep which I love! He does pretty good sleeping at night. He goes down around 9 then wakes up around 2 and then 5. I can't complain. He's not the greatest cuddlier but we are working on it. He's taken a few good naps on my chest and I love it! He defiantly prefers to be held but he also enjoys being in the swing or on the couch.<br /><br />I can't even describe how much we love this little boy and love having him in our family!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Hylcs1C9-I/TrBARTIJZUI/AAAAAAAAFfE/DVMVKEVE-8Y/s1600/jude_101711_0009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Hylcs1C9-I/TrBARTIJZUI/AAAAAAAAFfE/DVMVKEVE-8Y/s400/jude_101711_0009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670102596795852098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEATeNzcMnA/TrA4f8JW7RI/AAAAAAAAFes/lvxk557indM/s1600/jude_100311_0008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEATeNzcMnA/TrA4f8JW7RI/AAAAAAAAFes/lvxk557indM/s400/jude_100311_0008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670094052231933202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5GFEvS6-J7A/TrA4gC2kZKI/AAAAAAAAFe4/314b8QrrEUI/s1600/jude_100311_0010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5GFEvS6-J7A/TrA4gC2kZKI/AAAAAAAAFe4/314b8QrrEUI/s400/jude_100311_0010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670094054032172194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RXhHgvpBuaY/TrA4Ha52KEI/AAAAAAAAFeg/puucCt9Y9Nk/s1600/jude_101311_0008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RXhHgvpBuaY/TrA4Ha52KEI/AAAAAAAAFeg/puucCt9Y9Nk/s400/jude_101311_0008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670093630991640642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TmXKHhHd7w/TrA3ziOd1UI/AAAAAAAAFeU/Dfep9Gse_aQ/s1600/jude_101311_0019.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TmXKHhHd7w/TrA3ziOd1UI/AAAAAAAAFeU/Dfep9Gse_aQ/s400/jude_101311_0019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670093289359791426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3j6IhXmIxQI/TrA3oIE1JnI/AAAAAAAAFeI/DwoT_LDbzg0/s1600/jude_101311_0031.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3j6IhXmIxQI/TrA3oIE1JnI/AAAAAAAAFeI/DwoT_LDbzg0/s400/jude_101311_0031.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670093093361493618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Xsek2v1TwQ/TrAzJb8opQI/AAAAAAAAFd8/pwbHILot2aM/s1600/jude_101311_0040.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Xsek2v1TwQ/TrAzJb8opQI/AAAAAAAAFd8/pwbHILot2aM/s400/jude_101311_0040.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670088168073372930" border="0" /></a>julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-30463296296852279302011-10-27T16:52:00.000-07:002011-10-30T06:52:15.730-07:00AmeliaI love this little girl! All I have to do is take one little peak at her and I'm grinning from ear to ear! She is at a really fun stage right now. Just the past few weeks she has started talking so much more. She now puts words together and will repeat ANYTHING you say (I've heard her say a few things I'm sure she picked up from John!). Speaking of John, every night when John gets home Amelia hears the garage door opens and runs right to the garage door. She then follows John into our bedroom and starts telling him all about her day. John says he can tell she is trying to tell him everything and talks a mile a minute! I think this little quality time is so cute and hope it continues throughout the years.<br /><br />One of my favorite things about Amelia right now is her love for shoes especially flip flops or as she calls them bac bacs. I didn't believe it either at first, but the girl knows how to put her shoes on the right feet. Amy and Sara tried convincing me of while I was in the hospital with Jude but I thought it was always just a fluke. She constantly has a pair of shoes on her little feet and will get so upset if she can't find the pair of shoes she is looking.<br /><br />Just a few days ago she started calling Eleanor "Ella Bella" and she yells it at the top of her lungs. This drives Eleanor crazy which I think makes it more enjoyable for Amelia.<br /><br />She loves her baby dolls! Well, she loves Henry's baby doll. Sara got Henry a doll and Amelia has kidnapped it. She totally knows it's Henry's doll and refers to it as "Henry's baby". Every time we leave the house she has to take a baby with her. She kisses her babies all the time and has just started wanting them to wear different outfits ALL DAY long! Drives me a little crazy but I love the outfits she comes up with (like baby wipes).<br /><br />Jude's biggest fan in Amelia. She LOVES her "buder". She loves laying down next (or on top) to him and giving him kisses. She also loves to point out every part of his body and thinks it's funny when he has a poopy diaper. When Jude was about 2 weeks old she was sitting next to me while I was changing his diaper and he peeded directly in her mouth!! She spit it out, started crying and said, "drink yucky mouth". It was hilarious and now she loves telling people about it!<br /><br />When Amelia gets tired she says, "Hold you. Arm". This means she wants me us to hold her and she wants to rub our arm. Eleanor loved rubbing our chin and Amelia loves our arms. We always have to remind her not to pinch while she is rubbing.<br /><br />Amelia loves music and loves to dance. When she wants music on she says "Gaga". She thinks all musicians are Lady Gaga.<br /><br />I don't think I've seen a messier eater. Nearly every meal ends up in her hair, down her clothes, on the floor and on Miley. Today she stuffed her pockets full of pasta when she decided she was full.<br /><br />You've never heard anyone say I" Love You" as cute as she does. She says, "Nuv you". It's perfect!<br /><br />She is completely obsessed with motorcycles. She can spot one a mile away and yells "macacycle" every time she sees one. Mimi got her a little riding motorcycle for an early birthday present and she can ride that for hours!<br /><br />Amelia loves being outside. I let her go out back by herself and she is totally in her element. She loves going down the slide and has no fear! She can play for hours at the rock patio. Our neighbors have a little kitten that jumps the fence and Amelia loves playing with it.<br /><br />I love when I do her hair in two little ponies. She looks so adorable! She too likes having her hair done and will often bring me a comb and say "pretty".<br /><br />She still loves her lotion. She doesn't eat it as much now, instead she loves putting it in her hair and I just discovered she's been covering Jude's head in lotion as well.<br /><br />She still has her strong sweet tooth!!<br /><br />Amelia is the little clown in our family. She loves getting people to laugh. If she knows you think something is funny she'll do it over and over again and will say "watch". I don't know how many times a day I hear, "Mama watch" and then she'll do something. Sometimes it's something cute or funny but most of the time it's something so simple or dumb. It cracks me up!<br /><br />I know I could go on and on about other things I love about her but I have a crying baby and Amelia is begging for her milk.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ROJsAMiAGHw/Tq1V046syNI/AAAAAAAAFMg/KCMHqRy-pOY/s1600/amelia_100811_0003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ROJsAMiAGHw/Tq1V046syNI/AAAAAAAAFMg/KCMHqRy-pOY/s400/amelia_100811_0003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669281873049471186" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-biG__BcJUDA/Tq1V81ENxlI/AAAAAAAAFMs/XdsVL8nK4iw/s1600/amelia_101511_0039.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-biG__BcJUDA/Tq1V81ENxlI/AAAAAAAAFMs/XdsVL8nK4iw/s400/amelia_101511_0039.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669282009454593618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-egXa36qHkvw/Tq1VvR00ZkI/AAAAAAAAFMU/UZ5Au2prEvQ/s1600/amelia_100211_0044.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-egXa36qHkvw/Tq1VvR00ZkI/AAAAAAAAFMU/UZ5Au2prEvQ/s400/amelia_100211_0044.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669281776656475714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6w84r1jz-oI/Tq1VrKrS_FI/AAAAAAAAFMI/LQHMhPJDOEg/s1600/amelia_100211_0042.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6w84r1jz-oI/Tq1VrKrS_FI/AAAAAAAAFMI/LQHMhPJDOEg/s400/amelia_100211_0042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669281706018012242" border="0" /></a><br /><br />*She is also very difficult to photograph.

Amelia and Henry were in heaven. Amelia loved the hay and Henry seemed to love everything. Eleanor searched and searched for the perfect pumpkin but was never able to find one. Both she and Amelia ended up with some cute little gourds. I couldn't believe how beautiful the weather was. It really was the perfect afternoon to spend at the pumpkin patch.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WSGh2NylxmY/TrCCqT05qEI/AAAAAAAAFqU/AtA3mRUaRTw/s1600/20111027-p1060966.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We went hiking a few weeks back and Eleanor hasn't stopped talking about it. So, after her presents were opened we headed up to Provo canyon and did the little hike (aka walk) to Bridal Veil Falls. It was such a beautiful day and we were surprised to see that the leaves were still on some of the trees and were so colorful. Amelia had a blast gathering leaves and sticks. She was kind of a little pill when I tried taking her photo and she wasn't too thrilled that I made her stay out of the creek.<br /><br />After our hike we ran a few errands so Amelia could get a little nap before dinner. Last time we were at Texas Roadhouse, Amelia loved the cinnamon butter so we decided to take her there. Right when we sat down she asked for bread and "sauce".<br /><br />We planned on going swimming after dinner but we were all to stuffed. Overall it was a great birthday and it was fun being able to spend the day together.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfd35mMcFjI/Tq8X0W8iKWI/AAAAAAAAFUA/1q5mNePUV-k/s1600/bridal_vail_102411_0031.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfd35mMcFjI/Tq8X0W8iKWI/AAAAAAAAFUA/1q5mNePUV-k/s400/bridal_vail_102411_0031.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669776644162857314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-23_B7GW4iWI/Tq8Xh0NGhjI/AAAAAAAAFT0/Z_pWaT6rkJQ/s1600/bridal_vail_102411_0034.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-23_B7GW4iWI/Tq8Xh0NGhjI/AAAAAAAAFT0/Z_pWaT6rkJQ/s400/bridal_vail_102411_0034.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669776325599462962" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CXwOH7M4SeM/Tq8XYEag7cI/AAAAAAAAFTo/ZMf3oNfLPU8/s1600/bridal_vail_102411_0143.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CXwOH7M4SeM/Tq8XYEag7cI/AAAAAAAAFTo/ZMf3oNfLPU8/s400/bridal_vail_102411_0143.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669776158151994818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Eklu-ic7jWU/Tq8V_tXCAVI/AAAAAAAAFTc/X753szUymZE/s1600/bridal_vail_102411_0022.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Eklu-ic7jWU/Tq8V_tXCAVI/AAAAAAAAFTc/X753szUymZE/s400/bridal_vail_102411_0022.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669774640134881618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PWSm-tHtjEk/Tq8U2eZ9OPI/AAAAAAAAFTQ/qazhN3tkcNU/s1600/bridal_vail_102411_0211.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PWSm-tHtjEk/Tq8U2eZ9OPI/AAAAAAAAFTQ/qazhN3tkcNU/s400/bridal_vail_102411_0211.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669773381990168818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CTGUAURS8zI/Tq8UkDtvrEI/AAAAAAAAFTE/i-RDNmNpCBM/s1600/kids_leaves.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 204px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CTGUAURS8zI/Tq8UkDtvrEI/AAAAAAAAFTE/i-RDNmNpCBM/s400/kids_leaves.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669773065587764290" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wBJPbyowSXw/Tq8SujkMvfI/AAAAAAAAFS4/9N4t0Aq99f8/s1600/bridal_vail_102411_0231.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wBJPbyowSXw/Tq8SujkMvfI/AAAAAAAAFS4/9N4t0Aq99f8/s400/bridal_vail_102411_0231.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669771046913097202" border="0" /></a>julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-41516743910152244822011-10-18T17:02:00.000-07:002011-11-01T17:35:11.898-07:00SwimmingI love the Legacy Center here in Lehi. It's hard to believe that we've been going there for 6 years! I remember taking Eleanor to the day care when she was itty-bitty. Since Eleanor has been doing swimming lessons we've been trying to take the kids swimming more often and get them used to the water. As I mentioned earlier, Eleanor improved a ton on her swimming and Amelia is our little natural fish.<br /><br />John got home at a decent time the other night so we took the girls swimming. We all had such a good time. Jude was a perfect little angle and slept in his car seat the entire time.<br /><br />Amelia was cracking us up with her swimming skills. She loved laying on her tummy and scooting across the pool. She also loves standing on the edge and jumping into the pool. She didn't care much for the swings. I thought she would love them boy was I wrong! I am so glad she loves the water so much and can't wait to get her in swimming lessons next year.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OAf3g6d69pw/TrCP98ybOII/AAAAAAAAFsY/DNRcpGTD92E/s1600/swimming_101811_0054.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Amelia couldn't find hers so she decided to paint her apple. They were out there for nearly two hours working on their master pieces. They had a lot of fun.

I love this little girl and think she is just so dang cute. Well, Eleanor saw me taking photos of Allyson and she got so jealous. She wanted to know why I was taking photos of Allyson and not her. I told her because Allyson looked so cute. Well, 10 minutes later Eleanor came out in this outfit and wanted me to take her photo. This is quite the change for Eleanor. Normally she gets quite upset when I try to take her photo. Maybe I should have Allyson over a little more!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qLzfWIH12tw/TrB-S_7zWAI/AAAAAAAAFoQ/5JtiXVXxAoQ/s1600/allison_101411_0005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qLzfWIH12tw/TrB-S_7zWAI/AAAAAAAAFoQ/5JtiXVXxAoQ/s400/allison_101411_0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670170795724462082" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QMTZTEWq_X4/TrB-TDE8-HI/AAAAAAAAFoc/0bVD64ljYDk/s1600/eleanor_101511_0005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QMTZTEWq_X4/TrB-TDE8-HI/AAAAAAAAFoc/0bVD64ljYDk/s400/eleanor_101511_0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670170796568148082" border="0" /></a>julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-64853441409115163122011-10-15T06:37:00.000-07:002011-11-01T07:04:23.975-07:00Pumpkin PatchEvery fall I look forward to our trip to the pumpkin patch. This year we were lucky to have Lydia join us! I had great plans for getting lots of fun pictures and having a good time...but things didn't go as planned. John and I were meeting at the park and ride and I forgot my cell phone. Of course he told me the address but I'm not great with numbers and told him to just let me follow him. Well, Mr. Dale Earnhartd took off and left me high and dry. We ended up at different pumpkin patches. I borrowed two different cell phone and finally got a hold of him. When we finally met up I wasn't the happiest and was taking it out on John. Finally I got over it and decided I just need to enjoy our evening together. I was sad the lighting wasn't too great but was glad I was able to get a few photos. Over all it turned out to be a fun night. The girls only wanted the tinny pumpkins. Both John and I tried talking them into big ones but they would not have it!<br /><br />After the patch the girls wanted to eat at Wendy's (I could have chosen much better!). They were pretty excited that John got them frosties and let them eat it before their dinner. Eleanor and Lydia were so cute together. They really do love each other. It's just too bad we live so far away!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0TuVIZXbTT8/Tq_5CQBbp7I/AAAAAAAAFcQ/qH4EeIQq2ls/s1600/pumpkin_patch_101511_0007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

She has worked really hard all summer and fall. During the summer she took private lessons from a great teacher and was able to get over a lot of her fears. She then took a 9 day class with Evan. Although we worked hard she didn't pass the class. I enrolled her in for a second round and she did awesome! She even admitted that sometimes she says she doesn't like going to swim lessons but really she does. She is still pretty cautious but has come a very very long way! Way to go Eleanor!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MlLgosFBTDo/TrB4yb8z0NI/AAAAAAAAFn4/LOGJLDe51Uo/s1600/eleanor_101311_0009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MlLgosFBTDo/TrB4yb8z0NI/AAAAAAAAFn4/LOGJLDe51Uo/s400/eleanor_101311_0009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670164738751058130" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3tR12WpvTg8/TrB4x4kfpNI/AAAAAAAAFns/oxgK-AHig0Y/s1600/eleanor_101311_0005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3tR12WpvTg8/TrB4x4kfpNI/AAAAAAAAFns/oxgK-AHig0Y/s400/eleanor_101311_0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670164729253831890" border="0" /></a>julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-35070224137799033902011-10-10T12:38:00.000-07:002011-11-01T16:30:18.708-07:00Visitors From ArizonaWe were so thrilled to have Jeff, Elyse, Olive, Grandpa and Davey all up in Utah over the weekend. Jeff, Davey, Grandpa and John all went to the UofU v. ASU football game. Grandpa and John were cheering for Utah and of course Jeff and Davey wanted ASU to win. Well, let's just say John and Grandpa didn't come home quite as happy as Jeff and Davey! (actually John was double sad when he got home. On the way home Davey rolled down the window and lost a Utah flag. We like giving Davey a hard time about it!)<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-umnzuoGIfng/TrBLLkTif8I/AAAAAAAAFic/-RTyJ62d8_k/s1600/uofu_asu_100811_0003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-umnzuoGIfng/TrBLLkTif8I/AAAAAAAAFic/-RTyJ62d8_k/s400/uofu_asu_100811_0003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670114592955727810" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4f33lreFPhA/TrBLL50hSjI/AAAAAAAAFio/-nKcrpVb-jc/s1600/john_100811_0017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4f33lreFPhA/TrBLL50hSjI/AAAAAAAAFio/-nKcrpVb-jc/s400/john_100811_0017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670114598731205170" border="0" /></a>It was a lot of fun having everyone at our home. I love any time my kids get to spend with their cousins. I hope they grow up to all be best of friends. Of course Henry and Amelia couldn't keep their little paws off Jude. It will be nice when Jude is old enough to actually play with this wild bunch of kids!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6hR3v3BnZVE/TrBw5kvkSDI/AAAAAAAAFnI/IR1RI8ijZTE/s1600/20111008-p1060470.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6hR3v3BnZVE/TrBw5kvkSDI/AAAAAAAAFnI/IR1RI8ijZTE/s400/20111008-p1060470.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670156065277495346" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9uQ-z6d_dsI/TrBw6O2FVFI/AAAAAAAAFnU/HOGWKt5rdBU/s1600/20111008-p1060439.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9uQ-z6d_dsI/TrBw6O2FVFI/AAAAAAAAFnU/HOGWKt5rdBU/s400/20111008-p1060439.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670156076579116114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0BCLmSAEBA8/TrBw6X30VZI/AAAAAAAAFng/Ypiu1JEfx7E/s1600/20111008-p1060411.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0BCLmSAEBA8/TrBw6X30VZI/AAAAAAAAFng/Ypiu1JEfx7E/s400/20111008-p1060411.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670156079002310034" border="0" /></a>I love photos of bathing cousins.

This is one of my all time favorite things to do during the fall. This year it felt more like winter and I don't think we were prepared for the weather! Eleanor kept asking me if she could get a cup of "rootbeer". I have a feeling she wouldn't care much for the kind of "rootbeer" they were serving.<br /><br />Aren't these two little buddies so dang cute! They can't keep their hands off each other and I love it!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7WXsJKBaRM/TrBvm02R6sI/AAAAAAAAFlQ/TuzV7D1fef4/s1600/20111009-p1060598.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7WXsJKBaRM/TrBvm02R6sI/AAAAAAAAFlQ/TuzV7D1fef4/s400/20111009-p1060598.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670154643671476930" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ooIQ1y-v4c/TrBvVK9UhqI/AAAAAAAAFlE/YuXTPm1grts/s1600/20111009-p1060599.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ooIQ1y-v4c/TrBvVK9UhqI/AAAAAAAAFlE/YuXTPm1grts/s400/20111009-p1060599.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670154340368942754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qOJ6KAH7lOc/TrBvoYddF7I/AAAAAAAAFlo/0BUS8GHQdTc/s1600/20111009-p1060585.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pumtvjbkM8U/TrBvUcYcdhI/AAAAAAAAFk4/q8tqKh3TbMk/s1600/20111009-p1060636.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pumtvjbkM8U/TrBvUcYcdhI/AAAAAAAAFk4/q8tqKh3TbMk/s400/20111009-p1060636.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670154327866242578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-REe-OjUZWzY/TrBvTdJiwHI/AAAAAAAAFks/DKOICwcjt_I/s1600/20111009-p1060676.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-REe-OjUZWzY/TrBvTdJiwHI/AAAAAAAAFks/DKOICwcjt_I/s400/20111009-p1060676.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670154310892306546" border="0" /></a>The weather finally warmed up a bit and we were able to take the kids down to the Farm at Thanksgiving Point. Eleanor and Olive were quite the little buddies and had fun running all around. Its cute to see how much Olive loves playing with Eleanor. The highlight was watching all the kids ride on the ponies especially Henry. You can tell he is so proud of himself! That Idaho blood runs thick in him! Amelia was a little more then obsessed with the animals. She had no fear and was putting her mouth in the goats mouth.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ooIQ1y-v4c/TrBvVK9UhqI/AAAAAAAAFlE/YuXTPm1grts/s1600/20111009-p1060599.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qc_nx5iunPQ/TrBsgelYJcI/AAAAAAAAFkg/c31kG4cYB4E/s1600/Oct102011_0146.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qc_nx5iunPQ/TrBsgelYJcI/AAAAAAAAFkg/c31kG4cYB4E/s400/Oct102011_0146.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670151236080903618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LIMUWWQuRgs/TrBsXwcD-DI/AAAAAAAAFkU/1dAFsZys6Sc/s1600/Oct102011_0131.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LIMUWWQuRgs/TrBsXwcD-DI/AAAAAAAAFkU/1dAFsZys6Sc/s400/Oct102011_0131.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670151086254848050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GLkMU6yarfA/TrBsNkmD9KI/AAAAAAAAFkI/wLuos-a59UM/s1600/Oct102011_0110.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GLkMU6yarfA/TrBsNkmD9KI/AAAAAAAAFkI/wLuos-a59UM/s400/Oct102011_0110.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670150911276872866" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6rhNfW9HvwI/TrBsCBGwuwI/AAAAAAAAFjw/vDqvHIRYG2U/s1600/Oct102011_0097.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6rhNfW9HvwI/TrBsCBGwuwI/AAAAAAAAFjw/vDqvHIRYG2U/s400/Oct102011_0097.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670150712771787522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n-5-zKlNjXc/TrBsCT_HFDI/AAAAAAAAFj8/7vAYIpVXp4w/s1600/Oct102011_0101.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n-5-zKlNjXc/TrBsCT_HFDI/AAAAAAAAFj8/7vAYIpVXp4w/s400/Oct102011_0101.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670150717839971378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u76yt6RZGPY/TrBr0Q9y2WI/AAAAAAAAFjk/U9m8QbEHI1E/s1600/Oct102011_0087.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u76yt6RZGPY/TrBr0Q9y2WI/AAAAAAAAFjk/U9m8QbEHI1E/s400/Oct102011_0087.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670150476510976354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-04hzYvTUu1Q/TrBrtFdQcII/AAAAAAAAFjY/BQcora0PTys/s1600/Oct102011_0085.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-04hzYvTUu1Q/TrBrtFdQcII/AAAAAAAAFjY/BQcora0PTys/s400/Oct102011_0085.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670150353162629250" border="0" /></a>Amelia and Olive aren't quite sure about each other.

It's always so fun to get together and sad to see everyone leave. Hopefully Jeff and Elyse can make it a tradition to come up every summer or fall and we are still trying to convince Davey he'd love living in Utah!julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-33489675461914074962011-10-04T21:31:00.001-07:002011-10-05T05:54:29.704-07:00Poor Sick Baby<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g0iVjZTJuuo/TovfKrQYPvI/AAAAAAAAFL0/nM6qvnlewIU/s1600/jude_100411_0001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g0iVjZTJuuo/TovfKrQYPvI/AAAAAAAAFL0/nM6qvnlewIU/s400/jude_100411_0001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659862731224268530" border="0" /></a><br />Today was a bit stressful for me. Last night Jude starting coughing pretty bad and developed a temperature of 100.4 in the middle of the night. First thing in the morning I called the doctor's office and they wanted to see him right away. The poor little guy has his first ear infection and had to taken to St. Marks to be tested for whooping cough. I can't think of anything worse then seeing your kids not feeling well, especially a newborn. It doesn't seem fair that he has to be sick. Even with him being sick he's still such a sweet little boy. Here he is just hanging out trying to get his fever to break. Oh and he's tipping the scale at a whomping 11 lbs!julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-49720392005103187562011-10-02T12:09:00.000-07:002011-11-01T12:37:04.476-07:00A Perfect Fall EveningThis fall has been ideal. We've had so many beautiful days. This evening we spent a few hours out in the backyard. The girls loved playing and even Jude seemed to enjoy being outside. Eleanor decided she needed to train Miley and ran around with her all night. Poor Miley was so warn out by the time their training session ended. Both Eleanor and Amelia loved playing with the sidewalk chalk and had it all over them. I'm so glad the weather has allowed us to spend so much time outdoors. I'm going to be so sad when this ends!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_gfMw0sZUNc/TrBGOGaqfBI/AAAAAAAAFgw/n2Y4fXsmlFc/s1600/d_e_j_100211_0001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

Mimi was in town and made all the little girls matching bath wraps. We also let the girls do their hair, nails and makeup.

Amelia doesn't mess around when it comes to her otter pops. She LOVES them! The only problem with giving them to her is I have to constantly cut the wrapper down for her. She hasn't quite figured out how to push the ice up. I learned real fast to use them as a bribe and it's been awesome!julie and johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980485471574813956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679819837611149050.post-73947590493177478692011-09-22T20:06:00.000-07:002011-11-01T20:09:48.739-07:00Amelia In Timeout<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKSr95OT4Zw/TrC0bhD0QJI/AAAAAAAAFt4/N6D8zPfm8H0/s1600/amelia_crying_092211_0009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKSr95OT4Zw/TrC0bhD0QJI/AAAAAAAAFt4/N6D8zPfm8H0/s400/amelia_crying_092211_0009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670230315683299474" border="0" /></a><br />This little girl has been in a lot of trouble today.

I hate how fast it has gone by but I love being able to watch her grow and develop into such a fun little girl!<br /><br />The night before her birthday I decorated her room in hopes that when she woke up in the morning she would be surprised. Well, the stinker has been coming into our room during the night and so she didn't see her surprise until she went downstairs to get dressed. None the less she still loved seeing her room decorated and made me keep it up for a week.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gzb8j1Morrg/Tq1fon5RbaI/AAAAAAAAFPU/JjRC5fVm678/s1600/eleanor_bday_092011_0008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gzb8j1Morrg/Tq1fon5RbaI/AAAAAAAAFPU/JjRC5fVm678/s400/eleanor_bday_092011_0008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669292657437928866" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It seemed like Eleanor outgrew all her clothes in one day! So, for her birthday I decided to get her all new clothes. I had already told her that I wasn't going to get her any toys since she was having a friend party and I was pretty sure she'd get plenty of toys. Well, John being the softy he is sent me to the store the night before to pick out the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Arial</span> boat Eleanor had been talking about for weeks. She was very surprised to get a toy and I'm glad John thought about getting it for her. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9xycGE4VFzg/Tq1fiRvXX4I/AAAAAAAAFPI/kQpCCJCGEWQ/s1600/eleanor_bday_092011_0012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9xycGE4VFzg/Tq1fiRvXX4I/AAAAAAAAFPI/kQpCCJCGEWQ/s400/eleanor_bday_092011_0012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669292548411580290" border="0" /></a>John always takes the day off of work for birthdays and so we were all able to go out to Kneaders for breakfast.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fYcoZisApu0/Tq1fbBBSI6I/AAAAAAAAFO8/fqiQPBEP7vQ/s1600/eleanor_bday_092011_0021.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fYcoZisApu0/Tq1fbBBSI6I/AAAAAAAAFO8/fqiQPBEP7vQ/s400/eleanor_bday_092011_0021.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669292423664247714" border="0" /></a>After breakfast Eleanor choose to head over to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Trafalga</span>.

Cheese for her birthday. We tried talking her out of it but she had her heart set on it! Since she was having a "girl" birthday party she decided she really wanted Evan to come with us. She also got to have Sara, Dick, Henry and Mimi come too. On the way over Eleanor kept talking about she's going to be getting a crown to wear. I tried telling her I didn't think they have crowns and don't be sad if she doesn't get one. Well, right when we walked in there was a display on one of the tables showing all the things you could get with the purchase of a birthday package. I felt like the worse parent ever when Eleanor took one look at the table and said, "See mom, I told you I get a crown". I thought you had to order the entire package to get the crown and I realized it was too late to get it. Well, luckily the I was able to buy just the crown and it made for one happy little girl.
