My Mike

I have got to tell everyone that I think I have the best husband in the world. I am so grateful for him. He goes to school all day and studies all night. I came home tonight to see Mike with Addie in his arms screaming! Mike takes the girls on Wed. night at 9pm so that I can go and play volleyball with some ladies in the ward. He didn't call me to come home or anything. I came home and took her from him and she calmed right down. Mike didn't complain or get mad, he just went into the bedroom so he could get some homework done.
I am loving being a full time mom and staying at home. This PA school experience is totally not what I expected. Our family is growing stronger everyday that we are here. We are loving AZ and this is where we were supposed to go for school.

Do they look alike?

I think that Hallee and Addie look so much alike. So many people call it both ways. I am so excited to see how much they end up being alike. Hallee is about 10 months in this picture and Addie is 6 months. What do you think?

Hallee got mail!

Meme sent us a package in the mail. Hallee was so excited to get something in the mail. She put on her new swimsuit that Meme had gotten for her and grabbed her Mermaid barbie that was in the package too. She then was ready to go swimming and then take a bath! I had to take a picture of her with all her new presents. Thanks Meme!

Karver

My cuz Karli had a little baby named Carver a couple of months after I did. We wanted to take pictures of them together. Karver was so cute and put his arm around Addie. My Uncle Danny sent these pictures and wrote "my baby is cuter than your baby". Well Danny, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ha! Ha!

Preschool

Hallee started preschool this week. She has been so excited to go. She had to pick out her dress and shoes the night before. She set her backpack by the front door and had it ready to go. She was sure up in time to go she was so excited! She came home so excited and wanted to go right back! Thanks Meme and Papa for helping us get her there!

Swimming Scare

We had a terrific time with some PA and ward friends yesterday. We swam and had a BBQ. I was watching Addie as she was being fussy. Mike got out of the pool to BBQ. Mike took off H's wings when they got out. I never take off her wings because there is 2 of them and 1 of me. I was paying attention to Addie and I look over and see this purple swimsuit under water. I grab Hallee and made sure she was okay. I put her up to my face and got really mad at her. Mike learned a very important lesson. We were very lucky that I was right there!

Washing Hands

Hallee loves to wash her hands! She spends 10 minutes in the bathroom after she uses the potty. Sometimes she spends a little too much time and makes a mess!
