Three Months Old!!



Guess who is three months old today?!

Well, Tiffany went in today to get weighed and checked out. When they put her on the scale, she did her normal peeing, and when the weight popped up, I didn't believe it, so I made them do it again - sure enough the chunker is 6lbs 9oz and is 20inches long!! She is starting to get soooo big!! Last night I started boxing up some of the preemie clothes that are too small for her. Earlier this week I got out the newborn stuff and washed it and got it ready. I am excited that she will start to fit in normal size clothes!



My sister-in-law Amy had her baby Benjamin on the 19th - he and Tiffany were due the same day. He came into the world weighing over 9lbs - he is HUGE next to her.



The girls helped Aaron wash Uncle Gabe's car this week. (They were out of town and we babysat their car). It was sooo much fun to watch them splash around in the water and try to figure out a way to steal the hose from Aaron - they never did. Notice on our van that we have flip flops now for all the members of our family!! It took me going to a few Targets - but I finally found them!
The girls and Aaron started a garden earlier this year (a total BS job that we did one night to get them off our backs). We now have corn, watermelon, and cantaloupe growing in our back yard. Not to shabby for a "eh" project!

Aye Aye Aye




(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

It has been one crazy week!! Last Friday we had a High School Musical 2 Party for Ashlee's 5th Birthday. I don't know about you - but this whole High School Musical thing is out of control!!! I had to go to 3 Wal-Marts to find the silly decorations! But all - in - all it was fun. The funny part was that when all the kids when upstairs to dress up during a commercial - they didn't come down for about 30 minutes - and the adult men a the party were sitting by each other, watching the movie like it was Star Wars or something. It was great!!
Life has been crazy. Tiffany weighs now 5lbs 4oz. She is finally putting on some weight - HURRAY! She is still having a few issues, but hopefully she will be a normal little girl. I finally can put newborn clothes on her - they are a tad big, but it's nice to see her in normal size clothes! I took her to get her pictures taken on Wednesday, and hopefully in the next 2 weeks they will email me the proofs and I can post them on here. I think they turned out cute - but I'm the mom so all pictures are cute!! We are going to bless her on September 2nd - so anyone who wishes to join us at Church - our ward starts at 8:30 am !!
Aaron and I will be married 10 years in 2 weeks, and I am having issues on what to buy him. Any suggestions that won't break the bank? Since I'm no longer working (oh yeah - I left Empire to stay at home with the chick-a-dees. This was a very hard thing for me to do since I loved my job and the people I worked with. I really am going to miss the big machines and all the people at Empire. The nice thing is that I left on a good note, so I can go back and visit without it being weird). Back to the subject - I need ideas to give Aaron for our 10th. Any suggestions??

Just a bunch of Dorks!!

Crazy, Crazy, Crazy



Soo - I've been a tad crazy - sorry. I'm so excited that school starts on Monday - it truly is the most wonderful time of the year - having both girls in all day school - ahhh - music to my ears!!

Tiffany is doing okay - last Thursday her weight was 4lbs 8oz - today she is 4lbs 11oz. The doctor is not very happy with the lack of weight gain - so I now will basically feed her a special formula most of her feedings and only nurse her once or twice - total bummer. The formula is $15 a can - and it is a very small can - maybe 5 days worth - (she is getting to be expensive). We have another appointment next Friday - and if there isn't a better weight gain - she may have to go back into the hospital - so please pray she gets fat!!

Last weekend we went up to my in-law's cabin by Show Low - it was wonderful!! The weather was soo cool, and it was cloudy and it would rain on and off. There is nothing better than laying on the bed to take a nap, listening to the rain, and a cool breeze coming through the windows!! I would love to move up there. Tiffany seemed to sleep better there - she wasn't stuffy like she is down in the valley.

Besides the normal craziness of the day - life is good. I've started a small business - hopefully it will be good. I'm making little aprons that you wear while breastfeeding. I'm going to sell them on ebay and craigslist for $15 in hopes of making a little extra dough for Christmas! I'll take a picture of one and post it later.

Thanks for all of the love and support - please pray that Tiffany gets fat!!!!

P.S. While working on this blog - Ashlee got a piece of paper, held it over the candle I'm burning, and started it on fire - she then threw it in the trash to "hide it" and that's when I smelled smoke - and Elle came into the office screaming the trash was smoking - ARG - is it Monday yet???????????
