Today...

The roof is leaking again....Awesome.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was an eventful one! We went to my parents house for dinner. Right before we got there the carbon monoxide detector that was in their basement went off. They had unplugged it a couple days before and it was just running on batteries so they figured the batteries were bad so they just took them out and ignored it. Then the detector they had upstairs went off and they started getting a little worried. Mike and I showed up with the girls and came into the house and my mom told us what happened. None of us were too worried but we decided to call the fire department just in case. They told us to get out of the house right away and they would be there shortly. When they arrived they went into the house with some probe type thing to measure the levels. As soon as they walked in the front door the probe measured the levels at a 10, which I guess is pretty high. They backed out right away and said if it was a 1o just walking through the front door, it was most likely higher than that inside the house. They called an ambulance to come out and check all of us for carbon monoxide poisoning. I was freaking out because I had my babies in the house!! Anyway, they checked us all and put us on oxygen just to be safe. Thankfully none of us had been poisoned. The Questar Gas guy came out (after sitting in the ambulance and our car for almost 2 hours) and searched for the source. They found it and fixed it. By the time we got back in the house our turkey dinner was cold but I'm so grateful we didn't ignore those detectors because we almost did!! I'm thankful for the firefighters and the paramedics for coming out and for being away from their own families on holidays so they can help keep others safe! I'm also thankful for the Questar Gas guy (even though he was as slow poke) for coming out and fixing the problem. Most importantly, I'm thankful my entire family is safe and doing well!

Time Marches On

I was cleaning up my pictures tonight and I came across this picture of Mylie. It was taken when she was a little over a year old.

Can you believe she now looks like this?

Addie has gone from this....

to this already!

Where does the time go?

What we've been up to

I'm really bad at blogging!! Really the problem is that I have too many pictures on my computer and I haven't figured out how I want to store them or back them up yet so I don't want to download any more pictures. My cameras memory card is finally full so I have no other choice. I guess it's a good time to give everyone a little update.

We went to a Halloween party at the Disney store with some friends. They all looked so cute and they had a blast!



We had some fun trick or treating. We didn't dress Addie up because she is still so little but I'm excited for next year!





We picked pumpkins and carved them

After a year and a half long battle, Mylie has FINALLY decided she is potty trained!!

She's also decided that she needs to breast feed her babies!

Mylie has really been such a good big sister to Addie! She loves to hold her and help her get her binkie back in her mouth.



We've really just been enjoying hanging out as a family! It's so different with two kids but I'm loving it!!!

Dear Mylie,

You came to me three years ago today. Healthy and happy. My beautiful baby girl. I loved you right away. I will love you forever. I will always play princesses with you (as long as you still want me to!). I will always tickle you and color pictures with you. I will always be your mommy and I can't thank the Lord enough for that. You are my sunshine. My Punkin' Pie!





Love you Mylie Moo! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
