Home!

What a busy month! We finally found our house. We close on the 8th and move in on the 9th of November. I could not be more happy. It is 3300 sq feet. 3 bed, 3 bath, unfinished basement. Fully landscaped, fully fenced. It is a beautiful home. I am so anxious to move in! Before we move in, we are painting and cleaning everything. Logans room will be a dark blue, airplane theme, ours will be grey, with one grey and white chevron wall, Blaires will be grey and pink. We also just got the prettiest washer and dryer. Whirlpool duet steam, in an awesome teal color.

I have been extra busy with photo shoots this month, and trying to catch up on all editing. In total, I have already done 5, with 3 more to go. I am loving it!

Logan is to the point on potty training where he no longer needs to tell us, he just goes! It is awesome and so funny to watch. He is growing way to fast! Blaire is a laughing, talking machine! Her newest thing is blowing bubbles are growling at us. She also likes to copy us when we cough.

Last week we were in a car accident.  It was very scary, but it could have been a lot worst. Reece was in the front seat, leaning down to pick some stuff up off the floor, I was in the back with the babies and Rory was driving. We got rear ended at a stop light waiting to turn, he hit us going at least 30 mph. It did not feel good. It knocked me out and scared the babies very bad. Logan was playing games on the Ipad, so when we were hit, he smashed his face into it. It left a pretty good welt, that is still there. Poor Rory slammed his head into the window, and Reece was just very scared. Thankfully the airbags were not deployed or he could have gotten hurt a lot worst. It was lucky he was bending down, otherwise he would have hit his head on the dashboard pretty hard. We ended up going to the emergency room for some xrays and check ups, thankfully we only ended up with a fun case of whiplash and nothing worst.

This is our home! I am so excited!

Potty training and puppies

Logan is officially potty trained. Not once a day in the potty, but every time. No more accidents and he does great in public places and even going #2! I couldnt be more proud of him. He is such a rock star too. Every song on the radio he sings, and he loves nursery rhymes as well. He talks in full sentences. So weird. He also has done great at learning to share. His favorite friend is Knox and they do so great together. Logan loves going to Grandma Connies and hates leaving. It is a struggle every time. Logan is going to be Spider Man for Halloween. He has a small obsession, but it is cute. He also loves Iron Man. I love our little buddy!

Blaire is now eating solid foods. So far, she has eaten peas and green beans. She does very well on both. She is learning to sit up now. She is a chatter box as well. Talking all morning and night. She can roll both ways. She is growing way to fast. She loves brother and cant help but smile when she sees him, same with daddy. She is weaned off her binky and can put her self to sleep as well. She loves holding her feet up and knawing on her hands.

Last week we bought the babies a puppy. She is now 9 weeks old and has done great on potty training. She is a standard Poodle. A cream colored one. She is so pretty. She follows Logan every where.

We finally found a house. It is in Riverton. It is perfect, it is over 3,000 sq. feet. Brand new. Gated community. We are excited. We are 90% sure we got it. We also got approved for no down payment, so that $10,000 we saved for a down payment can stay in savings. Yipee!

We have one month til November which is in when our lease is up. I am excited to take that last step and be out!

Rory and I have been very busy being parents of two but we are so happy. We spend every waking moment with our babies. We are driving to California July 07, 2012. We are staying in a resort with a kitchen area. We are also taking the kiddos to Disney Land. We are very excited!

I have been working out for going on six months now, and the results are amazing. I have a six pack! I am so proud of my self! I have always wanted a toned tummy, but finally realized wanting gets me no where, working does! I worked my butt of for it :)

Off to get the kids to bed. I will write later with pics hopefully!

Ok so I guess it has been forever since I have actually updated. Being a mommy to two babies really sucks allll free time. But I like it that way. These two keep me busy. And happy. Very happy. Blaire is going on five months. Still no teeth. Sitting on her own for a while before tipping over. Talking a lot, just like mommy. Biggest smiles when daddy talks to her. No more binkies. Started on rice cereal laughs at her brothers. Sweetest little girl.
Logan is 29 mOnths. I can't believe how much he talks. About everything! I love it. He is a big singer too. He makes songs about anything. Eats really good sometimes. But that's sorta rare. Obsessed with giving sister kisses and loves holding her. Does great at potty training for a week or so than decides he likes diapers Better. That's ok though. He knows most colors and can choose letters out that I ask. He is my little champ.

I am now at 109 and my abs are coming in great. I have a full on four pack and six pack has started showing through. I work out every night unless I am to drained.
Rory is doing great. He is so smart and has so many ideas.

I'll come update later phone is about to die!

There's nothing quite like seeing the guy you had to sneak around to date, the guy you fell completely in love with the moment your eyes met, the guy who once had an emo haircut and drove around an old geo with an incredibly loud muffler, the guy who texted you every morning and night and called you every day, and the guy that makes you happier than life, become a father. The last two years I met a side of Rory I didn't know. The side that chased a laughing Logan around the house, the side who woke up in the middle of the night and changed diapers because I was too tired from breastfeeding them all night, the side who kissed owwies better and gave piggy back ride, the side that encouraged me to keep going through two very hard, medicine free labors, the side with so much love to give. He has been such an amazing father to my babies, it is something that means so much to me. I hope our babies know one day how lucky they truly are to have him. He amazes me with his patience and love towards our two sweet kids. He is the best dad out there and I could not ask for anything more of him. I love you Rory,  Happy Fathers Day!


Blaire is almost six weeks! What the! Where did the time go? Call me crazy, but I think she is also cutting teeth! Logan got his first two when he hit 12 weeks, but I am pretty sure she is getting hers now. She is such a sweet girl. She has been dealing with thrush the last four weeks which is pretty painful for both of us, but she has been such a trooper. She has such a beautiful smile and gorgeous blue eyes with the perfect mixture of red and brown hair. I just love our little girl. She is such a blessing.

Logan has been the best little buddy! He loves his sister! So much, that he never lets her sleep :) He loves holding her and kissing her. He is also such  a great helper. Since having Blaire, he has also grown up so much! He talks in sentences and it is just so weird! He is always asking, Where did daddy go Or mommy or grampa. He loves the Iphone as well. He no longer sleeps with us, which is sorta bitter sweet. I miss my cuddles! He recognizes where we are when we are driving. The moment we enter my moms neighborhood, he yells "Home!!!!" It is the sweetest thing. He loves going on bike rides with dad and he loves riding on the lawn mower with grampa!


I have entered my fourth week of working out 5 days a week, let me tell you the results are amazing! I am almost 6 weeks postpartum and no one would ever tell. I am 2 pounds away from 115 and fit into all of my clothes. I wont post the before picture, but I will of a recent one. My abs are coming through. I dont want a full six pack, but some nice toning. I am so excited and I have grown to love working out. It has become a part of my life style. It isnt a option, but something that just belongs in my day, three times a day. Some days are hard and I have to remind my self that it gets me closer to getting the results I want, and as soon as I finish a work out it is an immediate sense of accomplishment.

Rory turns 24 on monday. So crazy! He loves his job being an electricians apprentice. Life is just very amazing.

Logan turned 2!

Logan, You are growing up right before our eyes. You have given us so much happiness and you teach us so much. You are very polite and you always say thank you and please. You hate haircuts and scream the whole time :) you can CPU t very well to ten with the exception of a few numbers. You can tell us the sound of the letters and colors and shapes. Your hair is blonde and don't believe daddy if he tells you the mailman is your dad :) you have dark brown eyes and eyelashes to die for! Very long and thick. You talk up a storm and it is the cutest thing ever. You do the coolest tricks! You love when daddy takes you on bike rides and you got a new bike for your birthday. You are such a great brother an always comfort sister when she cries. You are out buddy and we love you so much. You are the coolest kid around. I remember first looking into your eyes and falling so deeply in love with you. I remember daddy not wanting to put you down and us staring at you for hours. You stole our hearts and became our wold the moment we saw you. It feels like you have always been apart of our family. We couldn't be happier. These have been the most amazing two years ever and I am so excited to watch you grow, just don't grow too fast. We love watching you learn and discover. You are the best buddy anyone can ask for. We love you so much Logan! Happy birthday!

Surviving my first week being a mom of 2

So, I some how managed to make it out of my first week alive, with healthy children as well! Phew!
It was actually a lot easier than I expected, and Logan has taken on being a big brother like a champ. He is so helpful and likes to help mommy give Blaire her binky, change her diaper and he is all over her with hugs and kisses. He has had a few break downs, as expected, but all around, he has done wonderful.

Rory finally got a new job! I am so proud of him! He has worked so hard for it too. He got hired on as an electricians apprentice. He will start electricians school August 21st. He likes it so far. It has been a little difficult getting used to being at home alone with two babies but I am managing. I am very excited for him!

Blaire is such an easy baby. The only time she cries is when she needs a diaper change and during bath time. She barely fusses to let me know she is hungry. Poor baby Logan had collic as a baby so he was always crying, but he was also a very sweet  baby. He loved being a wake and was very alert. She also is very alert. She wakes up 1-2 times a night for a diaper change and feeding. Speaking of feeding, I am breast feeding. I thought I would die exclusively breastfeeding on demand and having a toddler who really likes mommy being up and around with him, but Logan is learning how to be patient while baby eats. I just couldn't be happier!

House hunting is still just that, hunting. Trying to find our perfect home. Hopefully soon!

I took a few photos yesterday morning of my sweet babies. It was just to sweet not to capture!

Welcome baby Blaire!

She is here! 2 weeks early, but she made a grand arrival. She is perfect. Beautiful dark red hair with those precious blue eyes. She looks a lot like Logan. We arrived at the hospital at 1:00 pm dilated to a 4 and 80% at 5:00 I had only dilated to 5 cm and 90%. It was so discouraging. I had been walking since I arrived at the hospital. My contractions were 3 minutes apart lasting a minute. I felt very exhausted. By six I jumped to 8 cm and completely effaced. Finally, some good progress! 6:30 I was at a 9, Dr. Oneida came in and broke my bags for me. That set me back to being 8 cms again, I was in a lot of pain! Than five minutes later and the biggest urge to push ever, I was ready to get her out. I pushed til 7:05 and out she came. I had a very hard time pushing, turns out, she came out sunny side up and I had back labor again. I almost caved for the epidural, but with an amazing husband, who kept encouraging me and let me run his arm and play with his hair while moaning and groaning, and an awesome nurse, I did it! I am so proud of my little family and for what I achieved. My family is my greatest accomplishment. After delivering her, she got a big bruise on her head from coming out wrong, but she is perfect as ever. 7 pounds and 3 oz. 19 1/2 inches long. She was a big girl for being two weeks early! Logan was a little weirded out at first, but once us four got our alone time, he warmed right up and loved on her like there was no tomorrow. He wiped her down and rubbed her cheeks. He loves her. Rory and Logan are staying at home for the night. Logan did great being baby set. Hung out with gpa Keith and his awesome aunts and uncles and of coarse gma Connie. No crying or anything. I was so relieved to see my mom after delivery. She is my hero. My whole labor I wanted my mom there. Fortunately I had Rory by my side pushing me through. She is already a pro at breast feeding. I am so lucky that both of my babies have been. I feel so complete now. I am so thankful for my life and I look forward to watching her and Logan grow together.
